Book Description
As the deep sea once gave rise to pirates, so also did deep space . The crew of The Twenty-Wun Stars is one such group of opportunistic souls. This exceptional group of serendipitous scoundrels find themselves under the leadership of Captain Jake Wade. The swaggering mojo at which this man moves thru life is literally infectious. The Captain and the crew travel the galaxy, always on the lookout for their next big score, with pirate booty for all, and to keep the rum taps flowing in the mess hall. The Ballad of Iron Kelly Kelly Irene, AKA Iron Kelly, is an invaluable member of the crew of the “Pirates of the Twenty-Wun Stars”. As a soldier in the civil war on Winston Proper she was in possession of two very, oversized for her body, cybernetic war amrs. Each arm could transform into a triple barrel particle cannon that could take out a tank. She was the type of military personnel that would get her own piece on a strategic war board. This type of augmentation does not usually exist outside of war times and a war zone, and for that matter on a person of her size, but thru a turn of events she ended up part of the crew of the Twenty-Wun Stars. This is that story. Over three thousand years after the final battle over the soul mankind, between God, Satan, and Nefarious, destroys the earth, a new chapter begins. The resulting hyperspace blast from the earth’s destruction flings the last of humanity into the furthest reaches of space on their surviving starships. Over a 300 years passes before these star cast seeds of mankind reclaim the stars, and begin to find each other. The first of the new worlds to find each other and reconnect old humanity on new worlds, would eventually form The Confederation of Republic Worlds. This union would be marked with the erection of the Jara Timekeeping Tower on Jara Prime, broadcasting a synced time throughout the known universe. This is the Jara Era.

Book Description
"I wish to acquaint you with some occurrences of the present past and future." Edward Kelly - The Jerilderie Letter 1879 The story of Australia's ironclad outlaw, Ned Kelly, has been told countless times in film, book, and song. The shootout at Stringybark Creek and the infamous siege at Glenrowan are events which shaped the nation - but there is more to Ned's story, including the character defining, bareknuckle, scrap with feared bar-room brawler, Isaiah 'Wild' Wright. Ned was only sixteen when he rode into the township of Greta on a horse loaned to him by Wright. Ned had no idea the horse was stolen, but he was still arrested, beaten, and sentenced to three years hard labor. Ned can't get those years back, but he can make the horse thief pay for his deception. With honour and justice at stake, two of the hardest men of all time will come to scratch in a battle for the ages. A story of betrayal, revenge, and ultimately friendship, The Iron Fists of Ned Kelly is another rollicking tale from the author of 'King of the Outback.'

Book Description
As the deep sea once gave rise to pirates, so also did deep space . The crew of The Twenty-Wun Stars is one such group of opportunistic souls. This exceptional group of serendipitous scoundrels find themselves under the leadership of Captain Jake Wade. The swaggering mojo at which this man moves thru life is literally infectious. Skirting the law where they can, looking for their next score to make payroll and trying to keep the ship online, is always the order of the day. UNMADE Many titles have laid out the lives of the past, present and future crew of the pirate ship The Twenty-Wun Stars. All of that has brought us here, where we get the formal introduction to Jake Jaimon Wade and his ascent to captain. In the middle of another firefight from a deal gone sideways, the crew of the Twenty-Wun Stars is aided by two ladies who are from125 years in the future. In a mad scramble to escape a fight where they are outnumbered and outgunned the ship crashes out of hyperspace onto an undiscovered, isolated advanced steampunk planet. The two young ladies from the future are trying to find the woman who in their time has destroyed the CRW (Confederation of Republic Worlds), killed or enslaved billions and driven humanity to the brink of destruction. It is their hope to find her before her march down the path of war ever begins. Having reason to believe at some point she was a member of the crew of the Twenty-Wun Stars, their trek thru time has brought them on board the ship the day it crashes onto a steampunk world deeply steeped in superhero/super-villain culture. As fate would have it, the crew of the Twenty-Wun Stars fits right in with their unique array of gifts and talents. While the ship is being repaired and the two ladies search for the woman who destroys the future, run-ins with the local super powered elite up the stakes that threaten the crew, the ship, this new world and ultimately the CRW. Over three thousand years after the final battle over the soul of mankind, between God, Satan, and Nefarious, destroys the earth, a new chapter begins. The resulting hyperspace blast from the earth’s destruction flings the last of humanity into the furthest reaches of space on their surviving starships. Over 300 years passes before these star cast seeds of mankind reclaim the stars, and begin to find each other. The first of the new worlds to find each other and reconnect old humanity on new worlds, would eventually form The Confederation of Republic Worlds.

Book Description
She is known as Seeker. Spellbound by the Faerie Queen, she has abducted human children for her mistress’s pleasure for what seems like an eternity, unable to free herself from servitude and reclaim her own humanity. Seeker’s latest prey is a Merlin. Named after the legendary wizard of Camelot, Merlins are not simply those who wield magic––they are magic. Now, with the Prometheus Club’s agents and rivals from Faerie both vying for the favor of this being of limitless magic to tip the balance of power, Seeker must persuade the Merlin to join her cause—or else risk losing something even more precious and more important to her than the fate of humankind.…

Book Description
The violence that erupted at Carnegie Steel's giant Homestead mill near Pittsburgh on July 6. 1892, caused a congressional investigation and trials for treason, motivated a nearly successful assassination attempt on Frick, contributed to the defeat of President Benjamin Harrison for a second term, and changed the course of the American labor movement. "The River Ran Red" commemorates the one-hundredth anniversary of the Homestead strike of 1892. Instead of retelling the story of the strike, it recreates the events of that summer in excerpts from contemporary newspapers and magazines, reproductions of pen-and-ink sketches and photographs made on the scene, passages from the congressional investigation that resulted from the strike, first-hand accounts by observers and participants, and poems, songs, and sermons from across the country. Contributions by outstanding scholars provide the context for understanding the social and cultural aspects of the strike, as well as its violence. "The River Ran Red" is the collaboration of a team of writers, archivists, and historians, including Joseph Frazier Wall, who writes of the role of Andrew Carnegie at Homestead, and David Montgomery, who considers the significance of the Homestead Strike for the present. The book is both readable and richly illustrated. It recalls public and personal reactions to an event in our history who's reverberations can still be felt today.

Book Description
One of the most popular comic strips of the 1950s and the first to reference politics of the day, Walt Kelly's Pogo took on Joe McCarthy before the controversial senator was a blip on Edward R. Murrow's radar. The strip's satire was so biting, it was often relegated to newspaper editorial sections at a time when artists in other media were blacklisted for far less. Pogo was the vanguard of today's political comic strips, such as Doonesbury and Pearls Before Swine, and a precursor of the modern political parody of late night television. This comprehensive biography of Kelly reveals the life of a conflicted man and unravels the symbolism and word-play of his art for modern readers. There are 241 original Pogo comic strips illustrated and 13 other Kelly artworks (as well as illustrations by other cartoonists).
