The Fiercest Enemy

By: Rick Reed

In rural Indiana, the underground mines that once held coal and iron ore have become killing grounds. In two counties, five corpses have been discovered. Their deaths appear accidental, from drowning or suffocating in flooded and abandoned mines. But local authorities, including Chief Shaunda Lynch, have uncovered evidence suggesting they’ve all been murdered. Assigned to the case as Federal Agents, Detectives Jack Murphy and Liddell Blanchard take charge of the investigation. Shaunda’s proven herself more than capable of policing her jurisdiction and resents the intrusion of male authority figures. As Jack digs deep into the case, he discovers the victims have checkered pasts. But no matter who believes the killings are justified, someone still has to pay for the crime . . . Praise for Rick Reed and his novels "Rick Reed’s books have an edge that only a man in law enforcement, working in the field, can bring to life." - Tierney James, author of the Enigma series “Reed thrusts his story forward to bring us along on a ride we won’t soon forget!” —Suspense Magazine “Reed gives the reader a genre story worth every minute and every penny spent.” —Book Reporter “A jaw-dropping thriller.”—Gregg Olsen Visit us at www.kensingtonbooks.com

The Belt

The Kuiper Belt Incident

By: Rick Badman

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Belt

The Kuiper Belt Incident

By: Rick Badman

THE BELT deals with the mining operations found in the Kuiper Belt at the start. It is discovered that an alien world called Ortasia has salted planetoids with precious minerals and placed both installations and booby traps in the Kuiper Belt. One of these booby traps kills Space Corps personnel and the best friend of one of the main characters in the book. Later on, an independent mining operator transports to Ortasia and eventually becomes a hero during the interstellar war he believes might have been caused because he transported to Ortasia. Come to find out, a malevolent empire uses his action to provoke a war and deceives other worlds to fight it. The Ortasians had once been a galactic power. But 30,000 years before the start of the book they decide to become isolated, to some extent, and peaceful. The reason for the change centers around a secret hidden in the Belt that the malevolent empire eventually discovers. The war involves our system, an empire, a confederation of planets, Ortasia, and pirates that want to take advantage of the chaos the war presents. When it looks like the story is about to end, a dramatic twist is added that will make the reader believe the secret that is discovered is only one of many secrets that are left to be discovered in the Belt. THE BELT is like a science fiction version of a western. There are mining operations like what we had during gold rush eras. Pirates are like the Indians the cavalry used to fight. The space stations Yukon, Siberia, Patagonia, and Tibet administer small portions of the Belt and are like the frontier forts the protected settlers a century and a quarter ago. There are vast unexplored areas full of potential riches and potential death. THE BELT could be the first in a series of books that will make the Kuiper Belt as interesting as our western frontier. Since our descendants may eventually live and work out there, someone needs to create the mythology and romance that will make the Belt inviting just like the dime novelists did for the Old West. They based their stories on truth and lies and provoked hundreds of thousands to go West to seek their fortune. If I can do the same thing for the Kuiper Belt, I might in the future become like Horace Greeley who told people to go West. My book THE BELT is my way of saying go to the Kuiper Belt and make your fortune as well as lead us to the stars. THE BELT deals with a place that exists. It is a place where people will work hard. It will be where people have their last chance to succeed. Millions of people want to travel to the stars to find adventure. But those who are willing to get their hands dirty and take chances in order to strike it rich, the Kuiper Belt is waiting for them. Just like the area between the Coasts is called fly-over country, the Kuiper Belt is the future version of fly-over country. If THE BELT can show the public that an alien region closer to us than the nearest alien star exists that needs to be explored and utilized, my effort will have not been in vain.

