With each passing day the potential reach of a single false news story — and its ability to negatively impact all of us — grows in both size and scope.

Apollo’s bright love is consuming, and the dark god Hades fills my dreams with lust and desire. Even though I’m torn between them, the sea god, Poseidon, surfaces to calm the chaos, except I’m falling for him. I’m living my new life on a sword’s edge, losing part of myself with each passing day. Trying to walk the fine line between my humanity and godhood is proving difficult. Heracles attempts to help me control my new power, and Ares insists I leap into the fight. All while the darkness is consuming souls with greater frequency. And I worry not even the gods can stop Death.

I’m a warrior. Cursed to fight monsters. Sworn to act as Zeus’ sword to protect mankind. But I’d give it all up for one last kiss with the god who stole my heart…Apollo.

Legendary monsters hunt in city streets of Chicago, and my job was to take down the worst. I’ve trained with Heracles. Been blessed with super human powers. What I’ve never done is fallen in love—until Apollo crossed my path. But he isn’t the only god to catch my attention.

The Finnish Front Line is a historical biography of Urho Kekkonen, the eighth and longest-serving president of Finland. Gordon F. Sander focuses on Kekkonen's pivotal first term as president, which was bracketed by two crises that together formed the template for both Finland's relationship with the Soviet Union from 1956 through the fall of the USSR, and Kekkonen's own "special" relationship with Moscow: the Night Frost crisis of 1957, which derived from the Kremlin's desire to exert greater influence on Finnish politics.

Two years after the nuclear holocaust, Hunter gets a message to report to his old commander.

Life is short, and it can be sweet. Contemplating death is looking into a mirror that allows us to see these simple facts clearly, as if for the first time. We have every reason to believe that we have but one life to live - and no good reasons to believe otherwise - and death marks the termination of each life.
