Amidst the tranquility of her reign, there is a breed of men, warriors and pirates, knights and knaves, that engage in back-alley duels. These are the "Rogue Blades."They battle for the entertainment of the masses and the coins that they throw. The masses, bored by the peaceful reign of Arianna, crave the clashing of weapons, the ringing of swords, and the spilling of blood. Disturbed by the violent blood-sport that is staining her reign, the Queen has ordered her Royal Guard to put an end to these contests.In the dueling world, Dave the Knave, self-proclaimed Greatest Swordsman That Has Ever Lived, hears about the growing fame of Sir James the Great Knight, seconded by the faithful Squire Paul. Dave believes that they are on a collision course, headed for a battle of epic proportions. Will they meet before the Royal Guard brings an end to the street duels? Or is there something even more ominous in store for everyone?

Book Description
This is the first comprehensive volume on nearly periodic structures and mistuned blade vibration. Alok Sinha presents fundamental concepts and state-of-the-art techniques in the analysis of free and forced response of a nearly periodic structure, weaving together his own work (covering thirty-five years of research in this field) with works by other researchers. He also discusses similarities between tools used in bladed rotor analysis and condensed matter physics. Specific subjects covered include the reasons behind mode localization, the reasons behind amplitude amplification of steady-state response, state-of-the-art computational techniques for mistuned bladed rotors including multistage rotors, identification of mistuning from measured response, vibration localization in linear atomic chains, and analysis of two-dimensional periodic structures.

Book Description
Welcome to seventeenth-century Paris, where intrigue, duels, and spies are rife and Cardinal Richelieu’s men may be prevailed upon to risk life and limb in the name of France at a moment’s notice. And with war on the horizon, the defense of the nation has never been more pressing. Danger is rising from the south—an insidious plot that could end with a huge dragon-shaped shadow falling over France, a shadow cast by dragons quite unlike the pet dragonets that roam the cities like stray cats, or the tame wyverns men ride like horses, high over the Parisian rooftops. These dragons and their descendants are ancient, terrible, and powerful ... and their plans contain little room for the lives or freedom of men. Cardinal Richelieu has nowhere else to turn; Captain La Fargue and his elite group of men, the Cardinal’s Blades, must turn the tide. They must hold the deadly Black Claw cult at bay, root out traitors to the crown, rescue prisoners, and fulfill their mission for the Cardinal, for their country, but above all for themselves. It’s death or victory. And the victory has never been less certain.
