DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Her Majesty's Rebels The story of the way in which it had been acquired was perhaps not known, perhaps ignored in the English family, but it had been cherished in hatred and handed down from father to son in the Irish home. All that need be told of it now is the bare fact that, some two hundred years ago, one Henry Desmond took advantage of a penal law which enabled a younger son, on becoming a Pro testant, to disinherit the elder who remained a Catholic. He committed this act of treachery, obtained possession of the property, built on the banks of the stream near the village the house known as the Court, and, being well hated in the country, afterwards placed his estate in the hands of middlemen and took up his residence in England.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe British Empire did not fall apart, but survived and took to the stars! There is no U.S.A., but America and India have become the dynamic portions of a star empire. After dealing with a terrorist plot on the isolated system of New America, Her Majesty’s special agent Robert Rogers finds his loyalties tested as he fights to defend the sometimes prickly colonists of New America, and to foil a conspiracy within the British imperial government which he serves. Rogers is dismayed to find that the news he uncovered of the secret alliance between the hostile alien Gharnakh’sha and the star-spanning Islamic Caliphate has been suppressed. Worse, the fact that the Sons of Wilkinson, New America extremists Rogers previously thwarted, were in league with the Gharnakh’sha and the Caliphate has caused all New Americans to come under a cloud of imperial suspicion. When the Gharnakh’sha threaten once more, Rogers must decide whether or not to “go rogue,” and help the New Americans resist an oncoming occupation. What’s more, the only hope for the colonists may be to deploy a super-weapon which Rogers has so far done everything in his power to prevent them from ever using! About Her Majesty's American: "White presents thought provoking observations about humanity in an alternate future, with clever twists and turns."—Booklist "With a strong combination of alternate history, science fact, and science fiction, White (the Starfire series) takes readers into a future of interplanetary colonization and threats both foreign and domestic."—Publishers Weekly At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA series of rebellions in the small, impoverished Black Forest lordship of Hauenstein between 1725 and 1745 provide David Martin Luebke with evidence for a new and more nuanced view of peasant action and discourse on power and community. In the rebellions called the Salpeter Wars, the peasants of Hauenstein sought to curtail the expansion of centralizing bureaucratic powers that were eroding traditional local autonomies. They could not agree how best to resist and two factions emerged, the quarrels between them escalating finally into civil war. After twenty years of bloody feuding, several lawsuits, three Austrian military invasions, and half a dozen rebel attempts to engineer the personal involvement of the Emperor, the Salpeter Wars ended with the destruction of precisely those autonomies that Hauenstein's peasant elites had set out to defend. Luebke challenges the dominant paradigm on peasant rebellion which holds that social integration and political solidarity characterize the peasant village and structure its rebel activity. He argues for a concept of the peasant community flexible enough to accommodate the divisions characteristic of early modern peasant society. State building, combined with a long-term trend toward social stratification among peasants, rearranged patterns of mutual dependency between rulers and subjects in ways that often created factional rifts among the subjects. In His Majesty's Rebels Luebke elucidates the dynamics of peasant rebellions.
