This bundle contains the first four books in the ongoing Shadow For Hire series. Book 1 - Shadow Gambit An impossible quest for a legendary item. I love questing for loot. And the more difficult the quest, the greater the reward. So when I'm offered a chance to retrieve the ultimate treasure of all, I signed up. Yet no one warned me the task would be impossible. Against overwhelming odds I'm also expected to defeat an ancient evil - one with the power of a god. But you know what? Some loot is worth risking it all. Book 2 - Shadow Hunting The most powerful player in the gaming universe wants me dead. Now I have a price on my head with tens of thousands of bounty hunters out to kill me. But I can only run for so long. I need to put an end to this madness once and for all. If I'm going to die, it will be on my own terms. The tables must be turned. Time to go hunting. Book 3 - Shadow Wars I'm a loot-hunting adventurer, not a general. I play online MMOs for exciting quests, to level my character and find cool loot. Not to lead armies. But now I have to fight a battle to get the quest item I desperately need. I've never commanded troops or built bases or strategized an attack more complex than a dungeon raid. When it comes to war, I'm a complete noob. Yet, defeat isn't an option. I've got to win or everything I've worked so hard for will be lost. So, they want a war? I'll give them one. Book 4 - Shadow Blade A hallowed weapon hidden in a jungle hell. Forced to prove my worthiness to an elite group of players, I must earn the right to enter one of the most notorious locations in the game. The Emerald Caldera has a fearsome reputation for chewing up would-be adventurers and quickly sending them back to the newbie zone. Filled with dungeon temples, monstrous beasts and dark-magic cults, the jungles of this mysterious island are deserving of respect. And I must plunge headlong into them because it is here where I can find the next elusive item in my Legendary Armor Set: The Shadow Blade litrpg, gamelit, fantasy, science fiction, cyberpunk, series, bundle, collection, action, adventure, female mc, anthology, omnibus, rpg, mmo, role playing game

In recent years, government's primary response to the emergent problems of homelessness, hunger, child abuse, health care, and AIDS has been generated through nonprofit agencies funded by taxpayer money. As part of the widespread movement for privatization, these agencies represent revolutionary changes in the welfare state. Steven Smith and Michael Lipsky demonstrate that this massive shift in funds has benefits and drawbacks. Given the breadth of government funding of nonprofit agencies, this first study of the social, political, and organizational effects of this service strategy is an essential contribution to the current raging debates on the future of the welfare state. Reviews of this book: "An insightful analysis of the implications of an important, broad trend of the past thirty years in the social welfare policy of the United States and many other countries...[Smith and Lipsky] demonstrate that we do not have to read about other countries to find a comparative perspective that sheds light on the choices we face in our national health care debate." DD--Bradford H. Gray, Health Affairs "The most comprehensive account we have of the history, extent, nature, and meaning of delivering social services that are paid for by government and delivered through nonprofit organizations." DD--H. Brinton Milward, Public Administration Review "An interesting, absorbing, and important book." DD--William T. Gormley, Jr., American Political Science Review "An important contribution to welfare state scholarship." DD--Kirsten A. Gronbjerg, Contemporary Sociology
