Though taking place against the background of the colorful and turbulent years of the American Revolution, this is primarily a tale of espionage and betrayal. Within the fabric of the earth-shaking events of those times, the author has interwoven a set of characters who could have credibly existed, but who are, of course, pure fiction. What is not fiction was George Washington's shrewd, efficient, and amazingly effective use of his secret service during the long struggle for American independence. Even so, events were to prove that at times mere chance weighed in at the right time and place to aid in the birth of this new and very different nation; one that a future great president would call "the last best hope of mankind".

"Be so subtle that you are invisible. Be so mysterious that you are intangible. Then you will control your rivals's fate' un Tzu, from The Art of War A community of fifty five million expatriates. Up to two trillion dollars in assets. A highly integrated interconnected network of influence and favour. A firm base on the Pacific Rim. Ambitions to influence the West. Imagine the potential power of such an organisation. You don't have to. This is the Overseas Chinese. Sterling Seagrave's brilliant new book, Lords of the Rim, uncovers a complex web of operations which already dominates the Far East and which is already making inroads into the West. It is a superbly researched and spectacularly told account of an extraordinary phenomenon, telling just who the Overseas Chinese are and how they became so powerful. Spanning thousands of years it encompasses stories of murder and betrayal, bravery and corruption; of triads, syndicates, kingmakers, merchants, emperors, generals, spies and pirates. In telling this masterful and entertaining history, Seagrave provides the reader with a cautionary tale- that Chinese strategies so effective for centuries are just as succesful today."

"May Steven Saylor's Roman empire never fall. A modern master of historical fiction, Saylor convincingly transports us into the ancient world...enthralling!" —USA Today on Roma Continuing the saga begun in his New York Times bestselling novel Roma, Steven Saylor charts the destinies of the aristocratic Pinarius family, from the reign of Augustus to height of Rome's empire. The Pinarii, generation after generation, are witness to greatest empire in the ancient world and of the emperors that ruled it—from the machinations of Tiberius and the madness of Caligula, to the decadence of Nero and the golden age of Trajan and Hadrian and more. Empire is filled with the dramatic, defining moments of the age, including the Great Fire, the persecution of the Christians, and the astounding opening games of the Colosseum. But at the novel's heart are the choices and temptations faced by each generation of the Pinarii. Steven Saylor once again brings the ancient world to vivid life in a novel that tells the story of a city and a people that has endured in the world's imagination like no other.

Captain Gregory Nelson, captain of a Reilly World transport cargo spaceship, invites Investigator Douglas Kincaid to accompany him to the mining world of Ryye on the rim of the galaxy. Captain Nelson had assisted Doug another time, after Doug had went on a blitz taking down the criminal empire and rescuing the abducted women on the world of Dwyer, he had transported the women back to Trenton, the capitol world of the Empire. The plan was simply. Accompany Captain Nelson to the world of Ryye and then back to Trenton, the capitol world of the Empire. But plans have a way of going astray. When they observe a rogue independent cargo hauler, by the name of Blackjack, delivering abducted women and children to the self-proclaimed mayor of the city of Joetown, to be pressed into sexual servitude, Doug vows to rescue the women and children. Doug, along with his companions-R Javelle Jovok, a humaniform robot, and fellow investigator Lynda Ryan-team up with a woman known only as Ma. Together they rescue the abducted women and children. When the dust settles, the city of Joetown is ready for a regime change.

This work is the first comprehensive history of the Lebanese migrant communities of colonial French West Africa, a vast expanse that covered present-day Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Guinea, Benin and Mauritania. Where others have concentrated on the commercial activities of these migrants, casting them as archetypal middlemen, this work reconstructs not just their economic strategies, but also their social and political lives. Moreover, it examines the fraught responses of colonial Frenchmen to the unsettling presence of these interlopers of empire--responses which, with their echoes of metropolitan racism, helped to shape the ways in which Lebanese migrants represented themselves and justified their place in West Africa. This is a work which attempts not just to reshape broader understandings of diasporic life-of Janus-like existences lived in transit between distant locales, and de- pendent on the constant to-and-fro of people, news, and goods--but also to challenge the way we think about empires, and the relations between their constituent territories and diverse inhabitants.

The Roman Empire has been an object of fascination for the past two millennia, and the story of how a small city in central Italy came to dominate the whole of the Mediterranean basin, most of modern Europe and the lands of Asia Minor and the Middle East, has often been told. It has provided the model for European empires from Charlemagne to Queen Victoria and beyond, and is still the basis of comparison for investigators of modern imperialisms. By an exhaustive investigation of the changing meanings of certain key words and their use in the substantial remains of Roman writings and in the structures of Roman political life, this book seeks to discover what the Romans themselves thought about their imperial power in the centuries in which they conquered the known world and formed the empire of the first and second centuries AD.
