Author: William C. Dietz
Publisher: Simon and Schuster

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
One marine squad, led by young upstart Jim Raynor and giant Tychus Findlay, are prepared to battle a corrupt government as it works for interplanetary domination in this action-packed thriller set in the StarCraft universe. For the poor, hardworking citizens of the Confederacy’s fringe worlds, the Guild Wars have exacted a huge toll. Swayed by the promise of financial rewards, a new batch of recruits joins the fight alongside a slew of mysteriously docile criminals—and a few dubious military leaders. Eighteen-year-old Jim Raynor, full of testosterone and eager to make things right at home, ships off to boot camp, but he soon discovers that the official mission is not what he’s really fighting for. For the first time ever, StarCraft enthusiasts will learn the origins of the enduring friendship between Jim Raynor and the streetwise soldier Tychus Findlay. Watch as they battle on the front lines of a fierce interplanetary war and bear witness to the Confederacy’s rank corruption—corruption so reprehensible that it rains immeasurable death and destruction upon the government’s own people.

The Devil's Dominion
Author: Richard Godbeer
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521466707
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
The Devil's Dominion examines the use of folk magic by ordinary men and women in early New England. The book describes in vivid detail the magical techniques used by settlers and the assumptions which underlaid them. Godbeer argues that layfolk were generally far less consistent in their beliefs and actions than their ministers would have liked; even church members sometimes turned to magic. The Devil's Dominion reveals that the relationship between magical and religious belief was complex and ambivalent: some members of the community rejected magic altogether, but others did not. Godbeer argues that the controversy surrounding astrological prediction in early New England paralleled clerical condemnation of magical practice, and that the different perspectives on witchcraft engendered by magical tradition and Puritan doctrine often caused confusion and disagreement when New Englanders sought legal punishment of witches.

The Devils of Cardona
Author: Matthew Carr
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 110198273X
Category : Clergy
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
"A thrilling quest for justice... [A] novel that is as exciting as it is enlightening from its first pages to its satisfying end." --The New York Times Book Review "A page-turner in the proper sense... Mr. Carr has written a gripping and enjoyable novel." --The Wall Street Journal The gripping story of the dangerous high-stakes worlds of politics and religion in sixteenth-century Spain as a mysterious Muslim killer retaliates against the Catholic Church. In March 1584, the priest of Belamar de la Sierra, a small town in Aragon near the French border, is murdered in his own church. Most of the town's inhabitants are Moriscos, former Muslims who converted to Catholicism. Anxious to avert a violent backlash on the eve of a royal visit, an adviser to King Philip II appoints local magistrate Bernardo de Mendoza to investigate. A soldier and humanist, Mendoza doesn't always live up to the moral standards expected of court officials, but he has a reputation for incorruptibility. From the beginning, Mendoza finds almost universal hatred for the priest. And it isn't long before he's drawn into a complex and dangerous world in which greed, fanaticism, and state policy overlap. And as the killings continue, Mendoza's investigation is overshadowed by the real prospect of an ethnic and religious civil war. By turns an involving historical thriller and a novel with parallels to our own time, The Devils of Cardona is an unexpected and compelling read.

Fermans Devals
Author: Joe Clifford Faust
Publisher: Jabberwocky Literary Agency, Inc.
ISBN: 1625677499
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 814
Book Description
Ignored on publication in the US and revered in Russia, Joe Clifford Faust's novels Ferman's Devils and Boddekker's Demons were a vision of advertising gone mad - decades before Don Draper and his cigarettes made the scene. Now the novels appear as Faust originally intended - in a single volume that keeps the story's impact between a single set of covers. In Fermans Devals you'll meet a 28 year-old copywriting prodigy who has almost everything he wants – except for a house and the most desirable woman at his advertising agency. The answer to his problems comes in the form of a street gang that he puts in a TV commercial. But everything has its price. Soon the gang is big as The Beatles - only The Beatles didn't leave a trail of dead bodies in their wake. This new presentation of the story also includes an introduction by the author, along with a bonus novelette that also takes place in the Pembroke Hall universe. REVIEWS FOR FERMAN'S DEVILS “A superior entertainment... [Ferman's Devils] may well turn out to be one of the funniest SF satires of recent years, as well as one of the most intelligently plotted and convincingly detailed.” - Locus “Diabolically delightful. A struggling Everyman with a Chandleresque wit, Boddekker makes a winning protagonist... fiendishly good.” - Starlog “A hilarious journey into the advertising world of the not-too-distant future.” - Fantasy And Science Fiction REVIEWS FOR BODDEKKER'S DEMONS “Fulfills the promise of Ferman's Devils, and the whole Boddekker saga can now take its place as the most important advertising satire since The Space Merchants... a mean piece of work, and it’s a delicious meanness.” - Locus "Boddekker's Demons makes for very light and enjoyable reading." - SF Site Reviews "Diabolically delightful. A struggling Everyman with a Chandleresque wit, Boddekker makes a winning protagonist... fiendishly good." – Starlog
