'Now, Miss Kraken, that was very impudent of you in there. Or was it? Did you enjoy your punishment? Was that what possessed you to be so disobedient?' the 'doctor' accused, turning around and lacing his fingers, making sure the gloves were fully on. His voice was muffled slightly, but against the absolute silence she could hear all. The sound of three respirators operating slowly was the only answer, each of their breaths dragging through the layers of protection, purified by their passage. 'Just a few routine checks and we'll move onto something more interesting, Miss Kraken, ' he stated with mirth, mocking her plight as one of the women stroked her hair, seeking to calm her. 'Now if you'll just relax...' Mina, an agent of industrial espionage, is hired to investigate the secretive hidden project of a powerful industrialist. Following the trail to Project Charybdis, she finds an underwater world where female slaves serve the lusts of others, unable to escape as they are transformed into latex-bound mermaids, pets, and objects of carnal excess. Some are paid to be present, others are captives who have been abducted and forcibly trained to serve. Having blundered into the project, Mina joins the rubber-encased ranks of the deep-sea harem. There she finds new pleasure in her strict captivity as she surrenders herself to those she had been sent to expose, and who now subject her to endless and ingenious acts of depravity.

'Bend over please, ' he said, flexing his fingers in their smooth cocoons. Kaitlyn draped her torso onto the tabletop, the cold surface sending a chill through her belly and breasts, making her skin rise with fields of goosebumps and quiver in nervous fits. The officer took hold of her limp arms and started to steer them behind her back. She gave a tug of resistance, letting him defeat her attempt with his superior strength and allow herself to realise that she was truly helpless to his purpose. The officer applied another hoop and closed it with a chastising yank, trapping her wrists, the bond a dedication of his purpose. 'No talking please, ' he said brusquely, and snapped a fresh set of latex gloves onto his hands... An innocent tourist visiting San Francisco, Kaitlyn discovers a secret world of slavery and domination hiding behind the city. Seduced into their ranks, she becomes property of a mysterious sect known only as Cabal. Here, the noble members scheme and trade the slaves they accumulate, and any fantasy or whim is instantly recreated. Exploring her submissive nature, Kaitlyn draws the admiration and envy of the slaves, masters and mistresses who come her way, making her a treasured possession whom others fight to acquire and use.

'Varik will never be beaten by you, ' she declared, retracting her face as far from his imperiously outthrust crotch as possible, given her kneeling position. 'You are not his equal, and that is why you hate him so much.' Senelek's eyes glowed a little more hotly. 'Perhaps I am his equal, ' he crooned suggestively, his hands thick in her hair. 'In at least one area...' Queen Caralissa has hair of red and nerves of steel, but when a powerful enemy captures her, she soon learns what it is to submit. The barbarian warlord Varik makes Caralissa his slave, and to her horror she finds herself yielding to his training, becoming his obedient pet. Ransomed by her people, Caralissa thinks the worst is over, but she soon learns that her sister Romila, and Romila's lover, Telos, have conspired against her. A mockery of a trial takes place, resulting in Caralissa becoming a slave in her own castle, but intrigues continue and soon Romila finds herself chained beside her sister by the treacherous Telos. As the new king, Telos decides to sell both girls to a brothel after making thorough use of their captive bodies. Meanwhile Varik is trying to track down his former slave. Will Caralissa be rescued from her fate as a pleasure slave, and if so, will she ever be anything but a submissive female who craves the lash?

Marcellus beheld the nude, golden-haired beauty on his bed. She was the very picture of male fantasy. The bonds that held her, silken cords from the boudoirs of the Talassian imperial court, only heightened the arousal factor. A lesser man would have taken his fill by now, claiming her maidenhood as his own. Marcellus, however, had a greater purpose. Or perhaps it was a lower one, more ignoble even than the potential ravishing of a captive nymph... The lovely nymph Tesra has spent her entire life on the Isle of Dreams, where no man has ever set foot. As a seer, Tesra is given to visions more valuable than gold, but when the daring pirate captain Marcellus steals her from her bath one morning, she learns quickly that she herself is just one more possession in the eyes of men. After laying his strap upon her shapely buttocks to teach the blonde beauty her place, Marcellus takes her to his ship. Thrown into the hold with a bevy of jealous slave girls and faced with the cruel lusts of her kidnapper and his crew, Tesra soon finds herself forced to submit to the very depths of her being. Though unbeknown to both of them a powerful emperor is watching and biding his time. He wants the seer for his own and he will stop at nothing to obtain her. Can Tesra ever hope to win back her freedom against such odds? Or will she remain forever the Dream Captive?

Again the Titan dragged himself free, moving back and flipping her over onto her front. Mina offered some faint struggles of resistance as he took firm hold of wrists once more, and left herself vulnerable to the relish of having him use his strength to defeat the token offering of rebellion... Having been condemned to the ocean depths as a rubber cocooned Nymph, Mina is finally rescued from her lot and returned to her owners. Taken to a remote island hideaway, Mina is trained as a pony girl and becomes part of the decadent pleasures of the tropical island haven. Subject to their every whim, her submissive hunger grows ever deeper from her experiences until during a spectacular display at their host's party she is offered a succulent fate she dare not refuse.

