The war between the Humans and Thrultak is over. The two different species are fearlessly forging ahead in their quest to learn from and understand each other. But some humans aren't happy with the new Human/Thrultak alliance. Bishop Jones and his followers in the New Patriotic Sword of Christ Church are still at large and still hoping to bring down the entire U.S. presidency and put their own leader in place. But just when things seem to be settling down, a new threat appears on the horizon. The Ghakeols one of the Quasloi slaves races, appears, quite literally, on the horizon. The Quasloi are known to enslave every other race it discovers to use as soldiers. The Thrultak know the Quasloi-they are the species they have been running from for years. Can they, with help from the humans, finally defeat the dangerous species?As all sides make their opening gambits in the war for the future of humanity, Julie Lopez and Danny Lee find themselves once again in the thick of the battle.This is the second book in The Enemy series by John Park.

"By capturing the temporal dimensions in Wordsworth's The Prelude, Richardson's Clarissa, Flaubert's "Un Coeur Simple," and Melville's Moby Dick, John Park argues that these literary works of realism - the artistic claim to represent life as it is - do not necessarily depend upon the plotline of the story they tell. The reduced significance placed on plot is counterbalanced by something else: an experience of duration, a sheer extension of time in reading, a sense of time stemming from the unique stylistic innovations in each work"--

A functional imaging technique that utilizes radioactive substances, known as radiotracers, to measure and visualize changes in metabolic processes and physiological activities, such as blood flow, is called the positron emission tomography (PET). This mechanism is also appropriate for measuring physiological activities such as regional chemical composition and absorption. PET is a valuable research and medical tool used in pre-clinical and clinical settings, majorly used in the imaging of tumors. Based on the target process within the body, different tracers are used for various imaging processes. For instance, NaF is widely used for detecting bone formation, and oxygen-15 is sometimes used to measure blood flow and F-FDG is commonly used to detect cancer. PET has the potential to detect biochemical processes and some protein expressions as it provides molecular level information before any anatomic changes are visible. The major disadvantage of a PET scanner is its high purchase cost and the recurring operating expenses. This book contains some path-breaking studies related to positron emission tomography. It strives to provide a fair idea about this imaging technique and to help develop a better understanding of its clinical applications. The book is appropriate for students as well as experts seeking detailed information regarding positron emission tomography.
