With nowhere safe to run, she finds refuge on a small starship with a mysterious young man who seems to be fleeing something as well. ...

Come si combatte e come si muore nella Grande Guerra? Artiglierie micidiali, mitragliatrici sterminatrici, bombardamenti aerei futuribili; ma anche trincee di fango, doline allagate, il secco terreno carsico appena scalfito. Ogni battaglia ha significato per decine di milioni di europei essere esposti al rischio di morire in modi opposti, ora modernissimi ora arcaici; colpiti da lontano e dall'alto da granate e bombe devastanti o in attacchi corpo a corpo, alla baionetta, al pugnale, con mazze quasi medievali.

The year was 1862. The Union’s first large scale offensive, the Peninsula campaign led by Major General George B. McClellan, had been disastrous. Doubt in Congress grew that President Lincoln and his generals could win the war. In Saving the Union, Joe Scarborough analyzes the hard choice Lincoln faced—the debate raging inside him over how quickly to move toward emancipation, if at all.

In a world on the brink of annihilation, one man must rise from the ashes of his shattered life to lead a ragtag team of advanced super soldiers in a desperate battle against the merciless machines threatening to eradicate humanity. Jamie awakens after a rogue mission gone horribly wrong to find himself rebuilt with cybernetic steel and forcibly inducted into the ranks of an army of super soldiers known as the Borgers. With his family murdered, he and his newborn twins are the only ...

Pro tip: When a bunch of alien cats from outer space start blowing up cities without warning, prior plans may have to be altered. Be prepared to improvise. Yosi Weismann had a simple gig: Babysit a grossly irresponsible young man, who just happened to be a prince. Let His Excellency sow his wild oats. Don’t let him kill himself, or anyone else, in the process. Piece of cake for a man of his skills. A glorified vacation. That's how things were supposed to go, at any rate. Now Yosi is marooned on a foreign world, surrounded by people whom he doesn’t understand, hunted by enemies who ...

They became the Army's most influential generals in the crucible of Iraq. Collectively, their lives tell the story of the Army over the last four decades and illuminate the path it must travel to protect the nation over the next century.

The 100 year anniversary of the official use of American military personal identity tags, affectionately known as Dog Tags, recently passed without fanfare. We are currently in a war where the Dog Tag is once again a highly personal item to warriors in every service and their families. Each Dog Tag carries its own human interest story. Receiving it, hanging it around the neck, and feeling it is at once a silent statement of commitment. The tag itself individualizes the human being who wears it within a huge and faceless organization.

Without redemption, there is no peace. Without forgiveness, there is no redemption. Reva never asked to be the queen of an alien-human hive mind, but she never shirked from it, either. Now, she and the survivors of Star's End share a telepathic bond that allows them to think and feel as one. But unity will not come easy. Isaac fears her growing power, and Tomas fears that if the others awake from cryo, their murderous natures will drag everyone down to their level of depravity.

Even in our darkest hour, it must be stated clearly, the Living Goddess did not abandon Her flock. For beneath the alien jackboot, even when very hope itself seemed lost, there arose, by Her Grace, those yet willing to hold high the torch. We were rich. We were poor. We were young. We were old. We sprang from the soil of this planet. We came from far off-world. We were herdeiros. We were minorities. We held advanced degrees. We were illiterate. We’d been born to arms. We had never touched a weapon in our lives. We were as varied as Her Panoply, our paths to Her Truth – as many as the ...

It is difficult, I suppose, for the children of our safe, modern republic to imagine what life had been like in those days, under the Zin occupation. How does one explain the inexplicable? How does one describe the indescribable? How does one get across what it is like to live in a world with no safety, to expect, at any moment, the fatal knock on the door, to know, every waking minute of every waking day, that the very next breath might be one’s last? There are no words for such things. And so, when my grandchildren ask me, I tell them the only thing I can: We lived those days, I tell ...

In the aftermath of more than seven decades of U.S. interventions in the Middle East, the region remains a complex web of proxy wars, fragile alliances, and entrenched conflicts. From the covert operations that toppled Iran’s Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, to the ill-fated invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East has been marked by a recurring pattern of short-term victories at the cost of long-term stability. Yet, time and again, the United States has engaged in conflicts driven by a mixture of geopolitical ...

Welcome to the apocalypse, Norse style! In 2147, an insurgency prepares to strike at an occupying force that has warehoused most humans in orbital habitats.

On July 20, 1944, a group of German rebels are about to attempt the assassination of Hitler and launch a coup against the evil Nazi regime. A group hike in Iceland isn't supposed to make these three events intersect, much less end in the death of all Worlds. But that's exactly what six friends trigger when they accidentally breach the ...
