Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Search for Tomorrow's Treasures invites you aboard the starship Aries to share in the thrilling journey of three beautiful surveyors and their mischievous computer sidekicks. This space adventure is akin to the writings of Anne McCaffrey. Captain Beth Griffin enjoys cataloging the great curiosities of space. A binary star system creates celestial music and a nebula cluster paints shifting masterpieces with elemental dust. Beth is initially reluctant when Axel, her mobile quantum navigator, interrupts her with news of a rogue planet displaying intriguing stone formations. That is, until she realizes that the stone formations are perfect copies of the Egyptian pyramids and the planet doesn't belong in the dying dwarf system. She's stumbled upon an alien museum recording the great achievements of sentient races and its historian, Goren is strangely familiar. He reveals that her value is not limited to protecting her planetary teams already working on Citron and Sentara. Beth must decide whether to follow this mysterious alien or continue her mission as is. Unfortunately her planetary leaders, Christine and Rose are already in great danger. Commander Christine Solski lands on Citron with great expectations of a bountiful survey. The planetary rings are blocks of faceted minerals, the largest mountain range is huge polish crystals, and at night when the sun goes down the oceans and landscapes glow with gemstone dust. Even the animals have jewel adaptations. But Andre, her new husband, wants her position and power to rule Citron. Fortunately Christine has untapped inner resources and the planet has a few secrets that Andre didn't factor into his schemes. Rose Cavanagh and her best friend and co-leader Amy Chen are as different as they are loyal to each other. With their motley band of eccentric surveyors, they arrive on the tropical island paradise called Sentara with all their defenses down. The humanoid natives want help colonizing this planet and Rose's team is there to survey its compatibility with Earth. But the true natives of Sentara have given these humanoid imposters the power to take what they want and Rose's team is at the top of their list.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 2015 Florida Book Award Winner, Silver MedalThe Union navy cripples the rebel defenses at Port Royal, South Carolina and panicky plantation owners flee, abandoning their crops, property, and 8,000 slaves. Neither planter nor slave realize November 7, 1861, would mark the end of life as they know it. The army confiscates a bumper crop of contraband Sea Island cotton and hires the slaves-also labeled contraband-to harvest it for the United States Treasury. Sensing a chance at freedom, the Negroes rejoice, recalling that day of awareness as 'The day the big gun shoot'. But Crecie, a field hand and medicine woman, is unable to dispel centuries of brain-washed enslavement--fearing the bold intrusions thrust upon her routine existence. As the Civil War rages on the mainland, the military, abolitionists, and U.S. Government provide schools, wages, and religious freedom for the islands' contraband. But to the workers' dismay, the new arrivals also bring troubling times, subjecting them to scorn, violence, and death. As a skilled worker, Crecie struggles amid the chaos, longing for the master's return and the plantation's orderly regimen. As she grapples with the abstract concept of freedom, events of the war lead to a personal crisis. If Crecie and her family are to survive, she must make gut-wrenching decisions: learn how to navigate the unjust new labor system or take advantage of once-unimaginable opportunities. Will she choose independence-claiming her own mind, her own labor, her own body Or will she cling to tradition, fostering her paternalistic beliefs upon her Northern employers, regarding the white power structure as 'new masters' Free to Be is the story of one woman's emotional battle to adjust to an altered life.…
