Publisher: Big Diction Publishing LLC
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
I was officially the Peacekeeper of legend. I had mental bindings to every single beast affinity in the world to prove it. Now, if I could just find my pants… My brothers were back to thinking I had an easy lot in life. They weren't wrong. It would be a sweet gig. Sianna would be Overlord. I would be Peacekeeper. We'd have our shared love bonds. Well. Maybe. Sigh. Many beast affinities, including my ex-girlfriend, won't follow Sianna as a leader. After attacking my family, my circle, and random bystanders, it was clear the opposition didn't mind collateral damage. If they wouldn't come at us directly, we needed to unite the splintered shifter populations and force action. Could we navigate the politics and negotiations while still holding tight to what mattered? One thing was certain: I wouldn't give up the love binding again. Not for anything—even if the bindings meant a difficult leadership transition. No. If the shifters wanted a fight, they'd get one. Rise is the jaw-dropping conclusion of the Peacekeeper's Harmony series.

The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine (Movie Tie-in Edition)
Author: Michael Lewis
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393353168
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
The #1 New York Times bestseller—Now a Major Motion Picture from Paramount Pictures From the author of The Blind Side and Moneyball, The Big Short tells the story of four outsiders in the world of high-finance who predict the credit and housing bubble collapse before anyone else. The film adaptation by Adam McKay (Anchorman I and II, The Other Guys) features Academy Award® winners Christian Bale, Brad Pitt, Melissa Leo and Marisa Tomei; Academy Award® nominees Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling. When the crash of the U.S. stock market became public knowledge in the fall of 2008, it was already old news. The real crash, the silent crash, had taken place over the previous year, in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn’t shine and the SEC doesn’t dare, or bother, to tread. Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever-rising real estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? In this fitting sequel to Liar’s Poker, Michael Lewis answers that question in a narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor.
