Excalibur's Quest (Swordships Odyssey)
Dietmar Arthur Wehr - 2018
Humanity is now at their mercy, but not all Space Force warships have been defeated. Wolfe Koenig’s light cruiser, Excalibur, is on a mission to acquire technology that just might enable the ragged remnants of the Fleet to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat—if he can find an alien race with that technology, if he can convince them to trade for it and if the technology can be exploited fast enough. Excalibur’s Quest is the story of that mission and the challenges, both alien and human, that Koenig faces. This is the second book in the action-packed military SF Swordships Odyssey series. Genre categories: space fleet, military SF, space opera, galactic empire, alien invasion, first contact, space exploration.

Beowulf
Unknown - 2021
Heaney's performance reminds us that Beowulf, written near the turn of another millennium, was intended to be heard not read.Composed toward the end of the first millennium of our era, Beowulf is the elegiac narrative of the adventures of Beowulf, a Scandinavian hero who saves the Danes from the seemingly invincible monster Grendel and, later, from Grendel's mother. He then returns to his own country and lives to old age before dying in a vivid fight against a dragon.The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on in the exhausted aftermath. In the contours of this story, at once remote and uncannily familiar at the end of the twentieth century, Seamus Heaney finds a resonance that summons power to the poetry from deep beneath its surface.

No Love in His Heart: The Preface
B. Love - 2018
After being conceived during an affair, she had to grow up without a father and a drug addicted mother. Though she has developed a tight bond with her half-sister and her best friend, Blue was convinced she’d never know how true love felt – until she met Messiah Edwards. Messiah Edwards has been trained to believe that women are disloyal, discontent, and unable to be satisfied. Because of this, he’s made his focus building an empire. Love, to him, is an inconvenience that needs to be avoided. For his twenty-one years of life, avoiding love has been easy – until he met Blue. Upon their first meeting, Messiah makes his character clear. He’s a beast. A beast with absolutely no desire to love, value, or save any woman. The more he hardens himself against Blue the more she’s drawn to him, and the more she’s drawn to him, the more Messiah finds himself softening towards Blue. There’s just one problem; Messiah’s heart has been void of love for years, and he doesn’t think any woman has the power to change that.
