Sergeant Deedee Contreras leads a SWAT team into a drug house occupied by militia terrorists who force her and her officers into a gunfight. Suddenly, Contreras and her team find themselves being tossed around by a tornado that hits on top of the house during the gun battle, wreaking havoc and leaving her unconscious. When she awakens, she finds herself alone in an apocalyptic wasteland of war and death, a warrior's world called Endos, where her only companion is Tito, a drug dog that chased her and her officers into the house before the tornado hit. Desperate to find a way back to her team, Deedee befriends a powerful female knight named Saradietus, who imparts onto her the Boots of Power and sends her on a quest to meet with the Warlord of Soldier City, an ally who has the power to send her back home. During her quest, she saves the lives of three warriors who swear an oath to repay her by helping fulfill her quest to get back to her fellow officers, and in doing so, becomes her new team. All the while, a powerful enemy by the name of Kiladris seeks to destroy Contreras and claim the boots for herself. New Warriors of Endos is a science-fiction, action-based, adventure story that serves as a dark satire, with adult themes, fantastic violence, and some social commentary.

Following World War II, Japan's postwar constitution forbade the country to wage war or create an army. However, with the emergence of the cold war in the 1950s, Japan was urged to establish the Self-Defense Forces as a way to bolster Western defenses against the tide of Asian communism. Although the SDF's role is supposedly limited to self-defense, Japan's armed forces are equipped with advanced weapons technology and the world's third-largest military budget. Sabine Frühstück draws on interviews, historical research, and analysis to describe the unusual case of a non-war-making military. As the first scholar permitted to participate in basic SDF training, she offers a firsthand look at an army trained for combat that nevertheless serves nontraditional military needs.

For any woman who has experienced illness, chronic pain, or endometriosis comes an inspiring memoir advocating for recognition of women's health issues In the fall of 2010, Abby Norman's strong dancer's body dropped forty pounds and gray hairs began to sprout from her temples. She was repeatedly hospitalized in excruciating pain, but the doctors insisted it was a urinary tract infection and sent her home with antibiotics. Unable to get out of bed, much less attend class, Norman dropped out of college and embarked on what would become a years-long journey to discover what was wrong with her. It wasn't until she took matters into her own hands -- securing a job in a hospital and educating herself over lunchtime reading in the medical library -- that she found an accurate diagnosis of endometriosis. In Ask Me About My Uterus, Norman describes what it was like to have her pain dismissed, to be told it was all in her head, only to be taken seriously when she was accompanied by a boyfriend who confirmed that her sexual performance was, indeed, compromised. Putting her own trials into a broader historical, sociocultural, and political context, Norman shows that women's bodies have long been the battleground of a never-ending war for power, control, medical knowledge, and truth. It's time to refute the belief that being a woman is a preexisting condition.

There's no part of your life they won't touch, and that's exactly why I'm going to come at them from all angles in this book.' In this raw, powerful, medically reviewed insider's guide, Erin Barnett - influencer, women's health advocate and star of Beauty and the Geek Australia, Love Island Australia and I'm a Celebrity . . . - shares her experience of navigating her teens and twenties while living with endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). At fourteen, Erin had the first of many pelvic surgeries.

With her knack for cutting through BS and her trademark sense of humour, Erin is sharing her story and words of wisdom in the hopes of empowering fellow sufferers to take charge of their own health and wellbeing, no matter their age. Recently named an Ambassador for Endometriosis Australia, Erin is part of a growing movement of endo sufferers giving voice to this previously taboo topic that affects a vast group of people - too many of whom suffer in silence believing their pain and symptoms are 'normal'.
