Synopsis

Bernard Shaw's 'O'Flaherty V.C.: A Recruiting Pamphlet' is a thought-provoking play that explores the theme of war and patriotism through the character of O'Flaherty, a humble Irish soldier who unexpectedly finds himself in the spotlight as a war hero. Shaw's witty and satirical writing style challenges the glorification of war and questions the true motives behind recruitment efforts during times of conflict. The play is a prime example of Shaw's ability to use humor and irony to deliver serious social commentary, making it a captivating read for those interested in politics and military history. Set during World War I, 'O'Flaherty V.C.' reflects the turbulent political climate of the era and remains relevant to contemporary discussions on nationalism and militarism. Shaw's clever use of language and well-developed characters add depth to the narrative, making it an engaging and thought-provoking piece of literature. Bernard Shaw, known for his outspoken views and sharp wit, was a prominent playwright and critic who used his works to challenge societal norms and provoke thought. 'O'Flaherty V.C.' is a testament to Shaw's ability to blend entertainment with social commentary, making it a valuable addition to any reader's collection. I highly recommend this play to anyone interested in exploring the complexities of war, patriotism, and the power of literature to provoke meaningful discussions.

    “A cracking good read” and a chilling true story of Russia’s assassination program begun more than a century ago and which continues today (Tennent H. Bagley, former CIA chief of Soviet Bloc counterintelligence).   In late November 2006, Alexander Litvinenko—a former lieutenant colonel of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation—was ruthlessly assassinated in London by radiation poisoning. The shocking murder was the most notorious crime committed by the Russian intelligence on foreign soil in more than three decades.   Here, former Russian military intelligence officer and an international expert in special operations Boris Volodarsky—who was consulted by the Metropolitan Police during the Litvinenko investigation—offers readers a startling narrative of the Russian security services’ history of covert assassination by poisoning.   Beginning in 1917 with Lenin and his dreaded Cheka secret police, Russian security services have committed killing after killing both in Russia and across the globe. In The KGB’s Poison Factory, Volodarsky proves that the Litvinenko’s poisoning—supposedly ordered by Russian strongman Vladimir Putin—is just one episode in a chain of murders going back decades. Some of these assassinations or attempted assassinations are already known, others are revealed here for the first time.   With keen insight, Volodarsky brings readers inside the assassinations of twenty individuals killed by order of the Kremlin in a revealing tell-all that “will fascinate students as well as general readers interested in international espionage” (Library Journal).

    Viceroy. It’s not a term Sam would have ever thought would apply to them. But for some reason, the sovereign of Westhold seems to trust Sam with his life—and with the legacy the crazy, not-so-human firebird is building. But none of that matters if Sam can’t conquer their fear and insecurities and keep from going feral. 
    Fin and Emerson just won’t give up on Sam and stay away from the cur, where they’ll be safe. And when Sam is forced to confront the alpha and the shifter pack who has tormented Sam since birth, all Sam’s worst fears come true as the hunter faces the risk of losing a mate they were never brave enough to claim. 
    Author’s Note: 
    I love reverse harem, but I got sick of reading the same old tropes. In my books you will find atypical characters and varied sexuality. In general, you probably won’t find many alpha males or fainting females, and relationships may have a more poly feel. The Not Quite series is a harem/reverse harem urban fantasy series of novellas (between 35,000-45,000 words) and contains the following: 
    *adult language, and lots of it 
    *moderate levels of violence/gore/action 
    *graphic sexual situations 
    *polyamory/ multiple lovers 
    *LBGTQ and straight themes (the main character is intersex and will have both male and female lovers, and this is a harem, so expect M/F, M/M, F/F, MMMFF etc.) 
    *as usual, my characters all have their own emotional scars. This means the books MAY contain mentions of abuse, unpleasant situations, etc. Please do not read if you are triggered by things like this. This book in particular includes references to past abuse or mistreatment, physical, mental, and sexual. 
    *occasional “cliff-hangers” or lead-ins to the next book may occur, though generally at least one major plot arc shows completion or at the very least, forward progress. 
    *word count does not include teaser chapters or other fluff material at the end.

    Award-winning author Philip Dray delves into the  lesser-known side of an American icon in Stealing God’s  Thunder. Benjamin Franklin, more often viewed as a  statesman and founding father than as a man of science,  challenged religion, science, and reason with his inventions.  But in a time when everything was blamed on sin, it was the lightning rod—  Franklin’s attempt to control the heavens—that caused the greatest controversy.
