Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
The final book in this exciting series by USA Today bestselling author Charlene Hartnady The Feral. Self-appointed rulers of all. Strong. Majestic. The most badass of all the species, and yet, the most vulnerable. All of his Feral brothers are falling over themselves to meet human women. They want to mate and procreate as a matter of urgency. Not him! There are more important things for Reece to worry about right now. Like keeping the queen safe from harm. She's heavy with clutch. The chicks are to be born soon. The future of his people is at stake. The Fallen are circling like vultures. Word is that Ekon plans on stealing the young as soon as they are hatched. He wants to take back the throne. Reece's focus must remain on keeping the royals safe at all costs. Even if this is to the detriment of his own happiness. Hope loves her job as an Ob-Gyn. She's considered to be one of the best in her field. Years of hard work and dedication have paid off. There's nothing better to her than delivering babies for a living. It's heart-breaking that she'll never have children of her own. It's all she's ever wanted. Recently divorced, her heart is in tatters. Her dreams seem impossible. Sad and depressed, she jumps at the chance to travel to an exotic destination, a place she never knew existed. They have an honest-to-god royal family, and they're not human. It's an exciting new start for her. Perhaps an opportunity to allow her heart to heal. The head of the royal guard takes his job so seriously that he keeps getting in her way. He's brooding and, when all is said and done, very rude and obnoxious. Hope shouldn't find him as appealing as she does. Not when men are off-limits to her, especially after what her ex pulled. Thing is, Reece isn't a man...he's a Feral. He's sexy, larger than life, and not in the least bit interested, which suits her just fine. No cheating. Contains hot, alpha males and therefore strong sexual themes/language

Cryptonomicon
Author: Neal Stephenson
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0061792578
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1172
Book Description
With this extraordinary first volume in what promises to be an epoch-making masterpiece, Neal Stephenson hacks into the secret histories of nations and the private obsessions of men, decrypting with dazzling virtuosity the forces that shaped this century. As an added bonus, the e-book edition of this New York Times bestseller includes an excerpt from Stephenson's new novel, Seveneves. In 1942, Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse—mathematical genius and young Captain in the U.S. Navy—is assigned to detachment 2702. It is an outfit so secret that only a handful of people know it exists, and some of those people have names like Churchill and Roosevelt. The mission of Waterhouse and Detachment 2702—commanded by Marine Raider Bobby Shaftoe-is to keep the Nazis ignorant of the fact that Allied Intelligence has cracked the enemy's fabled Enigma code. It is a game, a cryptographic chess match between Waterhouse and his German counterpart, translated into action by the gung-ho Shaftoe and his forces. Fast-forward to the present, where Waterhouse's crypto-hacker grandson, Randy, is attempting to create a "data haven" in Southeast Asia—a place where encrypted data can be stored and exchanged free of repression and scrutiny. As governments and multinationals attack the endeavor, Randy joins forces with Shaftoe's tough-as-nails granddaughter, Amy, to secretly salvage a sunken Nazi submarine that holds the key to keeping the dream of a data haven afloat. But soon their scheme brings to light a massive conspiracy with its roots in Detachment 2702 linked to an unbreakable Nazi code called Arethusa. And it will represent the path to unimaginable riches and a future of personal and digital liberty...or to universal totalitarianism reborn. A breathtaking tour de force, and Neal Stephenson's most accomplished and affecting work to date, Cryptonomicon is profound and prophetic, hypnotic and hyper-driven, as it leaps forward and back between World War II and the World Wide Web, hinting all the while at a dark day-after-tomorrow. It is a work of great art, thought and creative daring; the product of a truly iconoclastic imagination working with white-hot intensity.
