Duncan, a bookish linguist, and Alexis, a beautiful gladiator in the prime of her career, suddenly find themselves drawn into the struggles between two warring kingdoms.

Yet no sooner is she awarded his position, title, and wealth when she is called upon to lead the nation's warriors in the first full scale battle she has ever experienced, against an enemy who take no prisoners.

Calling himself a Wizard of the Universe, he is brought before the Council of Prelates to explain his obvious heresy.

Moment of Freedom: Selected Poetry (Poetry of life and death Book 2) by William Cook (4 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Moment of Freedom: Selected Poetry realization, a never-ending vision - the horizon perpetually receding a being, spinning quite alone, eyelids dissolved that second of freedom when the heart skips a beat Moment of Freedom: Selected Poetry, is the first ebook collection of William Cook's dark and symbolic poetry. A chapbook sized edition (35 pages) that will leave the reader with much imagery and food for thought. From a reader's review: "William Cook joins the Modernism School of Poetry. From Wiki: "For the modernists, it was essential to move away from the merely personal towards an intellectual statement that poetry could make about the world." Thus William combines a writing style of prose and poetry to weave an intellectual tapestry, slipping his words in and out of subjective and objective observations, pulling and pushing the reader to envision the completed tapestry while savoring the in's and out's of the words themselves, much as we watch a movie without thinking about the camera work or actor interpretations of the screenplay. As Peter Gabriel points out in The Cinema Show regarding the use of cosmetics: "Concealing to reveal." Let's consider the "The edge of the night" from MOMENT OF FREEDOM: Selected Poetry. First off, two notes: the title Moment of Freedom is ironic in that the title indirectly states, a lifetime of slavery to the "moment of freedom", much as the term "a cloudless clim" from Lord Byron, must incorporate "cloud" to denote an empty sky: an image to convey emptiness rather than simply using the unpoetic "empty" to state such. Second, the poem's title capitalizes the article but not the noun or prepositional phrase, combining poetic license with standard grammatical rule (namely "The", the first word in the line, must be capitalized). The intellectualizing has begun; William flaunts the world's rules by obeying them as he pleases, this, a moment of freedom. To discuss William's deliberate misuse of grammar would be folly as it is part ...

The story line of each character is brilliantly constructed as the novel is brought to an explosive conclusion. If you enjoy historical thrillers, I recommend this effort. (M&D) "A good World War II epic with settings in civil war Spain, depression America, and the Far East." (AC) "I loved this book for its historical scenes, believable characters, and intriguing plot. I was surprised at the romance interspersed throughout the story. In many ways, it's more a romantic-spiritual adventure than a novel about war." (LoMo) "A powerful story of love and war. Actually, it's four beautifully intertwined stories of four tormented strangers and their confrontation with an evil force atop a 23,000 foot ridge in the Himalaya.

Dead Water: Selected Poetry: Selected Poetry (Poetry of life and death Book 1) by William Cook (King Billy Publications) (5 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Dead Water: Selected Poetry is the first book in the series 'Poetry of Life and Death.' Inside this selection of verse that deals with themes of life, death, and philosophy - the reader will encounter a dark symbolist style of poetry imbued with the horrors of human frailty and mortality. From a reader's review: "Prepare for a journey: a path made of words that twists and turns through a landscape familiar and yet foreign. These poems will make you feel as if you are racing along the tracks of life and sliding through this world we take for granted. There are many visions you will see along the way... When your destination is reached, you will stand laid bare, able to see and be seen in a kaleidoscope of enlightenment. But will the dawn spit you out, or will you be trodden underfoot into the warm earth? Of love and loss, life and death, much will be revealed in the searing ocean depths. But will you tread the tempest, or be plunged into the roiling sea?" - Donald White

EMY'S LONELINESS AND THE TULIPS IN HER POCKETS by No name (1 Review)    Price verified 7 hours ago

These short stories and poems are about the uneasiness of being alive and the characters' feeble attempts not to go off the deep end. The philosophical movement that influences this manuscript is Antinatalism, hence I suggest referring to it for a better understanding. They have a variety of inspirations: Franco Basaglia's revolutionary heterodoxy in Psychiatry; The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka; people's passive obedience to lockdown measures; cultural clash; the abolition of life imprisonment and the death penalty and the reform of the entire judicial system by adopting Restorative Justice as the main approach. The focus remains on the restlessness and discomfort of living, and the hedgehog's dilemma.

More than I Asked by Whitney Wes (1 Review)    Price verified 7 hours ago

READ FOR FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED She entered Gloria's bedroom, quietly closing the door behind her. She was reading in bed, almost asleep, but the click of the door awakened her and she rose from her bed, her eyes with surprise, wet and shimmering with tears of joy. She beckoned Leena to her and she shyly padded towards her mistress. Gloria gently pulled her into her arms, her hands caressing her back, down to her buttocks. Her lips kissing Leena's flat stomach, moving towards her breasts. She moaned with exquisite pleasure as Gloria began to suck at her breasts, the sharp end of her tongue circling and teasing at her ripe strawberry colored nipples. Gloria then laid her gently down on the bed, moving in-between her legs and kissing her deeply, her tongue lapping at her soaking maidenhead. She felt Gloria's fingers begin to explore her. Inserting only one at first and slowly moving it back and forth. It felt as if her insides were filling with a boiling liquid the faster Gloria moved inside of her. Soon there were two fingers inside of her, then three, and then finally, Gloria somehow managed to push her entire hand inside of her, her tongue still lapping at the shy button of her clitoris. But now she was no longer boiling, her insides were now molten lava. She screams out and Gloria pulls her hand from her as she erupts. Her thick juices splash across Gloria's face soaking her. She is laughing. Laughing at the pure pleasure, she has just experienced. WARNING - This book contains steamy romance scenes and is suitable for 18+ only.

The Last Man by R L Swihart (1 Review)    Price verified 7 hours ago

For at least two good reasons, I've decided to rerelease The Last Man, my first book of poems, on my own: It has gone out of print -- both in paperback and via Kindle; and a few good readers (faithful, curious, random), missing it the first time around, may just want to "have at it." The look has changed a bit (minor changes in cover and text), but essentially it's the same book. I don't know that it's even me anymore, but certainly it was an earlier self. Half the poems I still have a fondness for, the other half I only half-remember.

Storm at Sunset by Ian Hall (Lume Books) (95 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

The end is only the beginning... Aircraftman Arthur Brownlow and his wife Joy are among the cheering thousands in London celebrating VE Day in May 1945. But the young couple have heard the chastening words of Winston Churchill: "We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing; but let us not forget for a moment the toil and efforts that lie ahead. Japan, with all her treachery and greed, remains unsubdued. We must now devote all our strength and resources to the completion of our task, both at home and abroad." Arthur knows that he is not, like many of his fellow conscripted airmen, about to be demobbed. He is to be sent to the Far East as a member of 31 Squadron RAF, which is equipped with a fleet of battered Dakotas ferrying supplies into remote jungle bases and bringing out a wretched human cargo from Japanese internment camps. Even after the Japanese surrender, it's grim work for Brownlow and fellow crew members. They keep a stiff upper lip, but harmony is threatened with the arrival of a subversive Glaswegian docker Jock Patterson and his mutinous message.

What shocking news is about to emerge from Bekasi, where 'Uncle' forced landed? Can Wing Commander Brian Macnamara deal with the poisonous Patterson and get the squadron's mission completed?
