Seven tales-including 'Lovecraft in Lockup, ' the sequel to Lovecraft's Iraq-are here to pay homage to military life and lunatic cosmic dread. Malaki Marsh, corporal in the Marine Corps, has brought a bit of Ipswich to Onslow Beach. Armed with arcane know-how, he's on the verge of summoning a swimmer from the deep-but whose ill fate it may bring not even he can tell. Recon Marine, daring leader, lunatic extraordinaire, Cornelius Van Cleave seems to live for only two things: the beloved Corps and climbing with his hands and teeth up its bloody ranks. But there are fallen stars, abductions, and dark magic during Desert Storm all standing in his way. Ronald Ragsdale, veteran turned congressman, would like nothing better than to unsee his past. But none could forget the horror he encountered while in the jungles of Vietnam. His one and only trip to the VA leaves him spilling his guts to a skeptical shrink, though she may not remain doubtful for long. There is the Iraqi, Al-Sufi. Along with his moronic brother, he's high-tailing it out of Iraq, off to a new land, to the United States of America, where, if they get there, a greater banquet awaits than seen in their centuries-spanning lives. Esoteric rituals. Strange powers harnessed. A disarmed military policeman, out to solve the case of a lifetime, and more. Creepy, well-crafted, rife with dark humor, and teeming with determined characters, Monsters in the Bush is a collection of military horror like no other.

First published in 1988, Social Stratification and Economic Change brings together, for the first time in textbook form, some of the most significant work both theoretical and empirical on stratification in Britain. In part I, David Rose provides on overview of stratification research, and papers from David Lockwood, John Goldthorpe, Gordon Marshall, Ray Pahl, and Claire Wallace tackle key theoretical issues. In part II, six papers commissioned for the book report on empirical studies and their implications. By bringing together an outstanding group of authors, all at the forefront of their field, the book makes an important contribution to debates on social stratification and will be invaluable for both students and researchers in sociology.

Welcome to the human zoo, the future where we are never what we seem and the real is not real at all. In a future world not unlike our own, those who have everything and those who have nothing have been kept apart till now. But Sady, Charlie and Caliban Shakespere are going to be brought together by the seemingly arbitrary nature of luck. Or design.

Almost eight decades after the seminal conference that gave us the G7, World Bank, IMF and J.M. Keynes' momentous 'money creation' process, the lethal unintended consequences are about to be unleashed. Just one man, driven by loathing of the entire banking firmament, is about to turn the industry's own technology on itself to trigger global economic meltdown.This slow-burn thriller draws the reader deep into the private, inscrutable world of high finance and the ultra-wealthy... and onto its intense and unpredictable conclusion.+All historical events and financial institutions in this book are real.+Dez Fox is a semi-invalid ex-army sniper who has forged a successful civilian career in financial PR. Within weeks of starting a new job with a wealth management firm he learns that his boss is planning to relieve dozens of his billionaire clients of their entire fortunes.But he senses that there is something far more sinister going on. Where does North Korea fit into the conspiracy and why does the global electronic banking network, SWIFT, suddenly look so vulnerable?Everything is adding up to a plot set to implode the global banking network from the top down and trigger economic Armageddon, with an ensuing tsunami of unstoppable anarchy, worldwide.But is he the only one who can see what's coming? Is he right? Who can he tell? ...and who would believe him?

The year is 1995 and Britain like the rest of Europe has been under German occupation for approaching 50 years. Since that fateful day back in 1945, when the Luftwaffe dropped the world's first atomic bomb on the island of Cyprus, the Nazi's have reigned supreme throughout Europe.Adolf Hitler had finally realised his dream of a mighty German empire, but unaware of events elsewhere, he had taken his own life in a bunker near Berlin. So despite the Third Reich's glorious victory, the loss of their beloved leader was a cross that the whole of Germany would have to bear for all eternity!Or was it?Thanks to the brilliant mind of Tony Smith, an English quantum physicist, they have suddenly found themselves presented with the holy grail of all inventions;A 'Temporal Energy Separation System'. In other words, a time-machine!Surely, a dream come true for the German command. They now have opportunity to save the Furher from his own suicide and deliver him to their people on the 50th anniversary of their triumph. Using his own machine, Tony Smith was to be sent back in time to 1945. His mission; to inform Adolf Hitler of his pending victory and therefore prevent his untimely death.A simple enough plan, but a plan that was to ultimately fail!Instead, events don't quite transpire as they had hoped and Tony now finds himself in the hands of the brutal and merciless Nazi's. About to be shot for being a spy, Tony is rescued by the Polish resistance, including the beautiful Kaska. Seeing the war from a different perspective, and witnessing first hand the atrocities carried out by the Germans, Tony, realises that, instead of saving Hitler, he has the power to change the outcome of the war!Will he seize the chance?Aware that something back in 1945 was amiss, could the powers that be, back in 1995, prevent him from doing so, knowing that such a paradox could threaten their very existence. A tense and exciting race across Europe and against time ensues.If Tony succeeds, what would be the consequences to him and his family?In fact, what would be the consequences to the entire World!?Will he face these consequences and change the course of history or will he be stopped in his tracks?Wherever and whenever, Tony Smith finds himself, will he be happy or will he live to regret the day he ever invented the time-machine?

