Princess Grace of Earth
Author: A K Lambert
Publisher: A K Lambert
ISBN:
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
Fleeing the threat of civil war on her home world and a planetary genocide game played by an ancient and evil race, Princess Grace and her small band of refugees seek sanctuary on distant Earth. But their peaceful existence is shattered when one of her own betrays them. With Earth hanging in the balance, an unlikely hero comes forward to challenge the impossible odds. Young Adult meets Military Sci-Fi This story is a rich, warm YA story, underpinned by a complex, well-realized Military SF with intricate politics and thrilling battles. The two sides, Verceti and Trun are embroiled in a centuries-long war. Both have come to a grinding stalemate, but an unseen third force starts to tip the balance of power in the Trun's favour. In order to preserve their leadership, the Verceti mount a counterattack as a distraction covering them from fleeing. This includes the young princess, Grace. She lands on Earth where her training continues, picking up some native allies on the way. What I really enjoyed was the true villains, the Zerot. In military SF, often reasons are given for the conflict which just doesn't stand up to scrutiny. In this, it is all a game to them, which they bet on, which makes more sense than most reasons. The YA side did concern me as it's not my usual fair, however, the sheer warmth this side shows was compelling in itself, especially when juxtaposed with what you know is coming. A note, as this is a self-published book - the editing is excellent. (In fact, it is edited by the legendary Ellen Campbell, who provides a stamp of quality in her involvement) So, in conclusion - 5 stars for a brilliant first book. Compelling and Beautiful - Verified UK Amazon Customer I read this book whilst on holiday in Spain. I was looking forward to a relaxing poolside read but instead was suddenly transported to planets many light years away with evil (no… really evil) beings and to places quite close (only a few hundred miles away). Mr Lambert certainly has an imagination with a twist. There are some lovely characters that you can visualize – helped by the wonderful book cover artwork. The first book is grounded on earth (not to give the story away) and I think that this helps the reader flow into the second book (which is also brilliant). The story is compelling and beautiful and I am looking forward to book 3. An Interview with the Author Q. What makes the Zerot Infestation Series special? A. It's a mixture of things, really. It is the book I've always wanted to read. The villains behave in the same manner as the Japanese Giant Hornets (now they are nasty pieces of work). I wanted to create a unique story, which I believe this series is. You won't see "If you like so and so, you'll love this" because there is nothing else like this. My hero in the first chapter of Book 1 thinks "And what could she, a ten-year-old girl do anyway? Leave the war to the adults. "Unfortunately, as she grows up, she finds herself dragged into the forefront of the war and an unseen, colossal galactic confrontation. But the best thing this series portrays, so I'm told, is my vivid/weird imagination. (I've also managed to rewrite history in a couple of places, which is well cool!) Q. The series targets Teens & Young Adults. A. Yes and no. I was never impressed with bad language, graphical sex or violence in books, so the series is written with Teens & Young Adults in mind, with a feel-good factor. But this isn't just for kids. The Zerot, and especially Birjjikk, are despicable and their exploitations aren't shied away from. Q. Is the series complete? A. Yes. Book 6 has recently been published and I'm getting some great reviews. 1: Princess Grace of Earth 2: The Journey Home. 3: Prince Ventar of Trun 4: Planet of the Remaining 5: Prince Daviss of Nowhere 6: The Would-be Queen

Book Description
WONDER NO MORE—GET ALL THE FACTS ON DC COMICS’ FOREMOST SUPER HEROINE! She’s as beautiful as Aphrodite and as wise as Athena, stronger then Hercules and swifter than Hermes. Blessed at birth by the gods themselves, Princess Diana left an idyllic island paradise ruled by wise and brave women to bring the peace, love, and nobility of the Amazons to the tumultuous world of humankind. In January 1942, Wonder Woman took the world of comics—and its pantheon of superpowered males—by storm. Wielding her impervious silver bracelets and golden Lasso of Truth, she’s battled forces of evil from the Axis powers to a slew of super-villains worldwide, teamed up with the likes of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and the Flash, and become a high-flying feminist icon and pop-culture superstar. Now, for the first time in more than thirty years, here’s a definitive A-to-Z volume that draws together all the knowledge about the star-spangled, action-packed history of Wonder Woman. In more than 400 fact-packed pages you’ll find • the complete story of Wonder Woman’s origins, as imagined and reinterpreted by generations of comics writers—including her groundbreaking creator, William Moulton Marston • biographies of every major character in Wonder Woman’s universe, including her mother, Hippolyta; sister, Donna Troy; and mortal ally Steve Trevor—as well as such classic foes as Ares, Cheetah, Hades, and the members of Villainy Inc. • classic black-and-white comic book artwork throughout • two sixteen-page full-color artwork inserts—plus a dazzling original cover illustration by fan-favorite artist Adam Hughes Written by veteran Wonder Woman artist and writer Phil Jimenez and comics historian John Wells, The Essential Wonder Woman Encyclopedia is the ultimate archive, proving that die-hard devotees of the gorgeous go-to goddess don’t have to visit Paradise Island for a taste of heaven on earth.

Planet of the Ants: The Hidden Worlds and Extraordinary Lives of Earth's Tiny Conquerors
Author: Susanne Foitzik
Publisher: The Experiment, LLC
ISBN: 1615197133
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
“Beautifully illustrated with color photographs, the book offers a view into parallels between seemingly out-of-this-world ant societies and our own, including cities, an intense work ethic, division of labor, intragroup cooperation combined with genocidal outgroup warfare, even a kind of to-the-death national loyalty. The authors’ scientific rigor is matched by their joy in their subjects.”—The Wall Street Journal Shortlisted for the 2022 Helen and Kurt Wolff Translator’s Prize This sweeping portrait of the world’s uncontested six-legged conquerors will open your eyes to the secret societies thriving right beneath your feet—and shift your perspective on humanity. The closer you get to ants, the more human they look. Ants build megacities, tend gardens, wage wars, and farm livestock. Ants have flourished since the age of the dinosaurs. There are one million ants for every one of us. Engineered by nature to fulfill their particular roles, ants flawlessly perform a complex symphony of tasks to sustain their colony—seemingly without a conductor—from fearsome army ants, who stage twelve-hour hunting raids where they devour thousands, to gentle leafcutters cooperatively gardening in their peaceful underground kingdoms. Acclaimed biologist Susanne Foitzik has traveled the globe to study these master architects of Earth. Joined by journalist Olaf Fritsche, Foitzik invites readers deep into her world in both the field and the lab. Exploring these insects’ tiny yet incredible lives will inspire new respect for ants as a global superpower. Publisher’s note: Planet of the Ants was previously published in hardcover as Empire of Ants.

Muslim Communities in North America
Author: Yvonne Yazbeck Haddad
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780791420195
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 580
Book Description
This book provides a look at Muslim life and institutions forming in North America. It considers the range of Islamic life in North America with its different racial-ethnic and cultural identities, customs, and religious orientations. Issues of acculturation, ethnicity, orthodoxy, and the changing roles of women are brought into focus. The authors provide insight into the lives of recent immigrants who are asking what is Islamically appropriate in a non-Muslim environment. Contrasts are drawn between Sunni and Shi'i groups, and attention is given to the activities of some Sufi organizations. The growing Islamic community among African-American Muslims is examined, including the followers of Warith Deen Muhammed and the sectarians identified with black power, such as the Nation of Islam, Darul Islam, and the Five Percenters. The authors document the challenges and issues that American Muslims face, such as prejudice and racism; pressure from overseas Muslims; dress and education; the influence of Islamic revivalism on the development of the community in this country; and the maintenance of Muslim identity amidst the pressure for assimilation.
