Book excerpt: Twenty-three men and thirty-six sled dogs travel to Antarctica aboard a sailing ship converted to steamer in the year 1888, ostensibly to find the South Pole. During the trek across the frozen wastes they begin dying grisly deaths one by one at the hands on an apparent madman and when the goal of the quest appears to be other than the South Pole, conspiracy and mutiny are the dinner guests. In a hot-blooded and at times searing cold 19th Century voice, George Wier populates a historically accurate setting with flesh-and-blood desperate men in a deft and breathless yarn. In Neptune's Forge you can taste the whale blubber, smell the burning coal-oil and feel the biting cold. And like Antarctica itself, this one's not for the faint-of-heart.

Book excerpt: The blackest of ancient cabals comes into collision with the rebirth of hope in a new science-fiction series by George Wier, the Titan of Texas Fiction: It is a thousand years after the Breakaway War and the fall of the Union on the fringe worlds of human space. While escaping from the Wardens of the Committee, John Hark finds the armored suit of the last Union Ranger, Sam O'Shea, steps inside, and is rocketed into orbit and a universe of adventure. With his new computer program friends, Pry and Bee, John returns to a hidden and ancient Ranger base orbiting his home world's twin binary star, and thus begins his true education. But the armed and armored Wardens, and especially the Watchers—the Wardens' cloaked and hooded counterparts—dominate what remains of the human worlds of the Omicron twin-star system, and they hold the reins to the yoke that keeps mankind from arising out of the ashes of their ancient downfall with the continued plunder and hoarding of all technology. The Committee has become a bloody priesthood, with its foot upon the chest of anyone who would dare rise up, and so John Hark needs help in order to beat them; help that must come from the unlikeliest of quarters—those who have been marked for death! Thus begins the adventure of a lifetime for John and his reborn contingent of Rangers, and against impossible odds. But the heart of the Committee is truly the blackest of hearts, with a startling and ancient secret with its roots in the Breakaway War itself. With not only John Hark's own home world in the crosshairs, but the future of humanity throughout the galaxy hanging in the balance, the reborn Rangers of Company C have little choice but to either win in the end or die trying, with no time for drawing lines in the sand.

Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the winery war in Reveille In Red, Bill Travis has to track down the remnants of a biker gang that tried to kill Julie and the passengers of the winery tour bus, “Lone Star Wino Express.” But while confronting one of the bikers, Dale Fluckinger, a hothead with more testosterone than common sense, Bill has to shoot the man. The following day, a sniper very nearly shoots Bill’s daughter, Jennifer, while apparently aiming at Bill while in his own driveway. Bill has to get the family to safety at Nat Bierstone’s ranch retreat before shotgunning for who is behind the failed hit. To do so, he has to take Jessica along with him and head for the outskirts of San Antonio to find Corey Pleasant, yet another loser criminal biker. With Hank Sterling running interference and an untimely and very dead body popping up, Bill has to think outside the box to outwit the mastermind of the plot to kill him. Add in a persistent Perry Reilly who only wants to help, stir for a day or two in the hot summer Texas sun, and you have a smorgasborg of brutal action and adventure as only Bill Travis can serve it. Bexar County Line is the seventeenth book in the Bill Travis Mystery series.

Book excerpt: Some believe that love is timeless, but the breadth of life is equally immeasurable, and love is merely one of its many facets, if its most important one. When John Adams and his native guide, Calo, stumble upon the greatest archaeological and anthropological find the world has ever known in the Great Gobi Desert, the anthropologist—along with Katrina Maybridge, the most beautiful archaeologist in all of Asia—is transported back in time some 45,000 years to the long dead ancient Kingdom of Umphar along the Great River Lis. There they not only have the adventure of a lifetime in their quest to finalize a peace treaty with the disingenuous ruler of the Kingdom of Mar-yar, but they also discover what they truly mean to one another.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jimmy Underwood meets Ray Bradbury, an author he has idolized for most of his adult life, he is traumatized by the encounter. The problem is that Ray Bradbury has been dead and gone for seven years, but this guy looks just like Ray, talks like Ray, writes like Ray, and even signs his name like Ray. Thus begins the stalking of a man who both is and isn't Ray Bradbury. But if he isn't, who—or what—could he be? The truth is sometimes a stone best left unturned. It's the worst problem a human being can have—how can Jimmy not get home to the truth? Because one way or the other, the truth always changes you forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkable work is a comprehensive historiographical and bibliographical survey of the most important scholarly and printed materials about the naval and maritime history of England and Great Britain from the earliest times to 1815. More than 4,000 popular, standard and official histories, important articles in journals and periodicals, anthologies, conference, symposium and seminar papers, guides, documents and doctoral theses are covered so that the emphasis is the broadest possible. But the work is far, far more than a listing. The works are all evaluated, assessed and analysed and then integrated into an historical narrative that makes the book a hugely useful reference work for student, scholar, and enthusiast alike. It is divided into twenty-one chapters which cover resource centres, significant naval writers, pre-eminent and general histories, the chronological periods from Julius Caesar through the Vikings, Tudors and Stuarts to Nelson and Bligh, major naval personalities, warships, piracy, strategy and tactics, exploration, discovery and navigation, archaeology and even naval fiction. Quite simply, no-one with an interest and enthusiasm for naval history can afford to be without this book at their side.

