Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the colony planet of Terra Nova, Carrera has achieved his revenge, destroying those who had destroyed his life by killing his wife and children in a terrorist strike. And, with this help of his second wife, he has thwarted an attempted coup that would have restored the rule of the oligarchy and undone his hard-won victory. But his fight is not over yet... The problem of the Tauran Union's control of the Transitway between Terra Nova and Earth remains, as does the problem of the nuclear armed United Earth Peace Fleet, orbiting above the planet. The Taurans will not leave, and the Balboans¾a proud people, with much recent success in war - will not tolerate that they should remain. And yet, with one hundred times the population and three or four hundred times the wealth, the Tauran Union outclasses little Balboa in almost every way, even without the support of Old Earth. Sadly, they have that support. Everything, everyone, will have to be used to finish the job of freeing the country and, if possible, the planet. The children must fight. The old must serve, too. And the women? This is their story, the story of Balboa's Tercio Amazona, the Amazon Regiment. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Sovereign Galashin Mathis, the leader of the Amazons, could do nothing but keep sending her sisters and brothers to battle even when their enemies seemed to be infallible and invincible. Lord Scalemon’s army of demons and monsters are relentless in their attacks, brutal in annihilating the Amazons, and ruthless in fulfilling their master’s wishes. With wave after wave of demon forces attacking them from all directions, Sovereign Mathis’ brave warriors have no time to spare to mourn their fallen comrades. They have no choice but to continue fighting against the onslaught of evil threatening to take over their land. Meanwhile, a lost soul yearns to redeem his family’s honor and bring back his lineage’s glory.

Consumed by his desire to avenge his name and seek vengeance from all who wronged him, Mandel does not even think twice when he forges ahead in his journey of destruction and chaos. About the Author Eric Fluellen immensely loves reading, with his favorite genres being fantasy and science fiction. However, he tries to stretch his horizons by reading books like Treasure Island and Moby Dick. Fluellen considers himself a movie buff, ranging from periods of the 1940s to the present time, with varied genres. He is interested in politics and trying to encourage people to exercise their right to vote. It is an essential part of citizenship.

Book excerpt: The Amazon is a land of superlatives. The complex ecosystem covers an area about the size of the continental U.S. The Amazon River discharges 57 million gallons of water per second--in two hours, this would be enough to supply all of New York City's 7.5 million residents with water for a year. Its flora and fauna are abundant. Approximately one of every four flowering plant species on earth resides in the Amazon. A single Amazonian river may contain more fish species than all the rivers in Europe combined. It is home to the world's largest anteater, armadillo, freshwater turtle, and spider, as well as the largest rodent (which weighs over 200 lbs.), catfish (250 lbs.), and alligator (more than half a ton). The rainforest, which contains approximately 390 billion trees, plays a vital role in stabilizing the global climate by absorbing massive amounts of carbon dioxide--or releasing it into the atmosphere if the trees are destroyed. Severe droughts in both Brazil and Southeast Asia have been linked to Amazonian deforestation, as have changing rainfall patterns in the U.S., Europe, and China. The Amazon also serves as home to millions of people. Approximately seventy tribes of isolated and uncontacted people are concentrated in the western Amazon, completely dependent on the land and river. These isolated groups have been described as the most marginalized peoples in the western hemisphere, with no voice in the decisions made about their futures and the fate of their forests. In this addition to the What Everyone Needs to Know� series, ecologist and conservation expert, Mark J. Plotkin, who has spent 40 years studying Amazonia, its peoples, flora, and fauna. The Amazon offers an engaging overview of this irreplaceable ecosystem and the challenges it faces.
