Doubt Me Not Book 2 of The Angel Brings Fire series The “Destroying Angel”, Karéin-Mayréij, has fallen to Earth after a near-fatal encounter with a Doomsday comet.

But Karéin-Mayréij isn't the only one who has been forever changed by her appearance upon the face of the Earth... the history of human evolution, will never be the same!

Mission Drift
Author: The Team
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 178319524X
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Mission Drift is a pioneering journey across the USA in pursuit of the soul of American capitalism, created in the blazing heat of a Las Vegas June. Told through atomic blasts, lizard ballet, and original music that fuses Las Vegas glitz with Western ballads and Southern blues, it features two interweaving love stories: the epic saga of an immortal teenage Dutch couple as they travel west from Amsterdam to New Amsterdam in 1624, all the way to modern-day financially devastated Las Vegas, and the intimate portrait of a cocktail waitress and a cowboy grappling with the 2008 recession and their crumbling American dreams. Over it all reigns Miss Atomic, a seductive storyteller/singer inspired by the 1950s beauty pageants celebrating the bombs tested in the Nevada desert. She is the symbol of creation and destruction, bankruptcy and bonanza, and this profoundly unique American city.

(Applause Books). The English Channel, the United States Government, Hitler, cancer these are a few of the obstacles which these extraordinary women hurdle on their way to ticker tape parades, prison cells and anonymous fates. These are not theatrical accolades to daring public feats; the inner frontiers we learn, are the most treacherous to navigate. So these figures are not statues in the park being polished for public view. And not "heroines" in a male melodrama, but heroes in their own right, and in their own world meet them in Julia Miles' new collection from The Women's Project.

Rising Tide
Author: Melvin Weaver
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595000304
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
The story is essentially Rod Sterling’s and is told mainly from his point of view. It sees him caught up in a web of historical events that first occurs during World War II, when he is a lad of thirteen, and continues as he becomes involved in Fidel Castro’s struggle for power in Cuba. The story is also of Conchita Quesada, the headstrong, young and winsome black-eyed Latin beauty. She sets a fire in Rod’s blood that would not be quenched. Their life together is filled with violence, danger, romance, adventure, mystery, and political intrigue. The book is appealing, in part, because it reads like the current events of the era in which the novel takes place. Rising Tide will leave the reader acutely aware of the menace that communism presented in the Caribbean Basin and Central America.