The Chimera of Prague: Paperback edition

By: Rick Pryll

Pryll captures all the international sexual tension and possibility that was 1990s Prague." - Bonnie Ditlevsen, editor, Penduline PressDivorced expat, Joseph, takes a gap year in the late nineties, womanizing Prague with a vengeance. He obsesses over one elusive girl, and tires of the parade of women he assimilates into his sad life, Along the way, he figures three things out. First, he is going to end up alone. Second, the object of his infatuation is changed by the infatuation, rendering her incompatible with him, and third, the search is not about the girl. It is about unearthing a way to love himself again. His soulmate is out there. In fact, he may have already met her. "Chimera" features a unique story-within-the-story format as Joseph digs from finish to start through his first love in an attempt to understand his particular brand of dysfunction. As much as the big story is about a love affair with a magical city, the vignettes are an ode to Western New York State from which he hails, and the woman who originally broke his heart.

Yavapai County

By: Rick Sprain

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Yavapai County

By: Rick Sprain

In 1864, Arizona was divided into four counties named after the local Indian communities: Yavapai, Yuma, Mohave, and Pima. Believed to have been the largest county ever created in the lower 48 states at the time, Yavapai encompassed over 65,000 square miles until 1891, when the state was divided into additional counties. Yavapai finally settled to 8,125 square miles. While still a US territory in 1900, Yavapai County had a population just under 13,800 people and was quite remote. Within a few years, postcards started appearing in drugstores, such as Brisley, Timerhoff, Owl, Heit, Corbin and Bork, or Eagle Drug in Prescott and Lynn Boyd or Mitchell in Jerome. Many of the original postcards showcase early mines, towns, and buildings that no longer exist today.

Blood on the Boulders

The Journals of Don Diego de Vargas, New Mexico, 1694-97

By: Diego de Vargas,John L. Kessell,Rick Hendricks

Having retaken Santa Fe by force of arms late in 1693, Diego de Vargas faces unrelenting challenges, waging active warfare against defiant Pueblo Indian resisters while maintaining peace with Pueblo allies; providing homes, food, and supplies for 1,500 unsure colonists; and bidding unceasingly for greater support from viceregal authorities in Mexico City. At the head of combined units of Spanish and Pueblo fighting men, the governor in 1694 leads repeated assaults on castle-like fortified sites. Through combat, prisoner exchange, and negotiation, he reestablishes the kingdom. Franciscans reopen some of the missions. Vargas founds the villa of Santa Cruz de la Cañada. Pueblos north and west of Santa Fe rebel again in 1696; wearily, Vargas reports more blood on the boulders. Through The Journals of don Diego de Vargas, translated from official and private correspondence, we are drawn back, through conflict and compromise, into New Mexico's formative era.

Cultures of Solidarity

Consciousness, Action, and Contemporary American Workers

By: Rick Fantasia

A commonplace assumption about American workers is that they lack class consciousness. This perception has baffled social scientists, demoralized activists, and generated a significant literature on American exceptionalism. In this provocative book, a young sociologist takes the prevailing assumptions to task and sheds new light upon this very important issue. In three vivid case studies Fantasia explores the complicated, multi-faceted dynamics of American working-class consciousness and collective action.

Somebody Told Me

The Newspaper Stories of Rick Bragg

By: Rick Bragg

With his bestselling All Over but the Shoutin', Rick Bragg gave us memorable stories of his own childhood. Here he offers the best of his work as a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist writing the remarkable stories of others. For twenty years, Bragg has focused his efforts on the common man. So while some of these stories are about people whose names we know—such as Susan Smith, the South Carolina mother who drowned her two sons—most are people whose names we've never heard, people who have survived tornadoes and swamps, racism and bombs. In incisive, unadorned prose that is nonetheless strikingly beautiful, these pieces rise above journalism to become literature and show the triumph of the human spirit.

