Devil May Cry by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Book Description
Kenyon became a remarkable success story
with Dark Side of the Moon, which became an instant bestseller. Now,
her newest, most imaginative, and most breathtaking Dark-Hunter novel
yet tells the tale of an ex-god in search of revenge, a servant of
Artemis out to stop him, deadly enemies at every turn and a plot that
may very well end the world. Ever since the moment his godhood was
taken by Artemis, Sin has done nothing but plot his revenge. But when
he kidnaps a woman he believes to be the goddess, he quickly finds out
that she is not Artemis, but her servant, Katra. And instead of
capturing her, Katra captures him. She refuses to release him until he
promises not to seek vengeance on her mistress. In spite of himself,
Sin is intrigued by Katra, who is nothing like the deceitful Artemis.
She's fierce and true, but also compassionate and loyal. However, Sin
is not the only enemy Artemis has and it quickly becomes apparent that
he must help Katra save her mistress... or life as we know it will
cease to exist. What's an ex-god to do? Pdf Created Especially For EnglishTips.Org

"The Moon is a Harsh Mistress"
by Robert Heinlein
[UNABRIDGED AUDIOBOOK WITH TEXT]
Robert A. Heinlein was the most influential science fiction writer of his era, an influence so large that, as Samuel R. Delany notes, "modern critics attempting to wrestle with that influence find themselves dealing with an object rather like the sky or an ocean." He won the Hugo Award for best novel four times, a record that still stands. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress was the last of these Hugo-winning novels, and it is widely considered his finest work.It is a tale of revolution, of the rebellion of the former Lunar penal colony against the Lunar Authority that controls it from Earth. It is the tale of the disparate people-a computer technician, a vigorous young female agitator, and an elderly academic-who become the rebel movement's leaders. And it is the story of Mike, the supercomputer whose sentience is known only to this inner circle, and who for reasons of his own is committed to the revolution's ultimate success.The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is one of the high points of modern science fiction, a novel bursting with politics, humanity, passion, innovative technical speculation, and a firm belief in the pursuit of human freedom.
