Fifty-four-year-old army veteran and heart attack survivor Cal Paladin believes his life cannot get any worse, especially ever since his wife left him to join a desert-dwelling cult. Enter the United States Army. Cal, despite his poor health, gets called back to active duty service, along with his old army cohorts, to take part in a secret expedition to a parallel world. After things go horribly wrong, Cal and the remaining members of his unit are rescued by Russian commandos and taken to the city of New Arkaim, a Soviet colony established back in the 1950s. The inhabitants of the socialist colonial city possess no knowledge of the USSR's collapse back on Earth decades ago. And Alexei Podrovsky, head of New Arkaim's secret police, intends to keep it that way. Before long, Cal falls in love with Sofia Dashkova, a cultural hero of the colonial city whose star power is on the wane. Alexei Podrovsky thinks Sofia has outlived her usefulness. He wants her dead. Cal devises a way to save Sofia and himself, but Sofia is about to unleash a scheme of her own, one that will change the lives of everyone in New Arkaim.

Professor of modern literature Harold Miller discovers that some love affairs can last forever. Miller wrote a biography of the reclusive poet-novelist R.J. Hyatt, a veteran of World War I. In his day, Robert Jonas Hyatt was an immensely popular fantasist whose only published novel, The Land of Dust and Honey, was a long, dense exploration into an alternate world discovered by a soldier of The Great War and a young girl from a different century. Miller devoted his life to studying and critiquing Hyatt's novel, and is widely considered an expert on it. Despite his successes, the aging Harold Miller faces several obstacles in his life. For one, his adult daughter Elinor Miller, a professor of anthropology, is convinced that her father is suffering the onset of Alzheimer's disease. His editor Schuyler Heddings informs him that unless he uncovers some new material-preferably Hyatt's legendary 'lost' novel manuscript-Miller's biography on the writer will go out of print. And May Weldon, Hyatt's literary executor, despises Miller for reasons dating back many years. With some trepidation, Miller returns to visit May at her home in Haverford Township, Pennsylvania. There the scholar learns firsthand how Hyatt came to invent the world depicted in The Land of Dust and Honey. May Weldon also has another surprise in store for the professor, the kind men like Harold Miller dream about. But will Miller remember?

It's the perfect summer day for Tommy Holcomb and his friends to play stick ball. When a storm comes, a lightning strike opens up a hole in the ground. Tommy falls through the hole, and lands in a strange new world. The place is called Fragmenta. Once there, Tommy befriends Aronia, a twenty-foot tall blue caterpillar woman, and Glipt, a dwarf and self-proclaimed Grand Inquisitor who interrogates him to no end. Tommy learns from Aronia and Glipt that children are scarce in Fragmenta. Human children are considered the rarest. On Fragmenta, they are bought and sold for the magic that exists within them. Soon, Tommy is kidnapped and hauled onto an airship where children are held captive. He meets a boy named Raveesh who suffered a circumstance similar to Tommy's. As the boys make their journey toward a land island called Derkaloosh, Tommy befriends the ship captain's bodyguard Jamros, a giant and a devotee of the butterfly goddess Aronia. With Jamros's aid, Tommy plots his escape. Now, all Tommy must do is locate Aronia to find a way home.

Attending a rally denouncing the election of an American president bent on stripping away liberty and redefining what it means to be patriotic.Following his arrest, Burch is shipped to an internment camp. Before long, Burch gets transferred to a "reintegration camp," a site where prisoners are "processed" back into society.At the reintegration camp Burch meets his torturer who tasks the prisoner with writing down his confessions, an act through which Burch will appeal to the Great Patriot, the president himself, for his release. A prison guard promises the professor to smuggle the manuscript out of the camp and deliver it to The Resistance, but can Burch trust him?

Immunology of Human Infection

When we were first approached by the senior editors of this series to edit a book on interactions between the host and infectious agents, we accepted this offer as an exciting challenge. The only condition, readily agreed upon, was that such a book should focus on the immunology of infections in humans. Our reasons, if not biases, were severalfold. We sensed that the fields of microbiology and im munology, which had diverged as each was focusing on its individual search, were coming together. In agreement with the opinions expressed by Dr. Richard Krause in the Introduction, we strongly believed that the development of the immune system evolved in response to infectious agents and that the evolution of these agents was influenced in turn by the character of the host's responses. An inten sive examination of the multitude of primitive or more recently developed host defense mechanisms to determine their relative contribution to man's resistance to a given infectious agent appeared to us to be of crucial basic and practical interest. Many immune mechanisms studied in animals were being explored in humans and it appeared timely to focus particularly on what was known about man's resistance to infectious agents, correlating this information with lessons learned from relevant experiments in animal models.

Cyber Persistence Theory

A bold re-conceptualization of the fundamentals driving behavior and dynamics in cyberspace. Most cyber operations and campaigns fall short of activities that states would regard as armed conflict. In Cyber Persistence Theory, Michael P. Fischerkeller, Emily O. Goldman, and Richard J. Harknett argue that a failure to understand this strategic competitive space has led many states to misapply the logic and strategies of coercion and conflict to this environment and, thus, suffer strategic loss as a result. The authors show how the paradigm of deterrence theory can neither explain nor manage the preponderance of state cyber activity. They present a new theory that illuminates the exploitive, rather than coercive, dynamics of cyber competition and an analytical framework that can serve as the basis for new strategies of persistence. Drawing on their policy experience, they offer a new set of prescriptions to guide policymakers toward a more stable, secure cyberspace.
