Outnumbered in vessels and fighters, the riverers advance for an epic showdown. Who was the force behind the uprising in Heaven against God and His Angels? The written word of the bible acknowledges Satan as the agitator; however, as we find out through mythology and pagan cultures of ancient times, Satan did not act of his own free will.

He was influenced by this entity of true anger, evil and power beyond power. This entity was neither male nor female, living nor dead, flesh nor spirit, good nor evil, merciful nor malicious, alpha nor omega, beginning nor end, hope nor hopelessness. Its name was no name. To encounter it was endless and to understand it was futile. Hades was a sand box compared to the vast wilderness of its Armageddon.

Prior to their redefinition by Ogawa in , the Namban group of tsuba had received scant attention from scholars. In part, this had been due to the lack of a clearly defined categorisation, making systematic attribution of the group difficult and thus preventing coherent study of the corpus as a whole. Dr John Lissenden uses this redefinition as the starting point in his accessible, creative and thoroughly researched study of Namban tsuba, for which he was awarded the degree of Master of Arts in East Asian Studies by the University of Durham in The author has made good use of the research that has been previously done by European and Japanese students, but has also been originally critical of some of the established scholarship.

This approach has allowed him to present interpretations of Namban tsuba that are indeed new. Among collectors and curators, some aspects of this study will be debated? Collectors also will value this study because it presents an innovative categorisation of this previously neglected group of sword guards, and serves to clarify the diversity and relationships of the Namban style.

Now he is returning to his home across the sea, his life as an ambassador to the Torachan empire, and what he expects will be a predictable, uneventful, if not lonely existence.

Signe sets out to find the prize that would assure that Gaea could never again be conquered. Arlen follows her, and the two finally meet.

Will these two high-minded warriors finally realize that each harbors badly flawed perceptions of the other? If so, what profound change will that realization produce in their feelings for each other? In this third book of the series, Signe and Arlen found the Interworld Corps: The former archenemies marry, having fallen in love after achieving the accord depicted in Master of Intrigue. The rigorous training program they conduct defuses lingering feelings of enmity assailing their twelve captains. When a violent clash between a Gaean and a Columbian occurs, Arlen handles the situation brilliantly.

A potential crisis becomes a bonding experience for all twelve men. Twelve ships begin to patrol a vast volume of space.

Sensing that Julian understands her as no one ever has, cognizant that this sometimes cruel partner reaches depths in her nature hitherto never plumbed, she learns to place an astonishing degree of trust in a man who relentlessly increases the demands he makes while raising her to unprecedented heights of pleasure.

Julian develops an irresistible urge to bring his not-fully-initiated partner as his guest, when he attends the yearly gathering of his fellow members of the Order of the Black Lily. Knowing what he risks, he conducts a short but rigorous initiation, employing electronic devices engineered by his brother Michael, and techniques identical to those favored by his brother.

Will Julian avoid suffering the disgrace sure to ensue should Mercedes rebel in the presence of his peers? Will his independent-minded lover consent to participate in the rituals unique to the Order? It would seem that as the Terrans finally ventured from their Planet Earth, and out into other solar systems beyond their own Region , they came into contact with the RAWR star system containing the planet now called Erda.

In ages past, their neighboring planet with three moons suffered long periods of intercontinental warfare, plagues, famines, depopulation, pollution and even some natural disasters. A few of the survivors were found and taken to nearby Erda by some of the first Terran Dark Energy powered hyper-space spheres to reach the solar system.

The Terrans then joined with those from other overpopulated star systems in colonizing and repopulating both planets. They possess no pulse, nor a heartbeat. Their lungs have long since discarded the need to regulate oxygen. Logical thought escapes them, as does such common emotional states as happiness, sadness, or depression. The age-old weaknesses of man, such as lust, greed, or envy, no longer apply. Katera would rather die than allow the Elders to present her at the altar of Kopa Na An. Intent on escaping a similar fate and craving an end to her suffering under the merciless rule of Askinadon, she constructs her own demise.

Invited to take shelter from a blizzard by Alison Haldane, a self-reliant ranchwoman, Manuel performs a service that his hostess regards as the saving of her life.

Before he sets out to capture Chapell, a vicious outlaw, Lesley offers to marry him, so he can gain Gaean citizenship. Wolf refuses, out of concern for her. Will the daring adventurer win amnesty for himself and his crew? Merline gives Austin a job ashore. Will the rescue mission mounted by Merline, Hogar, and Wolf succeed? And if it does, will Signe learn what happened to Hogar and Merline in Columbia? If she does, how will the warrior-woman react? Again, she enters the world of Nirayel.

To an extent, Jesse comes to terms with his delusions, though he remains unprepared to handle the advances of a most frustrating female Wood-Elf, the discovery that there are two of Sarah, and the prophetic ramblings of a benign Demon. Finally reunited in the forth and final book of the Rendering Nirayel series, Sarah One, Sarah Two, Jesse and Borin are guided by the Demon Surripere, as they journey through uncharted lands in a final quest to reclaim Arbitos against all odds, and to free the lost souls of Earth.

