How can a young wizard find his way in life without guidance? Joramm's troubles did not end after Kreltahk's defeat at Riyahm. The older wizards who fought and died by his side left him with tremendous power, but they had no time to share the knowledge and wisdom he would need to use it effectively. Joramm seeks answers as he wanders alone in the ruined kingdom. He seeks hope for his future. Most of all, he seeks peace. All of these things evade him. With rumors flying that the king died in Kreltahk's final attack on the kingdom, local lords see an opportunity for conquest. Lord Jilarke is eager to make Konag the new seat of power. Unlike the king and queen in Madarre, who had shown their distrust in wizards even before Kreltahk fell in battle, Lord Jilarke welcomes the use of magic to crush his enemies and become the new king. As the threat of new war rises, Joramm must decide his path. He can flee and possibly never find the answers he seeks. Or he can stay, fight to protect the kingdom, and possibly never find the peace he seeks. Once again, the fate of the kingdom may rest in the hands of a boy from a remote fishing village.

My name is Ashe, and I'm one of millions of Imperial Conscripts. Like everyone else, I just want to get through my term with as few demerits and as much excitement as possible. That way I'd actually have a good chance to get into a proper Academy, and not have to go with my back-up plan of joining a minor Strike-Wave league as a goalie prospect. You'd think that would be easy, considering how many people manage it all the time. Sadly I've got a disadvantage that not many in the Empire share... I'm Human. Not even halfway through my term of service, and I've already been assigned to more units than most conscripts will in their entire career. If I'm not being mocked for my appearance, I'm not believed when I investigate corruption and problems. All I want is a chance to prove myself, to prove that I'm worthy of joining Imperial Intelligence even before my conscription is over. I may even have a chance on Oshflara; a multi-species colony. Officially a quiet world where the cultures of the Empire can live together in peace, I know better. Any planet with multiple species is one that's got to have plenty of problems, and with problems there could be chances to test myself. With luck it will be the perfect place to root out secrets, discover hidden knowledge, and maybe even impress my new squad. If I can pull it off, it'll show off my investigative skills in the best way possible. If I can't... I can only hope I'll survive it.

On Fire: A Memoir by Steph West (45 Reviews)    Price verified 28 minutes ago

"On Fire" is an award-winning memoir that readers are calling a heartbreaking and sometimes darkly humorous mother-daughter, coming-of-age tale written with gritty authenticity by author and award-winning journalist Steph West. In this cohesive collection of provocative stories, West details the precarious journey of raising her daughter while going through a quarter-life crisis of her own. She writes intimately about their mother-daughter relationship and how it, and Savannah's belief in her, kept her going every day despite their brush with homelessness, an attempted sexual assault on West, and multiple career derailments including losing a job at a major sports league. "On Fire" is a poignant and uplifting exploration of the mother-daughter relationship and how it's affected by weight, gender, mental health issues, and class inequities in the Midwest. West's sharp observations of the systemic way our culture marginalizes single mothers -- and contrasting intimate stories of raising her daughter within that culture -- makes it a must-read for mothers and fathers of daughters, and children of single mothers.

We'd shut down a smuggling operation that spanned from the Empire to the far end of the Near Reaches. Helped destroy a conspiracy's training facility, capturing or killing hundreds of people who'd been working against our nation. All I wanted to do was go home. Rest before our next mission. To help put an end to that project so that we could move on to another. Instead I was drugged, abducted, and shoved into a prison cell aboard a ship. I had no weapons, no armor, no equipment. No way to call for help, no way to tell my pack that I was still alive. That I needed their help. Instead I have a sealed door, gruel for food, and a cellmate I can't understand. I have no idea where we're being taken. Why we were taken. Who else is on this ship with me. All I know is that my luck had better turn around soon, or else I'll be too dead to find the answers to those questions.

Donald Trump Destroys Babylon the Great by Will Clark (Motivation Basics) (2 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Who is Babylon the Great? Revelation 17:5 presents a description: "And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth." This question has been a mystery since Apostle John wrote the Book of Revelation two thousand years ago. Some claim Babylon is the Vatican. They even write that the Pope as head of that religion is the prophesied Antichrist. Still many others write that the United States will become that prophesied Babylon with her fall from grace and economics; which will lead to degradation and turning from God in despair. Throughout history many have offered a definition of this Babylon; but in vain. The mystery of this question could not have been solved until our current generation. Now that answer is 'crystal clear' as prophesied in Revelation 4:6. The mystery is solved in the verse following the one describing Mystery Babylon. Verse 6 continues: "And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus." Only two religions are described as women in Revelation. One is Christianity. The other is represented by Babylon the Great; the whore that sits upon the scarlet colored beast. Babylon is revealed. She still rides that scarlet colored beast called Satan; and she still delights in destroying Christians and anything related to the Grace of God. Yes; Babylon is that religion; and she is hell-bound to create such havoc and chaos on earth until that Great War erupts. But even with her great strength given by Satan she will be defeated and totally annihilated as praised by an angel in Chapter 18: "Babylon the Great is fallen, is fallen!" God's forces will win that Great Battle as described in Chapter 9. That battle will begin when the fifth angel sounds the fifth trumpet. God's forces will be led by a king, 'the angel of the bottomless pit' whose name in Greek is Apollyon. This is described as 'Destroyer.' Could the sound of the fifth ...

