The Magic of Cats


Book Description

Discover the Cat of the Night and the Cat of the Day. Over the centuries, the relationship between cats and humans has been one of profound change, of both darkness and light. In Ancient Egypt, we worshipped them as the physical embodiment of a goddess. In Medieval Europe, we tortured and punished them for being the familiars of witches. In the twenty-first century, we are obsessed with filming and posting their antics on social media. And while we may think of them as our pets, that doesn’t mean that we are in charge. Far from it. Cats know exactly how to get their humans to follow their orders! They have been an ongoing source of intrigue and mystery throughout human history. They are the stuff of myth and legend, as well as being our best friends. They sit among the stars and curl up on our laps. There is nothing so wonderful as the magic of cats.

Collapse


Book Description

Daniel Miller, a major in Earths fledgling space marines, woke up one morning with a hangover and quickly found himself flung into a civil war. A civil war over the right to mine an essential ore, Iridium, found only out in the asteroid belt. A civil war instigated by ConClaf, an off-world conglomeration of specialist engineering and mining companies which were now as big, powerful, and power hungry as Earths old superpower countries had once been. The war soon became a cruel and nasty one. And Major Miller both saw and took part in some of the worst instances of it, seeing along the way just how quickly modern, technically advanced people could collapse back down to the level of savages. Eventually, everything Major Miller experienced overwhelmed him, and with the help of a medical condition he didn't know he had, he collapsed himself.
