  • Sample Chapter
    Prologue Harry Rellant pulled off an armored glove to stroke his son’s soft cheek one last time. The baby slept in his foam cradle, sedated and blissfully unaware. How many of his men would die for this child without realizing it? Ought to be me. Harry dismissed the attempt at self-pity. A little late for that now. “Get you fixed up soon, Scotty,” he promised, his words rasping through his black breathing mask. Bio-weapons from the previous job hadn’t just ravaged his respiratory system, they’d poisoned the DNA he’d passed on to his son. Scotty’s lungs weren’t mature enough to handle the nanobots. Medics said only a miracle would save him. Harry gently closed the ammo case lid. A quick check of the other gear in the assault ship’s tiny equipment bay ensured that nothing would rattle itself free during the harsh descent. One miracle coming up, son. Turbulence threatened to jerk the deck from beneath his feet. At thirty-five, he was getting too old for this kind of work. Gripping the shelf on which the case rested, he afforded himself a few more precious moments lingering over the disguised life pod. The Valkyrie’s pilot was too busy and the strike team too airsick to bother him. What had Boss Mackenzie said about Scotty? Oh, yeah. Tough luck. This from the man whose ass he’d saved. Well, what did he expect? Compassion wasn’t part of a mercenary’s kit. Harry wiped a momentary blur from his gray eyes before affixing his glove.

  • Solo Singing Etiquette for Women in Ancient and Modern Egypt
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2021 – Pages 41-70 Solo Singing Etiquette for Women in Ancient and Modern Egypt By Enas Fares Yehia & Walaa Mohamed Abdelhakim† Throughout the ages, people have shown great interest in music and singing of all kinds, giving these expressive forms great importance in different eras. This article aims to comprehensively overview the etiquette, customs, and characteristic rules of polite performance in the profession of female solo singing in ancient and modern Egypt from a comparative view. This is achieved by reviewing the distinctive themes of female solo singers and their contexts in both ancient and modern Egypt. The article employs a descriptive-comparative methodology to provide a detailed sequential investigation and analysis of all the data collected on the subject and the themes of female solo singers; to discern the characteristic features of female solo singing etiquette in ancient Egypt; and to identify the similarities and differences of these features in the masters and famous models of modern Egypt. One of the main findings is that the distinctive characteristics of female solo singing in ancient Egypt have been inherited in the style of oriental but not western singing, and the greatest and most widely known model of the former style is “the Oriental singing lady Umm Kulthum”. Introduction Music has played a role in various social fields from ancient to modern Egypt. In ancient Egypt, singing was practiced in both public and private places: in temples, in palaces, during religious processions and burials as part of the funerary cult, and during private festivals and military parades.
