However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background. For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book.
We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. Original electronic format These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable.
Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality. This title was added to our catalog on January 05, Publisher Average Rating.

No normal human could know how the Romania situation is going to play out.
But Cassandra—the AI's predictions are nearly always right. Would that I could chalk this projection to a glitch in her predictive subroutines. Not even my power and influence on the global stage can stop mankind's most horrific weapon. Whatever the cost, I cannot allow this to happen. I will not let Bucharest become the next Hiroshima. Gilad tells me his meeting with his old friend Aric of Dacia, wielder of the X-O Manowar armor, did not go well.
He had hoped to convince Aric to take his alien ship and leave Romania peaceably, but Aric does not understand "peace. Aric broke Gilad's arm in the confrontation; he will heal in due time, but that is not fast enough. A warrior with only one good arm is only half as good to me.
Ninjak is still under MI6's thumb, but he won't turn down a lucrative contract. He has worked for me in the past; he will work for me again. His one-of-a-kind skills are necessary if we are to neutralize the threat before it goes critical. But his go-it-alone strategy may prove problematic when integrating him into this team… And Livewire—my dear Amanda—I believe she has learned her lesson by now. She may not be wholly loyal to me anymore, but if I can convince her what is at stake, she will use her abilities to help me.
Her rapport with machines may very well be the key to counteracting the Manowar armor. Where an army will falter, we four can put an end to this nonsense in Romania. But if we fail…the world may never forgive us. Bills Development Philip A. All characters, their distinctive likenesses and related indicia featured in this publication are trademarks of Valiant Entertainment, Inc. Printed in the USA. Others claim the vessel itself is a classified weapons program being developed by the Russian military.
Investigations have yet to determine the origin of the vessel itself. Further reports indicate that the armored, blue-and-gold individual involved in the recent at the Colosseum in Rome has been spotted near the craft. Rather than deny or confirm responsibility for the craft, the Russian leadership responded with a declaration of military force.
In a public address given at GMT, Russian Premier Sergeyevich declared the vessel and the armored individual a threat to national security and vowed to mobilize against the vessel. Incoming alert from Cassandra:.
Harada-sama, the latest footage of the Bucharest incident confirms that the armored individual—codename X-O Manowar, AKA Aric of Dacia—is indeed involved with the craft. He appears to be protecting the ship and the people that emerged from it. The ship itself matches no known configuration or design. Conclusion: Vessel is of extraterrestrial origin. Conjecture [ Taking previous observation of the Manowar into account, predictive extrapolation indicates he will defend the ship to his last breath, destroying any and all who stand in his way with his array of offensive and defensive powers.
With the Russians threatening to send in military force, I predict a nuclear solution will be pursued. Conclusion: Neutralizing the Manowar situation will forestall a nuclear solution.
THE SETTING have any personal guards watching over his suite, but a number of Visigoth warriors have taken up In the night, the parked alien ship looms residence on the lower floors and will attack the overhead—a dark shadow, quiet and unyielding.
Beyond the vessel lies a grassy field that looks Scene 3: When the team reaches Aric, assuming recently plowed, and campfires dot the field. Past they have managed to keep a low profile to this the field sits an eight-story Romanian hotel building. Aric fights alone, as the team will have Scene 1: Initial surveillance places X-O already dispatched or avoided all nearby Visigoths. Manowar in the penthouse suite of the hotel. To Once Aric has been incapacitated, the reach him the team will first need to infiltrate the surroundings dissolve away, and the team finds itself perimeter of the field where the alien ship landed.
The team must try to sneak past the Visigoths. I suggest you Shanhara. According to statements from the Russian government, a battalion of the Fourth Guards Tank Brigade crossed the Romanian border this morning intent on approaching the mysterious vessel that landed in Bucharest.
The Russian military reported losing contact with the battalion when it reached the Berceni district. No explanations for the loss were made public. The Romanian government is denying any and all involvement in the incident and have threatened retaliation if the Russians do not withdraw from their border.
The United Nations has called an emergency Security Council session to attempt resolving this dispute before it escalates into open conflict. Her blurry photos show tanks encountering a blue-and-gold blur that many believe is the unidentified perpetrator of the Colosseum incident in Rome.
Rousseaux claims this individual destroyed the Russian tanks with never-before-seen weapons, but the subpar quality of the photographs only leads to further speculation. Incoming Alert from Cassandra: Harada-sama, the situation has escalated as previously predicted. Unfortunately, the Manowar is more of a variable than anticipated.
Predictive extrapolation indicates that the Russians will resort to firing a tactical nuclear warhead unless you directly intervene. The Unity advance team you sent to confront the Manowar—codenames the Captain, Mirror, Bomb, and Ether—is currently underway, but I predict their current success rate at less than three percent..
Primary and secondary mission failures. Updating my predictive matrices … Conjecture [ Team hotel lies in the distance. The area looks hauntingly members may attempt another try at a failed Test familiar to the recent thoughtscape training, but on his or her next Narration.

Visigoths and Wolf-class Armor that will attempt to Once the whole team is aboard the ship and enter the bridge. The team will Once Aric has been defeated or the virus is need to reach the bridge in order to take control successfully planted, the ship begins losing altitude of the vessel.
Acceleration forces make it difficult and plummets from space like a meteor. NASA officials believe the vessel did not survive reentry and broke apart before crashing in the sea, and for now we are doing nothing to actively discourage this belief.
Investigative efforts from the US, Russian, and Chinese navies are currently underway, but we are certain that the vessel will have already sank before any of these fleets can arrive on the scene.
Fortunately, the pressure at those depths due to the pressure unable to get any agents in place to steer them away from few hold any hope of finding the wreckage and putting this mystery to rest. Surveillance is no longer seeing signs of the X-O Manowar at the site, but his primitive associates are still on the scene. Infrared scans of the area indicate the presence of unknown individuals nearing and entering the ship.
Please advise on our next course of action. I am also seeing that she has gained control over the Armor of Shanhara itself. This is an unexpected development. Updating my predictive matrices… The Armor of Shanhara is an article of extraterrestrial technology. In the meantime, I am calculating that the ship is currently falling from orbit and will impact the Pacific Ocean in approximately five, four, three … … two … … one …. There are Scene 1: With Aric defeated and taken a number of creative ways in which the nuke can be captive, the X-O Manowar suit transfers itself to disabled, rerouted or destroyed.
