Book Description
Return to New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop’s world of the Others—where supernatural entities and humans struggle to co-exist, and one woman has begun to change all the rules… After winning the trust of the Others residing in the Lakeside Courtyard, Meg Corbyn has had trouble figuring out what it means to live among them. As a human, Meg should be barely tolerated prey, but her abilities as a cassandra sangue make her something more. The appearance of two addictive drugs has sparked violence between the humans and the Others, resulting in the murder of both species in nearby cities. So when Meg has a dream about blood and black feathers in the snow, Simon Wolfgard—Lakeside’s shape-shifting leader—wonders if their blood prophet dreamed of a past attack or a future threat. As the urge to speak prophecies strikes Meg more frequently, trouble finds its way inside the Courtyard. Now, the Others and the handful of humans residing there must work together to stop the man bent on reclaiming their blood prophet—and stop the danger that threatens to destroy them all.

Book Description
From New York Times bestselling author Harry Turtledove, the modern master of alternate history, a novel of alien contact set in the tumultuous year of the Watergate scandal. It's 1974, and Jerry Stieglitz is a grad student in marine biology at UCLA with a side gig selling short stories to science fiction magazines, just weeks away from marrying his longtime fiancée. Then his life is upended by grim-faced men from three-letter agencies who want him to join a top-secret "Project Azorian" in the middle of the north Pacific Ocean—and they really don't take "no" for an answer. Further, they're offering enough money to solve all of his immediate problems. Joining up and swearing to secrecy, what he first learns is that Project Azorian is secretly trying to raise a sunken Russian submarine, while pretending to be harvesting undersea manganese nodules. But the dead Russian sub, while real, turns out to be a cover story as well. What's down on the ocean floor next to it is the thing that killed the sub: an alien spacecraft. Jerry's a scientist, a longhair, a storyteller, a dreamer. He stands out like a sore thumb on the Glomar Explorer, a ship full of CIA operatives, RAND Corporation eggheads, and roustabout divers. But it turns out that he's the one person in the North Pacific who's truly thought out all the ways that human-alien first contact might go. And meanwhile, it's still 1974 back on the mainland. Richard Nixon is drinking heavily and talking to the paintings on the White House walls. The USA is changing fast—and who knows what will happen when this story gets out? Three Miles Down is both a fresh and original take on First Contact, and a hugely enjoyable romp through the pop culture, political tumult, and conspiracies-within-conspiracies atmosphere that was 1974. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Description
In ancient times, Madusoul, an unspoken Evil Spirit was unleashed, destructively conquering mankind until captured by a consortium of African tribes. He was entombed, covered in heaps of stone, sealed forever, never to destroy again. For ages, through spiritual meditation and witchery, Madusoul, has anxiously awaited the reclaiming of his throne to wreak havoc for man-kind’s betrayal in his capture. He perfects his craft, and his wait was now over when seducing the minds of African Soldiers that arose, obsessed with power and easily transitioned. Madusoul’s powerful craft spawns a chain of events when soldiers secretly visit an undisturbed evil ruin, and selfishly unleashing his commandos and generals. Madusoul finally gets an awaken taste of freedom and stops at nothing; he requires a drop of innocent blood mingled with much tainted to fully regain his strength and power; though minute to that of the Almighty. Precursor to Madusoul’s return, his regular soldiers are spiritually weak but lye dormant in human but snap and you and see their destruction in the media, as if an epidemic! His newly released warriors; spiritually equipped for war, launch an offensive attack and strategically positions bodies for a blood bath of human sacrifices. Peradventure... Madusoul’s creator; that Old Serpent; who does not force evil but uses spiritual warfare to conquer; closely watching things we are drawn to, things we delight in or have unhealthily dabbled in. He introduces us to things un-encountered or throws us into unforeseen traps in hopes of destroying us; the enemy comes but to destroy. Madusoul’s Crossing, is simply that; a tale of greed, obsession, lust, selfishness, deception and ultimately the destruction of humanity. It’s an awakening, a crossing of spiritual paths and a series of events that kick off when a woman, deeply rooted in a Voodoo ancestry stops at nothing to win a married man’s love. In desperation, she goes underground in search of a glittery, beautiful and captivating scepter that will grant her total power over love when deceived and gives and open invitation to the Madusoul’s super powers that sends anyone in their paths, on a collision course. Well-kept secrets that are assumed to be buried in the darkest abyss, like sunken ships and treasures in Davey Jones locker are forever lost or atleast they think so. So this I say unto you... delight not in earthly follies but draw until your Deliverer; your shield. Be ye connected unto one body or be as those in Madusoul’s Crossing, terrified and questioning their spiritual being. This pulse-thumping, tight-knit plot takes you into a dimension where earthly laws, rules, policies and procedures no longer exist; leaving everyone wondering of survival. Azreay’l delivers this spine tingling; nail biting and scratching performance in this intense thriller – Madusoul’s Crossing! Enjoy!

Book Description
Keo Felker Lazarus (1913-1993) was an American writer remembered for her Young Adult novels, of which the "Gismo" series (comprised of The Gismo, The Gismonauts, and A Message from Monaal) was but a small part. She also wrote fantasy, historical, and western books and picture-books for younger readers, such as "The Billy Goat in the Chili Patch", "A Totem for Ti-Jacques", and "Rattlesnake Run." In "The Gismo," Jerry Cole finds a mysterious device -- which he calls a "gismo" for lack of a better term -- that turns out to be of alien origin. It was lost by a spaceship, and the aliens’ leader, Monaal, needs it to communicate with his people. Will Jerry be able to return it, or will the adults prevent it...and ruin our first contact with Monaal’s people? In "The Gismonauts," the action jumps farther into the future, with Jerry Cole’s grandson, Chris, encountering an alien way station set up by Monaal and his people on the moon. Monaal is still studying Earth. Can Chris keep the aliens’ secret and prove humanity is ready to join the galactic Federation? In "A Message from Monaal," the aliens have a last test for humanity, and Chris may be the only one who can prove we are ready for galactic citizenship! “The Gismo and its sequels are not well known beyond a generation of American kids who found them in their school classrooms and libraries. They were published for the educational market and were designed to be read by 4th to 8th grade readers in the 1970s and 1980s. (Am I dating myself if I admit to reading--and loving--The Gismo in school?) I don’t think any copies were sold commercially. That doesn't stop this whole series from being exciting, fun books which hold up exceptionally well to this day.” --John Gregory Betancourt
