A vicious Serbian gang whose profits come from fake nuclear weapons. A disgraced Russian general, with access to the real thing. A vengeful Somali warlord, with a cause for which he'd let the world burn. A jaded government agency, without the information to stop him. Only one man sees what's coming. And even he might not be able to prevent it . . . At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Description
Freedom of speech was restricted during the Revolutionary War. In the great struggle for independence, those who remained loyal to the British crown were persecuted with loss of employment, eviction from their homes, heavy taxation, confiscation of property and imprisonment. Loyalist Americans from all walks of life were branded as traitors and enemies of the people. By the end of the war, 80,000 had fled their homeland to face a dismal exile from which few would return, outcasts of a new republic based on democratic values of liberty, equality and justice.

Book Description
Their ancestors were exiled. Their crimes have not been forgotten. Palia and Ferrash are under arrest. Fresh from causing a galaxy-wide catastrophe, all they want to do is go home and put things right. But they’re stuck in a whole new galaxy, and their jailors won’t let them leave. Worse, they want to punish them for crimes committed millennia ago. Surrounded by new alien species, the two of them must discover who they can call friend and foe if they want to survive. But an ancient hive mind is set against them. Its parasites could be anywhere, control anyone. Every moment carries the threat that their jailors use one to wrest their freedom from them forever. They are not without hope. Tension has always followed in the hive mind’s wake, and the new arrivals have only stoked the fire. When that fire erupts, Ferrash is caught in the middle, his very identity at risk of being subsumed. In Palia’s attempts to help, she may have to commit the same crime that got their ancestors exiled. If they don’t stop the hive mind, it won’t just absorb Ferrash, but everyone back home as well. Will anyone be able to save them?

Book Description
This volume invites scholars of the Catholic and Protestant Reformations to incorporate recent advances in transnational and transregional history into their own field of research, as it seeks to unravel how cross-border movements shaped reformations in early modern Europe. Covering a geographical space that ranges from Scandinavia to Spain and from England to Hungary, the chapters in this volume apply a transregional perspective to a vast array of topics, such as the history of theological discussion, knowledge transfer, pastoral care, visual allegory, ecclesiastical organization, confessional relations, religious exile, and university politics. The volume starts by showing in a first part how transfer and exchange beyond territorial circumscriptions or proto-national identifications shaped many sixteenth-century reformations. The second part of this volume is devoted to the acceleration of cultural transfer that resulted from the newly-invented printing press, by translation as well as transmission of texts and images. The third and final part of this volume examines the importance of mobility and migration in causing transregional reformations. Focusing on the process of 'crossing borders' in peripheries and borderlands, all chapters contribute to the de-centering of religious reform in early modern Europe. Rather than princes and urban governments steering religion, the early modern reformations emerge as events shaped by authors and translators, publishers and booksellers, students and professors, exiles and refugees, and clergy and (female) members of religious orders crossing borders in Europe, a continent composed of fractured states and regions.
