Twilight Rising, Serpent's Dream
by Diana MarcellasThe young shari'a witch Brierley once thought that she was the last of her kind, powerful witches who lived in peace and harmony, using their powers for good. Only the women of her people had the gift and they ruled wisely and well. Her people had flourished for millennia, guided by the elemental beings who embodied the very forces of nature and who could tame the world.But then the fierce Allemani people came from beyond the sea. Newly settled in the land, they at first dwelt in peace with the shari'a. But trust turned to hate and the fear that the Allemani had for the witches soon boiled over into genocide. The Allemani decimated the shari'a out of fear of their differences.And so Briarly hid in the shadows, keeping her healing powers a secret-but she was compelled to use them when necessary, and these actions caused her to be discovered. When she was forced to flee the only home she had ever known, she did not go alone, for she had captured the heart Duke Melfallan, and though he is Allemani, he vows to attempt to change the Law condemning any shari'a to death because he has come to know that the shari'a are not monsters...and they can bring a great joy to the world.As she makes her way out into the world to hide while Melfallan fights to save her, Brierley discovers that she is not the last of her kind. That there are many, like her, who managed to stay in the shadows, generations of shari'a who have kept quiet, hid their powers and have waited. And that not all of whom share Brierley's good heart. The time of reckoning is at hand, the forces that the shari'a once controlled are being summoned once more, and Brierley finds that the hatred that fueled the Allemani ages past is still very much alive. Will Brierley have to sacrifice her life (and that of her unborn child) to save an entire world and make things right for her people?At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

PhamA New Yorker Best Book of 2024 A sweeping first novel of love, war, and resistance in post–World War II Vietnam, by the award-winning author of Catfish and MandalaThe peak of the hot season, 1942: The wars in Europe and Asia and the Japanese occupation have upset the uneasy balance of French Indochina. In the Vietnamese fishing village of Phan Thiet, Tuyet ekes out a living at a small storefront with her aunt Coi, her cousin Ha, and her two-year-old daughter, Anh. She can hardly remember her luxurious life in the city of Saigon, which she left just two years ago.The day Tuyet meets Japanese major Yamazaki Takeshi is inauspicious and stifling, with no relief from the sand-stirring wind. But to her surprise, she feels not fear or wariness, but a strange kinship. Tuyet is guarded, knowing how the townspeople might whisper, yet is drawn to Takeshi’s warmth all the same. A wounded veteran with a good heart, Takeshi grows to resent the Empire for what it has taken—and the promises it has failed to keep. As the Viet Minh begin to battle the French and Takeshi risks his life for the Resistance, Tuyet and her family are drawn into the conflict, with devastating consequences.A lushly panoramic novel, by turns gritty and profoundly moving, Twilight Territory is at once a war story and a love story that offers a fascinating perspective on Vietnam’s struggles to break free of its French colonial past.

Twilight World
by Poul AndersonA Science Fiction Novel of Tomorrow's Children. The time is shortly after World War Three. Hugh Drummond, jet pilot, has been sent by the remnant of the United States Government to make a sweeping survey of a devastated planet. He returns with a report even grimmer than expected, a story of ruin, famine, and barbarism. Here and there a few strongholds of civilization struggle to survive, but even in America they are isolated and feeble. Worst of all is the rising tide of abnormal births. The radiation which now pervades every part of the world is not strong enough to destroy life directly; but it bids fair to end the human race more slowly and horribly, with each future generation more crippled by mutation run wild. During the long-drawn effort to restore order, a child is born named Alaric Wayne. He grows up as a sort of village idiot --until the day when the savage raiders come and only his peculiar powers can defend his people. Then it is seen that he is not really abnormal. Nor is he truly human. But one chance in a billion has given him a gift which goes beyond humanity. With so many mutations each year, the rare chance of actual improvement, of powers which man never had before, appears certain to be realized. Somewhere in a chaotic world are a few supermen, who don't know that they are! But how to find them? How to use their unique talents? Above all, how to outrace the galloping disintegration of life in the vast majority? And meanwhile other nations than America are groping their way back to power. Philosophies emerge which cannot be reconciled. Man drifts closer to a fourth global war, which may destroy him even sooner than his own genetic deterioration. The quest for an answer to these problems carries Alaric Wayne and his unwilling supermen beyond Earth itself, out to Mars and a final battle with an enemy who has followed them. Yet an even greater enemy remains --man's own fears and weaknesses and ignorance. twilight world presents a harsh, detailed picture of a world that our own children may have to live in. And yet it is not a chronicle of despair. While man lives, so does hope.

Twilight Zone Reflections: An Introduction to the Philosophical Imagination
by Saul TraigerTwilight Zone Reflections is the first book of its kind to explore the entirety of The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) as a series. It acts as both an introduction to the field of philosophy and as a complete guide to the philosophical issues illustrated throughout the original 1959-64 television series. Author Saul Traiger explores each of the 156 episodes, investigating the show’s themes in metaphysics, epistemology, moral and political philosophy, and other topics in a way that is accessible to both seasoned philosophers and those outside academia. Each short chapter dives into a single episode and concludes with helpful cross-references to other episodes that explore similar philosophical problems and subjects. For example, a reader may be interested in questions about the nature of the mind and whether machines can think. By referencing this book, they could easily discover the thematic connections between episodes like “I Sing the Body Electric” or “The Lateness of the Hour,” and learn how both episodes introduce the viewer to possible worlds that challenge us to consider whether our idea of the mind, and even our very personhood, extends beyond the human to robots and other artificial intelligences. Each chapter introduces fundamental philosophical questions such as these through the lens of The Twilight Zone and inspires additional exploration. Further readings are suggested for all episodes, making this volume indispensable to academics, students, and fans of the show. Each chapter is short and accessible, ensuring that this book is the perfect resource to accompany a complete series re-watch. The Twilight Zone considered questions that strike at the heart of philosophical inquiry, such as the nature of self, the existence of god, the possibility of an afterlife, the relationship between knowledge and mental illness, the nature of possibility, even the nature of imagination itself, and so much more. Traiger argues that each episode can serve as an entry point for philosophical reflection. Twilight Zone Reflections is a valuable reference for anyone interested in exploring a well-known slice of popular culture history that doubles as a vast store of philosophical ideas.