This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While studying the astrological birth charts of all the US presidents, I discovered that those of the thirteen modern US presidents, from Franklin Roosevelt to Barack Obama, all had the natal Sun (the planet most associated with ones basic identity) making an aspect (certain designated degrees between two planets) to their natal Neptune. This was surprising since I would have thought that politicians, particularly those aspiring to the presidency, would have an overwhelming emphasis on the Sun-Mars aspect, but not on the Sun-Neptune aspect. What I discovered in my research was that good politicians are not warriors (Sun-Mars) per se who use the techniques of warfare to muscle their way through adversity. Rather, they are good actors (Sun-Neptune) who are essentially chameleons (Sun-Neptune) operating in the foggy (Neptune) realm of subtlety (Neptune) and seduction, using their sensitivity (Neptune) and charm (Neptune) to serve their intuitive (Neptune) sides to try to achieve their goals. It became apparent that a good politician is excellent at assuming different roles in order to fit a given political situation and move his agenda forward. The Sun in aspect to Neptune is not unusual, but there is no aggregate population that has 100 percent of its members with this aspect like the modern presidents. I was intrigued with this occurrence and thus set out to research their individual biographies to see just how this aspect played out in their lives. After all, it seemed to be almost a prerequisite for being elected to the modern Oval Office.

Book excerpt: “A literary tour de force that is destined to become one of the . . . definitive works about the battle for Guadalcanal . . . [James D.] Hornfischer deftly captures the essence of the most pivotal naval campaign of the Pacific war.”—San Antonio Express-News The Battle of Guadalcanal has long been heralded as a Marine victory. Now, with his powerful portrait of the Navy’s sacrifice, James D. Hornfischer tells for the first time the full story of the men who fought in destroyers, cruisers, and battleships in the narrow, deadly waters of “Ironbottom Sound.” Here, in stunning cinematic detail, are the seven major naval actions that began in August 1942, a time when the war seemed unwinnable and America fought on a shoestring, with the outcome always in doubt. Working from new interviews with survivors, unpublished eyewitness accounts, and newly available documents, Hornfischer paints a vivid picture of the officers and enlisted men who opposed the Japanese in America’s hour of need. The first major work on this subject in almost two decades, Neptune’s Inferno does what all great battle narratives do: It tells the gripping human stories behind the momentous events and critical decisions that altered the course of history and shaped so many lives. Praise for Neptune’s Inferno “Vivid and engaging . . . extremely readable, comprehensive and thoroughly researched.”—Ronald Spector, The Wall Street Journal “Superlative storytelling . . . the masterwork on the long-neglected topic of World War II’s surface ship combat.”—Richard B. Frank, World War II “The author’s two previous World War II books . . . thrust him into the major leagues of American military history writers. Neptune’s Inferno is solid proof he deserves to be there.”—The Dallas Morning News “Outstanding . . . The author’s narrative gifts and excellent choice of detail give an almost Homeric quality to the men who met on the sea in steel titans.”—Booklist (starred review) “Brilliant . . . a compelling narrative of naval combat . . . simply superb.”—The Washington Times

Book excerpt: The year is AD 7000. The human species is extinct—for the fourth time—due to its fragile nature. Krina Alizond-114 is metahuman, descended from the robots that once served humanity. She’s on a journey to the water-world of Shin-Tethys to find her sister Ana. But her trip is interrupted when pirates capture her ship. Their leader, the enigmatic Count Rudi, suspects that there’s more to Krina’s search than meets the eye. He’s correct: Krina and Ana each possess half of the fabled Atlantis Carnet, a lost financial instrument of unbelievable value—capable of bringing down entire civilizations. Krina doesn’t know that Count Rudi suspects her motives, so she accepts his offer to get her to Shin-Tethys in exchange for an introduction to Ana. And what neither of them suspects is that a ruthless body-double assassin has stalked Krina across the galaxy, ready to take the Carnet once it is whole—and leave no witnesses alive to tell the tale…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eyewitness to profound change affecting marine environments on the Newfoundland coast, Antony Adler argues that the history of our relationship with the ocean lies as much in what we imagine as in what we discover. We have long been fascinated with the oceans, seeking “to pierce the profundity” of their depths. In studying the history of marine science, we also learn about ourselves. Neptune’s Laboratory explores the ways in which scientists, politicians, and the public have invoked ocean environments in imagining the fate of humanity and of the planet—conjuring ideal-world fantasies alongside fears of our species’ weakness and ultimate demise. Oceans gained new prominence in the public imagination in the early nineteenth century as scientists plumbed the depths and marine fisheries were industrialized. Concerns that fish stocks could be exhausted soon emerged. In Europe these fears gave rise to internationalist aspirations, as scientists sought to conduct research on an oceanwide scale and nations worked together to protect their fisheries. The internationalist program for marine research waned during World War I, only to be revived in the interwar period and again in the 1960s. During the Cold War, oceans were variously recast as battlefields, post-apocalyptic living spaces, and utopian frontiers. The ocean today has become a site of continuous observation and experiment, as probes ride the ocean currents and autonomous and remotely operated vehicles peer into the abyss. Embracing our fears, fantasies, and scientific investigations, Antony Adler tells the story of our relationship with the seas.
