Rogue Queen
Decades before a certain five-year voyage, L. Sprague de Camp sent a spirited crew to a strange and distant world, where their meeting with its inhabitants created chaos in local politics, upset the balance of power and generally created the most entertaining havoc. Rogue Queen is an engaging tale of aliens and humans on the loose on a world of appealing strangeness.
Dragon and Phoenix
In Dragon and Phoenix, the sweeping sequel to Joanne Bertin's hugely successful fantasy epic The Last Dragonlord, Linden and Muarynna must rescue a trapped dragon from an evil princess. Once every thousand years the phoenix of Jehanglan burns to death in a magical release. For millennia the emperors of Jehanglan have tried to harness the awesome power of the phoenix's rebirth. One has finally succeeded, using black magic and the enslavement of a dragon. Far away at the Crown of the World, Dragon-lord Linden and his new wife, Maurynna, are trying to live the life of happy newlyweds. But all is not well. Since her first Change into dragon-form, Maurynna has been unable to duplicate it. And as her inability to Change drives her into a dark abyss of depression, Linden begins to doubt the love he was once so sure of... At this time of personal crisis, these two must journey to Jehanglan and marshall all of their diplomatic and martial skill to penetrate the treachery of the empire and set free the phoenix. But to do so they must face the dragon--the dragon who just might be a Dragonlord gone mad....

Decentralized Oracles and Secure Data Integration
"Decentralized Oracles and Secure Data Integration" "Decentralized Oracles and Secure Data Integration" is a comprehensive guide that delves into the critical challenges and innovative architectures underpinning the integration of external data with trust-minimized, automated systems. This book meticulously unpacks the fundamental principles and design patterns that distinguish decentralized oracles from their centralized counterparts, offering a nuanced exploration of architectural modularity, redundancy, and economic incentives that drive resilient and scalable data ecosystems. Readers are guided through the entire lifecycle of data flows, from acquisition and validation to delivery, with deep insights into the economic and game-theoretic foundations that foster honest participation and adversarial resistance. At its core, the book rigorously examines the myriad security foundations essential to oracle networks, including threat models, advanced cryptographic safeguards, and robust consensus mechanisms. Each chapter explores the evolving strategies for ensuring data authenticity, non-repudiation, and secure on-chain/off-chain communications, while addressing the vulnerabilities unique to decentralized infrastructures—such as Sybil and collusion attacks, network partitioning, and cross-chain interoperability. Built into every discussion are stringent protocols for redundancy, real-time feeds, and cryptoeconomic incentives, ensuring the reliability and fault tolerance of mission-critical data integration. Beyond the technical underpinnings, the book ventures into the broader implications of oracles in real-world applications, privacy, and regulatory compliance. Rich case studies illustrate how decentralized oracle technology powers DeFi, insurance, IoT, digital identity, and event-driven automation across global industries. Special attention is paid to the changing landscape of data privacy laws, compliance architectures, and emerging standards, culminating in a forward-looking roadmap that situates oracles at the nexus of Web3, artificial intelligence, and the future of secure digital ecosystems. This text stands as an essential reference for architects, engineers, policymakers, and innovators committed to advancing secure, decentralized data integration on a global scale.
