Book excerpt: He may be dead but the power of a god lives on. Drake’s life will never be the same again, not after an all-powerful being took root inside his mind. Drake saw Him die with his own eyes, destroyed along with an entire planet. Then why does Drake still hear that voice in the back of his head? Valencia has her own demons to face, her bond with Emma—the Sentinel—left her to mull her own existence and crave the family she never had more than ever. Drake ran off to take care of Bruce and that new guy aboard the Trystero? What a joke. Slowing down isn’t an option, though, not when the enraged son of a fallen Gra’al warlord—the one they killed—has his sights set on the power stirring inside of Drake and exacting his revenge on the galaxy. He’ll stop at nothing to repair his shattered lineage, even if it means the destruction of both the Terran and Gra’als altogether. *** KEYWORDS: scifi, science fiction, science fiction ebooks, space opera, space opera ebooks, alien baby, starships, scifi ebooks, space opera science fiction, colonization scifi, starship aliens, scifi heroine, young adult science fiction adventure, alien baby series, space opera book 1, alien war, lgbtq scifi, young adult scifi, ya scifi, science fiction adventure ebooks, science fiction adventure, lovecraftian scifi, elder gods, elder gods scifi, metaphysical scifi

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocation to reclaim our disability lineage in order to profoundly reimagine the possibilities for our relationship to disability, kinship, and carework Disability is often described as a tragedy, a crisis, or an aberration, though 1 in 5 people worldwide have a disability. Why is this common human experience rendered exceptional? In All Our Families, disability studies scholar Jennifer Natalya Fink argues that this originates in our families. When we cut a disabled member out of the family story, disability remains a trauma as opposed to a shared and ordinary experience. This makes disability and its diagnosis traumatic and exceptional. Weaving together stories of members of her own family with sociohistorical research, Fink illustrates how the eradication of disabled people from family narratives is rooted in racist, misogynistic, and antisemitic sorting systems inherited from Nazis. By examining the rhetoric of genetic testing, she shows that a fear of disability begins before a child is even born and that a fear of disability is, fundamentally, a fear of care. Fink analyzes our racist and sexist care systems, exposing their inequities as a source of stigmatizing ableism. Inspired by queer and critical race theory, Fink calls for a lineage of disability: a reclamation of disability as a history, a culture, and an identity. Such a lineage offers a means of seeing disability in the context of a collective sense of belonging, as cause for celebration, and is a call for a radical reimagining of carework and kinship. All Our Families challenges us to re-lineate disability within the family as a means of repair toward a more inclusive and flexible structure of care and community.

For living life in the DMZ between Terran and Gra'al space, things are mostly uneventful for Drake Rose and Captain Valencia Vasquez. The discovery of an abandoned alien child aboard a derelict freighter with its crew slaughtered changes everything. The fragile peace between two proud people is about to be tested and the ancient secrets hidden within the galaxy are waiting to explode. Drake finds himself the protector of not just the child, but life itself. All while Valencia is thrust into more power and responsibility than any human has ever possessed. The crew of the Trystero are the broken heroes no one expected. It's Firefly meets The Mandalorian in this coming of age space opera series. This bundle includes: Broken Ascension Fractured Sentinel Shattered Lineage *** The Trystero Collection: Books 1 - 3 is a collection of the first three novels in the Trystero science fiction adventure series. This ebook boxed set/collection has dashes of classic space opera scope with the action and adventure modern sci-fi readers love.

Follow Drake as he discovers his place in the galaxy, along with the captain, Valencia, and her crew, as they walk the fine line between aliens and humans always on the verge of war. A semi-finalist in Hugh Howey’s SPSFC, Broken Ascension has been dazzling readers for years now, while Fractured Sentinel and Shattered Lineage expand on the galaxy, characters and dive deeper into the metaphysical and LGBTQ themes. Scott from the YouTube channel Book Invasion had this to say about Broken Ascension: “Walsh crafts some excellent action scenes and tension in a high-stakes world while jugging the yin and yang of the characters.” YouTuber Ramsey Meadows says: “So far this is my favorite of the books I have read for the SPSFC and it was a great grow up fast because he has to book.”

