Book Description
A BLAST TO THE PASTArd may think he’s just gearing up for a little class trip, but the world always seems to have other plans for him. As he and his friends are riding along to their destination, a self-appointed “god” sweeps them back to ancient times—for reasons unknown. To return home, their best bet is to earn an audience with Varvatos, Ard’s past self (which is definitely a little weird). Then they find out there’s someone else in this version of history claiming to be the Demon Lord...! But if wading through this topsy-turvy mystery is the only way to get back to their era, so be it. Ard’s never been one to back down from a challenge!

Book Description
The third novel of the galaxy-spanning Sun Eater series merges the best of space opera and epic fantasy, as Hadrian Marlowe continues down a path that can only end in fire. Hadrian has been serving the Empire in military engagements against the Cielcin, the vicious alien civilization bent on humanity's destruction. After Hadrian and his Red Company achieve a great victory, a cult-like fervor builds around him. However, pressures within the Imperial government scared of his rise to prominence result in an assassination attempt, luckily thwarted. With the Empire too dangerous to stay, Hadrian and his crew leave for a massive library on a distant world. There, he finds the next key to unlocking the secrets of the Quiet: a set of coordinates for their origin planet, unnamed and now lifeless. Hadrian's true purpose in serving in the military was to aid his search of a rumored connection between the first Emperor and the Quiet, the ancient, seemingly long-dead race linked to so many of Hadrian's extraordinary experiences. Will this mysterious lost planet have the answers?

Empire of Silence

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 626
Book Description
Hadrian Marlowe, a man revered as a hero and despised as a murderer, chronicles his tale in the galaxy-spanning debut of the Sun Eater series, merging the best of space opera and epic fantasy. It was not his war. The galaxy remembers him as a hero: the man who burned every last alien Cielcin from the sky. They remember him as a monster: the devil who destroyed a sun, casually annihilating four billion human lives—even the Emperor himself—against Imperial orders. But Hadrian was not a hero. He was not a monster. He was not even a soldier. On the wrong planet, at the right time, for the best reasons, Hadrian Marlowe starts down a path that can only end in fire. He flees his father and a future as a torturer only to be left stranded on a strange, backwater world. Forced to fight as a gladiator and navigate the intrigues of a foreign planetary court, Hadrian must fight a war he did not start, for an Empire he does not love, against an enemy he will never understand.

Myth and Madness
Author: Mortimer Ostow
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
ISBN: 9781412829250
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This is a report on a nine-year study of the psychodynamics of antisemitism. Undertaken by Dr. Mortimer Ostow on behalf of the Psychoanalytic Research and Development Fund, it puts flesh and bones on the discussion of antisemitism in Sigmund Freud's 1939 classic theoretical study Moses and Monotheism. Its close adherence to case material and its application of psychoanalytic theory to historical data and cultural products yield new insights into bigotry and equity alike. By examining prejudiced patients and their myths, Dr. Ostow shows the common threads of antisemitism in a variety of national and cultural settings, even under supposed optimal conditions when antisemitism is stringently controlled. The work uses the psychiatric approach, and can be read as a study of how this area of behavioral science reveals the interplay of the individual and the group, cultural background and material opportunities.
