Book excerpt: A fun holiday in Rome beckons for scientist and Cassini CEO Lauren Hind to forget the recent nuclear debacle in Sicily. Looking forward to a new relationship with Philippe, her Chairman, her business and personal life should at last become rosy and settled. One revelation changes everything, discovering her lost adopted daughter, Charlotte and new family. But will this upheaval be a force for good or an uncontrollable disruption in her life? She must find out, confront the mistakes and reconcile her feelings and admit who she really loves. But unexpectedly, in China, the marital happiness she had sought and won is violently disrupted leading to unwanted challenges and distractions. She is forced to seriously question Amélie, her best friend, who she had always understood and trusted. Something oddly sinister unfolds leading to a set of destabilising coincidences and finally a kidnapping which even her worst nightmares couldn’t have predicted. Never before have her technical skills and resourcefulness been tested so much. Could there be a man even more evil than Luis, capable of lacerating her emotions and loyalties at a stroke? And why does she have to travel to the Arctic to find out? Many may die, the dice is thrown and she must finally make the ultimate choice and decide one way or the other. But which way does she turn? And who really loves her enough to pull her away from the deadly consequences? RHAPSODY OF FATE is the third book of the Rhapsody series, continuing the science adventures and romantic journey of Professor Lauren Hind

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was the function of the invocation of destiny in the increasingly secularized era of turn-of-the-century Vienna? By exploring this question, Stereotype and Destiny in Arthur Schnitzler's Prose offers a new psycho-sociological perspective on the narrative works of Arthur Schnitzler. While Vienna 1900 as a site of crisis has been established in the scholarship, this book focuses on the presence of forces that deny the existence of said crisis and work to contain its subversive and critical potential. Stereotype and destiny emerge in Schnitzler's prose texts as a form of these counter-critical forces. In her readings, Kolkenbrock shows that stereotype and destiny serve as an interrelated coping mechanism for a central psychological conflict of modernity: the paradoxical need to be recognized as 'normal' and 'special' at the same time. While, through the complex of "stereotype and destiny," Schnitzler's prose addresses central modern questions of identity and subjecthood, Kolkenbrock's close readings also reveal how the texts inscribe themselves aesthetically in the literary tradition of Romanticism and as such offer crucial sources for understanding Schnitzler's representations of embattled subjecthood within broader social and aesthetic traditions.

Following a serious and unsettling plant incident, she is forced into a long recovery break and plans to take off on holiday with Abby, her best friend and designer flatmate, always up for a new challenge.

Why does her past now unravel into an unexpected explosion of crazy scientific revelations and discoveries a hundred and fifty years before, which she would never have believed possible or credible? With Abby and Julian she must track down the source of past family secrecies and find out who the terrifying woman in the purple shawl really is. But will this unleash evil and powerful forces hell bent on her eternal destruction and damnation? And is Julian all he makes out to be? Mauveine is a special novel.