This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present work, Taranatha paints a miraculous picture of the great Siddhas of India their lives and the lineages which sprang from their teachings. In all, the lives of some 59 Siddhas are related some well known, others more obscure, but all linked by their various lineages and by the instructions handed down from Siddha to disciple. Taranatha’s account of these remarkable lives is especially valuable as he had as his gurus, and as the sources of these accounts, three Indians from the very traditions about which he wrote with such conviction. The lineage accounts are very important for a clear understanding of the Tantric upadesas themselves. In several places Taranatha makes quite sure that his own lineage is irrefutably established so that there is no doubt that he is a participator in the upadesas themselves, not merely a hander down of legends. The accounts were evidently passed on and, due to the special factors involved in the tantric oral tradition, we cannot but understand them as being accurate and reliable.

Book excerpt: Forming the final part of the Sanskrit Mahabharata, the Harivamsha's main business is to supply narrative details about the great god Vishnu's avatar Krishna Vasudeva, who has been a comparatively minor character in the previous parts of the Mahabharata, despite having taken centre stage in the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna is born in Mathura (some 85 miles south of present-day Delhi). As an infant he is smuggled out of Mathura for his own safety. He and his brother Baladeva grow up among cowherds in the forest, where between them they perform many miraculous deeds and kill many dangerous demons, before returning to Mathura where they kill the evil King Kamsa and his cronies. Thereafter, Krishna is the hero and unofficial leader of his people the Yadava-Vrishnis. When Mathura is besieged by enemies, Krishna leads his people to abandon the town and migrate west, founding the dazzling new city of Dvaraka by the sea. Krishna then repeatedly travels away from that base repeatedly to perform heroic deeds benefitting those in need - including his own people, his more immediate family, and the gods. After narrating the stories of Krishna, the Harivamsha ends by finishing the story of Janamejaya with which the Mahabharata began. The Harivamsha is a powerhouse of Hindu mythology and a classic of world literature. It begins by contextualising Vishnu's appearance as Krishna in several ways, in the process presenting a variety of cosmogonical, cosmological, genealogical, mythological, theological, and karmalogical materials. It then narrates Krishna's birth and adventures in detail. Presenting a wide variety of exciting stories in a poetic register that makes extensive use of natural imagery, the Harivamsha is a neglected literary gem and an ideal starting-point for readers new to Indian literature.

Book excerpt: A sinister Episcopal Bishop shows up to confirm Lottie and Josie Albright's niece at the new frame church built on the corners of four Western Kansas counties. Suddenly, the Reverend Mary Farnsworth flees to the anteroom after dropping the chalice during communion. Josie, a psychologist, lingers after the service to comfort her, but Lottie orders her sister to leave when they discover Reverend Mary's body. As Deputy Sheriff, Lottie's duty bound to attend to the death. Back at the county-wide picnic, an elderly lady informs Lottie that a man kneeling next to her scared Reverend Mary into a heart attack. Lottie soon learns that the beloved Reverend Mary was a woman without a past, and that the rogue Bishop has unexpected ties to Western Kansas. A sheriff from an adjacent county, unaware that Josie is an FBI consultant, assumes that seizing control of the investigation will be easy and instead arouses the twins' wrath. Forgetting that the past is always present, Lottie's investigation into old documents riles up murderous century-old rivalries....

You feel like something has been physically shattered, right in the middle of your chest. The whole world mirrors your sorrow and there is nowhere to hide. The anguish and disappointment of a broken heart is devastating, but Susan Piver, the author of "The Hard Questions" and "How Not to Be Afraid of Your Own Life," reveals in these pages that heartbreak's overwhelming pain also creates an opportunity for genuine spiritual transformation, enabling you to emerge on the other side stronger, softer, and capable of loving even more deeply than before.

