Owen (Special Forces: Operation Alpha) (Blue Team Book 1) by Riley Edwards (4,157 Reviews)    Price verified 7 minutes ago

Owen Cullen was a dream. Not a dream come true because I'd never dared to dream. He was my wildest fantasy, a hallucination, a delusion. The handsome man who'd saved my life -- twice. He was a real-life hero, and I was... what was I? Filth, that was what I was. The daughter of a gangster, the niece of the reigning king of Chicago's underground. I tried my best not to fall in love with Owen. I tried not to mistake his kindness. I tried to remember the lessons of my youth: Love was a weakness. Sex was a weapon. It didn't work. I fell in love. Then my uncle found me, and I ruined everything. Natasha. It was a fake name. One she'd made up on the fly when my team had rescued her from a life worse than death. She had no place to go, so I took her home. It was supposed to be temporary, just until we learned who she was. But the woman proved to be stubborn and kept her secrets buried deep. She'd lived with me for months, and every day the pull of her called to me. I was living a nightmare of my own making. I didn't trust women, especially the one sleeping in my guest bedroom. I'd fought the good fight. I'd held out for as long as I could. Then all of her secrets came out, but it was too late. I was in too deep. Natasha, the beautiful woman with no last name, was mine. But she had a last name -- Pollaski. Everything came crashing down. I was no stranger to the battlefield. I was used to blood, guts, and no glory. What I wasn't accustomed to was the feeling of my heart being torn from my chest. What I was not acquainted with was desperation. Natasha was gone, and I had less than twenty-four hours to find her, or she'd be gone in a different way. Welcome back to Z Corp and Special Forces -- Operation Alpha. New team, new badass former military heroes. Like the teams that have come before, Owen, Gabe, Myles, Kevin, and Cooper are ready for action. With a little help from Susan Stoker's unparalleled cast of heroes.

One Life Well and Truly Promised by Richard D. Parker Price verified 15 minutes ago

It began six thousand years ago, before the birth of the Akkadian Empire, with a pair of young lovers. Destinies entwined around a first, pure love, a tragic ending, and a promise. "I want you to promise me a life," she whispered so softly he barely heard her. She slowly sat up and searched the gloom of the hut warily. "Akhila!" Akintunde hissed quietly, glancing about fearfully. It was strictly taboo to speak of future lives and a well-known harbinger of ill luck. If an attentive god should hear, whether good or evil, they might strike you dead so that you could quickly begin the new life you so coveted. Akhila flinched but quickly regained her resolve. "I'm afraid Tunde," she admitted and then leaned closer and lowered her voice. "The gods could all be gone... or dead. One life... just one full life... promise." Akintunde paused, straining his senses, wildly searching for the presence of a god. Of course, he failed in the endeavor, but his eyes fearfully scanned the interior of the hut nevertheless. "I promise," he mouthed, just above a whisper and a wave of dread swept through him. Though there was no outward sign of change, he knew his words were the beginning. He could feel it. The destiny of his soul had been forever changed. Spanning the breadth of recorded history, this timeless historical saga follows two unfortunate lovers across the globe in their never-ending quest to fulfill a promise of love and life. Through the Polynesian South Pacific, to the tribal lands of the Iceni in early Britain, fortune contrives again and again to keep the entangled souls apart. From war-torn Japan in the twelfth century, to the mountainous tea regions of Darjeeling, Bengal, the two lovers struggle to reunite. Until finally, in the fertile fields of the American Midwest, the story culminates in ways even destiny could not have imagined.

Blood Brothers: The Unveiling (Book one) by Ethan E Westwood (5 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

The C'raether evolved alongside mankind, ultimately to hunt them as prey. Few in number, they remain hidden within human society. They take human lives and souls without qualm, feeding on blood and memories to sustain their immortality. The Brothers, as they call themselves, selected a new recruit. That was me: Ethan Westwood; erstwhile local rock guitarist, with an erratic drug habit and multi-layered personality; a confused soul, oddly out of phase with the world. My hidden heritage was key to my nagging unease, and also my invitation into their strange company. Joining the Brothers changed me - in some ways for the better, and in other ways destructively. Being initiated and accepted by the Brothers gave me purpose and belonging, which I needed at the time, but I had just traded one addiction for another. My selection came at great cost: confusion and hurt; betrayal of the people I loved; many lives taken, and many others destroyed. Read less

ABOUT THE AUTHOR I was born and raised in Russia (former Soviet Union), and had lived half of my life there, until I moved to United States 20 years ago, following the love of my life, my one and only. Reading was always my passion, especially science fiction, fantasy, and related genres. I grew up spending hours and hours in a public library, reading amazing novels created by Asimov and Bradbury, King and Tolkien, Verne and Stephenson, or any other Si-Fi book I could get my hands on. I was writing stories in my head, inspired by those great books. I was adding my own characters and coming up with their new adventures. Of course, most of those stories had a girl hero, a main character that I loved to associate myself with; and of course, all the stories had some romance added to them as well. Even though I was always strong in math and later in computer science, and picked those subjects as my career, I kept holding on to all the ideas in my head. Years later I found courage to transition those stories from my thoughts onto the paper. "The Queen of Nordern" is my first attempt at creating an entertaining novel. I really hope that the adventures of my heroine will capture readers as much as they captured my own interest.

Epistemological Bias in the Physical & Social Sciences by Abdelwahab M. Elmessiri (Editor) (International Institute of Islamic Thought) (4 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

The question of bias in methodology and terminology is a problem that faces researchers east, west, north and south; however, it faces Third World intellectuals with special keenness. For although they write in a cultural environment that has its own specific conceptual and cultural paradigms, they nevertheless encounter a foreign paradigm which attempts to impose itself upon their society and upon their very imagination and thoughts. When the term "developmental psychology" for instance is used in the West Arab scholars also say "developmental psychology", when "applied psychology" is mentioned they hurry to use the same term etc. Why not establish a new science with its own mechanisms, methodologies and points of reference to deal with epistemological biases and open up the gate of ijtihad with respect to them? This collection of papers aims to discover some of the biases latent in our terminology, methodologies, research tools, and conceptual principles, and to propose alternative ones marked by a greater degree of independence and neutrality. This is not to belittle the human value of the West's creative contributions but to emphasize the danger of making it the ultimate point of reference and then trying to continuously play "catch up" with it.
