The Bond of Chains (The Xrath War Book 1) by Robert John Burke (18 Reviews)    Price verified 5 minutes ago

For a thousand years, the armored giants known as Xrath were oppressed by the technologically advanced Armada. Only one of the common races rose to their defense: A plucky group of talking primates called "humans." The Liberation came, and the Xrath were set free. But the friendship did not last. The human race proved capricious, and spread themselves throughout the stars in their eternal quest for wealth and power. Meanwhile, the Xrath isolated themselves, suspicious of all outside their borders, awaiting their time of reckoning with such false friends. Now, hundreds of years after that first encounter, the time is at hand. Krion xk'Kialar, the bringer of thunder, greatest of all Xrath generals, has assumed command of their forces and launched a daring campaign against the humans and their allies. All that stands between humanity and a fiery judgment is the courage of an unlikely group of heroes: An arrogant fighter pilot with a troubled home life. A no-nonsense soldier trying to live up to her father's name. A castoff reporter with a chip on her shoulder. A mercenary with a history working for the Xrath. And a funny little man named Skyler, a technical genius on the run whose affinity for chaos may render him more dangerous than all the ships and soldiers in all the worlds... Full of action, political intrigue, and space opera, The Bond of Chains envisions a dark Universe where mankind struggles for its very survival, where the demons within are always more frightening than the monsters without. The Xrath War begins now, and the Universe will never be the same...

The work of agricultural researchers and development workers in Africa has the potential to significantly improve the lives of the poor. But that potential can only be realized with easy access to high-quality data and information. The Atlas of African Agriculture Research & Development highlights the ubiquitous role of smallholder agriculture in Africa; the many factors shaping the location, nature, and performance of agricultural enterprises; and the strong interdependencies among farming, natural-resource stocks and flows, and the well-being of the poor. Organized around 7 themes, the atlas covers more than 30 topics, each providing mapped geospatial data and supporting text that answers four fundamental questions: What is this map telling us? Why is this important? What about the underlying data? Where can I learn more? The atlas is part of a wide-ranging eAtlas initiative that will showcase, through print and online resources, a variety of spatial data and tools generated and maintained by a community of research scientists, development analysts, and practitioners working in and for Africa.

It couldn't come from him he is a good God and it can't come from inside of a man because man was created in God's image and he was Holy as God is Holy. So it came from the outside! It was a lie that's all that it was. just a lie!... And the lie was that we are not created in God's image and so we are not Good as he is Good. When that lie is believed evil enters the world. When a man speaks he creates just like God. So when a man speaks evil he creates evil. Why would he speak evil in the first place? From seeing and hearing something that is outside. All that man receives from the outside... An experience he has might get inside his thoughts and turn into a belief and based on that belief he starts speaking. That's where judgments come from. But who remembers the verse in the Bible that says God does not judge based on the appearances and the outside but the inside? who are you inside? Who are we all humans inside?

Why would spry senior Bob Weiderley suddenly fall into a coma after winning a game of Bingo? After all, he was the most physically fit of all the men at the Happy Haven Assisted Living Facility -- able to bend over to tie his own shoes and use the stairs rather than the elevator. It was just very suspicious. That's why Essie Cobb and her friends and fellow residents--Opal, Marjorie, and Fay--decided to investigate. Was it possible that someone was out to get the friendly old gentleman? Maybe it was Violet, Happy Haven's manager, trying to cover up her shady past. Or Sue, the activities director, whose behavior was strange to say the least. Maybe it was one of the three women who sat at Bob's regular table in the dining room. Or the mysterious man who had recently sent Bob a startling letter. Essie Cobb is determined to find out -- and she's not going to let her age (90), her weak bladder, or her various infirmities hold her back. Welcome to Happy Haven. If you thought most elderly residents of assisted living facilities spent their days sitting in the sun watching television, you haven't met senior sleuth Essie Cobb and her three detecting buddies. These four elderly ladies have curiosity and drive unusual for women in their 80's and 90's. They may not be able to get around as fast as youngsters in their 60's, or navigate the Interstate or Interweb (or whatever that computer thing is called), but they can solve a mystery.

A Knock at the Door: Who is she? Who was she? by Peter Rowlands (218 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

A brain-teasing mystery that grabs you right from the start - and then delivers A bedraggled woman turns up on Rory Cavenham's doorstep in the middle of a storm, convinced that the year is 1972, but claiming to have lost her memory. Despite his own troubled past, Rory is drawn to her; but she's fearful of authority and frightened of mysterious pursuers, and insists on keeping a low profile as she adjusts to modern life. Determined to help her, Rory finds links to two strong but compromised women, but the truth behind their interlocking stories remains elusive. Meanwhile, the pursuers turn out to be all too real, and the pace builds as the story lunges towards its remarkable and redemptive climax. Fast-moving and engrossing, A Knock at the Door defies easy categorisation. It is part mystery thriller, part detective story, and part romance. It even hovers on the edge of science fiction, though it always keeps both feet firmly on the ground. One beta reader reports "snatching at the pages" to find an explanation for the brain-teasing paradox at the heart of the novel: who is the woman, and how can she be the person she appears to be? Readers who have enjoyed Peter Rowlands' popular Mike Stanhope mysteries will be fascinated by this complex and intriguing tale. Like them, it is distinguished by vibrant characters and sparkling dialogue, but it also introduces some beguiling new ingredients that add extra edge to the mix. Plaudits for Peter Rowlands' mystery novels: "Different, colourful, imaginative and infectious. He draws you into a world where you're never quite sure what's happening or how it will end." "I've devoured his books with increasing respect... " "Rowlands' plots are unique, and as detailed and intricate as you will find anywhere... " "It really makes a difference when an author knows how to tell a story... I just went along for the ride, and it was a good one."

They hire her anyway, for her "special qualities". They can't shake the feeling she belongs with them, but that seems impossible! It doesn't take long before Tess discovers the truth, but her special qualities prevent them from removing the knowledge from her mind. She becomes stuck between human reality and that of The Apara. She can't sit idly by while the Apara man responsible for her must prevent an ominous, but undefined threat to humanity. Despite her incompatibility, The Apara bring out Tess's latent psychic gifts, and must teach her how to use them. As long as she's human, she'll never belong anywhere fully. She's more than human, but not truly one of the Apara. Will they be able to stop the ominous "Black Cloud" event The Apara's precognitive warnings allude to? Or will Tess's new life be short-lived, along with many others on the planet?
