Book Description
The last place Christopher Jacobs, aka X, thought he'd find himself was behind bars. Ten years later, the boy he used to be is gone. In his place is the shell of a man with murder under his belt. Any emotion he once had was left under the gavel when he was given life in prison. That is until the new nurse in the infirmary joins the block. Putting your hands on a prison employee will get you the hole, but some things are worth their punishment, and something tells him Lyla will be worth more than he bargained for. Lyla Evans isn't sure about her new job at a maximum security prison, but showing uncertainty and weakness isn't an option. Taking care of murders and rapist isn't ideal, but survival is key. She's warned ahead of time about a prisoner named X, but when she's attacked, it's the dangerous X that saves her. Fraternizing with the prisoners is forbidden, but sometimes the most forbidden things are the sweetest.**WARNING** This book is NOT for the faint of heart. If you have issues reading about abuse (physical or mental) then please DO NOT read this book. 18+ for sexual content, language, and violence."HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THINGS HOLY! What on earth did Tabatha do to my heart?! She ripped it out, stomped all over it, and shoved the broken thing back in... and I loved every minute of it. I think." ~Heather, Give Me Books"I just cannot put into words how much I loved Slammer!!! Be prepared for a ride of a lifetime with X and Lyla!" ~ Kara, Give Me Books"A haunting, unconventional love story I will never forget." ~Ella James, USA TODAY bestselling author of Sloth"If you're looking for a mushy sweet romance, this is not the book for you. If you want to read something that is unlike anything else out there and that will surprise you and leave you in complete shock, then READ THIS BOOK. Without a doubt the best book I've read in a long time. It's dark, twisted, violent, but it's unique and shocking and unpredictable." ~ Author Amy McClung"I hope you're ready for the best mind fuck of your life, because this book is going to give it to you and give it good!" ~ Michele, Devilishly Delicious Book Reviews

Voyage Across the Stars
Author: David Drake
Publisher: Baen Publishing Enterprises
ISBN: 1618248421
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 661
Book Description
Two incandescent novels set in David Drake's best-selling Hammer's Slammers universe together in one volume for the first time. In Cross the Stars, Captain Don Slade has resigned from active duty with the Slammers and headed home for what he hopes will be peaceful retirement with his son and the woman he loves. And, even if he makes it through all dangers, he'll discover Tethys is not exactly ready to welcome him home with open arms. The journey home is an Odyssey of epic proportions and Don Slade is just the Ulysses to undertake it. In Voyage, Ned Slade has a heck of a name to live up to: that of his uncle Captain Don "Mad Dog" Slade of the legendary mercenary brigade, Hammer's Slammers. But Ned's life takes a turn to adventure when he crews for Lissea Doorman, a trade-ship captain who is sent by her conniving guild masters on what is supposed to be a suicide run. The crew of the good ship Swift is after an ancient alien artifact that could revolutionize star travel and Ned must become the warrior and leader that is his inheritance. Jason and the Argonauts meets gritty science fiction adventure in one of best-seller David Drake's most compelling works.

