Book Description
Noir Kioko had only ever seen one human before his undercover work brought him to the diner at the Luna Terminal, and that was at a distance. Humans are rare, most of them disappear without a trace, and he hopes hanging around the restaurant will give him a lead on the smuggling ring he’s investigating. There was no way he could’ve known the human would turn out to be his mate, and no way he can let it show without putting his mate in danger and possibly jeopardising his mission. Max Welch is the proud owner of the only restaurant within a light year’s distance. He left Earth four years ago to create a better life for himself, but he hadn’t considered the possibility of scary alien pirates making his restaurant their favourite hangout spot. As a measly human there isn’t much he can do about it, but as one of the pirates starts coming by almost every day he has to come up with something before he loses all his customers. That the giant cat man is rather nice to look at changes nothing. When rumours of another human arriving at the space station start to circulate, Noir's species trafficking infiltrate and observe only mission may need a revamp. But will Noir be able to protect his mate and another one of his rare species?

Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
Blue Wednesday is a suspense-thriller about a serial killer with a unique personality disorder, and Leslie Heidenreich, the senior ranking FBI profiler called in by local police to catch him. Though initially labeled as disconnected robbery-homicides in Chicago, local detective Danny Kowalczyk recognizes a similarity in the smallest of inter-state crime scene details and contacts an old friend at the FBI for help. Its up to Heidenreich and her FBI team to build the killer's personality profile and find the homicidal pattern before the body count increases. Making an early connection to flight schedules across the U.S., Heidenreich discovers three suspects whose travel paths and common interest in Jazz/Blues, have accidentally crossed. Blue Wednesday describes the making of a not-so-random killer, and the search for the truth about his past. With a growing confidence in his ability to avoid capture, the killer believes that he can fabricate a new identity and a fresh start without any consequences to his deadly actions. The killer´s aggressive side also softens after meeting a young woman with a similar troubled past. Blue Wednesday mixes murder mystery with a cross country chase and an Internet investigation to bring the story to an unpredictable conclusion. Blended with humorous dialog and a touch of computer technology, Blue Wednesday is a casual and enjoyable read all the way through to its final pages.

FROM THE MAELSTROM
Author: Lubomir Gleiman
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1452020191
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 713
Book Description
From The Maelstrom: A Pilgrim’s Story of Dissent and Survival is, above all, the very personal memoir of a humble, but sometimes painfully intelligent and reflective man.Dr. Lubomir “Lubo” Gleiman began the memoir a few years after retiring as a Professor of Philosophy from Salve Regina university in Newport, Rhode Island. Lubo stated the original purpose of the memoir was to, “... provide my children and grandchildren a better understanding of the events that brought me from rural Slovakia to the United States. In writing the book, however, Lubo found himself imposing the critical and philosophical methods that he had developed over years as a scholar and professor. Thus, a book that was supposed to be just about events and a personal story became a deeper reflection on their meaning. Sheltered from the realities of the century and the first years of the Second World War, Lubo Gleiman and his family quickly realize that they are on the wrong side of history and begin a desperate journey shared by so many displaced people. Thus, this memoir takes the reader on a journey through events and ideas from his conscription into a strange pseudo military labor unit, to his “liberation” of sorts at the hands of the 101st Airborne, to his attempts at fomenting anti-communist insurgency, to his struggle to “get to the west”, to his immigrant experience, and finally to his fulfillment in the promising but flawed world of academic and intellectual freedom.
