Publisher: Baen Publishing Enterprises
Release Date: 2014-08-16
Lieutenant Lord Thomas Kinago sets out from the Imperium homeworld for the Autocracy of the Uctu, a galactic region with a geckolike overlord known, eponymously, as the Autocrat. Thomas is ostensibly on a pleasure cruise with his cousin Jil to enjoy the pleasures of the Gecko culture. (Jil is herself fleeing a spot of trouble in the Central Worlds after she rebuffed the unwanted amorous interest of a local crime boss) In fact, Thomas is on a mission for the mysterious Mr. Frank, the head of the secret service, to discover how prohibited goods, including a small fighter ship, are being smuggled into the Autocracy. His crews overt assignment is to find out why legitimate shippers are being detained at checkpoints, sometimes for months, without explanation. As usual, Thomass reputation for sudden enthusiasm and goodhearted mayhem precede him. It is all his trusted aid Parsons can do to keep his leader on course. Thomass newest interest is superstitions, and he is driving everyone to distraction by telling fortunes, and even inventing a new method or two. Yet while the Autocrat, a new and fairly young Uctu female, finds Thomas a curious diplomat, she also rather likes him¾much to Parsonss relief. It seems Thomas needs free passage within the Uctu home system before he can investigate the illegal contraband trade. Whats more, the smuggling ring is quite determined to cancel Thomass visit before he can cancel them. As usual, its up to Parsons to find a way to lead his hapless master to victory¾or at least keep him from getting himself killed by a very determined enemy. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). Praise for Jody Lynn Nyes An Unexpected Apprentice: _I thoroughly enjoyed it, the plot, the settlement, the whole nine yards, and especially the twitch of humor at odd moments...a book I can thoroughly recommend.Ó ¾Anne McCaffrey _An unusual story well-told, with characters it's a real pleasure to spend time with.Ó ¾David Drake

Taiwanese born, Ang Lee (b. 1954) has produced diverse films in his award-winning body of work. Sometimes working in the West, sometimes in the East, he creates films that defy easy categorization and continue to amaze audiences worldwide. Lee has won an Academy Award two times for Best Director--the first Asian to win--for films as different as a small drama about gay cowboys in Brokeback Mountain (2005), and the 3D technical wizardry in Life of Pi (2012). He has garnered numerous accolades and awards worldwide. Lee has made a broad range of movies, including his so-called "Father Knows Best" trilogy made up of his first three films: Pushing Hands (1992), The Wedding Banquet (1993), and Eat Drink Man Woman (1994), as well as 1970s period drama The Ice Storm (1997), martial arts film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), superhero blockbuster Hulk (2003), and hippie retro trip Taking Woodstock (2009). Thoughtful and passionate, Lee humbly reveals here a personal journey that brought him from Taiwan to his chosen home in the United States as he struggled and ultimately triumphed in his quest to become a superb filmmaker. Ang Lee: Interviews collects the best interviews of this reticent yet bold figure.
EMPEROR CHAPTER 70
EMPEROR CHAPTER 70 The person who suddenly appeared was Li Qiye, a living Li Qiye standing there, Li Qiye blocking Gu Zun's path. Looking at Li Qiye clearly standing in front of him, Gu Zun glanced at the Li Qiye in the bubble. The two Li Qiye looked exactly the same, even Gu Zun, who was as smart as he was, couldn't tell which was the real Li Qiye and which was the fake. The Human-Hero Emperor Empress looked at the two exactly the same Li Qiye and was very surprised, because her level of strength couldn't tell which was the real Li Qiye and which was the fake.
