Book excerpt: In a land overshadowed by death, fifteen year-old Nell's uncanny resemblance to Princess Joan brings her to act as her double -- what young girl wouldn't want to leave a life of poverty and pretend to be a princess? But when the plague catches up to the royal entourage, thwarting the King's plan for the princess to marry the Prince of Castile and seal an alliance between their kingdoms, Nell's life could change forever. Princess Joan's brother The Black Prince schemes to make the wedding go on declaring Nell will no longer double for Joan, she will become the princess and dupe Prince Pedro into marriage! With the aid and protection of a quirky band of friends -- a Spanish minstrel, a monk, a gravedigger, a band of merchants -- Nell must evade not only the Black Prince, a practitioner of the dark arts, but the plague as well, as she fights to return to the King and country. Based on historical truth, Dahme beautifully captures the dark terror of a Plague-infested fourteenth century Europe, while bringing to life the daily existence of medieval life for young adult readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Plague Wars began in 2084 due to the Climate Crisis which caused many diseases to spring up worldwide. The World Federation (WF) sent Peacekeeper troops to hot spots around the world to try and reduce tensions among fighting countries. The United Americas Continent (UAC) sent soldiers from Fort Leonard Wood (FLW) to India to prevent the Chinese from forcing India to join the Eurasia Federation under the control of the autocratic leader, Premier Tung Wing. Colonel Luis Martin served with soldiers under General Bradley Clark from FLW in the disputed Ladakh Region in northern India. The Chinese Army invaded India from the north forcing the Indian Armed Forces and the WF Peacekeeper troops to retreat after a fierce battle as they tried to prevent the capital city, New Delhi, from falling into Chinese hands. Colonel Martin was tasked with a mission to rescue the UAC Ambassador and the WF Director-General Envoy in New Delhi from capture by the Chinese and take them to the nearest military base in Jaipur to return home. It didn’t take long for the Chinese to find them and attack. In the UAC, conditions have not gotten any better since Colonel Martin and the soldiers from FLW left to fight overseas two years ago. The Climate Crisis continued to worsen even faster than predicted. Humans were still facing extinction unless President Ricardo Carlos could implement the solutions he promised to save humanity and the world. UTOPIAS -The Plague Wars is a prequel story in the UTOPIAS Dystopian Series. It sets the stage for the beginning of Book Zero which explains in realistic and explicable detail how Climate Crisis began and what it will take to reverse the environmental damage caused by dependence on fossil fuels leading to mankind’s Sixth Mass Extinction Level Event. UTOPIAS - Books 1 & 2 continue the story when President Carlos and others wake up in 2199 after sleeping for one hundred years. The world has changed, but the future with androids and rightwing militia groups is still unpredictable.

Download or read book Merits of the Plague written by Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The preeminent meditation on plagues and pandemics from the Islamic world, now in English for the first time A Penguin Classic Six hundred years ago, the author of this landmark work of history and religious thought—an esteemed judge, poet, and scholar in Cairo—survived the bubonic plague, which took the lives of three of his children, not to mention tens of millions of others throughout the medieval world. Holding up an eerie mirror to our own time, he reflects on the origins of plagues—from those of the Prophet Muhammad’s era to the Black Death of his own—and what it means that such catastrophes could have been willed by God, while also chronicling the fear, isolation, scapegoating, economic tumult, political failures, and crises of faith that he lived through. But in considering the meaning of suffering and mass death, he also offers a message of radical hope. Weaving together accounts of evil jinn, religious stories, medical manuals, death-count registers, poetry, and the author’s personal anecdotes, Merits of the Plague is a profound reminder that with tragedy comes one of the noblest expressions of our humanity: the practice of compassion, patience, and care for those around us.
