GENERATIONS LATER, ORCS FOLLOWED. 1927 Detroit. Orcs fight Prohibition, avoid police, and labor hard for their children. All while doing their best to navigate the narrow human world. Men drive fancy Dodges and Cadillacs; orcs squeeze into fourth-hand Model Ts. Dwarves dominate the skilled trades; orcs push brooms. And behind everything, elves make it their life’s work to deny orcs have worth. To be an orc is to endure, but when the world tries to deny even that, an orc must act. And Uruk-Tai will do anything for his family. This long-demanded collection includes all the Prohibition Orcs tales—Spilled Mirovar, Final Gift, Drowned Mirovar, Witness November, Degreased Hopes, Woolen Torment, and the never before published A Debt of Meat.

Book excerpt: “ A tale so outlandish it feels real. Prohibition. Grosse Pointe elves. Automotive lords. And the orcs doing their best to make America make sense. A riotous fantasy within a fantasy. Terry Pratchett via Detroit!” --Zig Zag Claybourne, author of Afro Puffs are the Antennae of the Universe HOPE EXISTS TO BE CRUSHED The tenuous bootlegging alliance between the Tai clan and the human Sanford brought wealth to Uruk-Tai’s family. But a treacherous shadow has poisoned booze in the clan’s name. Humans have died and other humans blame Uruk, the way small men always blame orcs. But when an orcish child dies from poison draught and war erupts between clans, Uruk finds himself forced into a magic-bound partnership with a clan rival who wants him dead. As the Sun surrenders to the Longest Night, Uruk charges through the belly of 1927 Detroit to find a cowardly killer before his own family is destroyed. Is it a lone poisoner? Or have the arrogant elves decided to end their slow feud and destroy Uruk’s family? An orc endures, but endurance is not enough. By dawn, bodies frozen to the street. Perhaps Uruk’s children among them.

But they will never be Orcs. And Uruk will not let that happen.

Book Synopsis Devotion and Corrosion by : Michael Warren Lucas
Download or read book Devotion and Corrosion written by Michael Warren Lucas and published by Tilted Windmill Press. This book was released on with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High Speed Madness, with Love at the Wheel Love. The most overloaded word in our language. Love of your mate, love of pets, of parents and children and friends, all different things. We spend our last breath sharing our love. For love, we break not just the law but ourselves. Love is pure devotion, and pure corrosion. Love propels these stories. Thrillers and fantasies, science fiction and historicals. Love chained by brain implants and little old ladies who should have been left undisturbed. Love strong enough to unravel the universe, with the knowledge to do it. Minuscule love wiggling its whiskers against your cheek. Trapped children freeing themselves through love of the incomprehensible. Love of art and family and another person, the kind of love that violates museums and gnaws Semtex. Selected from a decade of the author’s work, these eleven tales affirm the power of love—at knifepoint. “Each story is Hieronymus Bosch writing a love letter to Charlie Brown’s little red-haired girl now grown and so weary she aches.” – ZZ Claybourne

Download or read book Sudo Mastery written by Michael W Lucas and published by Tilted Windmill Press. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sudo: You’re Doing It Wrong Unix-like operating systems use a rudimentary access control system: the root account can do anything, while other users are peasants with only minimal access. This worked fine in UNIX’s youth, but now that sysadmin responsibilities are spread among many people and applications, many people need a tiny slice of root’s power. Sudo lets you divide root’s monolithic power between the people who need it with accountability and auditability. Sudo Mastery will teach you to: · design a secure sudo policy · simplify policies with lists and aliases · manage shell environments · verify system integrity via intrusion detection · deploy a single sudo policy across your enterprise · manage sudo policies via LDAP · log and debug sudo · record and replay full sudo sessions · use authentication systems other than passwords Master sudo with Sudo Mastery!
Book Synopsis Letters to ed(1) by : Michael W Lucas
Download or read book Letters to ed(1) written by Michael W Lucas and published by Tilted Windmill Press. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You asked. He didn’t answer. The We Get Letters column of the FreeBSD Journal has been called “a tsunami of bile disguised as experience and erudition,” “a torment to the eye and a stain upon the soul,” and “the corroded battleship anchor that will drag an otherwise illustrious Journal to an ignominious demise.” If you ask people who aren’t the columnist, you’ll get a less luminous view. Perhaps even negative. We sincerely apologize. This collection of the first three years illustrates how rapidly Lucas abandoned any pretense of answering questions usefully—or, indeed, paying any attention whatsoever to his correspondents. It is unacceptable. What the editors conceived of as an innocent letters column quickly transcended bitterness to become elevated, even elegant enmity. Against everyone. Apologies are insufficient. In an attempt to keep these columns from teaching other articles bad habits, we have confined them in their own private volume. The publisher expects it to be presented as evidence at his inevitable competency hearings, as well as most of the civil suits. Next week’s suits, at least. "While we appreciate Mr Lucas' unique contributions to the Journal, we do feel his specific talents are not being fully utilized. Please buy his books, his hours, autographed photos, whatever so that he is otherwise engaged." – John Baldwin, FreeBSD Journal Editorial Board Chair

Join writer Michael Warren Lucas as he takes you on a trip through perilous supernatural landscapes and explores the darkness and strength of the human heart.” – Lucy Snyder, multiple Stoker-award-winning author of While The Black Stars Burn and Soft Apocalypses Contains: Wednesday’s Seagulls, Pax Canina, Opening the Eye, Breaking the Circle, and Sticky Notes.