The Oath of Fire: And when they die, allows passage of demons to Earth through their lifeless flesh. His duty now torn between the Trust Corps and his own children, he must prove his son innocent of Oath-taking while doing battle with a host of demons that threaten to kill thousands. When an advanced form of artificial intelligence is unintentionally loosed upon the Internet role-playing game entitled Wayward Fates, a quarter-million gamers become redefined as the fantasy characters they play.

Among their number is Borin Krue, whose harrowing journey through a world of dangerously realistic fantasy begins at the end of a long voyage, and his unenthusiastic acquaintance with a Druid. Their obligatory and somewhat precarious association continues to land Borin in an almost constant string of ill-fated circumstances. Intrigue and humor set the pace in Book One of the Rendering Nirayel series. Corporal Krue becomes unwittingly entangled with a large number of friendly and non-friendly types of Faction, Class, Race, and Magic.

Sarah volunteers to make an unauthorized entry into the now militarily controlled project. Sarah opens her eyes to find herself in the alien world of Nirayel. Arbitos is attacked by the Dark Empire. A horde of Dark-elves burst through an exploded section of wall surrounding the city. Sarah returns to reality just as several government agents close in on her home.

The result is a seventeen-year-long gap in memory as a pseudo-Sarah wakes to discover a world where Dark-elves dominate civilization. Jesse Berrach was formerly a paramedic.

He enters a world far removed from that of his hospital room. Confronted with severe conflicts in terms of reality, he begins to doubt his sanity.

Is it possible that the faint flicker of warmth you feel toward a random face in the crowd is in reality an echo of love past? Mind Control and World Domination take form in the successful development of a mind numbing drug created by the son of a Nazi physicist. Al washed up in a remote area of a relatively unknown beach which lay on the central coast of California. Early morning surfing aficionados revived the man, who instantly attacked them for their trouble. Defying his condition, he shook his rescuers off like fleas and babbled an insanely violent tale.

Storms which descended like Ragnarok from heaven. Add in an overwhelming guilt complex, and intense feelings of persecution. Al claimed he had killed a million men, women and children; he ranted that someone had torn him apart limb from limb and sewn him back together like a rag-doll.

As you may note in the introductory paragraph of my first newsletter below, I had a purpose for beginning to publish a newsletter in a monthly format. However, as time went on, I found that I really enjoyed writing it, much more than I thought I would. It has also become quite popular, even with readers who have never read one of my books or stories. Only the highlights of the newsletters are being published here, the rambling part, so to speak.

I have also edited here and there and added explanatory footnotes in places. I devoted much more space in the first newsletters to promotion of my books than I do now. My Progress Report is one of the smallest sections of the latest newsletters. My wife Betty asked me once where I get all the ideas for the topics. So I keep a little notepad by my computer, one by my easy chair and one by my bed. I like receiving letters from fans and readers. I can be e-mailed from my web site www. Have fun and may you always have happy reading and time to pursue what is one of the most pleasurable of human activities.

Well, that all depends on how the word is used. The context, you know. Irreverence is not limited to what many people think-something to do with religion, although that can be a large part of it. Nope, it is a big word with broad meaning. Let me give you a few examples of how it is used:. Its basic meaning is "disrespectful". Now you have an idea of just how broad it can be.

There is a whole world of irreverence in the pot. Our authors gleefully dip their pens into that pot and scribble out their twisted views of this world-or other worlds. Words that can be used in place of irreverent synonyms are: As you can readily see, the majority of the Twisted Tails authors are world class representatives of the word in all its specific meanings; not just a couple. I have gathered together several cheeky authors whose impiety is well known and asked them to grace these pages with words of insolence for your reading pleasure.

As always, there is no genre restriction. The only common element here is Irreverence. The other big deal about the Twisted Tails series that is a must are unexpected endings and sheer quality of writing. Have fun while you cringe at their out-of-line talent at twisting irreverent tales and we hope to see you again-should there be a next time. I have it on good authority that there probably will be a next time, so keep a watch for it.

In the 23rd century a young woman disillusioned with the sterile life of a utopian society is taken on a profound journey of self discovery and personal transformation. It's a land where humans mingle with stubborn dwarves, mysterious elves, and feathered biata against shape-shifting gryphons, necromantic zombies, and silly goblins. It's a land where things are never as they seem; where good and evil are not always clear-cut, and where the strong do not always prevail. In Fortannis, one can learn magic by summoning the power of the flow of order in the world, to tie yourself to the living cycle of all around you.

Or, if your inclinations are darker, you can be tempted by the flow of chaos and entropy, which allows you to create undead abominations and cast substantially more powerful spells in exchange for the corruption of your soul. Hey, the choice is yours. This is the fifth collection of stories which take place in the world of Fortannis. Some of these stories feature characters introduced in the novels and the first four collections, but you don't have to read the earlier ones to enjoy these stories.

You'll enjoy them more if you do, however. I recommend reading the books in the following order to keep the timeline consistent: Titles Available from A clandestine society, financed by a billionaire, has created a new infectious virus capable of inserting genes which determine the way individuals feel about sex.
