The Many Shades of Midnight (Tales of Isyr Book 1) by C M Debell (49 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

A plague of monsters. A deadly conspiracy. A truth that will shatter the world. Isyr. Stronger, brighter, more beautiful than other metals. Once the most desirable thing in Ellasia, now it is priceless, the pure Isyrium needed to produce it mined to exhaustion. What's left is controlled by the powerful mining syndicates, and such is the demand for their Isyrium that even kings do their bidding. Yet just as the beauty of Isyr hides a deadly secret, so too do the syndicates. A terrifying enemy is spreading a plague across the land, a sickness that kills or transforms everything it touches. Unable to contain the outbreaks, the King of Lankara begs the aid of his disgraced former military commander, Alyas-Raine Sera, a man who has spent years fighting syndicate expansion and whose resentment over his exile makes him an unpredictable, dangerous ally in the power struggle between the rulers of Ellasia and the mining companies. Attached to the envoy to recall Alyas, the apprentice surgeon Brivar finds his skills and loyalty tested as his service to his new patron uncovers secrets about Isyr and the plague that link it to the mining of Isyrium - and threaten the life of the man it is his duty to safeguard. In their own separate ways, Alyas and Brivar must take on the might of the syndicates and confront the greed, murder, betrayal and impossible choices of a crisis that has been decades in the making - and the price of their failure could be everyone and everything. The Many Shades of Midnight is a gritty political fantasy about friendship, sacrifice, and the fight for survival in a world where greed drives everything and no one can be trusted. If you enjoy complex characters, intricate world-building, and high-stakes intrigue, you'll love this standalone grimdark fantasy.

El poeta que hace muchos años dijo pertenecer a "un pueblo de grandes comedores de serpientes" (Los cuadernos del destierro, 1960) no ha dejado nunca de buscar la palabra "que sea como el temblor que la sostiene" (Intemperie, (1977).

It has always been an instrument for national security, a marker of national sovereignty, a site of technological innovation and a promise of energy abundance. It has also introduced permanent pollution and the age of the Anthropocene. This volume presents a new perspective on nuclear history and politics by focusing on four interconnected themes-violence and survival; control and containment; normalizing through denial and presumptions; memories and futures-and exploring their relationships and consequences. It proposes an original reflection on nuclear technology from a long-term, comparative and transnational perspective. It brings together contributions from researchers from different disciplines (anthropology, history, STS) and countries (US, France, Japan) on a variety of local, national and transnational subjects. Finally, this book offers an important and valuable insight into other global and Anthropocene challenges such as climate change.

Crucifixion and Why Jesus Was Crucified by James Thomas Lee Jr (4 Reviews)    Price verified 18 minutes ago

Some people might think that Easter is about family get-togethers and the Easter Bunny. It is not. Therefore, this text, while focusing primarily on the prophecies of the Prophet Isaiah and especially on those that explain why Jesus was crucified, also discusses prophecies written by other Old Testament prophets. In the first three parts of this text, nine passages from the book of Isaiah will be examined leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus. Those passages are Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 64:6-7, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6-7, Isaiah 42:1-7, Isaiah 41:27-29, Isaiah 61:1-3, Isaiah 50:4-9, and Isaiah 52:13-15. The idea is that when a person sees and understands them, it will be much easier to understand the First Coming of Jesus as a suffering servant, His death on the cross, and His second coming as a ruling and reigning king. In the fourth part of this text, some of the specific details of what He had suffered for every person by being humiliated, tortured, scourged, and crucified will be examined. That part of this text will take a close look at the fifty-third chapter of the book of Isaiah. Once again, it will become very clear that the Holy Spirit had greatly used Isaiah to share with the world all about Jesus and about His life and death while in human form. After that, the fifth part of this text will share ten things that Jesus had accomplished by His death on the cross. Without a doubt, all human beings have received much by His willingness to suffer and die for all. The final part of this text will try to bring the whole significance of Jesus dying on the cross to a logical conclusion. Obviously that conclusion greatly involves coming to Him by faith to be saved. To be clear, the intent will be to suggest that this existence is not really about this existence at all. That means that living one's life without Jesus is almost like not living at all. But even worse, leaving this life without Him is not very smart. That might sound mean-spirited or harsh. But it is the ...

On an otherwise ordinary spring day in sunny Jacksonville, Florida, an unhinged gunman shreds the fabric of a nation in yet another outburst of senseless gun violence. His victims are primarily children -- innocents walking home from school in those final fleeting days before the promise of spring break and time spent with family and friends.

He doesn't quite realize the seriousness of his wish until his once imaginary, but now quite real friend, Yetews, unexpectedly draws him into the hidden world of Imagia. Though he believes that he is merely on an adventure of his own creating, he begins to see that he's wrong. What begins as an exciting adventure quickly spirals into a waking nightmare. With the help of his Guardian and the friends he makes along the way, he discovers just how powerful imagination is and how dangerous it can be when used by the wrong mind. His unique ability will alter the course of his life and change the very world he's in. Once he finds that he's been brought into this world in the midst of dark and dangerous times, he's forced upon a decision that no child should be forced to make - return home, or become one of the lost children in Imagia forever.

Axiom: A Divine Dungeon Series (Artorian's Archives Book 1) by Dennis Vanderkerken (2,389 Reviews)    Price verified 8 minutes ago

A town put to the sword. The young forcibly recruited. An old man out for revenge. After his town is put to the sword and the children are taken to replace the fallen, an old man is out for revenge. He's ready to fail at the most difficult challenge in the world: cultivation. Too corrupted to even take the first steps, the sly old elder simply agreed with those who told him that it was impossible. Then he quietly ignored them, rubbed his hands together, and started anyway. He had always failed in what he did: he lost his way from the academy, his command was devastated by a Mage, he lost his town, and now his last hopes for the future had been stolen by a group of raiders. The only thing that had never failed him was his sharp mind and philosophy. He would cultivate... no matter what it cost him. A lifetime of failure can dull and dampen a soul. A reason to live, a goal, can change that in an instant. It is always darkest just before the dawn.

The first was a riddle. The second was a mystery. The third was a conspiracy. In the wee hours of a summer morning, shadows surround a building. In minutes, it's engulfed in flames. A fire isn't usually within the scope of a homicide case, so why is Sergeant Malcolm X. Hobbs called to the scene? After the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department (AFRD) scours the burned rubble, they find no body, clothing, or identification.
