Dear Enemy

Jean Webster

Sinossi

Dear Judy:Your letter is here. I have read it twice, and with amazement. Do I understand that Jervis has given you, for a Christmas present, the making over of the John Grier Home into a model institution, and that you have chosen me to disburse the money? Me—I, Sallie McBride, the head of an orphan asylum! My poor people, have you lost your senses, or have you become addicted to the use of opium, and is this the raving of two fevered imaginations? I am exactly as well fitted to take care of one hundred children as to become the curator of a zoo.

Westside Titanomachy

T.J. Deschamps

When I quit my gig as a fortune teller to become Oracle, I should've known there'd be strings attached. Olympic-sized strings. 
After Apollo freed the Titans from Tartarus, we waited for his next move. 
And waited. 
And waited. 
The days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, months turned into years. 
However, we didn’t sit around twiddling our thumbs. We trained. The Supernatural Council of the Americas met. We coordinated with ISEA to prepare without alarming the mundanes. Bringing mundane attention, therefore, belief and the power that yields to Apollo was the last thing we wanted to do. 
Finally, the Moirai, aka the Fates, summoned me and showed me the possible future if I didn’t act before Apollo did. I’m going to be honest. It didn’t look good for anyone except him. I had to challenge him. 
After much deliberation, I came up with a plan. It was simple, really. 
Olympians loved games. 
The ultimate competition, set up in the former prison known simply as the Vault. There’s no way to cheat. The place was sentient. 
The prize was so sweet that no one can resist it, not even Apollo. 
The prize? 
Dominion over Earth.

When he left Texas at the age of seventeen, she never heard from him again, though she's never forgotten him either. She moved in with her uncle, went to college and became a counselor. Her supervisor at the clinic sexually harassed her. Reporting him backfired. Demoted, she's transferred to another branch in the city--to the same district she'd finally managed to escape.Laszlo Jensen, a former SEAL, has spent the last two years recovering from the damage done when his squad's truck drove over an antitank landmine. Six other team-mates were also badly hurt, the seventh--Mouse--dead, in what their team leader Badger Horley realized later had to be a trap set to take them out. He and his team-mate Geir are trying to learn more about Mouse's history. Was the whole squad targeted with that landmine, or just their youngest, newest member? The truth is more disturbing and senseless than they'd anticipated. Who was Mouse really?Minx may be the only person who knew the boy that later became a dangerous, hunted man…
