Book Description
Winged demons gather, silent and unseen, above the city of Usa, their talons long and sharp. Their purpose is clear, as is the prophesy: Upon the deaths of the three kings, the demon riders of the Krayakin will become flesh, free to slake their thirst with human blood - and the stench of evil will cover the land. Two of the kings are already dead. For the prophesy to be fulfilled, spreading carnage across the world, the Demon Lord must sacrifice the third king: Queen Axiana's unborn child. When Emperor Skanda disbands his army, the pregnant queen takes flight, pursued by the Lords of the Undead. All hope lies with three ancient heroes, though discarded by the emperor, they are still Drenai soldiers: Bison the giant, Kebra the bowman, and the great swordsman Nogusta - the Demon Lord's greatest foe. But will these warriors - once the best in the land - be enough to stem the tide of gruesome horror that threatens to envelop the world?

Book Description
SECOND EDITION -- One great German offensive has broken through the Russian defenses, leaving an allied army trapped in the frozen wasteland of the Kola Peninsula. While the armies try and survive the bitter cold, ski troops fight a vicious private war to dominate the ground between their armies. Desperate to break the deadlock, the German Navy sets sail in an effort to destroy the convoys that keep the allied armies on Kola alive. And so, an epic naval battle brews in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. In the midst of the fighting, the crew of a U.S. Navy railway gun, Russian railway engineers and Siberian ski troops come together in a desperate struggle to save the great guns from the advancing German troops. Behind the scenes, in a war-weary America, a political battle is being fought. One in which a supposed friend can be as deadly an enemy as any to be found on the Kola Peninsula.

Book Description
1067. Following the devastating destruction of the Battle of Hastings, William the Bastard and his men have descended on England. Villages are torched; men, women, and children are put to the sword as the Norman king attempts to impose his cruel will upon this unruly nation. But there is one who stands in the way of the invader's savagery. He is called Hereward. He is a warrior and master tactician and as adept at battle as the imposter who sits upon the throne. And he is England's last hope. In a Fenlands fortress of water and wild wood, Hereward's resistance is simmering. His army of outcasts grows by the day—a devil's army that emerges out of the mists and the night, leaving death in its wake. But William is not easily cowed. Under the command of his ruthless deputy, Ivo Taillebois—the man they call 'the Butcher'—the Norman forces will do whatever it takes to crush the rebels, even if it means razing England to the ground. Here then is the tale of the bloodiest rebellion England has ever known—the beginning of an epic struggle that will change England forever.

Book Description
"Social Media Dictators: The Dark Side of Digital Influence" is an in-depth examination of the toxic behaviour that occurs on social media platforms like X. The book scrutinizes how individuals wield undue influence and power to manipulate, control, and sabotage others' lives, careers, and emotional well-being. The book is divided into 36 chapters, each focusing on a distinct aspect of social media dictatorship. From the rebranding of Twitter to X to the psychology behind why some people seek to manipulate others, the book offers a comprehensive look at the underbelly of digital society. Topics include the weaponization of mob mentality, the destructive power of envy, the sabotage of good intentions, and the misuse of labels like "abuser." The book also delves into lived experiences, emphasizing that everyone's story is important and needs to be heard, irrespective of the attempts by social media dictators to stifle them. It examines the challenges faced by individuals in various situations, whether it's a billionaire losing millions or someone confronting physical loss, advocating for a more compassionate approach to help them. A recurring theme throughout is the need for digital ethics and regulation to prevent such exploitation and abuse. Moreover, it explores how such behaviour is not limited to one country or culture but is a global phenomenon requiring collective action. Practical advice is offered to those who have been victims of social media attacks, empowering them with the tools to reclaim their online lives. The book stresses that the responsibility for change does not solely lie with the platforms but with the users and society at large. The concluding sections provide a roadmap for lasting change, advocating for a more responsible and ethical use of social media. By shedding light on the dark corners of social media, the book aims to be a catalyst for change, urging collective action to make the digital world a safer, more inclusive space for all.
