Forsaken beyond redemption and forced into servitude for his sins, only death can be his salvation. As payment for his crimes, Saden was disowned by his Vampyre race and made a Drakon—a slave trained to become a soulless killer and forced by his master to apprehend other demon criminals. He was an assassin with no future except the promise of death at the end of his sentence to relieve his suffering. His life was forfeit, and had been since the day he was betrayed by the one man he'd trusted with his life—his uncle, Gabriel. The only respite in the madness of his world lay in the heart of a warrior he'd sworn to protect. A woman who wasn't even aware of his existence. Daneya had learned early in life that the only one she could depend on was herself. Circumstance had made her hard and unyielding, with only the love of her daughter to keep her going. But she was running from a past that chased her relentlessly, and a man who wouldn't let her go. Even after joining an organization dedicated to destroying demons who preyed on humans, she still couldn't escape the Vampyre who haunted her nightmares. Gabriel would find her. It was only a matter of time. Her only chance was to trust in a criminal whose sins made him the very thing she hated. Yet Saden wasn't what she'd expected at all. Could she learn to trust him with her life and heart before Gabriel took everything in his lust for power?

A small band of pilots fight against a seemingly unstoppable alien empire in this thrilling space opera. Commander Lanoe's skills made him a hero of the interplanetary civil war, but he was left with nothing except battle scars and painful memories. But now he faces the greatest threat mankind has ever known. Once again, Lanoe must go to war -- but he does not go alone. A ragtag band of criminal and outcast pilots stand with him. Some are old friends, one an old enemy, and despite their own battle scars, they are the only ones willing to fight back. Sometimes the few must stand against the many, but the best these aces can do might not be good enough. This explosive first novel from D. Nolan Clark is an epic tale of a fight against the odds -- and the terror of realizing that we're no longer alone in the cold vacuum of space.

"Nothing less than astonishing..."—Booklist (starred review) From a renowned international journalist comes a galvanizing international bestseller about mankind's oldest, most persistent, and most brutal problem—world hunger. There are now over 800 million starving people in the world. An average of 25,000 men and women, and in particular children, perish from hunger every day. Yet we produce enough food to feed the entire human population one-and-a-half times over. So why is it that world hunger remains such a deadly problem? In this crucial and inspiring work, award-winning author Martín Caparrós travels the globe in search of an answer. His investigation brings him to Africa and the Indian subcontinent where he witnesses starvation first-hand; to Chicago where he documents the greed of corporate food distributors; and to Buenos Aires where he accompanies trash scavengers in search of something to eat. An international bestseller when it first appeared, this first-ever English language edition has been updated by Caparrós to consider whether conditions that have improved or worsened since the book's European publication. With its deep reflections and courageous journalism, Caparrós has created a powerful and empathic work that remains committed to ending humankind's longest ongoing crisis.
