Navigating the Spanish Lake examines Spain's long presence in the Pacific Ocean (1521-1898) in the context of its global empire. Building on a growing body of literature on the Atlantic world and indigenous peoples in the Pacific, this pioneering book investigates the historiographical "Spanish Lake" as an artifact that unites the Pacific Rim (the Americas and Asia) and Basin (Oceania) with the Iberian Atlantic.

My ambition for "First Contact Chaos" began simply enough: two alien science vessels arrive, setting the stage for the eventual "lights out" for our entire galaxy. It took four books to achieve that galactic blackout, but "The War of the Worlds" and "Forbidden Planet" were my guiding lights. Both of those stories uniquely tap into the fear of the unknown and wisely avoid tropes like superheroes, genius scientists, creating weapons, time machines, or divine intervention. That approach helped me keep all four books grounded in hard science. While I didn't plunge the galaxy into darkness in ...

The stories for this annual collection of the Mystery Writers of America were selected for their strange and exotic locales. Breathtaking suspense, cold-blooded crime, and challenging twists of plot—set in the four corners of the world—make this recording a chilling audio experience.

The vault was deemed impenetrable—until it wasn’t. On a quiet weekend in February 2003, a crew of highly skilled thieves pulled off the largest diamond heist in history. Located in Antwerp, Belgium—the epicenter of the world’s diamond trade—the target was a vault protected by motion detectors, seismic sensors, infrared heat detectors, and over a dozen layers of physical security. Still, the thieves broke in, stole more than $100 million in diamonds, gold, and jewels, and walked away clean—at least for a while. In The Antwerp Diamond Heist: The Perfect Crime (2003), true crime author James G.

Why did we form Kingdom Business Mentors? As many Christians have been erroneously taught that wealth is something evil and not meant for the children of God, we align with biblical scripture that we were born to rule, reign, and prosper. We believe that abundance is the ONLY way to be sustainably generous, so we, the Body of Christ, can be the catalyst to help heal our hurting and dying world. We believe that God has opened the business platform as the extension of the Church for a great harvest in the last days, increasing the Kingdom of God, day by day.

Bill James is the alter ego of two South African authors who have drunk together, sold books together, and now finally written a book together. That does not make it a bromance. Despite their having collaborated on a steamy sex scene. Their first book has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Set in Johannesburg in the near future, Big Day Out is a mad mercenary romp through the dystopian nightmare that Covid-19 might have become. Might still become, if we don't keep our self-appointed leaders on a very short leash. Good old-fashioned don't-give-a-toss action. You don't like it, don't buy it. ...