Outsourcing Student Success: The History of Institutional Research and the Future of Higher Education by Joseph Wycoff (10 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

American scholars of higher education -- the faculty who study the intellectual, social and economic activity of colleges in the United States -- have raised impediments to the scientific study of higher education and frustrated the accumulation of knowledge about what works for college student success for over fifty years. At its inception in the early twentieth century, the field of institutional research aspired to apply scientific principles to the study of higher education and its administration. During the first fifty years of its practice, the field developed on a trajectory similar to other social sciences during the twentieth century, fostering more complex and rigorous studies of college success while also guiding statewide research on student access. By the mid-1960s, when system-wide improvements gained traction across the nation, a growing body of academic literature on higher education decried institutional research as a threat to traditional prerogatives of faculty at the local institutions. Prominent scholars of higher education called for "an academic orientation... bolstering the point of view of the faculty." By the mid-1970s, this group gained control of the national associations for the study of higher education and the organizations subsequently dismissed institutional research -- the scientific study of higher education -- as an obsolete or misguided line of inquiry. Over the next forty years, scholars associated with the national organizations argued that higher education institutions are intractably unique and, therefore, studies of colleges and universities do not lead to generalizations that support the accumulation of knowledge or the advancement of a social science. Higher education scholarship, they claimed, "should not be expected to produce knowledge of pervasive and lasting significance" and research on higher education "is more an art than a science." As Clark Kerr famously declared, "the essential conservatism of ...

Diamond Raiders: Mount Kumgang Mystery by Mae Adams (118 Reviews)    Price verified 28 minutes ago

Mount Kumgang was the sacred place of Koreans for many centuries. In the 7th century, the Silla Kingdom (one of the three kingdoms) built a captivating Buddhist Temple. It looked like the House of Three Gods, defined as Heaven, Earth, and the God of Ancestors. Every poet and artist who lived during the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910) made a special journey to paint watercolors and write verses. The World War II division of the country in 1945 stopped the South Korean people from visiting these cherished mountains for the past 78 years. The 155-mile-long barbed-wire fence erected as part of the Demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas after the War proved to be an obstruction deadlier than any other barrier. Numerous folk tales, myths, and legends connected to Mount Kumgang delighted people for many generations. But the story in this book is concerned with raiders of diamonds from the Temple during the Japanese occupation of 35 years, where no Korean police existed, and the Japanese police controlled all the crimes in the country. However, it is the natural law that anyone raiding things from a sacred place has to pay the price. How to identify the raiders and what price the raiders had to pay is anyone's guess. Koreans are gentle and seldom engage in murder, although they can be hot-headed to butt their heads first and shake hands later. Thus, identifying guilty people was extremely difficult.

The Outrageous Queens by Marc Alexander (243 Reviews)    Price verified 28 minutes ago

Outrageous means immoderate, extravagant, extraordinary, violent, furious, grossly cruel, immoral, offensive... At least one of these words is descriptive of each of the dozen royal women whose lives are told in this book. All make fascinating psychological studies of women who wielded immense power in a world where liberty for women was an undreamed of concept. Yet they proved that when it came to intrigue - sometimes up to the point of assassination - they were equal to any male monarch of their times. Some played the role of warrior queens; red-haired Boudicca whose vengeance cost over a hundred thousand lives; Eleanor of Aquitaine who took her "Amazons" on a crusade to the Holy Land; Henrietta Maria, the "generalissima" who led an army during the English Civil War. Others were even fiercer during their reign; the infamous Queen Mary who earned her epithet of "Bloody" through the Smithfield burnings; the treacherous Elfrida who changed history when she brutally murdered King Edward at Corfe castle to make way for her son Ethelred to inherit the throne; or Isabella - the She Wolf of France - whose despised husband met one of the most horrific deaths in history. Above all the theme of The Outrageous Queens is intrigue. Some of the women in this book ruled in their own right, others by manipulating their husbands - or lovers, but all have affected our history, and all of their extraordinary stories are told here. Marc Alexander left Poverty Bay, New Zealand, to become a journalist in London. After four years on Fleet Street, he became the editorial director of a small magazine group, then the organiser of an annual film festival. Four years ago he became a full-time author, his books ranging from fiction to history.
