Feral Eye of the Blackbird by John Katsoulis Pdf

Two men are kidnapped, sent to an African diamond mine to complete an equipment installation, and must find a way to escape. They'll revive a temple and keep their mouths shut, or be killed. It's 1994, near the end of the Rwandan war. Robert's a privileged kid with anger issues. He must reconcile his old life, where everything is easy and nothing matters, with his new one as a forced laborer. It's easier said than done. He's plagued by his inner demon-the blackbird-the violent temper he must control. Logos, his mentor, is known as the man who can fix any mining equipment in the field. He's done things for governments he no longer remembers, and he must conquer a trauma, or it will destroy him. His talent, reputation, and dark past have made him the target of the kidnappers. The mysterious Consortium has stalked him for years. The guide, Mr. K.K., tells them they'll work to the brink of death. Why? Only one man in the world is capable of the "special installation" to make the owners rich again-Logos. In the nothingness of the bush, they experience a new and dark world. Villagers are forced to work at gunpoint, subjugated by a hierarchy of Masters and Workers, alive since the Belgian Congo. Logos and Robert will play with nothing to lose or die as slaves. The jungle keeps secrets. They're about to find out why. Includes Readers Guide.

Feral Eye of the Blackbird by John Katsoulis Pdf

"I work for myself, only. I take satisfaction in the achievements I alone create." The mechanical genius, Logos, embarks on a job assignment where his beliefs threaten his very survival. A shadowy organization kidnaps him to revive a decaying diamond mine in Central Africa. The collective he encounters forces villagers to work as serfs for the consortium that owns the mine. Logos thinks with objective reason and will not stand subjugation of any sort. The supervisor, Chicotte, rules as a despot. King Ulindi manipulates the entire region summoning the supernatural. The site geologist, Luc, obstructs all technological progress to keep the kleptocracy functioning. Eden is the aid worker Logos falls for en route to the mine. She is emotionally fearless and pure--everything he isn't.An epic clash of ideologies ferments in the equatorial nothingness. The ambitious and naïve John Bonhomme gives us a first person account of the deformed world he witnesses. He craves adventure after graduating college and is hired as Logos' assistant. John learns man's reason liberates him from the beast inside. He sees the feral eye of the blackbird manifest, ruling over rational men. He will be tested against the savagery found in all men. FERAL EYE OF THE BLACKBIRD is a coming of age story, the birth of a modern philosophy for the everyday man in business, a testament to the individual achievement possible in all of us. Logos' teaching triggers those around him to follow objective reason or die as slaves

Feral Future by Tim Low Pdf

A decade ago, Tim Low journeyed to the remote northernmost tip of Australia. Instead of the pristine rain forests he expected, he found jungles infested with Latin American carpet grass and feral cattle. That incident helped inspire Feral Future, a passionate account of the history and implications of invasive species in that island nation, with consequences for ecological communities around the globe. Australia is far from alone in facing horrific ecological and economic damage from invading plants and animals, and in Low's capable hands, Australia's experiences serve as a wake-up call for all of us. He covers how invasive species like cane toads and pond apple got to Australia (often through misguided but intentional introductions) and what we can do to stop them. He also covers the many pests that Australia has exported to the world, including the paperbark tree (Melaleuca) that infests hundreds of thousands of acres in south Florida.

The Flower & The Blackbird by Liane Zane Pdf

As the conflict between primeval supernatural enemies heats up, her choice will tip the balance. Six months ago Anastasia Fiore, an intelligence officer in Italy’s foreign security service, led an even more secret life on the side. She ran off-the-books missions with her friends Olivia and Beta, American and Czech foreign intelligence officers. The three women shared the same goal: take down predators. And then Stasia’s life got way more interesting. After a complicated, surreal mission that went sideways, Stasia learned that she has angel blood, making her an Elioud. She’s seen what Elioud warriors are called to do, and she’s not interested. Stasia can handle herself with a traditional surujin, a British WWII combat knife, or a 9mm handgun. But she prefers crafting a cover identity so compelling she can charm what she needs from her target instead. In fact, she’s so skilled that the Carabinieri’s Art Squad requests her help tracking down a stolen Rembrandt painting. That’s what she was doing when Miró Kos, a Croatian Elioud she’s already chained, slashed, and drugged, showed up. He was there tracking the buyer, and whether Stasia likes it or not, she’s now inside another surreal mission. One that will make her question what her Elioud blood means. And what the quiet, intense warrior means to her. For his part, Miró cannot let another woman come before his duty. Or near his heart. As Stasia sets out to recover the Rembrandt, she and Miró discover that there is more than a stolen painting at stake. And more than one Dark Irim stalking Stasia.

MOST ANTICIPATED by Bustle • "Sci-Fi Thriller" recommendation from Buzzfeed • An Indie Next Pick In this stunning follow-up to Hollow Kingdom and Seattle Times/Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association bestseller​, the animal kingdom's "favorite apocalyptic hero"is back with a renewed sense of hope for humanity, ready to take on a world ravaged by a viral pandemic (Helen Macdonald). Once upon an apocalypse, there lived an obscenely handsome American crow named S.T. . . . When the world last checked-in with its favorite Cheeto addict, the planet had been overrun by flesh-hungry beasts, and nature had started re-claiming her territory from humankind. S.T., the intrepid crow, alongside his bloodhound-bestie Dennis, had set about saving pets that had become trapped in their homes after humanity went the way of the dodo. That is, dear reader, until S.T. stumbled upon something so rare—and so precious—that he vowed to do everything in his power to safeguard what could, quite literally, be humanity's last hope for survival. But in a wild world plagued by prejudiced animals, feather-raising environments, new threats so terrifying they make zombies look like baby bunnies, and a horrendous dearth of cheesy snacks, what's a crow to do? Why, wing it on another big-hearted, death-defying adventure, that's what! Joined by a fabulous new cast of animal characters, S.T. faces many new challenges plus his biggest one yet: parenthood.

Brute by Emily Skaja Pdf

Selected by Joy Harjo as the winner of the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets Emily Skaja’s debut collection is a fiery, hypnotic book that confronts the dark questions and menacing silences around gender, sexuality, and violence. Brute arises, brave and furious, from the dissolution of a relationship, showing how such endings necessitate self-discovery and reinvention. The speaker of these poems is a sorceress, a bride, a warrior, a lover, both object and agent, ricocheting among ways of knowing and being known. Each incarnation squares itself up against ideas of feminine virtue and sin, strength and vulnerability, love and rage, as it closes in on a hard-won freedom. Brute is absolutely sure of its capacity to insist not only on the truth of what it says but on the truth of its right to say it. “What am I supposed to say: I’m free?” the first poem asks. The rest of the poems emphatically discover new ways to answer. This is a timely winner of the Walt Whitman Award, and an introduction to an unforgettable voice.

Naturalized Animals by Christopher Lever Pdf

This work discusses the ecological and economic impacts that naturalized vertebrates have had on the native fauna and flora of the countries to which they have been introduced - either deliberately or accidentally - by man, and in which they have become established.
