On Destiny

"The moment I realized I had to go back to Earth, I panicked. It wasn't a little bit of panic. It was the kind that sucked the air and light from the room and made my body go cold with sweat and fear. I knew that if I did this, if I went back, then I had a shot of saving everyone—Earthers, Aunare, everyone—but it could cost me everything and everyone I love. And it could cost me my life.But that moment of panic passed. It was still an insane, stupid, deadly idea, but the more I thought about it, the more I knew going back to Earth was the only plan that made sense.Lorne agrees that this is the right plan, but he wants to come with me. We're married now. A team. A unit. Where I go, he goes. It was in our marriage vows. And while I love that, I know that going to Earth will hurt him. He'll want to see where I lived, how I survived, and seeing, knowing, understanding my past better will only hurt him. And yet, I don't have a better plan.There will be no hiding there. Not anymore. Everyone on Earth knows my face. The vids of what happened on Abaddon and Sel'Ani have played throughout the known universe for months. But seeing those vids opened the Earthers' eyes. They realized that I'd been fighting for them for years before I left. I'd taught martial arts, patrolled the streets, and helped save as many of them as I could. And now, somehow, my story has inspired Eathers to speak up and act out. My name has become the rallying cry of the revolution.Returning to Earth is risky, but nothing in life is without risk. I'm not afraid anymore. All I feel is determination to win. I won't stop until SpaceTech has been destroyed. >From Aileen Erin, the USA Today Bestselling Author of the Alpha Girl series, comes an epic adventure in space: The Aunare Chronicles!Book1: Off PlanetBook 2: Off BalanceBook 3: In Command (an eBook Novella)Book 4: On MissionBook 5: On Destiny'Counting the days until the next installment.' - Nicole B, Goodreads'If you're looking for a well written, engrossing sci-fi read filled with romance, action and intrigue you will love this series.' - Sharon, Obsession with Books 'Suspenseful sci-fi with complex world-building and a tough-as-nails heroine you'll want to root for!'— Elizabeth Briggs, NYT Bestselling Author of Future Shock'Action adventure, space drama, political schemes, and just the right hit of romance has this series turning into an absolute must-read.

In Command

"Some days I wake up and can't believe that I'm on Sel'Ani. I can't believe that I'm here and that I've fallen in love with the man from my dreams. I can't believe that I said yes to marrying him and becoming the High Queen of the Aunare. I want to stay in bed with him all day where we're safe from everything else that's happening, but saying yes and being in love with Lorne didn't make all our problems disappear. The Aunare don't understand what SpaceTech is capable of. They don't understand what happened on Earth thirteen years ago. They don't understand who I am and why anyone—especially their High King—thinks I should rule. When they question what happened, what I lived through, all the horrors of Liberation Week—I want to scream at them until they realize how blind and ignorant they've been, but I can't. I can't let my anger and frustration take over. They don't understand what happened, and I need to find a way to make them understand. The war with SpaceTech isn't coming. It's already here. And we are losing. I might not be the High Queen they wanted, but if we want to win this war with SpaceTech, I'm the one they need.

The Virus in the Age of Madness

"A trenchant look at how the coronavirus reveals the dangerous fault lines of contemporary society With medical mysteries, rising death tolls, and conspiracy theories beamed minute by minute through the vast web universe, the coronavirus pandemic has irrevocably altered societies around the world. In this sharp essay, world-renowned philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy interrogates the many meanings and metaphors we have assigned to the pandemic—and what they tell us about ourselves. Drawing on the philosophical tradition from Plato and Aristotle to Lacan and Foucault, Lévy asks uncomfortable questions about reality and mythology: he rejects the idea that the virus is a warning from nature, the inevitable result of global capitalism; he questions the heroic status of doctors, asking us to think critically about the loci of authority and power; he challenges the panicked polarization that dominates online discourse. Lucid, incisive, and always original, Lévy takes a bird’s-eye view of the most consequential historical event of our time and proposes a way to defend human society from threats to our collective future."

Off Balance

"Nightmares are plaguing me. I wake up smelling sulfur, feeling my skin burning, knowing that I'm burning to death on the surface of Abaddon, but I'm not. I'm on Sel'Ani, my father's home planet. I'm alive and using my true name and finally free to be myself. And yet, I'm completely falling apart. Every time I wake up screaming, Lorne is there. I don't understand how he knows when I need him, but he does, and even if I can't say the words aloud, I'm so thankful that he's there. Because I wouldn't survive this without him. It's not just my nightmares and exhaustion and trauma making this hard. I thought escaping Earth, Abaddon, and SpaceTech would mean I was safe, but I'm not. The Aunare don't want me here, mostly because if I'm here that means my betrothal to the heir to the Aunare High Throne is back on. I would call it off, but I can't seem to make myself say the words because Lorne is the heir. Everything in me is drawn to Lorne, the man that haunted my dreams, the man that lures me in with his every look, the man that I can't seem to get away from because everywhere I go, every time I need him, he's there. Lorne makes me forget that the Aunare hate me enough to send assassins to kill me. I can't resist him. Lorne makes me think that everything is possible, that I will be okay, that I should just say yes to him. Because being with him means that I will eventually become the High Queen of the Aunare, and I'm not sure I can do that job. I'm not sure I should. Because the Aunare hate me for being a half-Earther, and I'm just one more assassination attempt away from being dead.

The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable

"Are we deranged? The acclaimed Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh argues that future generations may well think so. How else to explain our imaginative failure in the face of global warming? In his first major book of nonfiction since In an Antique Land, Ghosh examines our inability—at the level of literature, history, and politics—to grasp the scale and violence of climate change. The extreme nature of today’s climate events, Ghosh asserts, make them peculiarly resistant to contemporary modes of thinking and imagining. This is particularly true of serious literary fiction: hundred-year storms and freakish tornadoes simply feel too improbable for the novel; they are automatically consigned to other genres. In the writing of history, too, the climate crisis has sometimes led to gross simplifications; Ghosh shows that the history of the carbon economy is a tangled global story with many contradictory and counterintuitive elements. Ghosh ends by suggesting that politics, much like literature, has become a matter of personal moral reckoning rather than an arena of collective action. But to limit fiction and politics to individual moral adventure comes at a great cost. The climate crisis asks us to imagine other forms of human existence—a task to which fiction, Ghosh argues, is the best suited of all cultural forms. His book serves as a great writer’s summons to confront the most urgent task of our time."
