When last we left our intrepid heroes . . .
Adam Cain had been taken captive by the new mutant queen of the flesh-eating Sol-Kor invaders, while his trusty sidekick Riyad Tarazi made it safely back to the Milky Way.
Now Riyad sets out on a desperate mission to rescue Adam. His task appears impossible, as Adam is being held in another universe cut off from our own. The only person who can help Riyad is the immortal mutant genius Panur . . . who's disappeared somewhere in the galaxy with Adam's daughter Lila. In his search of the mutant, Riyad enlists the help of Lila's mother, the sensual Arieel Bol, along with the uninvited-yet always entertaining-Sherri Valentine.
Along the way, he picks up a menagerie of assorted characters, as he seeks to stay one step of galactic forces out to stop him at all costs. And those against him include both the Juireans . . . and the Humans! Neither wants to see a link between the two universes reestablished. To them, allowing Riyad to succeed would mean the deaths of untold trillions of innocent creatures.
Prince Monrose wants only two things: to become a commoner and to marry a farmer's daughter.
War Mage Cassan's purpose in life is to serve his queen, the woman who plucked him from the ashes of his home and saved him from his own magic.
Unfortunately for Cassan, today serving his queen means playing bodyguard to her romantic son. When they set out to fetch Monrose's intended bride for the queen's inspection, Cassan doesn't expect much danger. He certainly doesn't expect Monrose to insist they save his would-be father-in-law from a deadly creature of dark magic.
But Monrose is his prince and orders are orders, even if they come from a foolish dreamer with an inadequate sense of self-preservation.
Adam Cain is an Alien with an Attitude . . .
As all the great forces in the galaxy gather for one final, epic battle to determine who will rule the Milky Way, massive star fleets from the Juireans and the Humans converge on ground-zero-the Kracori homeworld of Elision. Against such overwhelming firepower, it's a given that Elision will be destroyed-unless the Kracori and their reluctant allies, the Klin, can mount a surprise end-around defense of the planet. At stake in this galactic free-for-all is nothing less than the survival of the all the species involved. Fail . . . and your race dies as well.
And racing the clock ahead of the coming conflagration is Adam Cain and his team of aliens and ex-Navy SEALs, up to their necks in danger and adventure as they attempt the rescue of Riyad Tarazi from a Kracori prison-before all hell breaks loose on the planet Elision.
For this desperate mission, Adam has recruited many of his old friends from past adventures, including the aliens Kaylor and Jym. And of course, the feisty and always vivacious Sherri Valentine is along as well, bringing with her a unique, down home Kentucky brashness that readers in the past have found 'humanizing' to the Saga.
Everything is going great in the Milky Way Galaxy. Adam's immortal mutant alien daughter Lila is running the Expansion, and the Orion-Cygnus Union is experiencing its first period of peace and tranquility since its founding. Yet things are not as idyllic as they seem . . .
A new alien threat has entered the galaxy, bringing with it a level of pragmatic barbarism unmatched by anyone in the Milky Way. Add to this, an ancient home-grown power has returned, curious to see the results of its three-billion-year-long galactic experiment.
Now Adam Cain and his team are forced into an elaborate contest against a variety of other species to see who in the galaxy lives or dies. To face his greatest challenge, Adam receives the help of some old enemies, including the mutants Panur and the former Sol-Kor queen, J'nae. But as we find out, even immortals are over-matched against this ancient entity and the invaders from Andromeda.
Yet as so many before them have done, the one thing these new aliens have underestimated: Adam Cain and his friends . . . Oops!
For many years, Britain tried to impose its own laws on the peoples it conquered, and English common law usually followed the Union Jack. But the common law became less common after Britain emerged from the Seven Years' War as the world's most powerful empire. At that point, imperial policymakers adopted a strategy of legal pluralism: some colonies remained under English law, while others retained much of their previous legal regimes.
As legal historian Christian R. Burset argues, determining how much English law a colony received depended on what kind of colony Britain wanted to create. Policymakers thought English law could turn any territory into an anglicized, commercial colony; legal pluralism, in contrast, would ensure a colony's economic and political subordination. Britain's turn to legal pluralism thus reflected the victory of a new vision of empire-authoritarian, extractive, and tolerant-over more assimilationist and egalitarian alternatives. Among other implications, this helps explain American colonists' reverence for the common law: it expressed and preserved their equal status in the empire. This book, the first empire-wide overview of law as an instrument of policy in the eighteenth-century British Empire, offers an imaginative rethinking of the relationship between tolerance and empire.
When Adam Cain's old bounty-hunting friends, Summer, Monty, and Tidus, show up searching for the most-wanted fugitive in the galaxy, their efforts are thwarted by another old friend, Copernicus Smith. The deep-cover spy has his own reason for finding the fugitive, and it's not to earn the million-credit bounty offered for his capture. The elusive alien absconded with billions of credits from his homeworld just before the Mad Aris Kracion irradiated the planet. And now it seems as though the entire galaxy is looking for him.