Allura accepted the handle pressed to her lips, and without being told she parted them and he pushed it deep, her jaw aching as her mouth filled with pungent leather. Frightening herself with her obedience she sucked, wanting the feel of it all the way to the back of her throat, the smell and taste of leather filling her nostrils and her mouth, mingling sickeningly with the dungeon keeper's odor and the stench of the foreboding dungeon, and the constant pull of the cuffs on her wrists, pulling her body so vulnerably taut as she hung there. Princess Allura is spoiled and beautiful. Her guardian, the Grand Duke Fortragian, is powerless to stop her from abusing her hapless slaves and clueless suitors, and only the handsome Baron Montreico is strong enough to tame her. Tricking Allura into a compromising kiss, he then invokes an ancient law requiring that the princess marry him. Still Allura thinks she will easily outwit the man, but Montreico turns the tables, placing her under a regimen of cruel and humiliating discipline. Denying her sexual satisfaction he treats her like an animal, making her beg for her most basic needs under pain of severe corporal punishment. His plan is to break her completely, converting her into a cringing sex slave while he seizes the crown for himself. In the way, however, stand a sadistic priestess and a lust-filled god, both of whom have staked their own claims on the submissive princess.

Ascension Parish is a sweet spot along the Mississippi River, nestled between, and just far enough away from, New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The Parish is replete with any number of characters, many of whom, like the author, are products of the town of Donaldsonville, located on the west side of the river. Locals take pride in the fact that the Louisiana State Capitol was located in Donaldsonville from 1830 to 1831, primarily, the author believes, so that the State Legislators could hide from their wives. It was soon moved back to New Orleans where the entertainment consisted of more than watching the locals catch catfish in Bayou Lafourche.Growing up in Donaldsonville was idyllic, at least in hindsight. It was a bustling town in an otherwise very rural parish. But times change, and the population of Ascension Parish, which includes the author, is now largely on the east bank of the Mississippi, with easy access to I-10, which, due to traffic congestion, doesn't provide easy access to anywhere. This book is based upon the author's experiences in Ascension Parish, both real and imaginary, and friendships and acquaintances, also both real and imaginary, having spent most of his best years in Ascension. In 2011 he formed a group known as the MOSS (Men Of Sixty Something), and touted it as the premier think-tank of Ascension Parish, solving problems both large and small. This book chronicles the (largely imaginary) undertakings of the MOSS.

The lives of two American families would inevitably change on December 7, 1941, when Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Empire of Japan. When President Roosevelt asked all young people to sign up in defense of their country, three brothers from the Perkins family and four from the Bouricius family joined the American armed forces. Perk was the pilot of a four engine, B-17 bomber, flying missions in Europe when the average life expectancy of a bomber crew was eleven missions. Nothing in the lives of thousands of young Americans could prepare them for the violence that was to come. This book brings to life the experiences of the two families during the seven years of World War II. Above and Beyond is a compelling story that tells of the triumphs and tragedies of both families, and how they worked and fought to defeat the enemy, who sought world domination.

Sandy always stood out. From a young age, she was labeled as "too loud," "selfish," and "unladylike." She couldn't help but feel invisible, like a vibrant painting hidden behind a dull curtain.As she grew into a woman, the pressure to conform only intensified, but it was the 1980s and the music, the makeup, power suits, and sexual hookups were fun. Sandy survived work with precious few hours of sleep but as the fun became routine, she went back to feeling small and invisible. She had no idea what was holding her back.In her memoir, From Invisible to Technicolor, Sandy takes us along as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, sexual awakening, and empowerment. She learns that it's not selfish to prioritize her own happiness and dreams. Through trials and tribulations, she sheds the layers of societal and familial expectations, embracing her true self with all its colors and complexities.In a world that tried to make her invisible, Sandy becomes a beacon of individuality and strength. This is a story of resilience, self-acceptance, and the audacious pursuit of a life lived authentically, unafraid to be technicolor in a world that expects women to be quiet and invisible.

Talitha is growing up in a town called Capernaum in Galilee. She has heard about a miracle worker named Jesus and hopes more than anything to see him and watch him do a miracle. Little does she know what awaits her.

Esta obra está conformada en dos tomos. El primero, el presente texto, aborda los aspectos, generalidades e historia del delito y del Derecho Penal en México, así como los antecedentes de los delitos más graves y comunes que han afectado a la sociedad durante décadas, tales como el robo, la trata, la prostitución, la delincuencia organizada, secuestro, homicidio y terrorismo. También se ocupa del estudio del delincuente y de la víctima, análisis de la víctima, victimología y los aspectos que la rodean, incluso desde la perspectiva de los Derechos Humanos, Política Criminal y la Victimología. Reseña literariaPocos libros de justicia se animan a estudiar tanto al delincuente como a la víctima con un lenguaje neutro y específico. Si bien este primer tomo de LOS ASPECTOS DEL DELITO EN LA SOCIEDAD ACTUAL es amable y explicativo con el lector no especializado, es también valiente y trata tanto términos como fenómenos complejos. Enrique Galán, abogado y escritor, hace, desde el aspecto histórico hasta el social, desde la perspectiva del transgresor hasta la de la víctima, un recorrido por el sistema de justica mexicano. Este libro es una valiosa contribución para profesionales del derecho, pero también para aquellos interesados en comprender el sistema actual. - Amado Contreras, Crítico Literario