Major

By: Rick Shelley

A mercenary must defend a mining planet from a deadly horde of raiders in this fourth entry in the classic military science fiction action series. The year is 2804 AD. Humanity has colonized the universe. But the authority of the Confederation of Human Worlds is spread thin. Where the Army of planet Earth cannot reach, mercenaries must keep the peace—and the Dirigent Mercenary Corps are the best of the best. Lon Nolan is skyrocketing through the ranks of the DMC, proving time and again that he’s got what it takes to be one of the most elite fighters in the galaxy. But as his family grows, he grows less certain that the mercenary life is for him. With one kid at home and another on the way, he grows more reluctant to march off to battle. But when duty calls, he must answer. In Major, Nolan is off to the mining planet of Bancroft on a routine security mission. Of course, this is the DMC, so it won’t stay routine for long . . . The Dirigent Mercenary Corps books are classics of military science fiction. Rick Shelley was himself a veteran of the U.S. Army, and his experience and knowledge shine through on every page.

Lieutenant Colonel

By: Rick Shelley

Mercenary Lon Nolan returns in a mind-blowing, far-future military science fiction thriller from the national bestselling author of Major. The year is 2804 AD. Humanity has colonized the universe. But the authority of the Confederation of Human Worlds is spread thin. Where the army of planet Earth cannot reach, mercenaries must keep the peace—and the Dirigent Mercenary Corps are the best of the best. Lon Nolan has distinguished himself at the DMC, and he has the battle scars to prove it. Now, the governor of the isolated mining planet of Bancroft again needs Lon’s help. The Colonial Mining Cartel is terrorizing the planet, and Lon is the only person who can stop it. He’d never thought he’d have to return, and now he’s going back to face a more disciplined adversary than ever before. This time, the responsibility for the Second Battalion falls on him. “Rick Shelley was a soldier at heart, and his books were written from the heart. They carry the real feel of the sweat, blood, and camaraderie of those on the front lines.” —Jack Campbell, New York Times–bestselling author “Rick Shelly knows how to write compelling military science fiction thrillers that are so action packed, readers hardly have a moment for an oxygen break.” —AllReaders.com

Silent Film Sound

By: Rick Altman

Silent films were, of course, never silent at all. However, the sound that used to accompany the screen picture in the early days of cinema has been neglected as an area of study. Altman explores the various musical, narrative, and even synchronized sound systems that enriched cinema before Jolson spoke.

Train Beyond the Mountains

Journeys on the Rocky Mountaineer

By: Rick Antonson

A captivating journey blending memoir, history, and biography that takes the reader on one of the world's most famous trains and tells of carving the dramatic route it follows, while pondering other international railways through the eyes of travellers past and present. Rick Antonson has ridden trains in more than thirty-five countries—but almost everything he thinks he knows about train travel changes when he boards the Rocky Mountaineer with his ten-year-old grandson, Riley. As they wind over trestles and through tunnels, each mile of track uncovers stories of dynamite and discovery, surveyors and schemers, explorers and visionaries, and the people who helped to build Canada against the odds of geography and politics. Surrounded by a wild landscape that sparks imagination, fellow passengers recount train travels in other countries, get nostalgic for the era of steam locomotives, and consider life’s unfinished journeys. Peppered with spirited dialogue, heartrending vignettes, and intriguing anecdotes, Train Beyond the Mountains is a travelogue with urgency: to make your travel dreams happen now. As one passenger muses, "The mistake we make is that we think we have time.

Labor's Conflict

Big Business, Workers and the Politics of Class

By: Tom Bramble,Rick Kuhn

Once widely regarded as the workers greatest hope for a better world, the ALP today would rather project itself as a responsible manager of Australian capitalism. Labor's Conflict provides an insightful account of the transformations in the Party's policies, performance and structures since its formation. Seasoned political analysts, Tom Bramble and Rick Kuhn offer an incisive appraisal of the Party's successes and failures, betrayals and electoral triumphs in terms of its competing ties with bosses and workers. The early chapters outline diverse approaches to understanding the nature of the Party and then assess the ALP's evolution in response to major social upheavals and events, from the strikes of the 1890s, through two World Wars, the Great Depression, and the post-war boom. The records of the Whitlam, Hawke, Keating, Rudd and Gillard governments are then dissected in detail. The compelling conclusion offers alternatives to the Australian Labor Party, for those interested in progressive change.
