Book Description
Dexx has his alpha back and he's using it to protect his family - all of them. Dexx is finally back with his family and now they're in the greatest danger they've ever faced. A normal man might shrivel from that - not to say he's not crying in the small, dark corners of his mind - but he's doing everything in his power to rise to the occasion. But trick after trick, trial after trial, battle after battle, he and Paige are faced with the reality that the tactics they'd used in the past to fight demons and angels don't work now. They've come up against a foe who is too big and too powerful in a way they've never fought against before. Their magickal abilities are powerless against this enemy. Dexx and his saber-toothed cat are no match against bullets. Dexx is doing everything he possibly can to protect his family, but he and Paige both are realizing that they might not be enough. What is it going to take to win? They really hope they don't have to die to find out, but if that's what it takes?

In the Eye of the Wild
Author: Nastassja Martin
Publisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 1681375850
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
After enduring a vicious bear attack in the Russian Far East's Kamchatka Peninsula, a French anthropologist undergoes a physical and spiritual transformation that forces her to confront the tenuous distinction between animal and human. In the Eye of the Wild begins with an account of the French anthropologist Nastassja Martin’s near fatal run-in with a Kamchatka bear in the mountains of Siberia. Martin’s professional interest is animism; she addresses philosophical questions about the relation of humankind to nature, and in her work she seeks to partake as fully as she can in the lives of the indigenous peoples she studies. Her violent encounter with the bear, however, brings her face-to-face with something entirely beyond her ken—the untamed, the nonhuman, the animal, the wild. In the course of that encounter something in the balance of her world shifts. A change takes place that she must somehow reckon with. Left severely mutilated, dazed with pain, Martin undergoes multiple operations in a provincial Russian hospital, while also being grilled by the secret police. Back in France, she finds herself back on the operating table, a source of new trauma. She realizes that the only thing for her to do is to return to Kamchatka. She must discover what it means to have become, as the Even people call it, medka, a person who is half human, half bear. In the Eye of the Wild is a fascinating, mind-altering book about terror, pain, endurance, and self-transformation, comparable in its intensity of perception and originality of style to J. A. Baker’s classic The Peregrine. Here Nastassja Martin takes us to the farthest limits of human being.

Book Description
It may be the twenty-fifth century, but the Marines are still looking for a few good men. The Confederation has finally disclosed the existence of Skinks, fierce aliens bent on wiping out humankind. While the rest of the universe grapples with the news, the Skink-savvy Marines of the Confederation’s Thirty-fourth Fleet Initial Strike Team (FIST) have their own worries: they’ve just learned they can’t transfer out of the unit. Who else has the skills to fight the Skinks on their home turf when the time comes? Morale isn’t improved by a report of Skinks on the uncolonized world of Ishtar—which means that FIST must turn around and head right back into the jaws of hell with no downtime. But none of that matters to Lieutenant Charlie Bass and the third platoon of Company L. They’re Marines, they’re the best, and they’ve got a job to do.
