The High King of Hildegoth should be proud of his accomplishments, and often he can convince himself that he is. The Garull Wars had nearly crippled civilization, and only by the risk and craft of the most brilliant and the most brave in all the High Kingdom of Hildegoth did man and mankindred return from the brink of annihilation. Now a new evil looms, one that spawned and brewed in the space between spaces, and, its eyes opened, peers hungrily at the frailty that was once strength. In desperation, an ancient elf attempts to gather the most unlikely of champions to aid his dear mortal friend the High King, but will it be enough?

Book 2: Much has come to pass since N'ommu stepped from the space between spaces where all evil has poured, simmered, and gestated over the millenia. Now that it is a he, and now that he has begun gathering all forces that will bend their knee to his rule, it falls to the scattered forces of the High King and his allies to take stock, rebuild, and arm themselves against a force about which they still know very little. As for the other players being drawn into the tapestry: JaBrawn the werebear, the orphaned children under his care, Arachias the politician from Greann, his unusual servant Noal and their pupil Alec, and the partners of opportunity Ribbet and Val, all are making their way down their individual paths, replete with obstacles, dead ends and victories. Finally, though, these paths begin to cross, and the opposition to N'ommu may yet have the strength to truly challenge him. Or so Canthus, the Grandmaster Warrick tugging all the strings, hopes.

The Bestselling author of The Black Company Delivers a classic novel of military science fiction The ongoing war between Humanity and the Ulant is a battle of attrition that Humanity is losing. Humans do, however, have one technological advantage — trans-hyperdrive technology. Using this technology, specially designed and outfitted spaceships — humanity's climber fleet — can, under very narrow and strenuous conditions, pass through space undetected. Passage at Arms tells the intimate, detailed, and harrowing story of a climber crew and its captain during a critical juncture of the war. Cook combines speculative technology with a canny and realistic portrait of men at war and the stresses they face in combat. First published in 1985, Passage at Arms is one of the classic novels of military science fiction.

There are two different, interdependent components of IT that are important to a CIO: strategy, which is long-term; and tactical and operational concerns, which are short-term. Based on this distinction and its repercussions, this book clearly separates strategy from day-to-day operations and projects from operations – the two most important functions of a CIO. It starts by discussing the ideal organization of an IT department and the rationale behind it, and then goes on to debate the most pressing need – managing operations. It also explains some best industry standards and their practical implementation, and discusses project management, again highlighting the differences between the methodologies used in projects and those used in operations. A special chapter is devoted to the cutover of projects into operations, a critical aspect seldom discussed in detail. Other chapters touch on the management of IT portfolios, project governance, as well as agile project methodology, how it differs from the waterfall methodology, and when it is convenient to apply each. Taking the fundamental principles of IT service management and best practices in project management, the book offers a single, seamless reference for IT managers and professionals. It is highly practical, explaining how to apply these principles based on the author’s extensive experience in industry.

Portrayed by past historians as the greatest guide and Indian fighter in the West, Kit Carson has become in recent years a historical pariah--a brutal murderer who betrayed the Navajos, and an unwitting dupe of American expansion, and a racist. Many historians now question both his reputation and his place in the pantheon of American heroes. Here we are urged to reconsider Carson yet again. Carson was a man of the nineteenth century, whose racial views and actions were much like those of his contemporaries.
