Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Look at the Birdie is a collection of fourteen previously unpublished short stories from one of the most original writers in all of American fiction. In this series of perfectly rendered vignettes, written just as he was starting to find his comic voice, Kurt Vonnegut paints a warm, wise, and often funny portrait of life in post–World War II America—a world where squabbling couples, high school geniuses, misfit office workers, and small-town lotharios struggle to adapt to changing technology, moral ambiguity, and unprecedented affluence. In a poignant tale set in the depths of the Great Depression, two children of privilege get a lesson in empathy from a down-and-outer with an unusual plan to prove himself a success in the eyes of his dying mother. King and Queen of the Universe and the thirteen other never-before-published pieces that comprise Look at the Birdie serve as an unexpected gift for devoted readers who thought that Kurt Vonnegut's unique voice had been stilled forever—and provide a terrific introduction to his short fiction for anyone who has yet to experience his genius.

Book excerpt: Humanity has still not explored even a percentage of the power this universe has to offer. Instead, they have been fearing the greatest technology they can possibly ever have access to. The universe gives us a way to teleport with a hole in the space time continuum, that can be used to eliminate transport once and for all and all we have ever done is be afraid of it. Imagine going from your home to the top of Mount Everest or the bottom of Mariana Trench by pressing a button and walking through it. With a little command over gravity, this is what humanity can achieve but all humans are doing is fearing that the black hole will eat Earth up someday, least realising if the black hole someday comes for Earth, it will send us to another galaxy just like our kings and queens. It will make Earth the king of a galaxy like it made them the kings and queens of the universe. This is a story of scientific probability of the ever expanding universe. This is story of The Black Hole Kings and Queens - The Kings and Queens born out of a Black Hole with the Sacrifice of Amnesse. Black holes have been around much before life on Earth has. Earth is a single planet among billions of planets in billions of galaxies and humans have never explored the black hole. They have seen it from afar and have declared it a monster whereas that is the only thing that will take them to the future. They say we need to preserve resources for future generations, but they are too scared to realise that the black hole gives us access to infinite resources in this ever expanding universe and we just have to be courageous enough to enter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I willingly present this book to every person capable of understanding the divine words sent to people, especially the groups of grown up men and women who are eager for gaining deeply-rooted knowledge. Those targeted people are the ones who have reached the age of twenty-five and more. Those are the people who seek the bases of knowledge that through its flashlights leads to enlightening the value of freeing the soul of humanity through validity and sincerity of worship. This is to promote the value of humanity by its creator in the three holy books which are Koran, Torah and the Bible. They also highlight the value of woman by what is mentioned about her in the holy verses of God, the glory, in the Koran, and the other holy books including the Bible, and the Torah. I present this with hard evidences that witness God's veneration for women so that we will succeed in facing the tyranny of the cultural slavery and in freeing women from the materialistic human slavery.

As Mare bears the weight of Silent Stone in the palace, her once-ragtag band of newbloods and Reds continue organizing, training, and expanding. They prepare for war, no longer able to linger in the shadows. And Cal, the exiled prince with his own claim on Mare's heart, will stop at nothing to bring her back. When blood turns on blood, and ability on ability, there may be no one left to put out the fire—leaving Norta as Mare knows it to burn all the way down. Perfect for fans of George R.R.
