Into the Looking Glass by John Ringo Pdf

WORST TWO OUT OF THREE When a 60 kiloton nuclear explosion destroys the University of Central Florida, terrorism is the first suspect. But terrorists don't generally leave doorways to another world in their wake. Or, rather, a generator of doorways to multiple other worlds. With time of the essence, the Secretary of Defense scrounges up the nearest physicist with a high level security clearance. With doctorates in everything from nuclear physics to electrical engineering, William Weaver, PhD, is the egghead's egghead. On the other hand, with skills in everything from mountain biking to screaming electric guitar, he's also fast enough and tough enough to survive when the alien gates start disgorging "demons." As a snap decision, he appears to be the perfect choice, smart, tough and capable. Now if he could only patch things up with his girlfriend, get his boss off his back and get his cellphone bill paid. Oh, yeah, and figure out why the heck these gates keep opening. Okay, so sometimes he's got priority issues. As the gates spread and evil aliens spread with them, it is up to Weaver and SEAL Command Master Chief Miller to find a way to stop the proliferation and close the hostile gates. The problem being that the only way they can see to save the earth is destroy it. Then there's not going to be any more girlfriends or cellphones or bosses . . . Hmmm... Okay, two out of three of those are bad. They're really, really bad. Bad on toast. Bad like the Pacific is watery. Every day a Monday, bad. One and a half at the very least. Worst two out of three. Gotta prioritize. Guess Weaver and Miller are just gonna have to save the world. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

The Last Tribes of Erva by Gary Currier Pdf

Alver is a troubled warrior. His people are dying off in a war that has lasted far too many years. He and his people face slavery and worse extinction. Alver has been made chieftain and was given a relic of great power to wield. Surrounded with the last heroes of the southern tribes, he brings them to the final battle. Alver swore revenge against an enemy-a huge man of great hunger. Gizor Njal rose from out of nothing to leader of the northern cities swearing Alver's death and his people's extinction as he seeks recognition, power, and godhood. Gizor Njal's real power comes from pure evil in the form of a Druid of dark means. The Druid Whiteblossom has strange alliances, means, and magic. He has come to Gizor Njal and told him of the ancient prophecies, which name him as a coming god, and has convinced Gizor Njal the death of the southern tribes and the taking of the relic of power will bring forth his transformation. The Druid has a deadly secret and his own goals of power. Alver has many who owe him their life-one is hiding a great magical power from him but she loves him and intends him to live and his enemies to meet their doom. The end is near and all the hate, revenge, magic, muscle, and planning have come down to this moment in time.
