Àííîòàöèÿ: More than a century ago after her death, Queen Victoria retains a strong grip on biographers—, academics—, and the public—s imagination. The intention of the authors in this biography is to ensure that Victoria herself was never swamped by the events in which she played a part, and to present an account of her developing personality alongside the developing role of constitutional monarchy under her reign. Victoria left huge quantities of written records, many of which have been published. It seemed important to let Victoria—s own voice be heard in the biography, and the text draws extensively from her own writings

A private military operative of reeducated gang members — the Blackshield Angels — are the only hope of liberating a vital fuel supply from a criminal overlord. The Blackshield—s best agent struggles through betrayal, love, and a seemingly unending war zone — Zone 12 — to complete his mission through a dangerous world where tattooed warlords reign supreme and giant satellites watch men from above like gods.
