Many regard this work as the definitive account of a controversial conflict of the war in the Pacific, the June 1944 battle known as the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot." Drawing on ten years of research and told from the viewpoint of the fliers and sailors who were on the firing line, William T. Y'Blood leads the reader through every stage of the battle, from the dogfights to the persistent attacks on the Japanese carriers to the frantic efforts of the returning fliers to land on friendly carriers. He takes the battle from the initial planning through the invasion of the Marianas and the recriminations that followed, describing Admiral Spruance's decision to allow U.S. forces to remain on the defensive and giving blow-by-blow details of the action. This intensive study of what many believe to be a major turning point in the Pacific War has remained an important reference since it was first published in 1981.

City of Ruin is the second book in Mark Charan Newton's Legends of the Red Sun fantasy series. Villiren is a city of sin that's being torn apart from the inside. Hybrid creatures shamble through shadows and barely human gangs fight turf wars for control of the streets. Amidst this chaos, Commander Brynd Lathraea, commander of the Night Guard, must plan the defence of Viliren against a race that has broken through from another realm and already slaughtered hundreds of thousands of the Empire’s people. When a Night Guard soldier goes missing, Brynd needs help. Investigator Jeryd discovers this is not the only disappearance from the streets of Villiren. It seems that a serial killer of the most horrific kind is on the loose, taking hundreds of people from their own homes. A killer that cannot possibly be human. The entire population of Villiren must unite to face an impossible surge of violent and unnatural enemies or the city will fall. But how can you save a city that's already a ruin?

BLUE SUN, RED SUN A Story of Ancient Prophesy Unfolding in the Modern World By Jack Allis Blue Sun, Red Sun is a metaphysical thriller, based on Hopi prophesy that talks about mysterious lights that appear in our sky heralding the coming of a new age, and what we, humanity, are called upon to do in these times of monumental transformation. The setting is Rainbow Village, a small sustainable community in the remote mountains, which is built on the same foundation as the Hopi and other indigenous traditions, and that is living in harmony with nature. They believe the civilized world is in the final stages of its inevitable collapse, and their mission is to be a base from which to build the new world from the ashes of the old. Our story begins with the first of the lights, the Blue Sun, appearing in the sky. The next day a group calling itself the Guardians takes control of all forms of media and announces the creation of a New World Order, with supreme authority to govern the world in their hands. Their first act is to abolish all paper money, and replace it with mandatory microchip implants for financial transactions. This, together with the mysterious Blue Sun, sends the world into a panic. Financial markets crash and hyperinflation strikes, making all money worthless. The old paradigm civilized world is on the brink. Thus, the stage is set for the most epic battle of all, as humanity is forced to choose between two worlds, one of slavery and one of freedom. It is a battle which is also beyond this world. It is multi-dimensional and extraterrestrial. The Guardians are aligned with extraterrestrial beings who have ruled the Earth behind the scenes for millennia. And in order for Rainbow to persevere, they must rely on the powers of the supernatural that they derive from their spirituality. Rainbow Village is prepared for this day. Will they experience the same fate as indigenous traditions before them, annihilation? Will they be devoured by the chaos around them? What power could possibly supplant the Guardians? If Rainbow is to persevere, what forces must come into play?

This work offers the most comprehensive account of the origin and consequences of the Yan'an Rectification Movement from 1942 to 1945. The author argues that this campaign emancipated the Chinese Communist Party from Sovietinfluenced dogmatism and unified the Party, preparing it for the final victory against the Nationalist Party in 1949. More importantly, this monograph shows in great detail how Mao Zedong established his leadership through this partywide political movement by means of aggressive intraparty purges, thought control, coercive cadre examinations, and total reorganizations of the Party's upper structure. The result of this movement not only set up the foundation for Mao's new China, but also deeply influenced the Chinese political structure today. The Chinese version of How the Red Sun Rose was published in 2000, and has had nineteen printings since then.

Things happen around Phoebe, but it’s not like they’re her fault!
