Jim Cue's first published book of short stories include science fiction and fantasy where everything is just a little "off" the worlds we know. "Braxton's Pride" and "Blame Not These Accursed Stars" tell two alternate stories of the short career of Jack the Ripper. In "A Baker's Dozen," college engineering whiz Chris Christopherson, in a case of mistaken identity, is kidnapped by the most attractive woman he's ever met; Allison Li Chen, the Commander of European Commonwealth Security (Space Division); on a collision course into uncharted Ja'an territory. "No King Cole" is an unexpected love story that pairs the irony of "The Gift of the Maji" with the deception and violence of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in a world of shadowy cyber-doubles. In "There's Been a Change in Me," a whistleblower and his former secretary-turned-fugitive conspire to take on the Interstellar Corporation before it can make them, and their secrets, disappear. You'll find these stories, and more, in this page-turning debut.

Empowered with information about future events, their mission is to protect the people of Earth from malevolent criminals from the Hundred Worlds and ensure that the timeline is not disrupted by the actions of any interdimensional travelers. After thirty years of a covert war only a handful of Hundred Worlds criminals remain on Earth. The last surviving Guardians have teamed up with a top secret government organization assigned to investigate extraterrestrial visitors and interdimensional threats. When a pair of spacecraft land on Earth in late 2004 and make demands to take over part of the United States the team faces its greatest challenge. After their base is attacked by the interdimensional terrorists the Guardians are forced to ally with their lifelong enemies to defend the Earth and protect the timeline from destruction. A fast paced, riveting adventure unfolds as the unlikely allies battle their mutual enemies in My Life During Wartime, the sequel to A Flight of Onesimus which introduced the team of Hundred Worlds heroes.

Classical Modern Philosophy introduces students to the key philosophers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and explores their most important works. Jeffrey Tlumak takes the reader on a chronological journey from Descartes to Kant, tracing the themes that run through the period and their interrelations. The main texts covered are: Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy Spinoza's Ethics Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding Leibniz's Discourse on Metaphysics and Monadology Berkeley's A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge and Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding and Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion Kant's Critique of Pure Reason Classical Modern Philosophy is the ideal textbook to accompany a course in the history of modern philosophy, but each chapter can also be studied alone as an introduction to the featured philosopher or work. Jeffrey Tlumak outlines and assesses prominent interpretations of the texts, and surveys the legacy of each great thinker.
