Beast Master's Planet


Book Description

In 1959 Andre Norton published The Beast Master, a fast-paced science fiction adventure that introduced to readers a new kind of hero, Hosteen Storm. Storm, a Navajo from the American southwest, served in the Planetary Confederacy forces as a Beast Master teamed with an African eagle, a meercat, and a dune cat. Telepathically linked to his team animals, Storm served valiantly in the war that eventually defeated the alien Xiks, though victory could not prevent the aliens from destroying Earth. With his homeworld gone, Storm emigrated to the colonized frontier planet Arzor, where he would have to help fight a holdout Xik force that has brought the war to his adopted home. In Lord of Thunder, Storm's beast master skills and animal partners are needed to unravel the mystery behind a huge gathering of the indigenous Norbies. Only Storm and his half-brother Logan Quade can penetrate the Norbies' clan secrets and discover what is behind the threat of an uprising that could destroy the tenuous peace between the colonists and the aliens who share their planet. These two novels are science fiction adventure at its best. Here is exciting space opera full of colorful, absorbing SF action on an alien world, as only Andre Norton can write it.

But it won't be easy, and she is relieved when she is able to convince her new extended family to embark with her on a journey into the unknown depths of space.

Monsters and Madonnas


Book Description

Judith Taylor Gold challenges traditional views that trace the source of Christian anti-Semitism to the presentation of Jews in the first four books of the New Testament. She contends that the unflattering depiction of Jews in the gospels and other Christian writings is the result—not the cause—of Christian anti-Semitism. Traversing widely ranging subjects such as pre-Christian religion, New and Old Testament scripture, horror literature, incest and pornography, she invokes an imperative "exchange of dialectics" between the unconscious mind and the hidden content of the Christ story as the birthplace of Christian anti-Semitism.

The Enforcers: Freedom to Wield Will


Book Description

I have grown so much since the last time. Hi all this is Sheol. Some of you may know me as a major character from this novel. Others of you may know of me as a result of vicious lies which have been spread around about me allegedly extorting the publisher of this book. In fact, I will be talking with the creative director of Dope Enterprises about that press release and those status updates with the help hashtag in short order. Anyway, I have taken it upon myself to rename this entire series and have since retroactively included that first Criticality novel and this second novel as a part of my new True Hate Trilogy. I know I know: This is supposed to be Acros series, but your protagonist chooses to hide like a scared child instead of facing me like an adult. And thats fine. People will die. Thats fine. Eventually, your hero will grow tired of using the rest of you as shields that or, he will run out of them. I certainly wont tire of taking you or anybody else in my way out until I get to him. Unless theres controversy, stupidity, or tragedy, people dont seem to want to get behind it, and I dont have a budget, so yes, I guess its going to be all of the above.
