Still in New York, Katie is working on creating an additional base for herself and her team as Pandora contemplates how she can mess up Calvin's love life. What will happen when Katie meets the woman who means the most to her? And what is Calvin going to do, since the gang in Mexico is not giving up?

The team has to come to grips with a killer being allowed to live. The alien has to deal with the threat of paperwork. Will this effort to allow Juntto to redeem himself work? Or will Katie need to figure out how to kill him for good, when even the angels from above could only place him on ice before? Juntto is used to getting his way, but has he met his match with Angie? He wants to be Emperor of his own country. How can she convince him being an Emperor isn’t all it is cracked up to be? Pandora doesn’t play by the rules, nor will Katie.

What makes a start-up successful? This book, from award-winning business school professors and a tech serial entrepreneur, tells what makes start-ups successful. Instead of telling start-ups what to do, like most start-up books, they share what start-ups should avoid. Along the way, they share small-business start-up success stories gleaned from the How I Built This podcast and their firsthand experiences.

The rules have changed. Now the Damned can go on vacation and even hook up. Without Pandora near him, can Calvin get a little action in Cabo? Unfortunately, the general has a different demand for Katie, and it’s coming from the whole industry. Requested in New York to work with the NYPD, Katie is working a side job or two. Her mercenary skills are useful, and profitable, for other types of hard jobs. And this time, the Damned can help a child. There will be hell to pay when Katie and Pandora come calling, with no quarter for the demons.

T'Chezz is working on an attack, but the team doesn't know about it. After the successful fight in Los Angeles, Katie and Pandora are letting their hair down, arguing over donuts and how much Italian food to eat. Then, their investigator contact calls with alarming intel, and Katie is asked to get up close and personal with the politician to find out what he knows. The answer is something no one expected and will change the course of Korbin's Killers forever.

The War of the Damned is coming to a close, and Moloch has been tasked with winning by Lucifer. Juntto is in frozen storage as Katie and her team try to figure out if he can be saved, and, if so, how? With the war heating up and other demons getting into the action to garner acclaim, the Damned have their work cut out for them. In the end, Moloch stops trying to get others to do the hard work and takes Katie on himself. Can she and Pandora beat the Archdemon?

No time like the present to figure out one's future. That's a nice platitude, but what if you are a demon? And the former Queen of Hell? Pandora saved an angel, Katie, when she could have stayed in hell and all but assured Earth would fall to Moloch. But now, she has a conundrum. Further complicating things, Katie is acting very out of character, and Pandora needs to help her friend find her bearings once more.

Katie makes an executive decision, and the mere idea is driving Korbin to drink. Pandora wants Katie to learn to fight without her extra “oomph”. For now. The military need support, but few on the merc teams trust them. Is Pandora is finally getting somewhere with Katie's love life? There is something long and hard in Katie's hand, and Pandora is annoyed that it's only the stick shift of Katie’s new vehicle. (Oops, poor choice of words.) The war with the enemy is heating up, and there’s a new player who might ruin everyone’s lives.

Katie has decided that too many people are trying to play with power instead of doing what is right. Does she bite off more than she can chew when she makes a statement that upsets the World Council? Even the general is at a loss. However, with Pandora on her side, who is going to win if they argue with them? Whether it is possible or not, plenty try. How much of what Katie does is due to her recent heartache? In the end, the enemy steps up their efforts to bring down these sisters in heart and deed. Do they finally have the answer?

Existing narratives about how we should organize are built upon, and reinforce, a concept of "good management" derived from what is assumed to be a fundamental need to increase efficiency. But this assumption is based on a presentist, monocultural, and generally limited view of management's past. A New History of Management disputes these foundations. By reassessing conventional perspectives on past management theories and providing a new critical outline of present-day management, it highlights alternative conceptions of "good management".