End-to-end Qos Network Design
Author: Tim Szigeti
Publisher: Cisco Press
ISBN: 9781587051760
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 776
Book Description
Best-practice QoS designs for protecting voice, video, and critical data while mitigating network denial-of-service attacks Understand the service-level requirements of voice, video, and data applications Examine strategic QoS best practices, including Scavenger-class QoS tactics for DoS/worm mitigation Learn about QoS tools and the various interdependencies and caveats of these tools that can impact design considerations Learn how to protect voice, video, and data traffic using various QoS mechanisms Evaluate design recommendations for protecting voice, video, and multiple classes of data while mitigating DoS/worm attacks for the following network infrastructure architectures: campus LAN, private WAN, MPLS VPN, and IPSec VPN Quality of Service (QoS) has already proven itself as the enabling technology for the convergence of voice, video, and data networks. As business needs evolve, so do the demands for QoS. The need to protect critical applications via QoS mechanisms in business networks has escalated over the past few years, primarily due to the increased frequency and sophistication of denial-of-service (DoS) and worm attacks. End-to-End QoS Network Design is a detailed handbook for planning and deploying QoS solutions to address current business needs. This book goes beyond discussing available QoS technologies and considers detailed design examples that illustrate where, when, and how to deploy various QoS features to provide validated and tested solutions for voice, video, and critical data over the LAN, WAN, and VPN. The book starts with a brief background of network infrastructure evolution and the subsequent need for QoS. It then goes on to cover the various QoS features and tools currently available and comments on their evolution and direction. The QoS requirements of voice, interactive and streaming video, and multiple classes of data applications are presented, along with an overview of the nature and effects of various types of DoS and worm attacks. QoS best-practice design principles are introduced to show how QoS mechanisms can be strategically deployed end-to-end to address application requirements while mitigating network attacks. The next section focuses on how these strategic design principles are applied to campus LAN QoS design. Considerations and detailed design recommendations specific to the access, distribution, and core layers of an enterprise campus network are presented. Private WAN QoS design is discussed in the following section, where WAN-specific considerations and detailed QoS designs are presented for leased-lines, Frame Relay, ATM, ATM-to-FR Service Interworking, and ISDN networks. Branch-specific designs include Cisco® SAFE recommendations for using Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR) for known-worm identification and policing. The final section covers Layer 3 VPN QoS design-for both MPLS and IPSec VPNs. As businesses are migrating to VPNs to meet their wide-area networking needs at lower costs, considerations specific to these topologies are required to be reflected in their customer-edge QoS designs. MPLS VPN QoS design is examined from both the enterprise and service provider's perspectives. Additionally, IPSec VPN QoS designs cover site-to-site and teleworker contexts. Whether you are looking for an introduction to QoS principles and practices or a QoS planning and deployment guide, this book provides you with the expert advice you need to design and implement comprehensive QoS solutions.

A Vulnerable System
Author: Andrew J. Stewart
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501759051
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
As threats to the security of information pervade the fabric of everyday life, A Vulnerable System describes how, even as the demand for information security increases, the needs of society are not being met. The result is that the confidentiality of our personal data, the integrity of our elections, and the stability of foreign relations between countries are increasingly at risk. Andrew J. Stewart convincingly shows that emergency software patches and new security products cannot provide the solution to threats such as computer hacking, viruses, software vulnerabilities, and electronic spying. Profound underlying structural problems must first be understood, confronted, and then addressed. A Vulnerable System delivers a long view of the history of information security, beginning with the creation of the first digital computers during the Cold War. From the key institutions of the so-called military industrial complex in the 1950s to Silicon Valley start-ups in the 2020s, the relentless pursuit of new technologies has come at great cost. The absence of knowledge regarding the history of information security has caused the lessons of the past to be forsaken for the novelty of the present, and has led us to be collectively unable to meet the needs of the current day. From the very beginning of the information age, claims of secure systems have been crushed by practical reality. The myriad risks to technology, Stewart reveals, cannot be addressed without first understanding how we arrived at this moment. A Vulnerable System is an enlightening and sobering history of a topic that affects crucial aspects of our lives.

When Jonah Aaron graduated from Nashvilles Academic Magnet High School, he was voted the most interesting member of the class of 1997. His classmates predicted that he would become a CIA operative and that he would be bringing the best-looking woman in the room to the tenth-year reunion. Twelve years later, Jonah is married to screenwriter Elana Grey, once known as the hottest young redhead in country music. But instead of the CIA, Jonah has become a partner in Brandenburg and Aaron Entertainment and a producer of television shows and independent films. Jonah skipped the tenth-year reunion and never even bothered to investigate when the valedictorian of his senior class was murdered shortly after graduation. But now, Jonah has two reasons to investigate the crime: he feels sorry for the victims brother and he thinks that the investigation may lead to a script for the highly rated comedic-drama police procedural, which is a cornerstone of his production company.
