Book Description
A former prison planet is no place for a soft heart. Perrigaul’s a survivor. He’s also a thief, a con artist, and very occasionally a murderer. What he is not is a nanny, yet here he is stuck with an impossibly tempting human female. Miriam is soft and kindhearted and completely unsuitable for this outlaw planet. How can Perrigal keep her safe from the worst the planet has to offer? How can he keep her safe from him? Alien's Heart is a fast-paced romance with banter, backstabbing and a Happily Ever After. It follows events in Alien's Challenge but can be read on it's own.
Alien Hearts
Author: Guy de Maupassant
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1590174399
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Alien Hearts was the last book that Guy de Maupassant finished before his death at the early age of forty-three. It is the most original and psychologically penetrating of his several novels, and the one in which he attains a truly tragic perception of the wounded human heart. André Mariolle is a rich, handsome, gifted young man who cannot settle on what to do with himself. Madame de Burne, a glacially dazzling beauty, wants Mariolle to attend her exclusive salon for artists, composers, writers, and other intellectuals. At first Mariolle keeps his distance, but then he hits on the solution to all his problems: caring for nothing in particular, he will devote himself to being in love; Madame de Burne will be his everything. Soon lover and beloved are equally lost within a hall of mirrors of their common devising. Richard Howard’s new English translation of this complex and brooding novel—the first in more than a hundred years—reveals the final, unexpected flowering of a great French realist’s art.

Alien Heart
Author: Lyall Powers
Publisher: Univ. of Manitoba Press
ISBN: 0887553117
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 599
Book Description
Today, almost two decades after her death, Margaret Laurence remains one of Canada's best-known and most beloved writers. Twice winner of the Governor General's Award for fiction, she was, as the late William French wrote, "more profoundly admired than any other Canadian novelist of her generation." Lyall Powers is both a respected scholar of literature and a lifelong friend of Laurence's, having met her when they were students together at Winnipeg's United College in the 1940s. Alien Heart is the first full-length biography of Margaret that combines personal knowledge and insights about Laurence with a study of her work, which often paralleled the events and concerns in her own life. Drawing on letters, personal correspondence, journals, and interviews, Lyall Powers discusses the struggles and triumphs Laurence experienced in her efforts to understand herself in the roles of writer, wife, mother, and public figure. He portrays a deeply compassionate and courageous woman, who yet felt troubled by conflicting demands. While Laurence's work is not directly autobiographical, Powers illustrates how her writing expressed many of the same dilemmas, and how the resolution her characters achieved in the novels and stories had an impact on Laurence's own life. Powers provides an in-depth analysis of all Laurence's work, including the early African essays, fiction, and translations, and her books for children, as well as the beloved Manawaka fiction. The study clearly shows the progression and expression of Laurence as a writer of great humanity and conscience.

Alien Abduction in the Cinema
Author: Paul Meehan
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476649219
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
The alien abduction phenomenon is one of the enduring enigmas of our time. While the reality of alien abductions is a hotly debated topic among UFO researchers, scientists, skeptics and true believers alike, the phenomenon indisputably exists as an artifact of popular culture. This book analyzes more than 75 films that draw their inspiration from allegedly fact-based accounts of alien contact, from 1951's The Man from Planet X to Contactee in 2021. These films are examined in terms of both their cinematic qualities and their exploration of thematic elements derived from abduction reports. Abduction motifs that appear in science fiction classics such as The Day the Earth Stood Still, 2001 and Close Encounters are analyzed, as well as those in lesser-known films like The Stranger Within, Starship Invasions, Dark Skies and Proximity. Special attention is given to movies based on the famed experiences of abductees Betty and Barney Hill, Whitley Strieber and Travis Walton. The book also addresses skeptical theories about the origins of the phenomenon in science fiction and examines an uncanny prescience that appears to anticipate these inexplicable occurrences.

Category : Fiction

Pages : 212
Book Description
Being abducted by aliens was the best thing to ever happen to Carla. She was failing at being an adult: no job, no love life, and on the brink of eviction. But her luck changed the night the aliens snatched her. Now she’s on an outlaw planet filled with the worst people the universe has to offer. Is it tough? Absolutely, but Carla isn’t merely surviving. She’s thriving. She has a nice little con going. While she plays the weak and frightened human, her partner in crime robs the marks. Simple. Easy. Profitable. Until that gargoyle got involved. Ari fancies himself some type of do-gooder, swooping in to rescue her when she’s doing just fine, thanks. So what if he’s charming and good looking for a guy with skin that can turn to stone? Not to mention the pair of wings he’s sporting or the crown of horns that makes her wonder what it’d be like to grab, yank him down to look him right in the eyes and kiss him… Nope. She’s not attracted to him. Be quiet. One wrong roll of the dice and a job goes wrong. Now she’s stuck with the infuriatingly cocky gargoyle. If this rock-headed alien thinks she’ll make this easy, well, his luck just ran out. Alien's Luck is a stand alone adventure in on an outlaw planet with an HEA and no cheating.
