Lieutenant Travis Long of the Royal Manticoran Navy is the sort of person who likes an orderly universe. One where people follow the rules. Unfortunately he lives in the real universe. The good news is that Travis is one of those rare people who may like rules but has a talent for thinking outside them when everything starts coming apart. That talent has stood him - and the Star Kingdom - in good stead in the past, and it's one reason he's now a "mustang" - an ex-enlisted man who's been given a commission.

The Odyssey of the West series addresses in chronological sequence the works that have shaped the ongoing development of Western thought both in its own right and in cultural dialogue with other traditions. Part four provides a close look at the period from the Renaissance to the Scientific Revolution and into the early Enlightenment. These lectures take in the immense variety and singular achievements that have helped mold our present societies.

After the disastrous attack on the Manticoran home system by forces unknown, the Royal Manticoran Navy stands on the brink of collapse. A shadowy enemy with the resources to hurl warships across hundreds of light years seeks to conquer the Star Kingdom for reasons unknown, while forces from within Manticore's own government seek to discredit and weaken the Navy for reasons very much known: their own political gain.

Recent years have seen much controversy about the apostle Paul, his context, and its effect on his theology. In Four Views on the Apostle Paul: Audio Lectures, four leading scholars present their views on the best framework for describing Paul's theological perspective, including his view of salvation, the significance of Christ, and his vision for the churches.

Yesterday, the Star Kingdom of Manticore was a small, unimportant interstellar backwater. A quiet little star nation, only recently recovered from the devastating blow of the Plague Years. More affluent than some, perhaps, but with little to attract trade or interstellar commerce, it had little need for a navy...and even less interest in paying for one. But Manticore has now become a target. The Star Kingdom isn't certain who is attacking it, or why, or what its mysterious foe can possibly want, but Queen Elizabeth I knows she has to find out.

Odyssey of the West I and II explored timeless works from the ancient world that shaped, and continue to shape, the culture and philosophies of life today. Part three is a richly detailed look at St. Augustine, Beowulf, St. Thomas Aquinas, Authurian legends, Dante, Gothic art, and other highlights of the period. Through the course of these lectures, it becomes apparent that the "dark" ages were in fact a time of immense achievement, and a time that richly rewards those who study its art and philosophies.

Die entscheidende Großoffensive gegen die Neue Republik ist in vollem Gange. Während immer mehr Rebellenplaneten fallen, machen sich Luke Skywalker und Han Solo mit einigen Gefährten auf den Weg nach Wayland, dem Cloning-Zentrum des Imperiums.

Es kommt zum mörderischen Entscheidungskampf – und zu spät erkennt Luke, dass ihn der Jedi-Meister in eine tödliche Falle gelockt hat.

An anthology of short stories based upon/inspired by, and in loving homage to all of those great gore-fest movies and books of the 1980s (not necessarily based in that era, although some do ride that wave of nostalgia), the golden age when horror well and truly came kicking, screaming, and spraying blood, gore, and body parts out from the shadows.

Großadmiral Thrawn setzt seine Angriffe auf die Neue Republik fort, die gleichzeitig von innen durch einen imperialen Agenten zunehmend geschwächt wird. Während Han Solo und Lando Calrissian alles daransetzten, die Identität des Agenten zu ermitteln, versucht Prinzessin Leia, die mörderischen Noghri als Verbündete zu gewinnen. Auf ihrem Heimatplaneten Honoghr stößt sie auf ein schreckliches Geheimnis und ein Volk von Verdammten, das nur eine Chance hat, sich vom Imperium zu lösen – den eigenen Untergang.

Im Sternenkönigreich Manticore herrscht weiterhin Streit darüber, in welche Flotte man am besten investiert. Während eine Partei an der Royal Manticoran Navy festhält, glaubt die andere, dass der Patrol and Rescue Service für die Verteidigung der kleinen Nation absolut ausreicht. Diese Grabenkämpfe kommen der Terranische Axelrod Corporation sehr gelegen, die im Sternsystem von Manticore einen Wurmlochknoten vermutet. Und sie sind bereit, diesen auch mit Gewalt unter ihre Kontrolle zu bringen.

Societally sanctioned competition for money, power, and fame promotes selfishness, personal alienation, and widespread inequality, especially in market-oriented economies. Yet many of those engaging in this competitive individualism—the competition for rewards and limited resources—yearn to act directly to promote a more civil, equitable, and sustainable society. Enlightened Self-Interest offers evidence-based insights into the societal and individual consequences of this cultural practice and an actionable alternative to it.

Der verheerende Angriff auf den Heimatplaneten des Sternenkönigreichs von Manticore konnte abgewehrt werden, doch die Royal Manticoran Navy erlitt schwere Verluste. Und der unbekannte Feind ist noch lange nicht geschlagen. Jederzeit könnten die Söldnertruppen zurückkehren. Die Offiziere Travis Long und Lisa Donnelly müssen unbedingt mehr über den mysteriösen Auftraggeber der Söldner und seine Pläne herausfinden. Sie haben nicht mit einer Galaxis umspannenden Verschwörung gerechnet.

Sie glaubten, das Imperium wäre endgültig besiegt …. Fünf Jahre sind seit dem Sieg über den Imperator vergangen und die Galaxis versucht, sich von den Auswirkungen des Krieges zu erholen. Tausende von Lichtjahren entfernt aber hat der letzte der imperialen Kriegsherren, der brillante Großadmiral Thrawn, das Kommando über die zerrüttete Imperiale Flotte übernommen – und richtet diese auf die noch schwache Neue Republik.

As a new independent artist, I found that promoting your music can be difficult. Just hoping someone stumbles across your music is frustrating. As I thought about ways to promote my music, I thought about this avenue. So, this podcast will have 2 segments:. 1. A discussion of the songs that paved the way for today's music, and their relevance today. 2. I will interview an independent artist, showcasing a song of theirs, and find out their methodology for music creation. If you have a song suggestion, or an artist suggestion, message me and explain it to me. Happy listening.

The Asymmetric Warfare Group (AWG) serves as the United States Army’s global scouts. We leverage direct observations of the operational environment, emerging threat capabilities, and friendly gaps to advise the operational force. One of the threats we see on the horizon is that posed by Private Military Companies (PMCs). PMCs are proliferating worldwide and play an increasingly important role in conflict. Specifically, PMCs based in the Russian Federation have been active in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. They are of increasing concern to commanders worldwide.

Decoding the Virtual Dragon explains how Chinese information warfare concepts since 2003 fit into the strategic outlook, practices, and activities of the People’s Liberation Army, offering explanations directly from the pens of Chinese experts with few intermediate filters. In some cases, direct translations of key Chinese terms are offered. The Chinese authors discuss the application or relation of IW to strategic thought, the transformation plans of the People’s Liberation Army, the revolution in military affairs, and the revolution in knowledge warfare and cognition.
