    "If you like a slow burn romance, awesome action scenes, and well developed characters, I highly recommend this series." - Caitlin, GoodreadsFrom USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin comes the third book in the Aunare Chronicles “Declan’s been captured.” Ahiga’s strained voice carried through the recording and Amihanna knew without seeing him that he must be hurt. “SpaceTech is shooting us dead in the street and we can’t run or hide fast enough. I’m not sure how long we can stay in Haden’s hideout. We need your help. I know it’s a lot to ask, but please. I’m begging. We’re all going to die without you.” Ahiga’s message was everything Amihanna feared would come true. “Wait!” Amihanna screams. Her mind is racing, and she needs to make a decision. Keep going. Meet Lorne on the neutral planet to broker an alliance as planned. Or change course. Jump across the universe as quickly as she can, and pray it’s fast enough to save her Earther family. Amihanna knows what it’s like to be fighting for her life, hoping that someone would come. Everyone abandoned her except for the Crew, Declan, and Ahiga. Sometimes debts can’t be repaid, but Amihanna is a di Aetes. She won’t give up. Not ever.“I’m sorry.” Lorne felt Amihanna’s fear pressing against his heart from lightyears away as he listened to her message. “I have to go back. I’m leaving Roan behind in case you want to find me. I’ll come home when I can. Try not to freak out too much. I can do this. I’ll be fine.”No, no, NO! Lorne’s skin glowed so bright it blinded the control room. He moved before he could think, taking the pilot’s seat, and steering them in the opposite direction.He’d been forced to stay away before, but Lorne was King now. Nothing would keep him from saving Amihanna this time.“Suspenseful sci-fi with complex world-building and a tough-as-nails heroine you’ll want to root for!”— Elizabeth Briggs, NYT Bestselling Author of Future Shock"This has definitely sucked me in and I really am now invested in what's to come..." - Becky Bookworm “In this bleak world, one spark of hope soon turns into an inferno. And just like a fireball, once this story is ignited, it just doesn’t stop.” — Maria V. Snyder, NYT bestselling author of Navigating the Stars.“Erin’s world-building is excellent and her characters are big and bold…” — Escape Into Worlds

  • One Mission

    Chris Fussell, Charles Goodyear, Chris Fussell - introduction, General Stanley McChrystal, Macmillan Digital Audio

    Audible Audiobook (Macmillan Digital Audio, Aug. 9, 2018)
    In One Mission, former Navy SEAL Chris Fussell draws on his extensive experience of high-pressure teamwork to show how organisations can apply lessons from the field to successfully transform their way of doing business - becoming flatter, quicker and much more collaborative across departments and divisions. Along with sharing his own military experience, Fussell explores industry titans like Intuit and Under Armour, which have adopted the 'Team of Teams' model in order to unite everyone around single compelling mission. The result is a 'shared consciousness' that drives consistently better results with less friction and intergroup rivalry. Using case studies and providing practical solutions, One Mission shows how to harness the agility, adaptability and cohesion of small teams and break down company silos to deliver extraordinary results across any size of organisation. One Mission is for any leader who wants to inspire their teams to look beyond their narrow field of vision to understand - and effectively contribute to - the organisation's one true mission. The steps of transition include: Achieving strategic alignment: every organisation thinks it has sufficiently communicated its priorities down the chain of command, but rarely is this alignment sufficient. Determining operating rhythm: annual or six-monthly town hall alignment gathers are no longer regular enough to communicate messages urgently and risk putting entire companies out of date. Setting up communication and decision-making processes: not every person in an organisation is qualified for the decision-making freedom ideal in a flexible team. Fussell shows how a hybrid structure can empower and inspire every person on the team while still restricting the decision-making process appropriately. Shifting leadership behaviour: radical humility, beginning with the leader and continuing down the chain of command, is the key to a successful transition. Including examples of transition in companies ranging from Intuit to the US Army to small businesses, One Mission is a practical audiobook for anyone looking to evolve their workforce into a highly mobile and effective unit that can unlock the potential of the individual talents that make up their teams in a way many would have thought impossible.
