Sinossi

Amid a literal fog of war on a disputed planet, a woman is thrust into battle, forced to fight in her captors' war. With an empire at her back, ready to kill her at the slightest hesitation, this slaveturned- reluctant hero must battle through an unknown enemy, scientific abominations, and truly alien terrain to uncover the truth about her identity and that of her enslaved companions.Chung's novel—told in sparse, evocative prose and expertly translated by Anton Hur—draws on the real history of Korean soldiers who fought and died in a war against Russia on behalf of the Qing Dynasty. Red Sword combines stunning world-building with a thought-provoking challenge to readers: what does it mean to wield power over others?

    IT is supposed to be about systems, servers, and keeping chaos at bay. But then Sean Rivers walked in—human, grumpy, and a disaster with technology. Suddenly, patching servers comes with heated glances, playful banter, and some very hands-on troubleshooting. He’s got my world of logic and code crashing spectacularly… and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

    I didn’t sign up to be anyone’s project—least of all a hulking, ridiculously cheerful orc who could lift me like a sack of flour. Yet here I am, navigating magical office chaos, endless forms, and Greg’s relentless charm. Between the flirty teasing, stolen touches, and squirting candies, a chemistry bubbles I can’t ignore. Maybe some problems can’t be solved on my own… but I never expected help from a nerdy orc with thick black glasses and shoulders that won’t quit. 
    Ctrl+Alt+Orc is the second book in the Love at Labyrinth Solutions series featuring a grumpy human/sunshine orc, lots of workplace humor and plenty of spice.

Michael Brown, our hero from the first book of the trilogy, is now 35 and sets out to explore this new world. In America, he encounters 'pecuniocracy,' a system where the rationality of money governs all aspects of life: contract marriages, commercial families, custody battles with financial stakes, and other bizarre phenomena stemming from the belief that money is the cornerstone of humanity and society. Through a series of thrilling adventures and unexpected twists, Michael must navigate and ultimately escape from this dystopian future America.
