The Battle for Syria
An unprecedented analysis of the crucial but underexplored roles the United States and other nations have played in shaping Syria’s ongoing civil war “One of the best informed and non-partisan accounts of the Syrian tragedy yet published.”—Patrick Cockburn, Independent Syria’s brutal, long-lasting civil war is widely viewed as a domestic contest that began in 2011 and only later drew foreign nations into the fray. But in this book Christopher Phillips shows the crucial roles that were played by the United States, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Qatar in Syria’s war right from the start. Phillips untangles the international influences on the tragic conflict and illuminates the West’s strategy against ISIS, the decline of U.S. power in the region, and much more. Originally published in 2016, the book has been updated with two new chapters.

Into this colourless decay comes Mercedes Ice, Crown Prince of Shadow Point, with an impossible demand: colour.
FEAR Spaceport
The void doesn't feel, love, or hate. Nothing lives there, and everything that meets its end within it does not decay. Never. It is barren, cold, dark, and eternal. It is the vacuum, the oblivion, where stars, planets, and the F34-R Station, known as FEAR, float — a dilapidated spaceport, a home for outcasts and criminals, a place without hope. There, the young ex-convict Philip will encounter a new and strange chance to start over. One that will lead him to the beginning of everything, the foundation of every life and death: fear. If the word made from clay the creature, from darkness the light, and from the formless void an entire universe, fear will corrupt, deform, and cast humanity into the eternal darkness of outer space. For from nothing one came, and to fear they shall return.
