<p>Ambitious young Mage Samara hits a dead end in her research to unlock the secrets of a recently unearthed arcane manuscript. Out of options, she commissions Darian, a warrior of the Manu tribe, to lead her to one of his people's renowned seers. The secret they discover, however, leaves them hunted at every turn as they become entangled in a plot to tear open a portal to Hell, releasing a legion of bloodthirsty demons upon the world. Thrown into a struggle neither fully understand, and complicated by a mutual attraction that neither will acknowledge, the pair must race hundreds of miles before the sun rises on the equinox to head off a cataclysm that only Samara can stop. That's assuming Darian can keep them both alive long enough to reach their goal. But between assassins, demons, fae, and the very land itself trying to kill them, the odds are not in their favor.</p>

Not Your Father's Coast Guard: The Untold Story of U.S. Coast Guard Special Forces

<p>While the Coast Guard's many battles at sea in the War on Drugs are widely known, its participation in the ground offensive is not. Indeed, the Guard didn't just send its cutters to interdict narcotics-laden vessels attempting to bring their illicit cargo into Uncle Sam's territorial waters, it sent ground troops to foreign lands to train their forces and, when necessary, directly engage the enemy. But to create the type of force needed was no small task and would not be without tribulation, both from within and outside the organization. The road traveled to complete the mission was laden with obstacles. This is not a story about the Coast Guard you know, or think you know. Rather, this is a story about the other side, the side that history nearly forgot; not the standard, but the antithesis of standard. It is a story that will undoubtedly make even the most seasoned Coast Guardsmen question their understanding of the organization to which they belong. To be sure, "This is not your father's Coast Guard."</p>

Management & Leadership

<p>When Washington came to the rescue of wealthy and well-connected bankers, both progressives and libertarians objected to the inequity of favoring one industry over others. Beyond the philosophical objections, what happens when governments play favorites with businesses? What are the social and economic consequences of special privilege? In this essay, public-choice economist Matthew Mitchell surveys the various tools that governments use to favor one firm or industry over others, demonstrating that favoritism takes many forms. Well researched and tightly argued, this short essay demonstrates the extraordinarily destructive force of government-granted privilege. Citing both anecdotes and academic research, Mitchell makes a strong case that favoritism misdirects resources, impedes genuine economic progress, breeds corruption, and undermines the legitimacy of both the government and the private sector. Taxpayers, business leaders, and policymakers will profit from a close study of this provocative work.</p>
