Shot down in Hue City while scouting for bases to move the 1st Air Cavalry to break the siege, U.S. Navy Seabee Officer Kevin Corcoran takes shelter with South Vietnamese holdouts. Intense enemy fire drives off rescue helicopters, leaving Kevin and a wounded friend isolated in Vietcong territory. As battle rages around him, Kevin ponders the fate of his Vietnamese lover, Linh, whom he knows is on a Vietcong hit list. To ease his anguish, he reflects on his battalion's efforts to build the bases, roads and air facilities the combat forces need to operate in an undeveloped country.U.S. Marines rush in to retake Hue. Trained for counterinsurgency warfare, the young “grunts” quickly adapt to urban combat and begin to wrest the old imperial capital from the North Vietnamese Army. Will they get to Kevin in time? And what fate awaits Linh at the hands of the vicious enemy? Asphalt and Blood is replete with scenes of fierce combat, Seabee ingenuity and “can do” spirit, and whirlwind wartime romance.

La Brea Tar Pits once trapped prehistoric mammals. Today that killer has a chemical cousin in the Athabasca oil sands of Alberta, Canada—immense deposits of natural asphalt destined for upgrading to synthetic crude oil. If the harvesting of this natural asphalt continues unabated, we might find ourselves stuck in a muck of a different kind. Humanity has used asphalt for thousands of years. This humble hydrocarbon may have glued the first arrowhead to the first shaft, but the changes wrought by this material are most dramatic since its emergence as pavement. Since the 1920s the automobile and blacktop have allowed unprecedented numbers of Americans to experience the beauty of their continent from the Adirondacks to the Rockies and beyond, to Big Sur and the Pacific Coast Highway. Blacktop roads, runways, and parking lots constitute the central arteries of our environment, creating a distinct “political territory” and a “political economy of velocity.” In Asphalt: A History Kenneth O’Reilly provides a history of this everyday substance. By tracing the history of asphalt—in both its natural and processed forms—from ancient times to the present, O’Reilly sets out to identify its importance within various contexts of human society and culture. Although O’Reilly argues that asphalt creates our environment, he believes it also eventually threatens it. Looking at its role in economics, politics, and global warming, O’Reilly explores asphalt’s contribution to the history, and future, of America and the world.

Something Hungers Beneath the Town of Ashburn David is a human spirit trapped in a demon’s body, forced to serve the evil being who saved his soul but ruined his life. As the supernatural enforcer of Ashburn, David’s responsible for keeping the gods and demons in town under control and out of trouble. But he's also supposed to keep them safe. So when the local sheriff finds a minor demon broken and drained of his blood, David begins a hunt for the killer. As David sheds light on one part of the truth, he’s pulled down into an even greater darkness that lies deep beneath the town. A hidden world steeped in primordial myth, where vampiric demons roam, desperate for blood. A forgotten city built by an ancient race that thrived before the time of gods and demons. But also, a possible path to freedom. David may finally have a chance to escape Ashburn, but to do so, first he’ll have to survive a harrowing journey through the caverns and tunnels beneath the town, where everyone, including his traveling companions, wants only one thing from him—his blood. "The Blood of Ashburn" is Book #3 in the Ashes Still Burn Series.

‘If you want someone dead, make sure they die’ Abandoned in the middle of the forest and left to die, Claraicy harbors a lot of resentment towards those who physically and emotionally abused her.

As her gruesome acts of revenge hit the press, Doctor Scott (the DNA scientist who unintentionally created her) plus an elite force of professional soldiers go to extreme lengths to subdue her. Despite this, with Claraicy’s hormones going haywire she craves a mate. As frustration mounts, blood-thirsty demons on both sides become unshackled. As Claraicy becomes more creature than human, her fragile mind is fixated on the one person she despised the most, Santa Claus.

A genre-bending romp that is at once reminiscent of Raymond Carver and Carl Hiaasen. Steven Carter, who has been called "madly inventive" (Kirkus Reviews) and "darkly comic" (Village Voice), has a genius for letting his characters speak for themselves, and here they do so quite literally. Famous Writers School is composed of three aspiring authors' letters and stories sent to a correspondence course by that grandiose name, and the self-serving "lessons" that Wendell Newton, their endearingly obtuse instructor, doles out in response. Wendell's oddball collection of students includes Rio, an alluring blues singer on whom he quickly develops a crush; Linda Trane, an unhinged housewife who may be stalking him; and Dan, a truly talented author of hard-boiled detective fiction. As Dan's gritty mystery arrives piece by piece, Wendell gets hooked on the story--and decides to dress it up in his own style in order to pass it off as his creation.

The neon lights of Las Vegas mask the horrors hiding in the shadows. Horrors like my ancient vampiric maker, the Goddess Tawaret. Tawaret promises me power in exchange for helping her. She wants to be worshiped again, and has me gathering vampire followers. My boyfriend, Jack, tries to warn me about her, but I don’t listen. Too late, I realize my mistake in accepting. Now there is no escape. After the slaughter she left behind in Portland, no one wants to risk her wrath. With Jack suddenly abandoning me, no one will come to my rescue. I’d rather die than be bound to her for eternity. It just might come to that. Goddess of the Ancients is the third book in the Changing Bodies trans-masc M/M paranormal thriller series. Content warnings for violence, torture, and sex. While there is a romantic subplot, the book is not a romance. The Series is best read in order.

This volume of the IARC Monographs provides evaluations of the carcinogenicity of bitumens and their emissions, the N-heterocyclic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons benz[a]acridine, benz[c]acridine, dibenz[a,h]acridine, dibenz[a,j]acridine, dibenz[c,h]acridine, carbazole and 7H-dibenzo[c,g]carbazole, as well as the S-hetrocyclic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons benzo[b]naphtho[2,1-d]thiophene and dibenzothiophene. Bitumens are produced by distillation of crude oil during petroleum refining, and also occur naturally. Bitumens can be divided into six broad classes, according to their physical properties and specifications required for different applications. The major use (about 80%) of bitumens is for road paving; other uses include roofing, waterproofing, sealing and painting. The term "bitumen" should not be confused with "asphalt", which refers to the mixture of bitumen (4-10% by weight), small stones, sand and filler used for road paving. Bitumens are complex mixtures that contain a large number of organic chemical compounds. Application of bitumens may generate emissions (fumes and vapours) that may contain, among volatile and non-volatile compounds, a number of known or probable carcinogens. An IARC Monographs Working Group reviewed epidemiological evidence, animal bioassays, and mechanistic and other relevant data to reach conclusions as to the carcinogenic hazard to humans of various occupations that entail exposure to bitumens and bitumen emissions, including road paving, roofing, and application of mastic asphalt, and to various heterocyclic polycyclic aromatic compounds.
