Warriors and Wizards by Martin J Bollinger Pdf

In August 1943, the Luftwaffe began using radio-controlled anti-ship glide bombs and within weeks they had sunk one battleship, crippled another, wrecked two cruisers, and destroyed numerous merchant ships. Yet, a year later the Germans abandoned their use, defeated by scientists who developed electronic systems to jam the radio links that guided the bombs. Drawing on a wealth of new sources, Martin Bollinger examines what happened from both a historical and technological perspective and lays out a mission-by-mission analysis of effectiveness. Based on interviews with participants, intelligence documents, and archival records in four countries, his book chronicles the yearlong battle between the Allied seamen (the warriors) and the scientists (the wizards) for a story of courage, technical achievement, and sacrifice.

Cooking for Elves, Dwarves and Dragons by Thea James,Isabel Minunni Pdf

Cooking for Elves, Dwarves and Dragons presents an extraordinary - and completely magical - collection of recipes inspired by the most popular and respected fantasy literature, films and TV series of all time. There are 125 mouth-watering recipes in all, including fantastic dishes suggested by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher, George R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice, N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth Trilogy, Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time, and many others. Some dishes are well-known - ones that passionate fans have long wished they could taste (Elven Lembas bread, anyone?). Others capture the mood and emotions of a particularly memorable scene, such as the meal that was eaten prior to Game of Thrones' fan favorite Battle of the Bastards. Accompanying each recipe is an introductory essay that shines a bit of light on the tales, heroes, villains or histories that inspired it. Readers will also find sidebars and features that provide even more intriguing insights, trivia and fantasy-related fun. Nearly 50 illustrations appear throughout, rendered by noted artist Tim Foley, whose eye-catching scratchboard style captures the look and feel of classic Medieval woodcut printing techniques. The book itself is an artifact of sorts, with faded, time-worn pages and a leatherette cover, lending the overall package the feel of an ancient grimoire - perhaps discovered in a long-forgotten crypt or wizard's castle. Either way, it's a cookbook treasure sure to please hungry readers of any realm.

The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima Pdf

A teen from Ohio discovers he's the last in a long line of magical warriors chosen to fight to the death. Before he knew about the Roses, sixteen-year-old Jack lived an unremarkable life in the small Ohio town of Trinity. Only the medicine he has to take daily and the thick scar above his heart set him apart from the other high-schoolers. Then one day Jack skips his medicine. Suddenly, he is stronger, fiercer, and more confident than ever before. And it feels great—until he loses control and nearly kills another player during soccer team tryouts. Soon, Jack learns the startling truth about himself: He is Weirlind, part of an underground society of magical people living among us. At the head of this magical society sit the feuding houses of the Red Rose and the White Rose, whose power is determined by playing The Game: a magical tournament in which each house sponsors a warrior to fight to the death. As if his bizarre magical heritage wasn't enough, Jack finds out that he's not just another member of Weirlind—he's one of the last of the warriors, at a time when both houses are scouting for a player. Can he learn to control his magic and fight off the Wizards who would claim him? Find out in the first book in the epic Heir Chronicles series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cinda Williams Chima!
