In the void, Shadows lurk, waiting to arise. After surviving an attack by hostile aliens called Shadows, Jas Harrington and the crew of the Galatheahave made it back to Earth. There, the lies of the ship’s acting captain mean that Jas faces some hard questions from the committee investigating the attack. But more urgent problems become apparent. Things on Earth have changed since Jas went away. Strange disappearances and odd behavior lead her to the question: have Shadows invaded her home planet? When the Galathea’s former navigator Sayen Lee investigates, she’s taken hostage. Jas must fight to free her friend from her captors and find out what’s been happening on Earth. If her suspicions are correct, all humanity is at risk. Shadowrise is book four in the fast-paced, action-packed Shadows of the Void space opera serial.

Have you ever stopped to think about how deeply we depend on technology and electricity? Can you imagine what would happen if everything stopped working all at once? Our world, every day, every hour, every minute, is deeply intertwined with the invisible threads of technology. But what would happen if all those threads were suddenly cut? Are we prepared to face a world plunged into darkness, without the conveniences and comforts we are used to? "Shadowrise: The Dawn of Darkness" is the first book in a series, introducing us to a setting as fearsome as it is fascinating. A city, once brimming with life and light, now sets the stage for an unprecedented blackout. Kaelan, an average young man, suddenly finds himself at the center of this apocalyptic reality, facing a world he no longer recognizes. From the initial days of confusion to the subsequent days of despair, we follow Kaelan and his friends as they navigate the challenges of a world where the rules of the past no longer apply. Will Kaelan be able to adapt and survive in this new world, or will the dawn of darkness be too much for him? "Shadowrise: The Dawn of Darkness" is a call to awaken our consciousness, a warning cry about our growing dependence on technology, and a thrilling exploration of what it truly means to survive. Join Kaelan and discover what a world would be like when suddenly stripped of technology, plunged into despair as everything familiar crumbles.

“Reveals a political trend that threatens both our form of government and our species.” - Timothy Snyder, author of ON TYRANNY "Riveting.... Want to understand how so many Americans turned against truth? Read this book." Nancy Maclean, author of DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS In 1981, emboldened by Ronald Reagan's election, a group of some fifty Republican operatives, evangelicals, oil barons, and gun lobbyists met in a Washington suburb to coordinate their attack on civil liberties and the social safety net. These men and women called their coalition the Council for National Policy. Over four decades, this elite club has become a strategic nerve center for channeling money and mobilizing votes behind the scenes. Its secretive membership rolls represent a high-powered roster of fundamentalists, oligarchs, and their allies, from Oliver North, Ed Meese, and Tim LaHaye in the Council's early days to Kellyanne Conway, Ralph Reed, Tony Perkins, and the DeVos and Mercer families today. In Shadow Network, award-winning author and media analyst Anne Nelson chronicles this astonishing history and illuminates the coalition's key figures and their tactics. She traces how the collapse of American local journalism laid the foundation for the Council for National Policy's information war and listens in on the hardline broadcasting its members control. And she reveals how the group has collaborated with the Koch brothers to outfit Radical Right organizations with state-of-the-art apps and a shared pool of captured voter data - outmaneuvering the Democratic Party in a digital arms race whose result has yet to be decided. In a time of stark and growing threats to our most valued institutions and democratic freedoms, Shadow Network is essential reading.

In a world where beliefs are real, actualized by will, expressed by intent, Yip Chi Chuan, a young martial and spiritual ascetic, flees as the only home he has ever known, the ancient monastery of the Priests of K’un Lun, is destroyed by a newly ascendant extradimensional evil. Cast out and alone, Yip strikes out on a quest spanning the breadth of his home world of Ea’ae and into the greater macroverse beyond in an attempt to unseat an all-consuming Darkness rooted in his once vaunted Order’s distant past. Will Yip, the last of his kind to walk the wide world beyond his fallen sanctuary, succeed where his mighty brethren failed in Ages past? Unfortunately for Yip, the answer appears all too clear.... Without the guidance and teachings of his lineage, pursued by malevolent supernatural agents of the Cabal, unable to fully defend himself in a world steeped in magic, his own quest may fail before it ever begins. Unfazed by his own limitations, guided by his inner vision and direct experience of the energies of life, the radiant chi suffusing and enlivening the world all around, he is determined to triumph where others have faltered. To win forward, he will need help... but first he must survive. A blend of Eastern mysticism and Western fantasy, Shadow’s Rise is the first book of the Chronicles of the Fists, an epic trilogy recounting Yip’s adventures against all odds.

For years economists have spoken of ‘Africa rising’, and despite the global financial crisis, Africa continues to host some of the fastest growing economies in the world. Africa’s Shadow Rise however argues that the continent’s apparent economic ‘rise’ is essentially a mirage, driven by developments elsewhere - most particularly the expansion in China's economy. While many African countries have experienced high rates of growth, much of this growth may prove to be unsustainable, and has contributed to environmental destruction and worsening inequality across the continent. Similarly, new economic relationships have produced new forms of dependency, as African nations increasingly find themselves tied to the fortunes of China and other emerging powers. Drawing on in-depth fieldwork in southern Africa, Africa’s Shadow Rise reveals how the shifting balance of global power is transforming Africa’s economy and politics, and what this means for the future of development efforts in the region.
