  The war continues...and the body count rises. 
  With humanity joining the alliance to fight the Naxli invaders, the war should be turning in their favor. 
  Unfortunately, the enemy must not have gotten that memo. 
  Across the galaxy, the Naxli strive for total domination. To create a stronger resistance, Gunny Pelletier is sent to work with the various races, but he and his team soon discover that reaching common ground and coordinating military action is far more difficult than they’d imagined. 
  But the Naxli aren’t pausing to give the allied races time to work out the kinks, which means it's time for humanity to go at it alone once again. Bureaucracy must wait while Marines do what Marines do best. 
  Besides, humanity owes the Naxli a few paybacks, even if the rest of the allied races are not willing to join the mission. 
  Get ready for the 11th entry in the Dragon Award-nominated series from USA Today best-selling authors J.N. Chaney and Jonathan P. Brazee.

  Top 10 Short Stories The - H G...

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In the canon of literature one British author is instantly recognizable across several genres for his many classics.   In this volume H G Wells once more demonstrates, across a range of short stories, that his fabled talents remain undimmed.

  Five thousand years ago, when mortals were a mere thought in the mind of their creator, Lucifer was cast out of the immortal realm of Valleyner, doomed to spend his days in the Dark Beyond. After Hanell the Creator, known as the Pale Lion, fashioned the mortal world of Thelsten, a secret concealed from mortals brought on grave consequences. In the remote village of Heedeon, Bellwound Throvar and Arnon Helvug are visited by immortals from both shadow and light. A weapon known as the Mezar is found, believed to house the Luciferian Epistle written before he, the Dove, suffered judgement by the Regents—gods of ultimate power and parents to Hanell the Creator. The two boys set out on a journey with a member of the Nephilim, hoping to find answers to their mysterious past. But secrets and lies do not ask for the right time to strike. A dark tale spreads: whispers that the Dove was expelled by the Pale Lion not because of rebellion, but because of their love for one another. While struggling to confess his true feelings for Arnon, Bellwound realizes that love won't be enough to save them from their own doom—not when it's caused by love itself. As they travel across forests, deserts, and seas, they discover that the ploy of the gods will not only change their own world but will also claim lives, crowns, and kingdoms...

  In Bicycles of the Gods, the main character, Jesse, presents an earthly incarnation of Jesus Christ come to earth in the body of a 12-year-old boy in the company of Xavi, who is the earthly incarnation of Shiva, Destroyer of Worlds, also a 12-year-old boy. The pair stand on a hilltop above the city of Los Angeles contemplating how best to destroy it as a precursor to destroying the entire world to rid it of humanity so it can refresh and rebuild. Xavi is ready to get on with the task The Big Guy, God, has assigned them, but Jesse has a problem. He isn’t sure that everyone deserves to be destroyed. 
  A playful, provocative, and imaginative discursus, Bicycles of the Gods is an affront to racism, sexism, classism, ageism, and heterosexism as it posits a Divine who will not be captured and used by white supremacists for their own purposes. Michael Simms has created an engaging new world order that functions within our familiar one.—Rev. Dr. Moni McIntyre, author of Social Ethics and the Return to Cosmology 
   Set in today’s digital-age Los Angeles, with a delightful cast of characters, including celestial ones “in disguise to make it easier to move through the world,” you will encounter The Big Guy, Maria, Jesse, Xavi, Luke, and Abe, as well as Christine, Mikey, Patrick, the Six Sisters of the Piston, Father Jack, Stefan the Poet, Birdie, Dharma the Dog, and Caruso the Parrot, all of whom are caught up in the tragic-comic battle between the forces of Good and Evil, Light and Darkness. Michael Simms has given us a frolicking and “novel” approach to the Apocalypse of John that offers a front-row seat to the shenanigans of the times in which we are presently living....—Rev. Dr. Charles Davidson, author of Bone Dead and Rising: Vincent van Gogh and the Self Before God
