Beschreibung

The Great War of 189-: A Forecast is a prescient collection that traverses the looming specters of nineteenth-century warfare through an imaginative lens. This anthology delves into the complexities and tensions of a world on the brink of conflict. Each narrative is a profound reflection on war's impact on human consciousness and society, exhibiting a kaleidoscope of styles from speculative journalism to vivid storytelling. The works illustrate hypothetical outcomes of a great war, inviting readers to consider the socio-political ramifications of such an epochal event. The resulting mosaic is both a cautionary tale and a compelling narrative tapestry, with standout entries that challenge the boundaries of fiction and reality. The editors and contributors are distinguished figures, each bringing unique insights from their diverse backgrounds. Among them, David Christie Murray, F. N. Maude, and P. H. Colomb contribute informed perspectives shaped by their deep engagement with contemporary military and political issues. Emerging from a period of intense nationalism and militarism, these authors collectively encapsulate the zeitgeist of a changing world. Aligning with late Victorian fascination with progress and its discontents, the anthology's voices unify under a shared thematic exploration of war's influence on civilization. This anthology offers readers an unparalleled opportunity to explore nuanced narratives that reflect broader cultural anxieties and aspirations of the era. As a comprehensive resource, it serves both as an educational tool and a profound commentary on the enduring human condition. The collection not only presents varied perspectives but invites readers into a dynamic dialogue between these forethoughtful authors, urging contemplation on the entwined fates of innovation, conflict, and societal evolution.

Alpha Nicholas's Little Mate -...

Becky J

“Please let me know when you would like to make the rejection official." Her words hit me like a ton of bricks and despite her acting like the words she just said were nothing important
 
 "Would you like to do it now?" While my head screams yes, my heart burns begging me to say no. How can I go from never wanting my little mate to feeling so torn up at the idea of her leaving? I always assumed that I would meet her and reject her without a care but now that the reality of the situation is staring me right in the face I know that it won't be easy, not one bit.
 
Alpha Nicholas is 28, mateless, and has no interest in changing that. This year, it's his turn to host the annual Blue Moon Ball, and the last thing his wolf expects is to find his mate. Even more shocking is that his mate is 10 years younger—and he can’t ignore how his body reacts to her. He tries to fight the bond, but his world unravels when his guards capture two she-wolves running through his territory.
 
Bonnie has been broken by those closest to her, including her own twin sister. Together with her best friend Lilly, they plan to escape during the Blue Moon Ball, hosted by another pack. But when things go wrong, they’re left uncertain about their future.
 
When they’re brought to Alpha Nicholas, he faces his little mate again and uncovers secrets that will make him want to kill more than one person. Can Alpha Nicholas stop fighting the bond and accept a mate much younger than him? Will Bonnie want him after feeling the sting of his unofficial rejection? Can they both let go of their pasts, or will fate keep them apart?
 
Note: Book 3 in the tetralogy series of the full edition (Chapters 73–103).
