Book Description
Joni 'Webb' Webber has spent the last fifteen years in the service of Earth. Currently a senior technician aboard the starship Independence, she has been tasked with keeping one of the most important ships in the fleet operational by any means necessary... so long as it doesn't affect the bottom line or inconvenience a commanding officer.She was just a red shirt after all. Regulations might not specify that a red shirt's life is worth any less than an officer's, but at the end of the day regulations are just words on a screen while orders are orders. Still, despite the turnover rate of a red shirt, it's a better life than being one of the Unassigned or one of the mechanical human-like cogs.Unfortunately, when a message comes in that sends the Independence careening off course to investigate the whereabouts of the starship Flagstaff, not even Webb is prepared for the depths Command is ready to sink to keep Earth's secrets.

Book Description
Earth Technology was no match for the might of the Federation's Advance Research Corps. Humans - those who survived, at least - preferred the term 'Invading Space Army', amid protests about being experimented upon. The Alien scientists found their quibbling about the ethics of non-consenting test subjects tedious, but admitted that the natives were best suited to help the research teams navigate this Deathworld.Vera was absolutely holding a grudge over the massacre of the facility where she worked, but you didn't survive weekly team productivity meetings without learning how to hide emotion and fake compliance. She wasn't a wildlife expert, but the Australian sense of humour bred a wealth of knowledge on how to inflict wildlife on unsuspecting foreigners...The real battle for Earth's liberation wouldn't be fought between armies, but by a scattered handful of survivours fuelled by spite and a basic knowledge of how to survive a world where everything is designed to kill you.

Book Description
National Book Award Finalist: A study of national myths, lore, and identity that “will interest all those concerned with American cultural history” (American Political Science Review). Winner of the American Historical Association’s Albert J. Beveridge Award for Best Book in American History In Regeneration Through Violence, the first of his trilogy on the mythology of the American West, historian and cultural critic Richard Slotkin demonstrates how the attitudes and traditions that shape American culture evolved from the social and psychological anxieties of European settlers struggling in a strange new world to claim the land and displace Native Americans. Using the popular literature of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and early nineteenth centuries—including captivity narratives, the Daniel Boone tales, and the writings of Hawthorne, Thoreau, and Melville—Slotkin traces the full development of this myth. “Deserves the careful attention of everyone concerned with the history of American culture or literature. ”—Comparative Literature “Slotkin’s large aim is to understand what kind of national myths emerged from the American frontier experience. . . . [He] discusses at length the newcomers’ search for an understanding of their first years in the New World [and] emphasizes the myths that arose from the experiences of whites with Indians and with the land.” —Western American Literature

Book Description
A two-time National Book Award finalist’s “ambitious and provocative” look at Custer’s Last Stand, capitalism, and the rise of the cowboys-and-Indians legend (The New York Review of Books). In The Fatal Environment, historian Richard Slotkin demonstrates how the myth of frontier expansion and subjugation of Native Americans helped justify the course of America’s rise to wealth and power. Using Custer’s Last Stand as a metaphor for what Americans feared might happen if the frontier should be closed and the “savage” element be permitted to dominate the “civilized,” Slotkin shows the emergence by 1890 of a mythos redefined to help Americans respond to the confusion and strife of industrialization and imperial expansion. “A clearly written, challenging and provocative work that should prove enormously valuable to serious students of American history.” —The New York Times “[An] arresting hypothesis.” —Henry Nash Smith, American Historical Review
