Tragedies abound humanity¿s history, filled with grisly bloodshed, suffering, and pain. These things are part of man¿s birthright. They go in tandem with our capacity to love, to build, and to become so much more. In The Mysterious Castle, the author, Wilmer Homan Rarick, takes us into a whirlwind of possibilities, from the prospect of an atomic war, and the horrid consequences thereafter, to the ultimate frontier of space, with all its wonders and inherent risks¿and the rise of man, despite such adversities, into becoming an entity to be reckoned with because of his ingenuity, cunning, bravery, and compassion.
Coleen Deering ist Kampfpilotin der irdischen Raumflotte. In den Jahren seit der Invasion der außerirdischen K'trach hat sie mehr verloren als sie bereit ist, sich einzugestehen. Abgeschossen über Dhenem, einem entlegenen Wüstenplaneten, begegnet sie kopfüber hängend in einer Rettungskapsel ausgerechnet ihm - Lance, intergalaktischer Söldner, Alpha Warrior. Die Alpha Warrior wurden von der Raumflotte angeheuert, um die Menschen im Kampf gegen die K'trach zu unterstützen. Das heißt jedoch nicht, dass man ihnen traut. Und auch Coleen weiß nicht, was sie von diesem Mann halten soll, dessen Leben von Jugend an vom Kampf geprägt ist. Und dem eisernen Willen, zu überleben. Er macht kein Geheimnis daraus, dass er an ihr interessiert ist. Und Coleen muss sich entscheiden - ob sie ihrem Verstand vertrauen oder sich ihren Gefühlen hingeben soll...
The truth always finds a way. When you are the sole witness to a serious crime, what do you do? Do you turn a blind eye, or do you stand up for what is right and go to the authorities? But then again, what if the criminals are the authorities, and they are implicated in all areas of the judicial hierarchy? How do you keep yourself safe? Who can you trust? If you are Kiera Davidson, a legal assistant working for the DA, your gut instinct is to go to the police. Unfortunately, when the crime you’ve witnessed involves your boss, the risks are far greater. Stephen Douglas is up to his eyes in corruption and Kiera must find a way to ensure that he never finds out how much she knows. If he discovers what she has stumbled on to, Kiera realizes that she will be in grave danger. She must find a way to safeguard herself, and to make sure that Stephen doesn’t find a way of keeping her quiet; permanently.

America through Transgender Eyes provides an opportunity for readers to look at American society through the eyes of transgender people at a time when movements for and against transgender people permeate socio-political discussions throughout the nation. This book provides readers with important insights into the beauty and struggle of transgender people, identities, experiences, and relationships. As political, religious, and scientific traditions update their arguments in relation to growing recognition of transgender lives and histories, America through Transgender Eyes offers an opportunity to visualize the way such traditions appear to some of the people often left out of them. As political battles about the rights of transgender Americans grow throughout the nation, this book provides an important introduction to this population for voters, leaders, activists, and scholars seeking to make sense of the shifting gender dynamics of contemporary America.
He's not a robot. He's not a human. He's both. Liege, changed against his will into a super soldier by nanotechnology, is driven to protect humanity from the evil intent of his enemies. But the deadly focus he was wired for comes to a crashing halt when he sees her, a female who ignites in him a very human hunger, one he no longer thought himself capable of feeling. Summer Coltrane is oblivious to the powers swirling around her--light and dark, evil and good--until the veil between both worlds is ripped open and she's plunged into a terrible power play between a darkly tempting warrior and his ruthless enemies. To stay alive, she must join forces with Liege, a man who kills without remorse to save those he loves in a war no one in her world can know about.

Often examined separately, this timely volume provides a detailed exploration of the nexus between family violence and sexual offending. Recognising family and sexual violence as highly interrelated issues, it uncovers the challenges and paradoxes of addressing them as separate versus coinciding problems. What is lost and gained when we treat family violence and sexual offending according to the same framework? Light is shed on the nature and dynamics of offending; various terminology (e.g., domestic abuse, intimate partner violence, grooming, coercive control); political and policy contexts; myths and misconceptions; policing and investigative responses; children as overlooked victim-surviv...
