Book Description
Life as a freelancer is hard. Doubly so when your job is kicking ass, taking names, and saving innocent lives from horrifying monsters. It's been a month since Mazik, Gavi, and Raedren-disaffected wage slaves turned magick-slinging adventurers-put a stop to the Cult of Amougourest and saved the city of Houk. You would think slaying a living god would be enough to make their new careers easy, with accolades all around and quests coming in without end. You would, of course, be wrong. The guilds are rejecting them. Quest givers won't listen to them. Their newfound fame is soon forgotten. If they're going to get their careers off the ground, they're going to have to work hard-and there are no big, flashy quests to help them this time. From a high-stakes tournament and an orck invasion to a worker's revolt and a mystery in a hidden village, follow these three friends as they travel across the continent, saving lives, vanquishing villains, and building their professional reputations. Not all adventures are glamorous, but it's the small jobs upon which a freelancing life is built. FREELANCE HEROICS is the sequel to WAGE SLAVE REBELLION, and Book 2 in the exciting FIRESIGN series. It's medieval sword & sorcery meets urban high fantasy, in a series of adventures about making your own way in the world, never giving up, and searching for true love as only a hopeless romantic can. WHO SHOULDN'T READ THIS BOOK: Anyone who doesn't enjoy stories with drinking, cussing, fighting, or killing likely won't enjoy this book. The main characters are adults, and they live in a dangerous world; they act accordingly. Anyone who prefers their books serious or grimdark may be disappointed. This book has adult themes and situations, but above all else it's intended to be fun. If that doesn't sound like something you would enjoy, this book may not be for you. WHO SHOULD READ THIS BOOK: Anyone looking for an action-packed, fun-filled fantasy adventure. If you enjoy friendly banter, thrilling heroics, and tons of explosions, this book is for you. If you like stories with a certain lightness of tone which eschew angst in favor of punching problems in the face, this book is definitely for you. And if you like big, exciting fantasy series with rising stakes and beloved characters you can revisit time and time again, make sure you've read WAGE SLAVE REBELLION and then dive right in. Want behind-the-scenes info, sneak peeks, and to be the first to learn about sequel announcements? Sign up for the author's email list at www.stephenwgee.com. You'll get a free prequel short story when you sign up.

Book Description
It may not be healthy, or particularly tasty, but it’s reasonably affordable and Earthlings LOVE it! Tanny and Esper’s rebel syndicate needs to hit the Ruckers hard and where it hurts: in the finances. They decide on a target, one that most of the galaxy is blissfully unaware is owned by a vicious criminal gang: Friendli Foods. Purveyors of the Milky Way’s favorite junk foods, they make shipments to Earth on a megafreighter large enough to feed billions. Tanny has a plan to hijack it. Meanwhile, Esper embarks on a mission to ensure that the rebels aren’t blamed for the hijacking. They need a patsy, and what better way to set one up than to replace a mid-level lieutenant in the Rucker organization with a mole. It’ll be up to Esper to convince a bunch of hardened killers that she’s one of them—and to turn them against their own people. Stuck in the Astral with You is the fourteenth mission of Black Ocean: Mercy for Hire. Set in the Black Ocean Universe, it continues the saga of the galaxy's sweetest bounty hunter and her loyal sidekick (who is NOT a dog!) and introduces a colorful cast for new and returning readers alike. Fans of vigilante justice and heroes who exemplify the word will love this series.

Book Description
This volume constitutes the first large-scale collaborative reflection on Xenophon’s Anabasis, gathering experts on Greek historiography and Xenophon. It is structured in three sections: the first section provides a linear reading of the Anabasis through chapters on select episodes (from Book 1 through Book 7), including the opening, Cyrus’ characterisation, the meeting of Socrates and Xenophon, Xenophon’s leadership, the marches through Armenia and along the Black Sea coast and the service under Seuthes in Thrace. The second section offers an in-depth exploration of hitherto overlooked recurrent themes. Based on new approaches and scholarly trends, it focuses on topics such as the concept of friendship, the speeches of characters other than Xenophon, the suffering of the human body, the role of rumour and misrepresentation, and the depiction of emotions. The third section offers a more thorough investigation of the manifold reception of this work (in Antiquity, Byzantium, Renaissance, modern period, in cinema studies and illustrations). Finally, in acknowledgement of the Anabasis’ long history as a pedagogical text, the volume contains an envoi on the importance and benefits of teaching Xenophon and the Anabasis, more specifically.

Book Description
Meet the new boss, daughter of the old boss. It was a possibility she'd never considered and a friend she'd thought long gone. But when Tanny Rucker came to Esper for help overthrowing her father's criminal empire, it was an offer she couldn't refuse. Armed with Tanny's loyalists from her father's syndicate and the magical might Esper brings, the pair embark on a course to rewrite galactic history. To win, they might ruin countless innocent lives and even some of their friends. But convinced they're going to do more good, they press forward with their ambitious plan: to rid the galaxy of the Rucker Syndicate. Mission 13: The Girls Are Back in Town Esper and Tanny join forces to topple the Rucker Syndicate. Their first move, rescuing hostages so that no one can be forced to betray them. Mission 14: Stuck in the Astral With You To undermine the financial power of the Rucker Syndicate, Tanny and Esper go after their largest legitimate business front. Mission 15: Lair of the Dog When Tanny is forced to flee from battle, she brings her crew to the harshest, most unforgiving planet with a breathable atmosphere: Kubu's homeworld. Mission 16: Empathy for the Devil It's the final showdown for control of the Rucker Syndicate. What price will Tanny and Esper be forced to pay to realize their vision of a galaxy without its largest criminal empire? Bonus short story: Kubu's First Date When the opportunity arises to travel from his birth planet to his adoptive home, Kubu asks a friend to join him for the trip. But without a common culture to guide them, the two megalodogs fumble their way to a unique and unexpected idea for a first date. Black Ocean: Mercy for Hire follows the exploits of a pair of do-gooder bounty hunters who care more about saving the day than getting a payday.

THE SUNDAY TIMES HUMOUR BOOK OF THE YEAR 'One of the few books to make me laugh out loud' Sunday Express With Stephen Pile's The Ultimate Book of Heroic Failures, celebrate the very best in failure with this all new collection of outrageously funny misadventures from the author of the classic number one bestseller The Book of Heroic Failures. Anyone can be a success, but it takes real and original genius to foul up big time. These are the all-time greats, Gods in the field of failure, surreal artists, who spurn mere drab success ('I'm a winner, Lord Sugar') to explore the vast, magical, life-enhancing possibilities of getting it wrong. Any of us could make a mistake, but these great souls can turn the simplest everyday task into a scene of jaw-dropping wonder. These are the immortals. Failure is everywhere. The Book of Heroic Failures, takes us on an all-new and mind-bendingly hilarious tour to celebrate the most spectacular and absurd failures of the last twenty-five years. There are 235 stories in total spread from the Outer Hebrides to America, Ireland, Australia, Europe and Africa. From the most driving test failures (959), the most pointless election (in Dakota, in which not even the mayor voted), the worst robbery (when two different sets of bank robbers struck simultaneously) and the worst mugger (who left his victim $250 better off), to the holidaying rugby team of fifty-somethings from Dorchester who, due to a mis-translation, ended up playing the top team from Romania live on state TV, this is the ultimate book to make you feel better about yourself and the world around you.
