Justin Imperiale finds that there are those who are growing and storing illegal weed in Zaya and not paying Justin his taxes. He investigates and then sets up a plan to raid a main weed storehouse in Zaya. The raid of the weed warehouse goes well and Justin gains weed, money and more weed from a truck delivering the stuff to the warehouse. Justin then leads a small scale military expedition into the area where some of the locals are growing illegal weed. Justin and his men then seize all the property of the weed growing drug lords, for non-payment of taxes. He finds that there's to be a major drug shipment up from the South of Zaya and through the territories of the few warlords who still control parts of Zaya.

There's a considerable flap about stolen trains.Justin flim flams the President of the Association of Nations and lets the President know that there will probably be trouble in Golomon. The trouble will involve Justin's Voya people and Justin will intervene.Justin then asks the Association of Nations to expel Golomon, after he proves that the train in carrying drugs. Of course, Justin knows that the Association of Nations won't expel Golomon, but that the discovery of drug smuggling will make further Golomon invasion of Zaya totally impractical politically.A patrol boat arrives from out of space, piloted by a single, very beautiful woman. The woman is interrogated by Head Priests of the Temples of Averon and found to be very dangerous trap for Justin.

Book Description
Lucy Corin's "eye popping, enlightening read" (Publishers Weekly), now in paperback. At the heart of Lucy Corin’s dazzling collection are one hundred apocalypses: visions of loss and destruction, vexation and crisis, revelation and revolution, sometimes only a few lines long. In these haunting and wickedly funny stories, an apocalypse might come in the form of the end of a relationship or the end of the world, but they all expose the tricky landscape of our longing for a clean slate. In three longer stories, contemporary American life is playfully, if disturbingly, distorted: the rite of passage for adolescent girls involves choosing the madman who will accompany them into adulthood; California burns to the ground while, on the east coast, life carries on; and a soldier returns home broke from war to encounter a witch who extends a dangerous offer. At once mournful and explosively energetic, One Hundred Apocalypses and Other Apocalypses is "deeply rooted in the politics and upheaval of our times" (Lambda Literary).

Book Description
Their scent is on the wind. Their blood is in the tides. They are coming. Wrongly accused of treason, Corin has been imprisoned by the very city he fought to save. With his brother murdered, his family disgraced, and the demon storm surging ever closer across the plains, Corin must place his faith in two unfamiliar guards who claim to be able to smuggle him to the outlands. But time is growing short, and the storm is drawing near. Having salvaged the ancient armor from the very jaws of Naraka, Olenka and her crew have returned to Lunsod sa Dagat. Unable to deny her prophetic visions any longer, Olenka has grudgingly agreed to confront the monks. Now, she has been whisked back into the life of rites and relics she abandoned in her youth. And she has foreseen a new calamity rising up from the abyss. With nothing left to hold back the coming blight, Corin and Olenka must race to find the strength to defend their people. Three hundred years after the ancient hero first repulsed the demon armies, can they too learn what it takes to bear the light? Or will they be proven weak and tainted vessels? What readers are saying about Tainted Vessels: "Beautiful characters, excellent worldbuilding. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a creature feature. There are no humans!

His world building is quite outstanding." — Bookbub Reviewer "Benjamin Schwarting continues his engaging coming of age fantasy! ...The dual POV works great, the races are interesting, characters well developed, and the plot moves at a good pace. I look forward to book 3 in the Sum of Ages series!" — Nemesis Reviews on Goodreads "I enjoyed the first book (Fated Blight) and anxiously awaited this sequel...This coming-of-age fantasy is about more than complex societies, different cultures, and deep friendships. Family ties, concern for one’s fellow man, loyalty, and thinking creatively to solve problems...Can’t wait for more of this" — Amazon Reviewer

Book Description
In a world of devastation and slavery, two men must find the courage to overcome the pain of their pasts and fight for what they believe in&–or fall, forever lost, to the ravages of war. Biochemical war has devastated the landscape. Societies have fallen to territorial battles and new laws have arisen, of which leaders were made by blood and force, and slavery was condoned. Markus is a man who has lost everything. Cold and precise, he rules his territory with an iron fist. Nothing could break through his barrier of control. Until he meets a boy who challenges his emotional restraint. Corin, born from rape and forced to work as a pleasure slave, has suffered through pain and degradation for as long as he can remember. His will to live has been all but destroyed by the hatred and abuse of his parents. Yet, he survives on the love of his sisters and the hope for a better life. That hope is nearly ended, however, when his parents sell him to Markus. Now in the hands of the most feared man in the territory, he must find a way back to his sisters. But that path is not so easily taken. Under Markus' control, he learns that being a slave is not about losing oneself, and that having a Master to show him the seduction of submission might be something he'd been searching for all along. As the seeds of love grow unexpectedly between them, a war brews on the horizon. Can Corin trust that Markus would do anything to keep him and his sisters safe, or will he deny that which his heart cries out for?
