KDP Print: This book was originally written about and published through Createspace. Since then, Createspace has been replaced by KDP Print. The author has migrated his paperback books to the new KDP Print platform and can confirm that the layout guidance in the book applies equally well to KDP Print as it did to Createspace, and always has done for Lulu. 2nd Edition: EXTENDED! REVISED! UPDATED! Publishing a print book with KDP Print, Createspace or Lulu is fairly easy. But unless you know how to lay out a book, AND how to achieve the results you want in your word processor, the result won't do your writing justice. In this guide, I will show you how to format your book's interior: * What you need to know about book layout and typesetting to get professional results. * How to use Microsoft Word 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 &amp; 2013 to achieve those results (with notes for Word 2003 users) * eBook tips: how to format your manuscript in Word so you can move easily between print, Kindle, ePUB, and Smashwords editions. (Note: this is not a comprehensive guide to building eBooks). *NEW! A workflow for publishing a book through Createspace. Follow the workflow and use the cross-references to find the detailed discussion later in the book for each step. *NEW! Answers to the questions about paperback publishing that I am often asked by my book-formatting clients, such as: how to pick the right trim size, how to set pricing, what kind of ISBN you should use, and how to link print and kindle editions on Amazon. *NEW! The correct way to use paragraph and page breaks in Word. *NEW! Advanced topics: add that final level of polish with subjects such as kerning &amp; OpenType settings, using Unicode code points in paperbacks and eBooks, dot gain &amp; color spaces, faux glyphs and how to avoid them, the perils of transferring Word files between Mac &amp; Windows, and how to republish your back catalog. *NEW! Many more screenshots and diagrams (now 76). All are reproduced in the paperback and eBook editions of this book, and are also available from the book’s website. A note for Mac users. Screenshots are taken from Windows editions of Word, and references made to any significant Mac differences (specifically: keyboard shortcut differences, selecting fonts, and the PDF print capability built into OS X). While I have worked with Mac users to research the second edition, in the interest of honesty I declare that although I have laid out dozens of paperback books using Windows editions of Word, I have not produced any using a Mac. Hence there is a Windows-first bias to the text and images.

2566 A.D. Five centuries ago, Earth sold a million children into slavery, the price of protection from the regional superpower. One group of slaves was bio-engineered and augmented to fight for alien officers as the Human Marine Corps. To most alien eyes the Corps is a joke: plasma fodder equipped with third-rate cast-offs and so stupid that they go off to die actually believing they are genuine warriors. But there are others who look deeper and see potential. To them the human Marines could be the wellspring of something far greater… FREEDOM! Unlike the other Marines on board the troop ship Beowulf, when eighteen-year old Arun McEwan is woken from cryo to board an enemy ship, he already knows he will survive: his destiny to lead the Human Legion has been foretold. But there are other factions who will stop at nothing to bring about their rival dreams for humanity’s future. Isolated on a ship rocked by mutiny, betrayal, and murder, Arun must find new allies amongst the most detested of the Navy crew: the freaks…

Indigo Squad (The Human Legion)

As Major Arun McEwan readies the newly formed Human Legion to retake his home planet of Tranquility, loyalties are wafer thin and morale low. Even his closest friends harbor poisonous secrets. And he needs everyone beside him, because the Legion must strike boldly and win allies rapidly if it is to defeat the overwhelming numbers of an enemy led by Arun’s old nemesis. What the Legion discovers will scar Arun’s heart, and change the meaning of the word ‘human’ forever. JOIN THE LEGION NOW! You can join the fight for freedom directly with the third book in the international bestselling Human Legion series, without needing to read the preceding two books. For maximum reading pleasure, though, start with one of the earlier books.

Or will he have to compromise with humanity's masters, the White Knights, who insist that his children must submit to the cruelest of all alien rituals: the Cull? Arun prepares to gamble an all-or-nothing strike on the imperial capital. But nothing is as it first appears when you wage war against the White Knights…

When your worst enemy has your back……you know the mission is doomed from the start. Sergeant Osu Sybutu of the Legion had a simple mission. Take five men and travel unobserved to a location in the capital where he would deliver a coded phrase to a contact. Simple, that is, except for the fact that there was a war going on, and all the different factions he had to pass by on the way would cheerfully shoot him on sight. And that was only if the planet didn’t kill him first.Militia Sergeant Vetch Arunsen’s task, however, was far more complex. Shepherd a group of hated rivals across the frozen wastes, keeping them safe from everyone who wanted to kill them, which was pretty much everyone. Including the oddball troopers under Arunsen’s own command, who would happily shoot the Legion soldiers if given the slightest opportunity.Legion versus Militia. Joint defenders of the Federation. In theory. Their mutual loathing, however, could burn the armor plate off a battleship. For rival sergeants Sybutu and Arunsen, there’s only one way their squads could survive trekking across the iceworld of Rho-Torkis.Legion and Militia.
