-The captain of a starship and a prince are forced to revise their ideas of family and loyalty with the fate of their worlds hanging in the balance---

Shadow Run

The rip-roaring space adventure sequel to the book that NYT bestselling author Lindsey Cummings heralded as "an explosive debut" has arrived! Full of action and romance, as if Star Wars was done in the vein of Joss Whedon's Firefly. His throne. Her rebellion. Their war. Qole is the youngest starship captain in living memory on her homeworld of Alaxak and has spent her life hunting a dangerous energy source called Shadow. Alaxans distrust and evade the galaxy's royalty as a rule, but Qole is now harboring the exiled Prince Nevarian Dracorte, along with some very conflicting feelings about it--and him. Nev's feelings are just as complicated, but not towards her. When it comes to Qole, he knows one thing: he'd do anything to stay with her. But when Alaxak is attacked and Nev finds himself framed for murder, he realizes the only way to help Qole and her people is to fight for the throne that should be his. To become the royal she might hate. As for Qole, she would never have imagined herself as the leader of a rebellion. Despite that, she soon realizes that hiding from her power is no longer an option. It's time to answer the call, even if it kills her. "The action is once again breathtaking, heart pounding, and intense...If you loved Shadow Run, you'll devour Shadow Call. The perfect blend of action, intrigue, and a dash of slow-burn romance. I loved every minute!" --Jen Brown Writes "Just as fast-paced and enjoyable as Shadow Run...If you like science fiction, you really have to check out this series." --Here's to Happy Endings

With the new version of AdSense, Google has changed virtually everything about the interface and added some new features. The navigation structure has been completely overhauled, as have the available types of ads. Google has reorganized the former AdSense Channels into five basic types of ads: Content, Domains, Feeds, Mobile Content, and Search. In addition, Google has tied in-game and YouTube advertising into AdSense, to make it easier to place ads in online games and YouTube videos. Google also has made it easier and more prominent to enable ad blocking -- that is, to keep certain types of ads or ads from certain advertisers from appearing on your website. Google has also beefed up its AdSense reporting system, increasing the types of reports available and adding a new Overview page that displays key information in a single snapshot. While the new interface is a step forward for managing an AdSense account, existing AdSense users may find it strange and confusing-and have trouble finding out how to do what they're used to doing. That's where this Quick Guide comes in. Get up to speed quickly and easily. Then get back to making money.
