THE THRILLING RE-TELLING OF ARTHURIAN LEGEND FROM MASTER OF SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY DAVID DRAKE CONTINUES! A young Champion must rescue a friend and battle an enemy at the heart of a chaotic world.The universe has shattered into chaos and monsters. Jon, the Leader, is dedicating his life to reuniting the scattered hamlets into a Commonwealth where all humans can live protected against the darkness and the things that live in that darkness. But no man can reshape the universe by himself. Jon has Makers to build weapons and clerks to handle the business of government-but he also needs Champions to face the powers of chaos, which will not listen to any argument but force. Lord Pal of Beune is one of those Champions. He has fought monsters and evil on behalf of Mankind, and he will fight them again. But now Guntram, the man who transformed Pal from an ignorant rube into a bulwark of the Commonwealth, has disappeared. Pal must locate his friend and mentor-and then he must battle an entity that may be at the core of the splintered universe! Pal of Beune: A humane man in a universe full of inhumanity. Pal of Beune: A strong man in a universe where some recognize only strength. Pal of Beune: A hero who will keep going until something stops him--and who hasn't been stopped yet! Praise for The Storm: "I finished The Storm last night. I loved it. It was such a sweet read. Pal is one of [Drake's] best people, humane and strong and generous, and his voice carries the whole book."-Cecelia Holland "Counterbalancing the setting's strangeness, Pal himself is thoroughly levelheaded and decent, the kind of hero readers will enjoy rooting for. This is an enjoyable exploration of a pleasantly peculiar world."-Publishers Weekly "...a wonderful cast of characters in a fabulous world of courtiers, peasants, Beasts, and mysterious Envoys.

They were the toughest fighters in the galaxy - until they got used up. The mission: redemption - or death. The troops were walking dead already, so there wasn't much of a downside.

Daniel Leary is Cinnabar's most successful space captain; his friend, Lady Adele Mundy, is its most efficient spy - but they've got their hands full this time as they face: a vengeful Cinnabar Senator, a boy ruler of a star cluster who thinks he's a god, a world of slaves and escaped slaves, and an almost indestructible enemy base.

When the Republic of Cinnabar doesn't have enough battleships to deal with all the crises in its war with the Alliance, it sends the next best thing: Commander Daniel Leary and his friend, the spy Adele Mundy.

The Empress of Earth: Finest passenger liner in the galaxy. Brightest link in the chain that binds the starflung civilization of the 23rd century. Six thousand lives in a single hull, trembling through multiple universes to land on raw, often violent worlds, each with its own history and wonder. The Empress of Earth: Neutral pawn in an interstellar war! When hostile necessity knows no law, Ran Colville and the rest of the complement of the Empress of Earth must bring home their ship and the passengers entrusted to them. From the Captain on his bridge to the Cold Crewmen who work in conditions that differ from Hell only by name, they'll have their work cut out for them this voyage!

While the Republic of Cinnabar is at peace with the Alliance, warriors like Lt. Daniel Leary and Signals Officer Adele Mundy must find other work-like escorting a pair of wealthy nobles on an expedition to the back of beyond!

Daniel Leary is a lieutenant in the Cinnabar Navy. Adele Mundy, whose family was massacred by the Government. Kostroma, which is under threat of invasion. Daniel, Adele, and the crew they gather aren't much to stand in the way of an invasion fleet. They have nothing on their side but each other and heaven help whatever tries to stand in their way!

David Drake chronicles the lives of ordinary Parisians during WWII, drawing on diaries and reminiscences of people who endured these years. From his account emerge the broad rhythms and shifting moods of the city and the contingent lives of resisters, collaborators, occupiers, and victims who, unlike us, could not know how the story would end.

The tyrannical Alliance continues its war against Cinnabar, and Daniel Leary, newly promoted to Commander, and his crew have a new mission: Stop Dunbar's World from falling to an invasion by the planet Pellegrino.

Violence racks Cinnabar. In desperate times, Lt. Daniel Leary must serve under a paranoid officer, and Officer Adele Mundy is drawn into a conspiracy worringly similar to the one that led to her parents' massacre.

In this book, the second in the series, Lt. Daniel Leary commands the Princess Cecile; Signals Officer Adele Mundy has the spy apparatus and skill to crack any database. All they lack are enemies, and fate is about to supply those in abundance!

The Empire of Man has fallen and a new Dark Age is upon the stars. With planets cut off and reduced to subsistence and ignorance, humanity has nearly forgotten its past greatness. But one battle computer has survived the Collapse. He is Center. And Center is determined to find and aid leaders who can return a star-faring republic to the galaxy.

Captain Daniel Leary and his cybrarian friend Adele Mundy think they've earn the quiet life. But there is a rebellion in a distant, but politically critical, star system and high officials are determined to get the lifelong friends involved.

en tid hvor "coaching" er på alles læber - og bruges i stadig flere sammenhænge - er dette en bog om coaching, som er andet og mere end "endnu en praksisbog". Bogen er en grundbog, der sætter coaching ind i et større perspektiv og en bredere sammenhæng.I bogen favnes coachingfeltet med fokus på tre centrale områder, og bogen består af 19 kapitler. De er overordnet inddelt med ni praksisorienterede artikler fordelt i delen "Coaching i praksis - retninger og metoder" og ni mere teoriorienterede artikler i delene "Perspektiver på coaching - refleksioner og forklaringsrammer" samt "Effekter af coaching - dokumentation og vidnesbyrd". Antologien afrundes af efterord, der perspektiverer coachingens muligheder og risici fremover. Bogens målgruppe er deltagere på private og universitære uddannelser i og om coaching, der har brug for bred lærebog. Virksomheder, som bruger coaching og arbejder på at implementere værktøjer, praksis og tænkning i arbejdsfunktionen. Foruden alle med interesse for (og undren over) coaching, der har brug for et overblik, en samfundsmæssig perspektivering og en større forståelse for, hvorfor coaching virker. Bogen er redigeret af Kim Gørtz, uddannet på Københavns Universitet (1997) i filosofi og psykologi. Har siden efteråret 2005 været tilknyttet Learning Lab Denmark og Nordea som erhvervs-Ph.d. Anette Prehn er erhvervssociolog og indehaver af where2next, der arbejder med lederudvikling. Uddannet coach fra ITS, London og ICF-certificeret coach (ACC).
