The Space Marines, mankind's foremost defenders, wage war in two epic tales of heroism and horror. The Space Marines, mankind's foremost defenders, wage war in two epic tales of heroism and horror. In The Death of Antagonis, the Black Dragons battle a tide of walking dead that blight the face of a world. Fighting alongside the Inquisition and the warrior-sisters of the Adepta Sororitas, the mutated Space Marines find their allies as much of a threat as their foes. In Death of Integrity, two Chapters - the Novamarines and Blood Drinkers - come together to clear an ancient space hulk of alien invaders at the behest of the Adeptus Mechanicus. But something great and dark lurks at the heart of the drifting starship, something that threatens to tear both Chapters apart.

From the beginning of time, the "Defender of good and evil" has been in existence. For this reason, the world will be a better place for all mankind. There has been a struggle to the present for control, to have power over all nations and to rule over mankind. There has been constant conflict between good and evil in our world throughout history. The "Defender" has become the peacemaker, the balance between this good and evil. John Ackerman's great, great grandfather brought the "Defender" to America, from southwestern Germany, on a Packet Ship, in the late 1700's. Undisturbed, and hidden by some old pictures and clothes, in the attic of John's and Josephine's home, a worn hump-back trunk held the "Defender." The couple knew, if they ever needed it, all they had to do was take the "Defender" out. Only to be used for good, and never for evil, the instructions were written on an old piece of dried animal skin laid on top of the golden box that housed the "Defender." Hold it in a left hand and concentrate on a special need; something one of them wanted to make their life better, or deemed necessary to fulfill their needs. Over time, never having a need to use it, they forgot about the "Defender." Josephine died at the wonderful age of 105, and John lived to be the ripe old age of 107. Rediscovered in the old trunk in the attic after their deaths, it gives me great pleasure to share with you the rest of the story.

A new epic of alien invasion and human resistance by Hugo Award-winning author Will McIntosh. The invaders came to claim earth as their own, overwhelming us with superior weapons and the ability to read our minds like open books. Our only chance for survival was to engineer a new race of perfect soldiers to combat them. Seventeen feet tall, knowing and loving nothing but war, their minds closed to the aliens. But these saviors could never be our servants. And what is done cannot be undone.

The Defenders of Liberty presents a history of economic liberalism from the Renaissance to the present. It chronicles the tradition of thought that sees human nature as social yet self-interested, methodological individualism as its key analytical tool, and property rights as foundational to a civilised society. In the development of this way of thinking, it considers the contributions of many key thinkers including Niccolò Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Richard Cantillon, A.J.R. Turgot, David Hume, Adam Smith, Nassau William Senior, Richard Cobden, Herbert Spencer, Jean-Baptiste Say, Carl Menger, William Stanley Jevons, Gaetano Mosca, Eugen Böhm-Bawerk, Vilfredo Pareto, Phillip Wicksteed, Edwin Cannan, Ludwig von Mises, Lionel Robbins, F.A. Hayek, W.H. Hutt, Milton Friedman, George Stigler, Murray N. Rothbard, James M. Buchanan, and Thomas Sowell. The book contends that liberalism needs to be grounded in realism, and that it has been derailed whenever economists have deviated from an explicitly realist understanding of human nature, individualism and property rights. It argues that the cause of liberalism was compromised by errors in economic reasoning by such major figures as David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, Alfred Marshall, A.C. Pigou, and John Maynard Keynes. In diagnosing what has gone wrong for liberalism in the twenty-first century, The Defenders of Liberty argues against substituting mathematical abstraction for causal realism; it opposes interventionist central banking; it seeks to recover economic liberalism from social and political liberalism, which are somewhat unrelated schools of thought; it resists a view of human nature rooted in selfishness or atomised individualism; and finally alerts defenders of freedom to the ruthless but effective language games played by their opponents. This book will be of interest to the educated general reader as well as undergraduates and postgraduates in disciplines such as economics, political theory and philosophy.

In Defender in Chief, celebrated constitutional scholar John Yoo makes a provocative case against Donald Trump's alleged disruption of constitutional rules and norms. Donald Trump isn't shredding the Constitution—he's its greatest defender. Ask any liberal—and many moderate conservatives—and they'll tell you that Donald Trump is a threat to the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution. Mainstream media outlets have reported fresh examples of alleged executive overreach or authoritarian White House decisions nearly every day of his presidency. In the 2020 primaries, the candidates have rushed to accuse Trump of destroying our democracy and jeopardizing our nation's very existence. Yoo argues that this charge has things exactly backwards. Far from considering Trump an inherent threat to our nation's founding principles, Yoo convincingly argues that Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Hamilton would have seen Trump as returning to their vision of presidential power, even at his most controversial. It is instead liberal opponents who would overthrow existing constitutional understanding in order to unseat Trump, but in getting their man would inflict permanent damage on the office of the presidency, the most important office in our constitutional system and the world. This provocative and engaging work is a compelling defense of an embattled president's ideas and actions.

Threatened by impending nuclear war, both the USA and the Soviet Union have retreated deep underground, locking themselves in fortified subterranean bunkers. In their stead, robots they've nicknamed "Leadys" have been fighting in their place, waging war against one another for years on end. However, when a group of American troops emerge from their shelter to investigate how the war is proceeding, the Leadys have a strange truth to reveal to them.
