Summary

In "The Long Arm of the Mounted," James French Dorrance weaves a gripping narrative set against the backdrop of the Canadian wilderness, showcasing the diligent efforts of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. Dorrance employs a vivid literary style that blends rich description with stark realism, effectively capturing both the serene beauty and harsh realities of frontier life. The novel is infused with themes of justice, duty, and the moral complexities faced by those in law enforcement, examining the profound impact of colonialism on indigenous populations during the late 19th century. Dorrance's keen eye for detail and character-driven storytelling invite readers into a world defined by both adventure and ethical dilemmas, resonating with the Western literary tradition while offering a fresh perspective on law and order in a changing landscape. James French Dorrance, an established writer influenced by the rugged landscapes and historical narratives of his native Canada, brings a personal connection to this subject. Having conducted extensive research into the history of the Mounties and their role in Canadian society, Dorrance's own experiences living in remote areas imbue his writing with authenticity. His passion for storytelling, combined with a profound understanding of the complexities of human ethics, moves readers to ponder the responsibilities of those who uphold the law. This book is a must-read for fans of historical fiction and those interested in the intricate relationship between law enforcement and societal change. Dorrance's thoughtful exploration of conscience and duty presents a compelling narrative that prompts reflection, making "The Long Arm of the Mounted" not just a thrilling adventure but also an important commentary on justice and morality in a rapidly evolving world.

They are legends.And they are our prey.Earth is dead. Which leaves us stuck living in atmospheric domes on planets that will kill us if we blink wrong, or run out of fuel. And by ‘fuel’ I mean cerebrospinal fluid, harvested at great risk from gargantuan space monsters.I joined the hunt hoping to get paid and maybe laid, but mostly paid. And I followed a charismatic captain eager to face these beasts and to howl her defiance across the skies of Jupiter. On her crew, I met Q, a woman from the wreck of old Earth, who might have kept me grounded. Or then again, perhaps not.We were ordered to hunt the greatest leviathan of all, and we fought beasts and ships and one another. Then we finally met our nemesis, there above the red heart of that world.

    The Defining Decade for the #Adulting generation—a book that blends storytelling and data to unpack the choices you make in your twenties, why they matter, and how to turn those critical years into a launchpad for the life you want. 
We tend to think of our twenties as a playground for life: A time for low-consequence experimentation and delaying big decisions. But the truth is that while you’re muddling through those years—exploring new cities, dating the wrong people, hopping between jobs—a small shift in your flight path can mean the difference between landing on Mars or Saturn.  
As the data shows, the choices we make (or put off) during this critical decade about our career, marriage, health, friends, even downtime have the greatest impact on how our lives play out. For example, did you know that people who marry between the ages of 28 and 32 have the lowest risk of divorce? And that the average 25 year old has 20 close friends, but this will shrink to 8 after age 40? And that most of us don’t acquire new hobbies after we hit our thirties? 
Rather than prescribing one correct path (who are we kidding, there’s no such thing anyway!), Elizabeth Segran invites readers to think critically and holistically about the life they want to build. With signature warmth and humor, Segran is the guide we all wish we had to show us the way. Blending insightful anecdotes with research from economics, sociology, and political science, The Rocket Years is an empowering exploration of these exciting, confusing, wonderful years.