What no one knows is that the stolen money is earmarked for a deadly plan to finance a new threat to the galaxy, one more covert, more diabolical, more insidious than any before it. And now that Adam's old friends are involved that means he is, too, whether he likes it or not.
Once again, it's a mad-dash race to find the treasure, stop the bad guys and save the galaxy. Sounds daunting, doesn't it. In reality, it's just another day in the lives of our heroes, Adam Cain, Sherri Valentine, and Riyad Tarazi.
Adam Cain is an Alien with an Attitude . . .
His Adventures Continue.
The war with the Sol-Kor within their home galaxy has finally begun, spearheaded by the revenge-seeking Hal'ic, whose massive fleet of warships is commanded by none other than Admiral Andy Tobias.
In the meantime, Adam Cain and his gang are stranded on Kor, trying to survive the battering the planet is taking at the hands of the Hal'ic. But soon they'll find their way to Silana, the second capital of the Sol-Kor, to where Queen J'nae has taken Panur, along with the prototype trans-dimensional starship the Star Panther.
The enemies of the Sol-Kor can win the war, if Adam and his team are able to stop J'nae from building a fleet of Star Panthers, even as the greatest space battles in history are becoming commonplace within this far-distant galaxy. This is epic action, epic heroism, epic adventure on the grandest of scales. And only as Adam Cain and his band of Human wrecking balls can do it.
The very survival of the universe is at stake. If J'nae can build her fleet then no one is safe. Her reign of terror will extend from the mountains of Kor, all the way to the blue skies of planet Earth.
And only Adam Cain can stop her.
The Woman: She was a beautiful, gifted descendant of Lady Astor. But Elizabeth Haysom was also a spoiled, willful daughter of privilege.
The Lover: He was the brilliant young son of a German diplomat. But his love for Elizabeth would draw Jens Soering into a web of madness and murder.
The Murder: When Elizabeth's parents were found savagely butchered in their elegant Virginia country home, she and Jens fled to Europe-igniting an international manhunt that spanned three continents.
The Trial: The sensational courtroom drama that followed painted a twisted portrait of two golden youths consumed by hatred and perverse fantasies. Elizabeth's startling testimony-and intimations of acts and desires that went beyond mere murder-would reveal a tangled web of dark secrets and deadly obsession.
Contains mature themes.
Gregg Herken's Brotherhood of the Bomb is the fascinating story of the men who founded the nuclear age, fully told for the first time
The story of the twentieth century is largely the story of the power of science and technology. Within that story is the incredible tale of the human conflict between Robert Oppenheimer, Ernest Lawrence, and Edward Teller-the scientists most responsible for the advent of weapons of mass destruction.
How did science-and its practitioners-enlisted in the service of the state during the Second World War, become a slave to its patron during the Cold War? The story of these three men, builders of the bombs, is fundamentally about loyalty-to country, to science, and to each other-and about the wrenching choices that had to be made when these allegiances came into conflict.
Gregg Herken gives us the behind-the-scenes account based upon a decade of research, interviews, and newly released Freedom of Information Act and Russian documents. Brotherhood of the Bomb is a vital slice of American history told authoritatively-and grippingly-for the first time.

Introducing the most badass team of galactic troubleshooters in the galaxy.
Adam Cain . . . the alien with an attitude is back!
Adam Cain is back as the head of Cain's Crusaders, a small band of super-secret agents working for the head of the galactic Expansion, doing the dirty jobs no one else wants to do. Adam's latest mission is to rescue Arieel Bol, an important religious figure from the planet Formil, who just happens to have supernatural powers, or so it seems. And to top that, she's also is the most beautiful alien in the galaxy. Yet when a 30-million-credit bounty is placed on their heads, Adam and Arieel will have to use all of their combined 'powers' to survive.
Back for another round of space opera adventures are Adam's teammates Riyad Tarazi and Sherri Valentine, along with the arch-villain Nigel McCarthy. And don't forget about the Klin and the Kracori, the two races consumed with an insane desire to destroy the Earth once and for all. They're back and just as nasty as ever.
The ancient Aris helped created nearly all advanced life in the galaxy. But they weren't alone. Now the long lost Children of the Aris have resurfaced, freed from their Quantum prison.
And now, they're on a mission to reconstitute their race, supplanting all other life in the Milky Way. And to that end they need the mysterious Formation device. To get it, they've kidnapped the super mutants, Panur and Lila. Little do they know, Panur is no longer immortal and he will surely die if Adam Cain and his friends can't find him and Adam's daughter Lila in time. The clock is ticking before the universe loses its most advanced lifeforms-and Adam his precious daughter.
Adam has never had a more urgent and personal mission than the one he has now. And never has he faced a more lethal and elusive foe. Children of the Aris is a wild chase through the galaxy to save Panur and Lila as time is running out. It's non-stop action where the stakes have never been higher. Join Adam and his friends for their latest-and most important-adventure. Everyone's life depends on it.
