A dozen rounds hit the fuel tanks on Nelson's left wing and smoke started to come from the engine. Book 2: Joe Devlin is midway through his second year at the Space Academy with his father and sister deployed in the war against the Tourians. When someone close to Joe is Missing in Action, can he against all odds, find out what happened? Will he be pushed past his limits as a pilot during his quest for the answers? The Tourians are waiting! Book 3: Joe Devlin has just finished his second year at the Space Academy and is awaiting his dad's homecoming from a highly classified mission. During that operation Joe's father has made a huge discovery--a find so significant that it will change planet Bandor forever! Can Joe handle the knowledge that his dad entrusts with him? Or will it be his downfall, tempted by the power of a legend older than the unity of Bandor. The legend awaits! Book 4: In Book Four of the Space Academy Series, the Intergalactic Space Force seeks revenge after being attacked by a mysterious enemy. Have the Tourians joined forces with a new adversary to exact their own vengeance? Should the ISF strike back? Meanwhile, Joe struggles to fight off his wartime demons while preparing to embark upon a clandestine mission in search of his loved ones.

At the dawn of a new era, a new age -- a new "Babylon" -- secret knowledge and wisdom of the greatest empire in history, originally guarded and hidden by the most progressive ruler of western civilization -- Nebuchadnezzar II -- now stands open to all, freshly recovered and translated from the deserts of Middle East... unearthed beyond time and space from ancient Mesopotamia!The tablet collection known as the "Sajaha Series" first relayed to the public in 1991 is in the German language: "Das Buch der Sajaha: Neunzehn Schriftsatze der Babylonianischer Sehek," would have appeared as "The Book of Sajaha - Nineteen Writings of the Babylonian Seer"-had it ever been produced in English. More recently Max Cold Champion& Aldo Espinosa released another edition in 2009, again in German, titled: "Sajaha: Die Prophezeiungen fur ein Newes Zeitalter Babylon, Nebukadnezar und der Dritte Sargon." ["Sajaha: Prophecies of a New Age of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar and the Third Sargon."]The public release of The Book of Sajaha-the-Seer (Liber S) marks a new phase in the Mardukite work-featuring the prophecies, visions and advisement of a great Babylonian seer, Sajaha: accounts of a future rise of New Babylon from her point of view. Commentary, new translations and the original German transliteration manuscript are included within this concise volume of 'Sumerian Wisdom & Anunnaki Prophecies: The Book of Sajaha-the-Seer: Babylonian Cuneiform Wisdom Tablet Series of King Nebuchadnezzar II & Prophetic Visions for a New Babylon Rising' edited by Joshua Free.As you reflect upon the lines of this tablet series, the prophecies and visions most surely conjure vivid imagery to mind, not to mention what the intended audience for them would have been thinking-for they were once the private possession of the Babylonian king of Sajaha's time, King Nebuchadnezzar II, a supporter of a progressive fruitful and benevolent pro-Mardukite era of Babylonian Renaissance for nearly half of a century!EDITION NOTE: Mardukite-English translation developed by the Mardukite Chamberlains as an unpublished companion to Book of Marduk by Nabu as derived from the German text.An original publication developed by the Mardukite Truth Seeker Press in conjunction with the Mardukite Research Organization [Mardukite Chamberlains] & with a grant from NexGenSys [NexGen Systemological Society]MRO Archive# Cycle 5 (2013) Chamberlains Catalogue Designation: Liber-S - [Year-5]

Multiscale modeling of materials requires simulations of multiple levels of structural hierarchy. The computational efficiency of numerical methods becomes a critical factor for simulating large physical systems with highly desperate length scales. Multigrid methods are known for their superior efficiency in representing/resolving different levels of physical details. The efficiency is achieved by employing interactively different discretizations on different scales (grids). To assist optimization of manufacturing conditions for materials processing with numerous particles (e.g., dispersion of particles, controlling flow viscosity and clusters), a new multigrid algorithm has been developed for a case of multiscale modeling of flows with small particles that have various length scales. The optimal efficiency of the algorithm is crucial for accurate predictions of the effect of processing conditions (e.g., pressure and velocity gradients) on the local flow fields that control the formation of various microstructures or clusters.

My Name Isn't JoeModern loneliness and the absence of intimacy amongst London's millions are the ills suffered by the quirky yet deeply melancholic 30-something, Joseph Bogart.Weighed down with emotional baggage and feeling lost amidst a mass of failed relationships, Joseph uses his sharp wit and tragicomedy to fight the hopelessness gnawing at him.Through his trials we discover if Joseph is able to find a successful way out of his life of 'quiet desperation'."Thomas' writing doesn't merely describe a sequence of events, it is much deeper than that, and it is that which I think really sets it apart from that of so many writers. I really found it extremely moving." Bill Goodall - Bill Goodall Literary Agency "I think you've got a winner there. Reminds me very much of Nick Hornby's writing." Anne Gillion, ASG Editorial"I am an avid reader, but this book honestly blows all the other books I have read recently out of the water. This book is one I will be raving about to friends, family, and colleagues it is amazing." Chantel-Hall Reid - Publishing House ExecutiveI enjoyed every single word of the story, and I think it was masterfully told. I loved the irony that left space for joy and hope even in the gloomiest moments. This is the best book I have read in a long time!" Andrea Padurean- Reader

It has been more than thirty years since the term "flash fiction" was first coined, perfectly describing the power in the brevity of these stories, each under 1,000 words. Since then, the form has taken hold in the American imagination. For this latest installment in the popular Flash Fiction series, James Thomas, Sherrie Flick, and John Dufresne have searched far and wide for the most distinctive American voices in short-short fiction. The 73 stories collected here speak to the diversity of the American experience and range from the experimental to the narrative, from the whimsical to the gritty. Featuring fiction from writers both established and new, including Aimee Bender, K-Ming Chang, Bonnie Jo Campbell, Bryan Washington, Robert Scotellaro, and Luis Alberto Urrea, Flash Fiction America is a brilliant collection, radiating creativity and bringing together some of the most compelling and exciting contemporary writers in the United States.
