Condizione: Good. United in their natural form they are one, sharing all their memories, experiences, and lives. Apart they are six, the only existing members of their ancient race, a species with the ability to assume any form once they understand its essence. Their continued survival in a universe filled with races ready to destroy anyone perceived as different is based on the Rules. And first among those Rules is: Never reveal your true nature to another being. But when the youngest among them, Esen-alit-Quar, receives her first independent assignment to a world considered safe to explore, she stumbles into a trap no one could have anticipated.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. I put this collection of poetry together the winter of 2011 when we rented a small cottage on Peaks Island off the coast of Portland, Maine. I placed several of these poems online and one or two others in print on actual paper that you can hold in your hand. The majority of them I have kept private, for I have never been in any great hurry to get around to gathering, winnowing, and then releasing them to the light of day. After all, it is not a modest impulse to release a book of poems-even a self-published volume such as this one is. Hubris is attached to the action and the belief that the reader might find a poem or two in the collection that strikes a chord, calls forth a similar feeling, or perhaps a memory or two long buried because pain is what one usually associates with such memories. In this regard, I plead guilty to being immodest.SURVIVAL, as the rather dramatic title suggests, is a record of such memories and reflections born of my own journey. It is not the complete mapping of the twisting road I have taken over the years. Whether another portion of the map will ever get into print is not dependent at all on how these tracing of one man's passage are received, but on my willingness to pick up the trail where I stopped the inward hike.W.

Condizione: Good. Senior co-administrator of the Norcoast Salmon Research Facility, Dr. Mackenzie Connor was a biologist who studied the spawning habits of salmon. Then, last season, just as she and Dr. Emily Mamani were starting their research, they were interrupted by the arrival of Brymm, the first Dhryn to set foot on Earth.And suddenly everything changed for Mac, Emily, Brymn, the human race, and all the member races of the Interspecies Union. Base was attacked, Em was kidnapped by the mysterious Ro, and Mac and brymn had to flee for their lives to the Dhryn home world.What should have been Earth's best hope - an attempt to forge an alliance with the Dhyrn against the Ro - went horribly wrong. Mac nearly lost her life, and the peaceful, isolationist Dhyrn abandoned their world, hurtling out on an unfathomable path of destruction through civilized space.Now the members of the IU feel the only hope of stopping the Dhryn is to contact the Ro and ask for help. But no one knows how to accomplish that.As the enemy destroys life on planet after planet, the IU organizes a secret Gathering of every being with information on the Dhryn. With the data available there, Mac begins to suspect that the Dhyrn may not be ruthless destroyers. Their actions may be a response to something simpler and more deadly - the imperative to migrate. But even if Mac is right, can she and her team discover why this is happening and how to halt the Dhryn.…
