Book excerpt: The war that could destroy Osteria has begun. And it’s not just the mortals whose lives are at risk. The Battle of Ares sees Osteria at its most vulnerable. It’s a time of life-shattering power struggles, shifting alliances, and characters going against their nature to protect their realm and those they love. Tricked into starting a war with Demos by his power-hungry brother, Menelaus leads the Osterian forces to exact vengeance on the man he believes has wronged him. With its capital in the hands of invaders, the polis of Demos now faces enemies on two fronts: the vicious warriors of Aryana and the Osterians who should be Demos’s allies. Although the Osterians start off strong, clashing personalities within the Osterian camp soon crush any hope for a short battle and trust in their leaders erodes to nothing. Meanwhile, the gods on Olympus refuse to heed dire warnings that the titans are inching ever closer to obliterating them. And the moment the gods cease to exist, the mortals of Osteria will soon follow. For mortal and immortal lives to survive this threat, the gods must set aside their arrogance, their stubbornness, and their differences. A challenge they have never successfully met before. If you crave the mythological adventure of Clash of the Titans and enjoy the blend of history and fantasy in books by S.J.A Turney, Bernard Cornwell, and Madeline Miller, you’ll love this powerful tale of vengeance, honor, and loyalty. The Battle of Ares is the fifth installment of the Osteria Chronicles, the series that brings myths to life as you’ve never seen them before.

Book Synopsis Sirius by : John Dunn

Download or read book Sirius written by John Dunn. This book was released on 2017. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Sirius, one of Australia and Sydney's best known brutalist buildings and social housing successes. Through numerous battles and green bans, confrontation, arrests in the 1970s, The Rocks Green Ban was lifted for Sirius to be built for local residents who were displaced by The Rocks redevelopment. It has been a rare example of successful public housing since it opened in 1980. By 2015, the NSW Liberal government wants the building and its residents gone. Protection of the building was rejected by its own NSW Heritage Council recommendation to list Sirius on the State Register. This book celebrates Sirius the place, and its history and people. It is one of the few architectural social history books tracking the fight to save the building throughout 2016-2017 and discusses the many long time residents, advocates and the original design by Tao Gofers.
