Imperial Guard : The Cirrus Cycle 1
$17.49
Life is hard on the planet Cirrus in the twenty-third century, but a food-deficit Earth desperately needs the wheat that Cirrus supplies. Earlier, in the mid-twenty-second century, nearly a hundred years after a nuclear and biological holocaust, a world empire was established. A few decades later, intragalactic hyperjump travel was discovered, making the colonization of new worlds possible. But the galactic empire has been continually afflicted with civil wars, domestic unrest, and political conspiracies. Enter Timothy Brogan. In the closing years of the twenty-third century, he leaves his native planet of Cirrus to seek adventure as an officer in the Imperial Fusiliers. Little does he know, however, that he will be thrust into the decades-old power struggle between two political factions: one working for the greater good of humanity and the other obsessed with evil and selfish ends. Events beyond Brogan.s control propel him into conflict with the malevolent Mogul family. As he faces the most critical and difficult challenges of his life, he allies himself with the Mizpala faction, and the Emperor appoints him an officer in the Imperial Guard. In his new position he is thrust into the center of deadly peril but discovers romance and a new purpose for his life.

Abolition Of Man
$17.99Add to cartIn this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
