Book excerpt: When Tony Valentine, a master at catching casino cheaters, jets to Las Vegas to look for his missing son, he lands in the middle of a dangerous turf war between rival casinos. Valentine’s longtime pal then taps him to figure out how an amateur won $25,000 at his blackjack tables. But the job is full of land mines. For starters, the suspect bears a strong resemblance to his late wife. Upping the ante, a dead stripper is found with Valentine’s calling card–and her grief-stricken policeman boyfriend is vowing revenge. Yet in a city where barracudas wear pinstripes, and reality and illusion shift depending on the neon light, a greater threat maneuvers through the streets: an all-new breed of criminal with an agenda propelled by fury that will shake not only Valentine, but the city of Las Vegas itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major Danish Mehra woke up groggy and disoriented from his concussed state behind the shroud of shrubs. He wheezed in pain as he turned around to take stock of his surroundings and peered through the shrubs in front. The ground splayed out into an open grassy esplanade beyond. Overnight cold and dew had left his left side numbed, shoulder downwards. It was still quite dark with a cloak of fog clinging about as he checked his watch; 0515 the analog stared back through the cracked glass. Shuddering in the wetness he searched around as his hand touched something. It was a body! The shock sent him into tizzy as he clutched his forehead trying to remember the events of the last night as pain wrecked through his distressed body in waves. It all came back in dazzling clarity as he recollected having chased this guy from the car park outside his office which ended in an altercation; who killed whom and why? An involuntary convulsion on his left side made him touch his shoulder and he seethed in pain; his fingers came back wet.....he smelled them. Blood! ACP Zaid Khan, IB knew that the ‘Operation Loaded Dice’ had been a master stroke of the ISI across the borders but was unaware of the level of penetration achieved in the power centres of Delhi. Who were they now? What was the Objective and the back-up plans? How were the sympathisers and guides maintaining the logistics including cash flow? Questions that had no easy answers and one luxury that they didn’t have was time. The enemy was deeply embedded and faceless; yet to pin them down he needed to separate ‘Friend from Foe’…. that too in his own country’s capital! Two protagonists, hailing from different organizations unbeknownst to each other were working in tandem across different spectrums. Chillingly the destiny had made them the only heir apparent to this enfolding conundrum amidst a pit full of vipers. Will they succeed was the moot question! Find out as the plot unfolds across Delhi in this must-read thriller!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spending the summers growing up on my uncles' farm was, for me, an education in learning about my life on the farm. Much of my time was spent in observing how my uncles milked the cows teats and how they led them afterward out to the field to eat and rest. I watched the horses, as they too, were led to the fields where they rested after pulling the wagons filled with hay into the barn.I saw the trees which had been planted years before and had grown protecting everyone from the heat of the summer sun. And I learned to play baseball with children from nearby farms who challenged me and my friends to win. I learned about the mothers who came with their children to the country to escape the sweltering city and to gratefully breathe the country air and then to welcome their tired husbands and children's fathers on weekends.I grew up thankful for all that I experienced in those years and I remain thankful to this day, for all I have learned.

Book excerpt: A potpourri of poetry and amazing tales that cross genre borders, between fantasy, horror, noir, science fiction, and more, from the legendary Poul Anderson and his wife, Karen Anderson Lyrical and beautiful, enchanting and strange, exhilarating and horrific, this extraordinary collaboration between science fiction–fantasy luminary Poul Anderson and his equally creative wife, Karen, almost defies description. Combining their extraordinary talents, the Andersons have produced a sumptuous feast of the written word—stories that delight, move, and disturb, mixed with rich, sumptuous poetry that soars. A truly stunning collection, The Unicorn Trade transports readers to places at once uniquely strange and strangely familiar—magical fairy realms, the far reaches of outer space, and the twisted minds of madmen. Stories of love, loss, and self-discovery are met with soaring verse that celebrates the human spirit and the wonders of the universe. Here are unforgettable bounding leaps of the imagination, where detective noir is ingeniously reimagined, and tales of Edgar Allan Poe–like suspense stand side by side with poignant tributes to the men who led us to the stars. Real treasures are to be found here—a hungry Olympian god’s interactions with a divine computer, a murdered man’s shrewd revenge, an Earthling’s con game on an unsuspecting Martian visitor, and other such flights of inventive fancy—in a sterling compendium of stories, poems, and science fiction haikus (scifaiku) as bright as starshine and more magical and enduring than fairy gold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport, Law and Philosophy: The Jurisprudence of Sport discusses the intersection of law and sport and highlights its usefulness to both legal scholars and philosophers of sport. There is a general recognition that law and sports bear strong similarities. Both can be understood as systems of rules, with a judge/referee who has the power to adjudicate and to issue punishments/penalties. Divided into two parts, this volume presents an exploration of central philosophical issues arising from the intersections of law and sport and makes reference to current events and controversies. Experts from across the globe discuss a range of issues such as sports as legal systems, the game as a social contract, the role of the referee, including VAR, rule breaking, equality in women’s sport, justice on the sports field and in the court room, and issues surrounding the application of law to sports. The book will be a valuable resource to Undergraduates, Postgraduates and for those working in the areas of legal philosophy, sports law, and philosophy of sport.
