Cumming Year The - 2024 -...

Kathrin Pissinger

Another Orgasmic New Year 
It has been far too long that I got together with my girlfriend for a slutty and slippery slide into the New Year, but this time, she has planned something special: A very special maid, providing very special room service, just for me. Or wait: Make that two maids, who both can't get enough of our sputtering holes, drenching them in everything that's wet and wonderful until they're plugged with a fist. How did I manage to talk about my book in between all that? Well, you should read and see! 
After all, it has been... what, years? Hoo boy, a long time in any case, since I published my last book, and if you're at all curious what I've been up to and what my plans are for the next year, this is the place to find out. And hey, what better way to find out than in between layers and layers of smut, right? 
Caution: Contains orgiastic lesbian sex, fisting, urination and quite a quite a bit of anal, if I remember correctly. Which I may not, my memory got hazy after a point.

History's Turn - Understanding...

Marcus Draysun

This book contains the following two titles:
If the South Had Won: The American Civil War's Alternate Ending - The outcome of the Civil War changed dramatically in this alternate history, with the South emerging victorious. The Confederacy’s early victories redefined the course of the conflict and set the stage for a dramatically different future. One of the key factors in the South’s triumph was the strategic advantage gained in the opening years of the war. With superior military leadership, especially from General Robert E. Lee, the Confederacy was able to exploit the Union’s weaknesses and win crucial battles that would eventually shift the momentum in their favor. The Battle of Gettysburg, for instance, saw Confederate forces turning the tide of battle in their favor. With the Union forces retreating, the South captured key northern territories, including Washington D.C., which became a symbol of Confederate dominance.
Red Dawn: What If the Soviets Had Prevailed in the Cold War? - The Cold War, which dominated much of the 20th century, was a clash of ideologies, political ambitions, and global power struggles. It was a battle between two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, each determined to impose its vision of the future upon the world. The Cold War never boiled over into full-scale war, but the fear of nuclear annihilation and the constant threat of conflict shaped the political landscape. But what if the Soviet Union had won this prolonged battle, and the world as we know it had unfolded differently?

Atomic Days - The Untold Story...

Joshua Frank

Once home to the United States's largest plutonium production site, the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State is laced with 56 million gallons of radioactive waste. The threat of an explosive accident at Hanford is all too real—an event that could be more catastrophic than Chernobyl. 
 
  
 
The EPA designated Hanford the most toxic place in America; it is also the most expensive environmental clean-up job the world has ever seen, with a $677 billion price tag that keeps growing. Huge underground tanks, well past their life expectancy and full of boiling radioactive gunk, are leaking, infecting groundwater supplies and threatening the Columbia River. 
 
 
 
Whistleblowers are now speaking out, hoping their pleas can help bring attention to the dire situation at Hanford. Aside from a few feisty community groups and handful of Indigenous activists, there is very little public scrutiny of the clean-up process, which is managed by the Department of Energy and carried out by contractors with shoddy track records, like Bechtel. In the context of renewed support for atomic power as a means of combating climate change, Atomic Days provides a much-needed refutation of the myths of nuclear technology—from weapons to electricity—and shines a spotlight on the ravages of Hanford and its threat to communities, workers, and the global environment.
