Outlaw Choppers -ECS
Author: Mike Seate
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781610591447
Category : Motorcycles
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Choppers, originally the favored rides of outlaw bikers, represent the pinnacle of today's motorcycling chic. Choppers designed by top builders routinely command six-figure prices. Once relegated to the scrap heap of pop-culture history along with wide lapels, mutton-chop sideburns, and macram\233 vests, the chopper has returned to the cultural forefront. Today's choppers, rigid-framed, 125-horsepower steeds thrusting their extended forks down America's public highways, violate our sensibilities with their sheer outrageousness. Outlaw Choppers tells the story of these wild machines, where they came from, what's going on today, and where they're going in the future.

Savage's Recruit
Author: Loki Renard
Publisher: Blushing Publications
ISBN: 1609688910
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
Take one pretty brat with a defiant streak a mile wide, add a strict military man with a mission to achieve, throw in a handful of missile owning terrorists and what you have is a recipe for a hot bottomed, hard handed romantic spanking thriller. Being gifted ain't easy. At thirty two, chronic singleton Zora Matthews is quite content with a life of frequent drinks and occasional employment. At least, she thinks she is, in between hangovers and job terminations. Older, wiser Captain Brett Savage is a serious man with a serious problem. A Bulgarian terrorist cell has a nuclear missile in their possession and it's up to his unit to neutralize the threat. But this is no ordinary mission. To deactivate the missile, they're going to need someone in the room. Someone with a mind like a machine. The discovery of a little known civilian mathematical genius with just the skill set needed to get the job done gives Savage hope, but when he attempts to retrieve his newest recruit he discovers that Zora isn't your typical nerd. She's used to a life of hard partying and even harder rebellion - and she's none too receptive to the domineering man who walks into her life and tells her he'll be taking over.

Book Description
King's Tribe is book 3 and the finale of the Rossi Family Mafia trilogy! BY THE TIME ALL THIS IS OVER, SHE'LL HAVE MY BABY IN HER BELLY. She was the star dancer at a sh*thole strip joint with plans for something grander. I was an ex-con trying as hard as possible to stay out of the spotlight. None of this should have ever happened. But she pushed too far, and I had to punish her… The only trouble is, she liked it. On the run from the law, I've got to find work where I can, even if it's bouncing at this trashy club. I should be keeping a low profile, but Christy has other ideas. The platinum blonde dancer is a thunderstorm of ambition and ego. She thinks she can shake that pretty ass and I'll help her with whatever she needs. But she's wrong. The only needs I'm satisfying are carnal. The problem is, when I bend that gorgeous body over, I lose control… And my past catches up with me. The old boys from the neighborhood aren't keen on letting me disappear. They've found me at my most vulnerable, and they aren't the type of guys to let me live my life in peace. Especially not when a shadowy mob boss is guiding their every move. I should drop everything and run. But Christy's got me hooked. I want her body. I crave her taste. And I promise you this: come hell or high water, I'm going to make her mine… In the most permanent way I know how – By putting my baby inside of her.

The Thirty Years War
Author: Peter H. Wilson
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 067424625X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1038
Book Description
A deadly continental struggle, the Thirty Years War devastated seventeenth-century Europe, killing nearly a quarter of all Germans and laying waste to towns and countryside alike. Peter Wilson offers the first new history in a generation of a horrifying conflict that transformed the map of the modern world. When defiant Bohemians tossed the Habsburg emperor’s envoys from the castle windows in Prague in 1618, the Holy Roman Empire struck back with a vengeance. Bohemia was ravaged by mercenary troops in the first battle of a conflagration that would engulf Europe from Spain to Sweden. The sweeping narrative encompasses dramatic events and unforgettable individuals—the sack of Magdeburg; the Dutch revolt; the Swedish militant king Gustavus Adolphus; the imperial generals, opportunistic Wallenstein and pious Tilly; and crafty diplomat Cardinal Richelieu. In a major reassessment, Wilson argues that religion was not the catalyst, but one element in a lethal stew of political, social, and dynastic forces that fed the conflict. By war’s end a recognizably modern Europe had been created, but at what price? The Thirty Years War condemned the Germans to two centuries of internal division and international impotence and became a benchmark of brutality for centuries. As late as the 1960s, Germans placed it ahead of both world wars and the Black Death as their country’s greatest disaster. An understanding of the Thirty Years War is essential to comprehending modern European history. Wilson’s masterful book will stand as the definitive account of this epic conflict. For a map of Central Europe in 1618, referenced on page XVI, please visit this book’s page on the Harvard University Press website.

Savage Gods, Silver Ghosts
Author: Ehor Boyanowsky
Publisher: D & M Publishers
ISBN: 1926706919
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
They met at a poetry reading, but Ehor Boyanowsky and British Poet Laureate Ted Hughes became friends through their shared — and unquenchable — passion for fishing. Against the backdrop of the Dean River, one of the greatest steelhead rivers in the world, the two men explored their mutual regard for the planet's wild places. Boyanowsky draws on personal correspondence, interviews, and journal entries to recreate their encounters in the 1980s and '90s, when Hughes was at the height of his power and influence, and to paint an intimate portrait of a lifelong outdoorsman, conservationist, and artist. The book also goes behind the creative process as fishing logs transmute into poetry, talk becomes action, and the queen's bard composes impromptu bawdy verse on the drive to a stag party. Boyanowsky realizes he's been privileged to see a Hughes who is different from the public persona. In these tales of male friendship and the primal act of fly fishing, the reader gets glimpses of the "nature red in tooth and claw" that drew Ted Hughes to Canada — and rekindled his love of the natural world.

Star Bright
Author: A.F. Carcirieri,
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662441177
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 814
Book Description
When observing the morning or evening star, Planet Venus, modern-day people recognize it as a lifeless, brightly glowing rock in the sky where no one can go because its atmosphere is far too inhospitable. Yet from ancient times all the way up to the not-too-distant past, it was regarded by some people as the embodiment of supernatural beings who observed them right back. Believing it to be an object of worship in whom one could seek solution to problems and an overseer in the sky who cast judgment over human behavior, in the past Planet Venus was perceived quite differently than it is today. In representation of what the world was like before the true nature of Planet Venus was revealed, Star Bright delves into the inevitable conflicts between spiritualism and the realities of human nature. Adhering to the mythological comportment of deific entities, historical detail, and the societal norms of subject periods and places as well as possible, the sixteen separate stories comprising Star Bright shine light on the human ground game that played out as a result of the mystical significance placed upon the second planet from the sun. Among the many characters in the novel is an ambitious young woman of the Sumer civilization and her extraordinary companion, a fatalistic Israelite king leading an army off to war, and a spoiled rotten countess of the French Bourbon Dynasty who harbors delusions of godhood, just to name a few. From the very earliest establishment of civilization, Planet Venus continues to exact its influence over humankind.
