All three books in 'Spoils Of War', a series of science fiction novels by Conor H. Carton, now available in one volume! Bottle Born Blues: Shakbout Mansard, an artificial life form, wants a quiet life with his family. However, his dangerous knowledge of a plot to overthrow the government of Mengchi makes him a target for terrorists and security forces alike. To make matters worse, he has been hiding a secret that could threaten the lives of all free bottle-born life forms across the systems. In this gripping sci-fi novel, Shakbout must take desperate measures to protect his loved ones and prevent a systems-wide war between factions. The Thousand Year Fall: In the second book in the series, Shakbout finds himself pursued by his past and embroiled in a race against time to stop a cult from destroying inhabited systems. As he becomes a pawn in the struggle to harness the power of the Bottle Born, Shakbout must rely on allies to survive. Ladder To The Sun: Shakbout is forced back into a dangerous situation when a claimant to the Emperor's throne arises, risking a return to war in the Inhabited Systems. Along with his allies, Shakbout fights to stop the process, but faces many obstacles from those who wish to prevent him. As he delves deeper, he uncovers a conspiracy that reveals the dark truth about the spoils of war.

'Parables of the Middle Way' combines fiction and commentary to provide various imaginative ways into the core themes of Middle Way Philosophy already developed in Robert M Ellis's other books. The stories are either original, or adapted from a range of sources: philosophical, Buddhist and Christian. They include the story of a ship caught in a strait between two intractably opposed ports, an inside-out version of Plato's cave, a set of variations of the Good Samaritan suggesting all the other ways of doing good, and the early life of the Buddha transposed to eighteenth century England. Robert M. Ellis is the founder of the Middle Way Society, author of 'Migglism' and of the 'Middle Way Philosophy' series. He has a Ph.D. in Philosophy as well as a long-standing interest in fiction, and is devoted to developing new and more adequate ways of thinking that can be applied in practice.

29 and unmarried, gasp! - can you think of anything worse? In 1920s rural Canada, Valancy Stirling is considered "past it" and with a controlling, nagging mother and petty gossips for relatives she feels trapped in the life she has ended up in and when she is diagnosed with a terminal heart condition and given a year to live, it seems she will die without ever experiencing happiness. And so, she rebels. She leaves her family home slamming the door as she does and moves in with her old friend Cissy and starts working as a housekeeper. The independence is intoxicating - as is a growing friendship with local man, Barney Snaith. It looks as though Valancy will have love to warm her heart in her final months. But secrets on both sides threaten to ruin things. The intoxicating story of love and loss is perfect for fans of Elizabeth Gaskell and Jodie Picoult. Lucy Maud (L.M.) Montgomery was a Canadian author best known for a series of children's books beginning with 'Anne of Green Gables'.