The women are abducted from Earth and given new lives with their fated mates. Discover the instalove in this complete action and adventure boxset containing the following six sci-fi alien abduction romances: BREN’S BLESSING I enjoy my job, so when things go sideways and aliens board my lab, I try to stay positive and make sure that I just observe and stay alive. But I’m immediately grabbed and taken to their ship. It appears that I’m now the property of the alien that grabbed me. He’s big, possessive and seems to want to get to know me a lot better... MATTHIAS’S MIRACLE I wake from my abduction while being separated from my friends. Sore and groggy, I’m tied to a bed before I realize what’s going on. As the circumstances start to sink in, I fight until I hear a roar of rage. At first, my rescuer scares me as much as my captors, but when I realize he’s helping me, he becomes my new best friend... AMARI’S ADORED Before I even wake up from my abduction, I’m “rescued” from the shuttle that crashed here on their prison planet. But as I’m coming to terms with everything around me, I become a pawn in a tug-of-war between my new rescuer and a group of unhappy aliens. They’re determined to break away from their prison, taking everything of value with them… and that includes me! DEVLIN’S DARLING Aliens stole me from Earth, from everything that made my life safe. Beautiful tattoos have surfaced on my body… mating marks… marks that tie me to one of the aliens on the prison planet. I’m intrigued—and a little bit scared. The prisoner whose marks match mine, well, he’s really big, and feared by the other aliens. Will he even like me? I’m not sure what to expect, but I believe in destiny. I’m hoping he won’t turn me away. He’s all I have now. CALLIM’S CHALLENGE Abducted from Earth, contracting a deadly disease, getting matched up to an alien I’ve never met… welcome to the chaos that’s my life. Now, I’m on a spaceship traveling to Quasar to get the vaccine I need to survive and meet my future mate. I don’t believe in fate and being told my perfect match is waiting for me sounds like complete idiocy. There’s no other choice now, though. It’s either that or die a debilitating death. FOROHN’S FATED I’m dying. You’d think the worst thing that happened to me was being abducted from college by aliens. But no. The icing on the cake is I’ve contracted a debilitating disease, and I’ll be dead in the next couple of months. Unless I get the vaccine. It won’t do me any good to convince the Quasar aliens to take me home to Earth. I’d just end of giving the virus to everyone there… Don’t miss out on these fated mate alien romances guaranteed to have you wanting an Quasar alien all for yourself!

Book excerpt: The Greatest Story Ever Told Dispute over land and kingdom may lie at the heart of this story of war between cousins—the Pandavas and the Kouravas—but the Mahabharata is about conflicts of dharma. These conflicts are immense and various, singular and commonplace. Throughout the epic, characters face them with no clear indications of what is right and what is wrong; there are no absolute answers. Thus every possible human emotion features in the Mahabharata, the reason the epic continues to hold sway over our imagination. In this superb and widely acclaimed translation of the complete Mahabharata, Bibek Debroy takes us on a great journey with incredible ease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of Shakespeare's child figures in relation to their own political moment, as well as our own. Politicians are fond of saying that "children are the future." How did the child become a figure for our political hopes? Joseph Campana's book locates the source of this idea in transformations of childhood and political sovereignty during the age of Shakespeare, changes spectacularly dramatized by the playwright himself. Shakespeare's works feature far more child figures--and more politically entangled children--than other literary or theatrical works of the era. Campana delves into this rich corpus to show how children and childhood expose assumptions about the shape of an ideal polity, the nature of citizenship, the growing importance of population and demographics, and the question of what is or is not human. As our ability to imagine viable futures on our planet feels ever more limited, and as children take up legal proceedings to sue on behalf of the future, it behooves us to understand the way past child figures haunt our conversations about intergenerational justice. Shakespeare offers critical precedents for questions we still struggle to answer.

Professional assassin Gau Shesharrim wants to retire. But as his desperate colony’s best operative against the superior Terran forces, retirement is easier said than done. For six years, Terrans and Osk have fought for control of the barely habitable planet Olios 3. The Terrans should have won easily: their Expansion fleet outclasses the Osk in ships, weaponry, technology. Operatives like Gau have held the line through espionage, sabotage, and assassinations, but every failed mission brings them closer to defeat. Gau’s commanding officers are gambling his life on one more mission. If he can assassinate General Shanazkowitz, leader of the Terran forces, it might turn the tide. The bitter, war-weary Gau accepts the assignment with one hope in mind: that it will end the conflict. But what Gau discovers on the mission could be his colony’s doom. If you like thought-provoking sci-fi that moves at a thriller’s pace, you’ll love the Expansion Series. Dive into the action today!
