Alien Protector's Shadows by Melissa Emerald (Fated Mates of the Winged Barbarians Series 3)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.4 mb
Overview: I’m lost in an alien jungle… and the handsome, 7ft, winged predator stalking me from the shadows has never seen a woman before…

I never imagined that manifesting my dream man into my life would include being abducted, sold at auction, abandoned on an alien planet and almost getting eaten by jungle monsters - but here we are!

When a huge, winged, possessive alien swoops in to save me from the horrors of this planet, I can tell he’s just as curious about me as I am about him. And, while Ezryk manages to learn some of my language, the way he looks at me says more than any words in the galaxy possibly could.

Still, life in the deep of the alien jungle is full of nothing but dangers, and the most perilous one might just be the way I give my heart over to a man I can’t fully communicate with.

Middle-earth Lore: Tolkien's Legends Revealed by Jeb Smith, Lloyd R. Hedberg Jr (Editor)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 36 MB
Overview: There are fans of J.R.R. Tolkien, and then there are those who would trade a genuine elven sword for a chance to visit Middle-earth. Those in the latter camp are certain to find Jeb Smith’s new vividly-illustrated book Middle-earth Lore to be a wonderfully satisfying quest worthy of even the geekiest Tolkienite—the “One book to rule them all.”

Our journey begins by entering Tolkien’s mind, where we will come to realize that he did not consider himself the creator of Middle-earth but its discoverer. Tolkien desired that his tales be digested as historical events. We will then be walked through Peter Jackson's portrayal of The Lord of the Rings in his filmography, where there is much to praise – but also some sacrilegious exaggerations in dire need of mending.

Tunneling deeper than Dwarves mining for Mithril, we'll expose the core—the very root of the mountain—that is the heart and soul of this book: Tolkien’s Legendarium. As we dig, be prepared for an unearthing and examination of many long-held assumptions, including those on subjects from the strength of the Valar, the Mumakil, Balrogs, and the Númenóreans, to the true identity of Gandalf and much more. In the concluding section, Smith provides an overview of the military prowess of Middle-earth's different realms and creatures during The War of the Ring. This chapter delves into the weapons, tactics, units, commanders and number of troops of the various realms, as well as the might of creatures such as trolls and ents and much more, offering a better understanding of the military aspect of Tolkien's renowned saga.

Sweet Poison by Mary Fitt
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 984 kB
Overview: ‘Augustus knows he is inconveniencing a great many people, and he is enjoying this. He will not change his mind.’

Augustus Gale was a man in love—with a woman of genius who had been dead for over a century. So great was his dedication to the memory of playwright Joan Farmer that Augustus bought her ancestral home, steeped himself in the local history, and attempted to enforce a Regency-style lifestyle on his entire household. This macabre devotion poisoned his life as well as the lives of his son and daughter, his beautiful second wife, and even his devoted mother. Yet it was a strictly confined historical obsession. When a party of archaeologists sought permission to excavate a rare Roman mosaic pavement on Augustus's land, disrupting his homage to Joan, they were met with a blunt, contemptuous and destructive refusal. It might be said that Augustus Gale was a man who “asked for it”, but whose was the hand that fed him the poison?
