mercenary mack reynolds

Mack Reynolds novel Mercenary is a science fiction novel. This thought-provoking tale takes place in a future society dominated by political beliefs, power struggles, and international interactions. Miles Gilbert, the protagonist, is a professional mercenary, a soldier for hire in a world where nations no longer fight traditional wars but instead hire mercenaries to fight on their behalf. Gilbert is a multifaceted figure who navigates a morally confusing environment where loyalty, politics, and personal ethics collide. As the novel progresses, Gilbert becomes engaged in a succession of worldwide wars, each of which is motivated by the interests of strong nations and companies. His experiences shed insight on the complex mechanics of a society where conflict has become a profitable business. Mack Reynolds deftly employs Mercenary as a vehicle for exploring themes of war, diplomacy, and the ethics of violence. The story explores concerns about the role of mercenaries in influencing nations fates, as well as the blurred lines between patriotism and profit. Mercenary is a politically charged and intellectually fascinating work of science fiction that asks readers to consider the implications of a society in which violence is outsourced to private warriors.

The Reynolds Pamphlet (1797) is an essay by Alexander Hamilton. Written while Hamilton was serving as Secretary of the Treasury, the Pamphlet was intended as a defense against accusations that Hamilton had conspired with James Reynolds to misuse funds meant to cover unpaid wages to Revolutionary War veterans. Admitting to an affair with Maria, Reynolds’ wife, Hamilton claims that the accusation is nothing more than an attempt at blackmail. This revelation not only endangered Hamilton’s career as a public figure, but constituted perhaps the earliest sex scandal in American history. “The bare perusal of the letters from Reynolds and his wife is sufficient to convince my greatest enemy that there is nothing worse in the affair than an irregular and indelicate amour. For this, I bow to the just censure which it merits. I have paid pretty severely for the folly and can never recollect it without disgust and self condemnation. It might seem affectation to say more.”Accused of corruption in his role as Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton was forced to confess his adultery, bringing shame to himself as a married man and supposedly honorable public figure, yet saving his political career in the process. Looking back on his affair with Maria Reynolds from a distance of five years, Hamilton expresses regret for his foolishness, yet wholeheartedly denies her husband’s accusation that he had been involved in his scheme to misuse government funds. Perhaps the first sex scandal in American history, the Reynolds affair sent shockwaves throughout the burgeoning republic, leaving many to question the motives and character of their leaders for the first time, though certainly not the last.

August Macke (1887â “1914) quickly ascended to notoriety, only to be killed at the tender age of 27 at the start of World War I. Despite his brief career, the artist left a remarkable oeuvre in his wake, his obsessions with color reflecting aspects of Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Expressionism. Through his engagement with these diverse schools of art, Macke assimilated disparate influences and approaches into a style entirely his own. Grouped with the Blaue Reiter movement, but eschewing the mysticism that often pervaded the works of its artists, Macke returned time and again to color-led interpretations of beauty, whether the kaleidoscopic watercolor Bright Women in front of the Hat Shop (1913), or the shimmering hues of Lady in a Green Jacket (1913). These colors reached their zenith in 1914 when Macke traveled with Klee and Moilliet to Tunis and became acquainted with North African light. With leading examples from his vivid painterly world, this book introduces us to Mackeâ ™s short but influential career as a pioneering Expressionist. From cheerful scenes of parks, zoos, and promenades to his final major work, ominously titled Farewell (1914), we explore a remarkable talent for visual impact and an intense pursuit of the emotional possibilities of color.

CAT JARMAN An engaged, informed companion for the armchair time traveller...captures the thrill and the difficulties of interpreting the past . TLS Duncan has written a masterpiece - a journey and an investigation that fuses landscape and history, chasing the echoes of Boudica s rebellion and finding its physical traces that still surround us today. NICHOLAS CRANE A brilliant imagining of the past. Mackay s knowledge is profound, but lightly worn, his writing elegant and witty, and his enthusiasm infectious. A joy to read. Dr Harry Sidebottom, University of Oxford, author or THE MAD EMPEROR Mackay s journey into the past is hugely enjoyable. BBC History Magazine The places that Mackay visits, traverses and dwells in are vividly described as a conscious attempt to revive the past... there are real moments of joy and insight. History TodayAlmost 2000 years ago, Boudica led the greatest rebellion Britain has ever seen. Within the space of a single blood-soaked year, she united the tribes to deliver blow after devastating blow to the Roman regime, culminating in a brutal, decisive battle.Archaeologist Duncan Mackay has spent a lifetime on the trail of Boudica. Beginning near his home in Norfolk, in the heart of Boudica s tribal territory, he embarks on a journey in the footsteps of Romans and Britons, exploring their villages, towns, forts and roads. The passage of two millennia has buried the world that Boudica knew, but Duncan finds that its echoes and physical traces still surround us - as long as you know where to look. The armies marched along the roads we still use, and died in their thousands in towns, cities and countryside where we still live today. The site of Boudica s last battle was long believed be lost to time, but the threads of the story all pull towards one remarkable, forgotten little corner of the English landscape.From the Breckland of Norfolk to the back streets of Colchester, from the remotest corner of Anglesey to the depths of the London Underground, Duncan takes us back two thousand years to retell the story of Britain s bloodiest year. Fusing ancient history, modern excavation, landscape exploration, and vivid reconstruction, Echolands weaves the long-lost tapestry of Boudica s war.

