Book Description
In 405 AD, a raid from a band of marauding Huns destroys a Christian village in the heart of barbarian Germania. Among those forced to flee are the pastor and his strong-willed, sixteen-year-old daughter Theona. They lead a tiny group of survivors on a quest to find a new, safer place to settle, and ultimately join a massive invasion into the Roman Empire assembling on the banks of the Danube River. The invasion is led by Gothic king Radagaisus, described by ancient writers as "a worshipper of demons." His drive to conquer the tempting lands across the river is fueled by his anger at Rome for abandoning the old pagan gods and adopting Christianity as the new state religion. What will he do when he finds that among the thousands of people joining the invasion, he is harboring Christians? And what will Theona do when she quickly draws the interest of Radagaisus's impetuous son, Roderic? Young Gallic aristocrat Marius Ausonius, unaware of the looming threat, joins the Roman Army to train as a tribune. Too soon after his training, he and his cohort are thrust into the eye of the storm when they must defend one of the key strongholds blocking Radagaisus and his hordes. The lives of Marius and Theona become intertwined in incredible circumstances that will have far-reaching consequences for both of them and their people. I found it very difficult to put this manuscript down - a very rare occurrence. I enjoyed the historical accuracy, and what a tale this is. Wonderful story telling!

Book Description
Experiments were performed on multiple flat-disk shadow shields to determine the effects of shield spacing number, emissivity, lateral conductance, and targeting (high-emissivity coatings on annular rings of shields) on thermal performance. The experimental data, in general, agreed closely with an analytical model which assumed diffuse surfaces with nonuniform radiosity. A shadow-shield system for a hypothetical space vehicle was designed, scaled down, and tested. Results demonstrated: (1) a lightweight method of shield construction; (2) shield-support interactions: and (3) reduction of support heat leaks by shield location, attachment methods, and the use of high-emissivity coatings.