Book excerpt: Two women - and the workings of Time and Fate. In a time too long ago for most human memory, a god asked Mara what she most wanted. She got her wish: to protect the weak against the strong. For millennia, she has avenged that god, and her dead sisters, against anyone who uses the Rituals of Blood to become a god through mass murder. And there are few who can stand against her. A sudden shocking incident proves to Emma that the modern world is not what she thought it was, that there are demons and gods and elves and vampires. Her weapon is knowledge, and she pursues it wherever it leads her. The one thing she does not know is who she - and her ghostly lover, Caroline - are working for. RHAPSODY OF BLOOD is a four-part epic fantasy not quite like anything you've read before: a helter-skelter ride through history and legend, from Tenochitlan to Los Angeles, from Atlantis to London. It is a story of death, love and the end of worlds - and of dangerous, witty women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew McKaysmith is a Bond University-trained journalist with a lifelong interest in music. Since 2017, he has been the host of the musician themed Scars and Guitars podcast. He has amassed well over 600 interviews that have achieved a worldwide audience, and it is from these interviews, he has compiled this book series. Contained within the pages of Scars and Guitars, Volume 1, you'll discover thoughts and recollections from conversations with over 90 podcast guests. You'll read excerpts from conversations with the members of bands plying their trade under the broader banners of rock, classic rock, heavy metal, industrial, death metal, black metal, deathcore, thrash metal, punk, and reggae, featuring musicians as diverse as Michael Schenker (MSG/ Scorpions), Don Felder (Eagles), Erik Danielsson (Watain) Phil Campbell (Motörhead), Al Di Meola, Adam Darski AKA Nergal (Behemoth/ Me and That Man), George Lynch (Dokken) as well as bumper entries featuring conversations with the members of Morbid Angel, Anthrax, Megadeth, Napalm Death, Testament, Corrosion of Conformity, and Cradle of Filth, to name just a few. The value in Scars and Guitars, Volume 1, is the sense that, as a reader, you are now a part of the conversation. Andrew has a knack for allowing the person he is talking to feel at ease, which is how he obtains deep insight into their thoughts and feelings. As you read through the book's many entries, you'll feel as though you were there, an observer at the time of the conversation. Andrew invites you into this world; he wants you to feel the nervous tension he experiences approaching an interview, the special moments when a breakthrough occurs during a chat and the personal moments when he recognises that a subject is sharing something meaningful and personal. The secret to Andrew's technique is that he is an expert at helping an interview subject feel like they are no longer in an interview. His goal is to quickly move from an interview into a conversation, a so-called 'safe space' where no topic is off-limits. Scars and Guitars, Volume 1, is the type of book you'll pick up and find hard to put down. If you love rock and heavy metal, this book is undoubtedly for you, and Andrew personally invites you to share in the experience.

Book excerpt: FAE ARE DYING. WITCHES ARE LYING. SHADOWS ARE SPYING… Eglantine has never left her coven. Duskglenn stands as a sanctuary for witches’ children, but with three days until her eighteenth birthday, if Eglantine can’t prove her mastery of magic runes to her tutor, Mx. Wren, she’ll never graduate to see the outside world. But the forest holds darker threats than a failed exam, as dark shadow children watch her from the trees. Suddenly the world Eglantine knows completely changes. Strange ice magic bursts from her hands without any runes to cause it, and strikes her friend in the chest. Now the magic tutors are accusing Eglantine of being a monster she’s never heard of and threatening her life, while the shadow children turn everything - and everyone - to ash with just a touch! Eglantine must run for her life, leaving behind the only home she’s ever known in search for answers on what she is, where her strange rune-less magic really comes from, and why these shadow monsters are suddenly out for blood. Somehow it all leads back to the fae, and the mysterious magical massacres eighty years ago that turned humans and magic folk into mortal enemies. If she can escape the wrath of humans, fae, and witches long enough, she’ll find out just how many secrets Duskglenn’s been keeping. The Sallow Witch Saga is a fast paced YA fantasy adventure series full of mythical creatures, powerful fae, unique witches, and plenty of monsters and magical beings both familiar and never before seen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few ideas in Chinese discourse are as ubiquitous as ming, variously understood as “command,” “allotted lifespan,” “fate,” or “life.” In the earliest days of Chinese writing, ming was already present, invoked in divinations and etched into ancient bronzes; it has continued to inscribe itself down to the twenty-first century in literature and film. This volume assembles twelve essays by some of the most eminent scholars currently working in Chinese studies to produce the first comprehensive study in English of ming’s broad web of meanings. The essays span the history of Chinese civilization and represent disciplines as varied as religion, philosophy, anthropology, literary studies, history, and sociology. Cross-cultural comparisons between ancient Chinese views of ming and Western conceptions of moira and fatum are discussed, providing a specific point of departure for contrasting the structure of attitudes between the two civilizations. Ming is central to debates on the legitimacy of rulership and is the crucial variable in Daoist manuals for prolonging one’s life. It has preoccupied the philosopher and the poet and weighed on the minds of commoners throughout imperial China. Ming was the subject of the great critic Jin Shengtan’s last major literary work and drove the narrative of such classic novels as The Investiture of the Gods and The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Confucius, Mencius, and most other great thinkers of the classical age, as well as those in ages to come, had much to say on the subject. It has only been eschewed in contemporary Chinese philosophy, but even its effacement there has ironically turned it into a sort of absent cause.