Twenty-five years since acid house and Ecstasy revolutionized pop culture, Simon Reynolds s landmark rave history Energy Flash has been expanded and updated to cover twenty-first-century developments like dubstep and EDM s recent takeover of America.Author of the acclaimed postpunk history Rip It Up and Start Again, Reynolds became a rave convert in the early nineties. He experienced first-hand the scene s drug-fuelled rollercoaster of euphoria and darkness. He danced at Castlemorton, the illegal 1992 mega-rave that sent spasms of anxiety through the Establishment and resulted in the Criminal Justice and Public Order Bill. Mixing personal reminiscence with interviews and ultra-vivid description of the underground s ever-changing sounds as they mutated under the influence of MDMA and other drugs, Energy Flash is the definitive chronicle of electronic dance culture.From rave s origins in Chicago house and Detroit techno, through Ibiza, Madchester and the anarchic free-party scene, to the pirate-radio underworld of jungle and UK garage, and then onto 2000s-shaping genres such as grime and electro, Reynolds documents with authority, insight and infectious enthusiasm the tracks, DJs, producers and promoters that soundtracked a generation. A substantial final section, added for this new Faber edition, brings the book right up to date, covering dubstep s explosive rise to mass popularity and America s recent but ardent embrace of rave. Packed with interviews with participants and charismatic innovators like Derrick May, Goldie and Aphex Twin, Energy Flash is an infinitely entertaining and essential history of dance music.

Zadumaně krásné Orkneje u břehů Skotska představují ostrovy plovoucí k severu a jejich zneuctěný aristokrat ducha Magnus Erlendson se na nich konečně dočkal statutu svatého mučedníka a patrona.

Mack, volací znak Razor 03, vedl tým vrtulníků MH-47D Chinook a ozbrojených MH-60 Black Hawk. Součástí jejich dvojité mise bylo vyprošťování osob a nekonvenční válčení a patřilo k ní také létání v terénu a v počasí, které se dosud považovalo za nemožné. Aby toho nebylo dost, posunuli letové výkony svých speciálně upravených Chinooků na samé hranice a dokonce za ně. Mack popisuje svůj pohled do zákulisí výsadku skupiny Horse Soldiers do Afghánistánu. Probírá hon na Usámu bin Ládina v Tóra Bóra a líčí svůj sestřel během operace Anakonda. Po letech pronásledoval Bowea Bergdahla, zachraňoval rukojmí v Iráku a jediného přeživšího příslušníka SEAL z údolí Kunar v operaci Redwing. Mackovy zážitky na pokraji smrti a častá nasazení ovlivnily nejen jej, ale přiměly jeho manželku k užívání opiátů. Její rozvíjející se závislost vedla k neshodám, protože ji tajil a pokračoval v nasazení. Řídil se heslem své jednotky Noční lovci se nevzdávají! Nevzdal by se své jednotky - a nevzdal by se své rodiny. Jeho příběh o úspěchu, tragédii a konečném štěstí je tak starý, jako válčení samo.

Simon Reynolds s first book in eight years is a celebration of music that feels like a taste of tomorrow. Sounds that prefigure pop music s future - the vanguard genres and heroic innovators whose discoveries eventually get accepted by the wider mass audience. But it s also about the way music can stir anticipation for a thrillingly transformed world just around the corner: a future that might be utopian or dystopian, but at least will be radically changed and exhilaratingly other. Starting with an extraordinary chapter on Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer, taking in illuminating profiles of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Boards of Canada, Burial, and Daft Punk, and arguing for Auto-Tune as the defining sound of 21st century pop, Futuromania shapes over two-dozen essays and interviews into a chronological narrative of machine-music from the 1970s to now. Reynolds explores the interface between pop music and science fiction s utopian dreams and nightmare visions, always emphasising the quirky human individuals abusing the technology as much as the era-defining advances in electronic hardware and digital software. A tapestry of the scenes and subcultures that have proliferated in that febrile, sexy and contested space where man meets machine, Futuromania is an enthused listening guide that will propel readers towards adventures in sound. There is a lifetime of electronic listening here.

A stunning visual autobiography of two crazy-talented besties, bestselling and award-winning author Jason Reynolds and painter Jason Griffin, who could never be who they are singularly if they weren’t who they were together.Once upon a time in America, there were two Jasons. Jason Reynolds and Jason Griffin. One a poet. One an artist. One Black. One white. Two voices. One journey in mind: to move to New York, the city of dreams, to make their own dreams come true. Willing to have a life not un-hard, so long as it wasn’t unhappy. Willing to let the city swallow them whole, so long as it gives them their chance. They had each other. “What if painting was a sin, and the poetry became taboo. And no one ever clapped for me again. My question is, would you?” They clapped. Oh, they clapped. And aren’t we glad?
