Sequel to Infected: Lesser Evils Infected: Book Seven In a world where a werecat virus has changed society, Roan McKichan, a born infected and ex-cop, works as a private detective trying to solve crimes involving other infecteds. Now Roan is locked in a coma as the struggle between his human and werecat sides reaches a new extreme. All Dylan can do is sit, wait, and think. Meanwhile, Roan's assistant, Holden, wants to shed his old street life and his relationship with Scott, but he can't seem to do either. Holden doesn't want a relationship with Scott but finds himself drawn to him all the same, even if he can never fully reveal his past. With Roan out of commission, Holden looks into the murder of an old friend. At the same time, Fiona takes on a case about underground death matches between infecteds--one with connections to the Church of the Divine Transformation. Finally Roan wakes only to discover that his shifts have new consequences. His lion's strength is growing, and he can't hide from it any longer.... |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
In a landmark work, a leading scholar of the eighteenth century examines the ways in which an understanding of the nature of history influenced the thinking of the founding fathers.As Jack P. Greene has observed, " The Whig] conception saw the past as a continual struggle between liberty and virtue on one hand and arbitrary power and corruption on the other." Many founders found in this intellectual tradition what Josiah Quincy, Jr., called the "true old English liberty," and it was this Whig tradition--this conception of liberty--that the champions of American independence and crafters of the new republic sought to perpetuate. Colbourn supports his thesis--that "Independence was in large measure the product of the historical concepts of the men who made it"--by documenting what books were read most widely by the founding generation. He also cites diaries, personal correspondence, newspapers, and legislative records.Trevor Colbourn is President Emeritus of the University of Central Florida. |
