Prepare for a harrowing ride through the universe by the New York Times–bestselling author of Startide Rising and The Postman. Book Three in the Uplift Storm Trilogy The peaceful existence of six outcast races on Jijo has ended. Ancient enemies, the Jophur, have discovered them, preparing to subject the refugees to their dark, perverted plans. The Jijoans’ only hope is the same ship that accidently led their foes to the planet. The Earthship Streaker, with its crew of uplifted dolphins and a human commander, must somehow lure the Jophur into a chase through space . . . into the unknown. And then into the weird. More than just the fate of Jijo—or that of distant Earth, also suffering a deadly siege—hangs in the balance. Some believe a terrifying prophecy is about to come true, one that involves Streaker’s trove of artifacts coveted by factions throughout all Five Galaxies. As countless white dwarf stars verge on unexpected explosion, all sentient life in the universe appears to be at risk unless someone can save them. Praise for the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning Uplift Saga “The Uplift books are as compulsive reading as anything ever published in the genre.” —The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction “An extraordinary achievement.” —Poul Anderson, award-winning author of Tau Zero,on Startide Rising “An exhilarating read that encompasses everything from breathless action to finely drawn moments of quiet intimacy.” —Locus on The Uplift War “Tremendously inventive, ambitious work.” —Kirkus Reviews on Brightness Reef

This collection of essays is a tribute to Rachel Elior's decades of teaching, scholarship and mentoring. If a Festschrift reflects the individuality of the honoree, then this volume offers insights into the scope of Rachel Elior's interests and scholarly achievements in the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Jewish apocalypticism, magic, and mysticism from the Second Temple period to the later rabbinic and Hekhalot developments. The majority of articles included in the volume deal with Jewish and Christian apocalyptic and mystical texts constituting the core of experiential dimension of these religious traditions.

Although much has been revealed in two other books, it is now apparently time for me to share some of the things kept hidden for the last two years. They are about the pope, the Vatican and the battle the world too is to face. The words and visions given to me are written as I see or receive them in my head. The visions are described using my words and with knowledge given to me at the time of seeing them. Those visions are then replaced and words are given to me from Heaven. All of this shared with you will be in italics with the date I received it. The three dots will indicate where some has been omitted. It will be easy to see where my words change to theirs. The rest of the book will describe how I went through what someone told me she thought was akin to the Dark Night of the Soul. I also fought head to head battles with Satan himself. Not the demons so many speak of, this was Satan and he left me in no doubt it was.

Notable not only for its comprehensiveness but also for its inclusion of the Chinese pictograms, this complete text of the *Analects* of the greatest philosopher of Chinese history is a must-own volume for any student of Confucius (551Bi479 Be. From the disposition of a land's rulers to the value of prayer, the thoughts of Confucius have powerfully shaped the moral life and political structures of Asian nations, and influenced the direction of the Western world as well. Here, Legge offers an enlightening introduction to the *Analects,* copious notes that place the sayings in cultural context, and much more assistance for the lay reader in understanding the depth of Confucius' wisdom. This three-in-one volume, originally published in this form in 1893, also includes *The Great Learning,* the Confucian illustration of illustrious virtue, and *The Doctrine of the Mean,* the thinker's explication of the path of duty. Scottish scholar JAMES LEGGE (1815-1897) was the first professor of Chinese language and literature at Oxford University, serving from 1876 to 1897. Among his many books are The Life and Teaching of Confucius (1867), The Religions of China (1880), and the 50-volume Sacred Books of the East (1879-1891).

In this subtle and intelligently conceived study of Milton's major poems, Professor Lawry analyzes and explicates the poems and interprets them in the context of the entire body of Milton's work. His interpretations help the reader to participate with the poet in the "enactment" of the poems, whether with Adam in the Garden of Eden or with Satan in Hell.

Qin Shi Huang had given himself the title of Divine Emperor. He had gathered the blood essence of millions of people as a medium, using the history books of BC as his foundation, using the sages of the Ancestor as a guide, and had arrogantly sacrificed himself to form the Heavenly Talisman. However, because of the obstruction of the capable Yu Xuanji, the Marquis Ding took the opportunity to steal it. After nine thousand years, the heavenly talisman finally fell into the hands of the young Ding Hong. — — This book is slow and hot, but the later parts are brilliant and cannot be missed. In the early stages, the main character was suspected to be a masochist, and the later stages were decisive and powerful. The upgrade system does not use training as the main line, but rather uses the Immortal Slaying Stream. Close]
