His only demand is for payment in kind-rescue from an untenable situation. The price-marriage. The rogue trader who travels the shadowy byways of questionable commerce in three star systems may not be what he seems. Sebastian Asteril's past begins to surface as Cassie builds a new life for herself in the Crestar System. How could her husband have once been a high-ranking officer in the elite Seventh Fleet of the mighty Mariltar Nation when all the evidence points to his illegal trade in shlil dust? The mission that has consumed him becomes an intolerable burden when Sebastian learns that the evil that delivered Cassie to the auction block stalks her still. Somehow, he has to keep her safe. Somehow, he must protect his wife from the vicious alien force that wants her back.

Completely revised and updated in a second edition, this volume represents the only book ever written that analyzes sports writing and presents it as "exceptional" writing. Other books discuss sports writers as "beat reporters" in one area of journalism, whereas this book shows aspiring sports writers a myriad of techniques to make their writing stand out. It takes the reader through the entire process of sports writing: observation, interviewing techniques, and various structures of articles; types of "leads;" transitions within an article; types of endings; use of statistics; do's and don'ts of sports writing; and many other style and technique points. This text provides over 100 examples of leads drawn from newspapers and magazines throughout the country, and also offers up-to-date examples of sports jargon from virtually every major and minor sport played in the U.S.

Alex and Zoe Breen are ready to say hello to Jupiter and goodbye to his little brother Jonathan.

This is the team: immortal. Well they wish. Unfortunately they get yanked back to reality when much loved co-pilot Jake is KIA. As if matters couldnt get any worse, his replacement just so happens to be Alecs little sister Izzy. The only reason that poses a problem is because Alec is the Captain. Before the team has time to correct the issue theyre sent on a priority rescue mission. Izzy proves to be well worth the risk, as well as a good fit to this misfit crew. Mike, the alien weapons specialist, falls into a bit of an issue when trying to balance his loyalty to Alec, and his sense of right and wrong. Strangely enough the only one who manages to remain neutral in this situation is the wiz kid TJ and his number one invention Trace. Somehow these very different people (aliens) manage to share a small ship, and a knack for getting in over their heads.
