  Book 4: The MavericksNot the size to blend in anywhere … Not that he cared … Beau heads to Alaska to a cult that kidnaps women to flesh out its numbers. One woman in particular has gone missing. When her father calls in a favor, Beau is asked to fit into the cult community. Only his style is guns blazing, and he doesn’t bother counting the dead … Danica was late for her college class when a hood was thrown over her head, and then she was tossed into the back of a vehicle. Days later, she wakes up on a dirt floor of a cell with only a grate above her head. But she’ll take it as she’s nothing if not innovative. As soon as she escapes her prison, she runs into the brick wall that’s Beau. He’d good at giving orders. She’s not so good at following them … With dozens of lives at stake in a sex-trafficking scheme, neither Beau nor Danica had expected it would be action all the way for them as they battle to free other women and to stay alive–together.

  "Man's soul has always been a battleground; now the battlefield is the atom itself."
  
  Written on the eve of WWI, this startlingly prophetic novel famously predicted the invention of "Atomic Bombs." Wells imagines a world where the discovery of a radioactive element, Carolinum, grants humanity limitless power—and the means for total destruction.
  
  The Nuclear Prophecy: Decades before the Manhattan Project, Wells described bombs dropped from "aeroplanes" that created "continuous" radioactive explosions, rendering cities uninhabitable.
  
  From Ruin to Utopia: After a devastating "Last War," survivors gather to dismantle nationalism and currency, forging a unified World State fueled by clean atomic energy.
  
  A Modern Warning: A profound meditation on whether human political structures can survive the immense power of our own technology.
  
  Witness the birth of the atomic age. Purchase "The World Set Free" today.

  Ms Renfield and the Inheritance...

  I'm stunned to learn my family's “inheritance” is servitude to an ancient, arrogant vampire. No thanks! Except now my friend might be his next meal, so I cut a deal: I’ll work for him—if he only drains the serial killers we catch. 
  I met my father exactly once—at a café in Transylvania. He went by the name "Renfield," scribbled in strange ledgers and muttered weirdly about “the master.” 
  Years later, I’m summoned to a remote castle in the Carpathian Mountains. Supposedly my father has left an inheritance.   
  What could go wrong? 
  Try everything. My “inheritance” turns out to be a new career—or should I say forced servitude: I'm to take over for my father as the next in a long line of servants to an arrogant, centuries-old vampire named Alexandru. 
  Hard pass. 
  Except Alexandru doesn’t take no for an answer. He follows me home to Ohio, where people I love are looking like dinner to him. To save them, I cut a deal: I’ll manage his vampire affairs—if he only feeds on people who deserve it.  
  Serial killers, to be exact. 
  Now my spreadsheets and his hunting skills have one goal: catch murderers before Alexandru loses control. 
  But surviving the killer might be the easy part, because even though Alexandru is a monster who sees humans as livestock, nothing in my life has prepared me for his dark magnetism...

  Arch Rascal An - From their pens...

  Knut Hamsun

  Knud Pedersen was born in Lom in the Gudbrandsdal valley of Norway on the 4th of August, 1859 in what was then the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway.  He was the fourth son of seven children born to poor parents who, when he was three, were invited to an uncle’s farm to work his land. 
  When he was nine he moved away from his family to help another uncle who ran a post office.  Whilst with him he was beaten and starved which manifested in a series of chronic nervous difficulties.  The treatment endured for six years until he managed to escape back to Lom. 
  For some time he now took any job that was available to him, including store clerk, peddler, shoemaker's apprentice, sheriff's assistant, elementary-school teacher and ropemaker's apprentice.  At about the same time, with the wealth of these gained experiences, he began to explore his literary talents. 
  In 1877 he published his first book ‘The Enigmatic Man: A Love Story from Northern Norway’, others soon followed but real success only came in 1890 with ‘Hunger’, an influential work for later novelists with its internal monologue and bizarre logic.  His work is often associated with Pantheism; where nature and mankind are unified in a strong and often mystical bond.   
  His work was so influential that in 1920 he was awarded the Novel Prize for Literature. 
  Shortly after this point his works became fewer and his interests darker.  During World War II he became a fervent admirer of the Nazi’s, even meeting Hitler, even though German armies had overrun Norway.  With the war’s end he was detained on charges of treason.  His old age was apparently the primary reason given for Hamsun receiving only a fine.  Other reasons also sought to excuse his abhorrent behaviour but it was clear that whilst he was loved for his literature he was detested for his politics and morals. 
  His literary canon includes more than 20 novels, a poetry collection, short stories, plays, a travelogue, other works of non-fiction and essays. 
  Knut Hamsun died on the 19th February 1952 in Grimstad. He was 92.

  Morgue Ship

  "Morgue Ship" by Ray Bradbury is a science fiction short story, which appeared in the summer 1944 issue of Planet Stories and is therefore eligible for the 1945 Retro Hugos.
  "Morgue Ship" is short, only six pages long, but Bradbury perfectly manages to capture the atmosphere aboard the morgue ship with its clinical interior, its shelves full of dead soldiers, the churning blood pumps and whirring machinery, in such a short space. Bradbury also manages to pack the horrors of war in space, the exploding ships and spinning dead bodies among the wreckage, into just a few paragraphs. Finally, Bradbury captures overwhelming weariness of Sam Burnett, weariness with his grisly task, weariness with the war and the feeling that because Burnett is not a combatant, he is not contributing to the war effort.
