Book Description
Jethri Gobelyn has risen far: from despised youngest on a Terran family Loop ship to second trader on premier Liaden tradeship Elthoria under the guidance of his unlikely foster-mother Norn ven’Deelin Clan Ixin. Master Trader ven’Deelin has taught Jethri much, and she expects great things from him. Indeed, one might say she demands them. Jethri has inherited a mission from his father, a plan that will allow family Loop ships like the one he grew up on to survive the encroachment of Rostov’s Dust. In this, he’s backed by several prominent Looper families who are scheduled to meet and plan at the South Axis Trade Fair. In what seems to be a fortunate pairing of missions, Master Trader ven’Deelin sees Jethri become lead trader on his own small ship, which is scheduled to arrive at the South Axis Fair. Unfortunately, that “fortunate coincidence” may instead be a test of Jethri’s loyalties, as he’s thrust into a tangle of gray-trading, mistaken identity, misinformation, and galactic politics . . . At the publisher's request, this book is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). About Dragon in Exile: “. . . sprawling and satisfying. . . . Space opera mixes with social engineering, influenced by Regency-era manners and delicate notions of honor. . . . it’s like spending time with old friends.”—Publishers Weekly About Necessity’s Child: “Compelling and wondrous, as sharp and graceful as Damascus steel, Necessity's Child is a terrific addition to Lee & Miller's addictive series.”—Patricia Briggs About the Liaden Universe® series: “Every now and then you come across an author, or in this case, a pair, who write exactly what you want to read, the characters and personalities that make you enjoy meeting them. . . . I rarely rave on and on about stories, but I am devoted to Lee and Miller novels and stories.”—Anne McCaffrey “These authors consistently deliver stories with a rich, textured setting, intricate plotting, and vivid, interesting characters from fully-realized cultures, both human and alien, and each book gets better.”—Elizabeth Moon “. . . delightful stories of adventure and romance set in a far future . . . space opera milieu. It’s all a rather heady mix of Gordon R. Dickson, the Forsythe Saga, and Victoria Holt, with Lee and Miller’s own unique touches making it all sparkle and sizzle. Anyone whose taste runs toward SF in the true romantic tradition can’t help but like the Liaden Universe.”—Analog “. . . the many fans of the Liaden universe will welcome the latest . . . continuing young pilot Theo Waitley’s adventures.”—Booklist on Saltation “. . . aficionados of intelligent space opera will be thoroughly entertained . . . the authors’ craftsmanship is top-notch.”—Publishers Weekly on Lee and Miller’s popular Liaden Universe® thriller I Dare

The Naked Truth Unveiled
Author: C.E. Young
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 152557857X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
What are the odds... - those who preach righteousness are not right? - today's Christians are not followers of Christ? - biblical truth, as it is known today, cannot be trusted? Before the enemy's damnation to earth he held a place in heaven as the covering of God. The name given to Lucifer by God Himself, covering cherub, holds truth many believers have not heard. Insight into the reasons for Satan's fall from grace foreshadows the impending future of the Christian church. Hidden in the account of a vision, told by Ezekiel, a prophet of old, is the beginning of an untaught truth about coverings unquestionably tethered to the Christian faith. Peculiarly embedded in scripture from Genesis to Revelation, even those who lay claim to an absolute, gospel truth, will find this uncovered teaching hard to deny. Presented in simplistic format, with supporting scriptures, The Naked Truth Unveiled unleashes never heard before truths found in the Bible. Each chapter builds on the next leading to an ultimate, unmistakable revelation that will change what believers believe.
