Many of the West’s best writers fought in duels or wrote about them, seduced by glamour or risk or recklessness. A gift as a plot device, the duel also offered a way to discover how we face fears of humiliation, pain, and death. John Leigh’s literary history of the duel illuminates these and other tensions attending the birth of the modern world.

Shae and her son set out on an adventure in the West that they could never experience in the East. What Eric Sinclair teaches Shae, is the true meaning of love. And it is that true love that keeps Shae going through what is about to be the hardest thing she will ever have to endure. Death is no stranger to Shae, and trying to deal with it by running away only makes it worse. An Indian myth, shakes Shae's reality. Is her young son really being lead by a ghost?
CRIPPLE-MODE: ELECTRIC TOUCHE
Travis McQueen is a teen trapped in circumstances that are out of her control. She's awakened from a coma to a life that's not her own and she wants her life back. Her Grandfather is a mass murderer, her father a convicted killer and she's a clone terrorist bouncing around illegally in and out of JumpSpace. She's infected with the parasitic spawn of a JumpSpace Entity and CORE material that the Greater Terran Galactic Properties use to Travel through JumpSpace. It's the parasite interacting with JumpSpace entity that has created a majority of her problems. She'd love to get rid of it except there's a fine line between the parasite and what makes her what she is. The Entity and its parasite have somehow written all of her father's memories into her mind. She's frightened of acting against them, because from all that she can tell when they leave they could take the memories with them and leave her an empty shell. She has no recollection of her own life, she's afraid to die and has a worse fear of being alive and thrown back into a darkness of nonexistence as bad as the coma she'd just escaped. Alone and confused with no one she can trust, Travis must escape from those who might kill her. Using her father's memory and knowledge to survive and hide only causes her enemies to threatening to destroy the station and kill everyone. Travis will have to surrender or find someone to help her before time runs out for everyone.
