Summary

"Demons and Orchids" is a charming novella telling a pair of young Mark and Chloe on their rocky life path. Timely and stunning novel about the drawing between two in a middle class society or rather shyly poverty will absolutely embed into your heart. Both living in big city, owning almost nothing. Their friendship uncover a deeper secret of each other. The streets ceased to seem a gloomy, the simple things around have taken on a certain meaning even. Liminality generates anxiety and confusion by blurring, or a moment out of time. A stirring narrative, utterly revealing their unspoken dreams, desires, hopes. This literature is far from the mainstream, and partly colder than a witch's tits. But you were searching to read something really new, something that would leave a mark on your soul. You hold in your hands exactly what you have been missing today, a sincerely insightful, subtle and fascinating novel.

    Momentum by Charles Dye - Just because an event "has to" happen, some people think that, of course, it will happen. It ain't necessarily so! Ballard had but a few hours to solve the problem, and he knew that the answer was there, before his eyes—if he could see it in time! 
Asteroid 1207 came spinning into the auxiliary ship's viewplate like a glittering black mirage. The eight-mile chunk of rock was the last link in a chain of nine asteroid navigational-markers still needing blinker equipment installation. Minutes later, the Minnow lay neatly berthed in the deepest hollow of the asteroid, the shining wires of its drill grapples anchoring it firmly to the jagged rock. The airlock opened and two men in spacesuits stepped out. They climbed to the top of the nearest hill dragging a platform of tools and equipment; the ragged, close horizons of the asteroid made a hostile background for them as they worked in silence. 
Ballard leaned far over the rough edge of a circular pit, directing the heat radiation beam that melted the foundation plastic smoothly over the walls. He couldn't spare the time to turn his head and watch Walton, but he could follow the other's progress in welding the framework of the blinker tower by the irregular breathing and clanks and buzzes coming through his earphones. He listened to Walton's motions with an automatic alertness developed over six long weeks of tension—ever since the finding of the rotenite nuggets on the second of the light-marker asteroids. The rotenite represented enough wealth to make them among the richest men in the solar system. Or one of them—the richest. That was what Ballard was afraid of.

    Did you know that George Washington had a secret? He wore glasses! While initially embarrassed by his reliance on this reading aid, Washington’s spectacles proved to be nothing short of spectacular in this charming, funny, and little-known story from American history. 
  
The Revolutionary War was over, but Washington’s officers had not received their wages from the Continental Congress in years. Afraid they would never get their money, the officers planned to storm Congress and demand it right away. Luckily, George Washington found out about the plot just in time. He delivered a passionate speech to his men, but they were unaffected. It was only when he struggled to read aloud a letter from Congress and had to put on his glasses, that they realized how much he had sacrificed for their country along with them. The officers dropped their plan and pledged their loyalty to America and to Washington. 
  
Selene Castrovilla’s carefully researched yet playful prose brings George Washington’s more human side to life in this humorous but important story about true American loyalty.

    "The Comanche Perspective" illuminates one of the most infamous events in early Texas history—the Council House Fight. Traditionally portrayed through a narrow, one-sided lens, this book challenges the conventional narrative by exploring the complex web of cultural misunderstandings and mounting tensions between the Penateka Comanche and the Texians. Drawing on diverse perspectives and in-depth research, it reveals how mutual distrust and hostility led to the tragic clash on March 19, 1840. By shedding light on the shared responsibilities and deep-seated grievances that fueled this violent encounter, "The Comanche Perspective" provides a fresh and balanced understanding of a crucial moment in the history of the American frontier.
