Book Description
In a job like this, one mistake can cost you everything. As a Shadowchaser, Kira Solomon has been trained to serve the Light, dispatch the Fallen, and prevent the spread of chaos. It’s a deadly job, and Kira knows the horror of spilling innocent blood. But now she has a new role, as the Hand of Ma’at, the Egyptian Goddess of Truth and Order, and an assignment that might just redeem her. A fellow Shadowchaser has gone missing, and so has a unique artifact imbued with astonishing magic. Unless the Vessel of Nun is returned, it will cause destruction beyond anything the modern world has seen. Kira’s got a team at her back, including Khefar, a near-immortal Nubian warrior who’s already died for her once. But as complicated as her feelings for him are, they’re nothing compared to the difficulties of the task she faces.And the only way to defeat the enemy is to trust in a powershe can barely control, and put her life—and her soul—on the line.

Pages : 162
Book Description
A deadly virus returns. Not even the immune human-hybrids will be safe this time. One woman with a cure will have to decide who deserves to live. In a dark future, the Sanctuary of Americas has been running genetic experiments on humans with animal DNA to stop a deadly virus which took humanity to the brink of extinction. The result is the Chimera, a hybrid human species which are immune to the virus. The Sanctuary is using the Chimera’s DNA to find a cure for humans, but the Chimeras want their freedom and are fighting for a place in a new world order still run by the Pure humans. When the FossilFlu virus mutates, any hope of immunity is gone for both human and hybrid alike. As it spreads, everyone and everything must fight to survive. The cure to the virus is the key to power and the future face of humanity. One woman, Doctor Mercy Perching, may hold the cure to the new virus, but whose side is she on? Reviews: ‘A brisk SF novel with a richly described setting…the vivid atmosphere is the book’s greatest asset and should please SF fans.’ Kirkus ‘Weisbeck's story is sensational, offering suspense and wonder. The story is extremely well-written and creative. We have shapeshifters, werewolves, vampires, but have you really ever heard of avian hybrids or scorpion hybrids?’ Lauren Jones, ReedsyDiscovery, 5 Stars CHILDREN OF THE MIRACLE by Daniel Weisbeck is a thought-provoking, heart-palpitating dystopian adventure into the possible consequences of genetically modified human beings. IndieReader, 5 out of 5 rating ‘A writing style that instantly recalls genre-heavyweights like Orwell and Asimov…an incredibly well-executed piece of science fiction’ James W, Amazon 5 Stars ‘There were several points during my reading of Children of the Miracle, by Daniel Weisbeck, where I paused to openly hope someone will make a movie of this book. Not only was the story a terrific ride, but I think the visual effects would be fascinating.’ Jason Collins, Amazon 5 stars ‘This is such a smart, well-written SciFi/dystopian thriller—with heart! DeeDee, Amazon 5 Stars ‘Mr. Weisbeck is a master of making the science and politics of this situation seem very credible.’ Susan Alpert, Amazon 5 Stars

Caging Borders and Carceral States
Author: Robert T. Chase
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469651254
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
This volume considers the interconnection of racial oppression in the U.S. South and West, presenting thirteen case studies that explore the ways in which citizens and migrants alike have been caged, detained, deported, and incarcerated, and what these practices tell us about state building, converging and coercive legal powers, and national sovereignty. As these studies depict the institutional development and state scaffolding of overlapping carceral regimes, they also consider how prisoners and immigrants resisted such oppression and violence by drawing on the transnational politics of human rights and liberation, transcending the isolation of incarceration, detention, deportation and the boundaries of domestic law. Contributors: Dan Berger, Ethan Blue, George T. Diaz, David Hernandez, Kelly Lytle Hernandez, Pippa Holloway, Volker Janssen, Talitha L. LeFlouria, Heather McCarty, Douglas K. Miller, Vivien Miller, Donna Murch, and Keramet Ann Reiter.

The Homeplace
Author: Kevin Wolf
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1250103169
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
“Culled from the rarefied air of James Lee Burke, Greg Iles, and John Hart, Kevin Wolf has fashioned a painstakingly perfect tale of murder, angst, and the enduring power of the human spirit. If the late, great Pat Conroy had ever decided to write a mystery, this would be it.” —Jon Land “Kevin Wolf’s debut novel, The Homeplace, succeeds in every way. He has crafted a gripping, fast-paced narrative with beautifully drawn characters in an authentic and interesting small-town Colorado setting. Not only is the mystery compelling, but so are the characters. Even if there were no murders to solve, you would still want to spend time with these fascinating people whose lives echo the sparse and gorgeous landscape they inhabit and whose pasts refuse to leave them to their futures.” —Christine Carbo, author of The Wild Inside Chase Ford was the first of four generations of Ford men to leave Comanche County, Colorado. For Chase, leaving saved the best and hid the worst. But now, he has come home. His friends are right there waiting for him. And so are his enemies. Then the murder of a boy, a high school basketball star just like Chase, rocks the small town. When another death is discovered—one that also shares unsettling connections to him—law enforcement’s attention turns towards Chase, causing him to wonder just what he came home to. A suspenseful, dramatic crime novel, The Homeplace captures the stark beauty of life on the Colorado plains.

When ISIS detonates nuclear weapons in two key American strongholds, the United States plunges into chaos and the CIA scrambles to prevent a third tragedy in Without Mercy, a terrifying and topical thriller from Colonel David Hunt and R.J.