Loner, bumpkin, teenager, Matina thought her life's adventures would reach no further than paddling under night cypress or falling through the parchment of a good book. But she owns a great secret, one coming with her approaching womanhood like the mouths of gnashing teeth. Boraor Rehton, the inept shaman, would love nothing more than to leave this wretched town, continuously appointing him their spiritual leader. He knows little about the earthly arts, but the same cannot be said for black magic; tools he uses, which, if caught, would earn him a place on Amden's impaling stakes. Add Pauthor Quithot, recluse, Grubilius Motty, lowlife drunkard, and other malcontents all involved with a mysterious force let loose upon the bog. As the force's mystery wanes, old feuds are inflamed, murder is ready to run rampant, and the threshold separating the living from the dead is hopped over with wicked glee. Alluring, unpredictable, dripping with idiosyncratic folk, AMDEN BOG is dark fantasy where beauty and brutality often hang from the same sagging vine.

Gannon award for PoetryThe first official poetry installment in David Rose¿s unique blend of tenderness and morbidity, From Sand and Time engages a cataclysmic self-reflection coming with the complexities, times, and demands of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. An evocative collection of rhyme and free verse, From Sand and Time weaves through ambition and belief, doubt and loneliness, deployment, combat, and what waits thereafter.

From the nation that gave us Victorian virtues, here is another irresistible collection of brilliant, bawdy and often absurd personal ads from the world’s funniest—and smartest—lonely-hearts column. These ads prove that even if you’re lonely, you don’t have to be boring, as advertisers in this book demand much more than long walks on the beach from their potential mates. .Arranged by theme (“The Usual Hyperbole and a Whiff of Playful Narcissism”), and including footnotes to obscure references, Sexually I’m More of a Switzerland promises to be, like its predecessor, “a bracing splash of cold reality in the flushed face of romance” ( Chicago Tribune )..

When the notorious necromancer, Maecidion, dies, the reading of his will goes awry. Powerful heirlooms are given to rivals of the deceased's kin, Irion, who are no strangers to black magic. Soon, Irion embarks on a bitter quest to retrieve what should rightfully be his.Tinged with traces of horror and humor, erotica and satire, the world of Mulgara plays host to an ensemble of dark characters. Not only necromancers, but grave robbers, thieves, and a bubbly witch, all caught in a web of friend or foe, and through their tales, Maecidion's plan is ultimately revealed.

"Going to war was a finite window to touch the vanquished barbaric world modern reality has so woefully blighted out."Joining the Marines in 2002, David Rose signed up to go fight ... and to go die. On this grim path, rather than finding a violent death, he would find family, purpose, and a brotherhood amid the misfit tribal world of the war fighter.¿No Joy sees David recounting madcap tales of Muay Thai bouts in seedy garages, a bizarre stint as a street cop, being on the other side of the badge, becoming a veteran of the psych ward, and more. It's an irreverently told story that doesn¿t just tell one man's tale, but speaks to the necessary question: What really draws modern young men to war?

NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS WINNER — NONFICTION • 2022 IPPY AWARDS BRONZE MEDALIST — SCIENCEFor thousands of years, human vision has been largely unchanged by evolution.We’re about to get a software update.Today, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Snap, Samsung, and a host of startups are racing to radically change the way we see. The building blocks are already falling into place: cloud computing and 5G networks, AI computer vision algorithms, smart glasses and VR headsets, and mixed reality games like Pokémon GO. But what’s coming next is a fundamental shift in how we experience the world and interact with each other. Over the next decade, what we see and how we see it will no longer be bound by biology. Instead, our everyday vision will be augmented with digital information to give us what spatial computing pioneer David Rose calls “SuperSight.” And as our view of the world becomes blended layers of information delivered via glasses, contact lenses, or projected light, it will fundamentally change learning, shopping, work, play, and much, much more. David provides an insider’s guide to the way our lives are about to change, while also unpacking the downsides of this coming world—what he calls the hazards of SuperSight, from equity and access issues to bubble filter problems—and proposing rational, actionable ways around them.From AI mirrors that advise us on our outfits, to museums that let us talk with deceased explorers and artists, to the ways we envision sustainable cities, the scope of augmented vision is boundless. SuperSight offers a rich speculative preview of the future and its implications, both shocking and thrilling.
