  Book 2 of 3: Hardy has a hot lead that could finally provide him with answers to his questions. Together with Madeline, Frank, Dimitrij and Esra, he takes the dangerous journey and finds new allies in Harry and his community. But Hardy's fight against the creature has left traces that are becoming more and more obvious and seem inexplicable. After a brutal attack on Madeline, the community is surprisingly attacked by undead. With an old locomotive, they cross the vast steppes of Russia and repeatedly get into dicey situations. Shortly before Moscow, a ruthless and well-organized group appears in an attack helicopter, who only want one thing - Hardy. Using Madeline and Frank as leverage, Hardy complies with every request from Castor, a sick psychopath. Hardy meets would-be philanthropist Lydia, who resides in a well-protected mansion and apparently knows more about him than he does. Over dinner, the situation between the parties escalates and Hardy finds himself in a seemingly hopeless situation. Meanwhile, a horde of undead makes its way to the supposedly safe estate. The chaos is pre-programmed. Denny N. Dwight's cliché-laden declaration of love to the horror and action films of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s enters its second round. Again, he makes use of numerous quotes and allusions from films of these eras. In addition, the author brings up many topics that have been making the rounds among conspiracy theorists for years.

  Ten drafts to complete a PhD is a book of propulsive purpose. Only 1% of the world's population holds a PhD. But attrition rates remain high.  Tara Brabazon provides a concrete strategy to complete a doctorate.  Structured through ten drafts, the goal is to - iteratively - improve the PhD dissertation or thesis to enable a successful examination. 
  Each chapter of this book offers a guide through a specific draft and focus for the thesis. From transitions to references, from a Significant Original Contribution to Knowledge (SOCK) through to the introduction and conclusion, this book takes a raw, messy and fragmented first draft and creates a PhD of meaning, purpose and excellence.

  What if virginity wasn't a fact—but a strategy? 
  In a world obsessed with chastity, control, and feminine mystique, The Virgin Strategist exposes the raw mechanics behind one of society's most powerful illusions: the untouchable woman. This isn't a book about sex—it's about the absence of it, and the social currency that "not giving in" can generate. 
  From purity culture to OnlyFans rebrands, this book explores how modern women wield the idea of virginity—real or fabricated—as a weapon of control, manipulation, and upward mobility. Whether she's a born-again good girl, a celibate tease, or a single mother suddenly setting moral boundaries, the Virgin Strategist isn't lying. She's surviving. She's performing. And she's winning. 
  Drawing from psychology, sociology, and unapologetic real-world case studies, this brutal analysis dives into:How celibacy can command more power than sexThe female fear of being "too available"Faux purity as brandingLong-distance virginity performancesEmotional withholding and religious re-inventionAnd the emotional toll of always pretending to be "clean" 
  The Virgin Strategist is not for the faint-hearted. It is for readers who want to understand the game behind the innocence, the strategy behind the smile, and the power behind the "no." 
  Dead serious. Laughably real. Disturbingly true.

  Victimization - The Process of...

  Victimization is a complex and multifaceted process that occurs when an individual or group is subjected to harm, oppression, or injustice. It is not merely the result of a singular event but often an ongoing experience shaped by societal structures, personal relationships, and systemic forces. Understanding victimization requires examining both the immediate and long-term effects on those who suffer, as well as the roles played by perpetrators, bystanders, and institutions that enable or prevent such harm. 
  At its core, victimization involves the exercise of power and control, where one party imposes harm—whether physical, psychological, emotional, or financial—upon another. This harm can be intentional, as in cases of abuse, assault, or discrimination, or unintentional, where systems and structures create disadvantages that lead to victimhood. The process of victimization is not always overt; it can be subtle, embedded within social norms, policies, and expectations that gradually erode a person’s autonomy, dignity, and sense of self-worth. 
  One of the key challenges in defining victimization lies in the perception of victims themselves. Some individuals openly recognize and acknowledge their victim status, while others may resist the label due to fear, shame, or social stigma. Society often imposes expectations on victims—either portraying them as weak and helpless or, conversely, blaming them for their circumstances. This duality can make it difficult for individuals to seek support or justice, reinforcing cycles of suffering and silence.
