Book Description
This book contains artwork based on the novels published by King Tiger Books, a small printshop specializing in fantasy and science fiction where world building and imaginative settings come first. King Tiger Books started off as a dream about books where the creative world building part continued right up to the end. I have personally read over 5,000 fantasy and science fiction novels and found many of them conformed to the same pattern - 2 or 3 awesome chapters where the world was presented to the reader, exciting stuff where I could almost see the author's hand putting his chess pieces down in preparation for whatever fantasy or science fiction battles were to come. The rest of the novels were often bland, non-descript and painfully filled with conversations. Sometimes the rest of the books had the characters walking around, like in one famous novel where a little halfling-person walked all the way across a dangerous fantasy world to throw his wedding ring into a volcano. The movie adaptation was good though. King Tiger books did things differently. My brother and I worked out the plots to our books together, focusing on setting, environment and background and making sure that the entire novel was like the first 2 or 3 chapters from other novels that I loved so much. The result is a series of books that contain more world building in 1 chapter than many other books have in their entirety. Our first novel, War Machines of von Saarik, is illustrated here. I used a wonderful program called Vue 16 Esprit to bring the world of Imtrund to life, spending countless hours drawing the crystals, castles and magic swords so important to the book's plot. Penturian, our second novel, gets royal treatment here. A neat blend of science fiction and fantasy, Penturian showcased a fighter pilot named Tychon of Kalos who fought valiantly at 20,000 feet to defend his planet from fire elementals, high tech ships and greedy old gods that wouldn't die. The jets from many of our science fiction novels are here including the single seat ships that the Octopoid Empire used to explore the galaxy in Iliad 2030, an intoxicating mix of science fiction, aviation and world building. Achiliosa rampaged through the skies in that one, gunning her enemies down in battle after battle. The jets from Star Pilot - a science fiction novel about defending civilized space from an intergalactic race of merciless reptiles - are here, boldly entering battle despite overwhelming odds. So grab some coffee, sit back and look through the pictures, exploring the galaxy along with my brave fighter pilots. Or pick up the books from King Tiger Books and read about their adventures, narrow escapes and epic battles.

Book Description
“[A] scholarly overview of military technology throughout history—starting roughly in the 15th century and extending into the future . . . insightful.”—Publishers Weekly In this engaging book, Jeremy Black argues that technology neither acts as an independent variable nor operates without major limitations. This includes its capacity to obtain end results, as technology’s impact is far from simple and its pathways are by no means clear. After considering such key conceptual points, Black discusses important technological advances in weaponry and power projection from sailing warships to aircraft carriers, muskets to tanks, balloons to unmanned drones—in each case, taking into account what difference these advances made. He addresses not only firepower but also power projection and technologies of logistics, command, and control. Examining military technologies in their historical context and the present centered on the Revolution in Military Affairs and Military Transformation, Black then forecasts possible future trends. “Clear, concise, and thoughtful. An eminently readable synthesis of historical literature on technology and war.”—John France, author of Perilous Glory: The Rise of Western Military Power “An interesting, thought provoking work by a major military historian . . . whose depth and wide range of knowledge across the entire sweep of world military history is without parallel.... Those who read this book closely will be richly rewarded for it is a mine of useful information and grist for discussion.”—Spencer C. Tucker, author of The European Powers in the First World War “A most useful introduction to a very complex subject, and particularly valuable for its notes and references to other works. Provocative and vigorously argued . . . Highly recommended.”—Choice

Book Description
Having honed their piloting skills on the subsonic MiG-17 and transonic MiG-19, the Vietnamese Peoples' Air Force (VPAF) received their first examples of the legendary MiG-21 supersonic fighter in 1966. Soon thrown into combat over North Vietnam, the guided-missile equipped MiG-21 proved a deadly opponent for the USAF, Navy and Marine Corps crews striking at targets deep into communist territory. Most of the VPAF's 12+ aces scored their bulk of their kills in the MiG-21, which was then the best fighter produced by Russia's premier fast jet manufacturer, Mikoyan Gurevich. Well over 200 MiG-21s were supplied to the VPAF, and the numerous models and the schemes they wore are chronicled in great detail in this unique volume.
