vincible: a. capable of being overcome or subdued; conquered.] Episode Three: Sydney Every story contains faces on the fringes. Those on the outside looking in. Observers who seem to have no power or influence. They're just along for the ride. Or are they? They're people like Sydney. A castaway loner at 14, a girl nobody ever wanted, Sydney keeps a go bag, her runaway kit, under her bed. She spends her life in support of others because she's too scared that if she takes any kind of responsibility, she'll screw things up. After all, that's how her birth father raised her. Sydney’s sisters Greye and Nika are both missing. The police are asking questions, and her answers aren't satisfactory. Sydney can sense time is running short, that she's stuck between the cops, Miss Ivy--her terrible foster mom, and this nameless evil that seems to be picking off her sisters one by one. In the end, Sydney is going to have to make a choice she never wanted to make. If she runs, will she get anywhere, or will she only be making things worse? Most important, will the sale of her soul be worth whatever pittance she gets in return? Will the fulfillment of a dream look more like a nightmare? Sydney's world might just collide into another she never imagined could be true.

[vincible: a. capable of being overcome or subdued; conquered.] Episode Four: Anna Every story contains faces on the fringes. Those on the outside looking in. Observers who seem to have no power or influence. They're just along for the ride. Or are they? They're people like Anna. She lost the gift of her sight at age ten, when her life took a turn for the worse, in the direction of her wicked foster mom, Miss Ivy. That was four years ago. Still, it was all pretty much bearable because of her sisters, Greye, Nika, and Sydney. But now all three of them are gone. So what about Anna? She knows Greye would dig into the headlines and make the necessary deductions. Nika would take the lead and get them moving in a direction by hook or by crook. And Sydney would add that all-important fifth element by encouraging and supporting every one of them. But what can Anna do? She's just a girl, at the mercy of her antagonists because of her blindness. It is a crippling liability. Or is it? Anna's world is about to change forever. When there are no heroes left, those to whom the sword falls become the most unlikely candidates in the war for all that is good. Will Anna be more than what she's ever known? Will she be... invincible?

As seen in military documents, medical journals, novels, films, television shows, and memoirs, soldiers’ invisible wounds are not innate cracks in individual psyches that break under the stress of war. Instead, the generation of weary warriors is caught up in wider social and political networks and institutions—families, activist groups, government bureaucracies, welfare state programs—mediated through a military hierarchy, psychiatry rooted in mind-body sciences, and various cultural constructs of masculinity. This book offers a history of military psychiatry from the American Civil War to the latest Afghanistan conflict. The authors trace the effects of power and knowledge in relation to the emotional and psychological trauma that shapes soldiers’ bodies, minds, and souls, developing an extensive account of the emergence, diagnosis, and treatment of soldiers’ invisible wounds.

In this vivid and timely history, Juan Cole tells the story of Napoleon's invasion of Egypt. Revealing the young general's reasons for leading the expedition against Egypt in 1798 and showcasing his fascinating views of the Orient, Cole delves into the psychology of the military titan and his entourage. He paints a multi-faceted portrait of the daily travails of the soldiers in Napoleon's army, including how they imagined Egypt, how their expectations differed from what they found, and how they grappled with military challenges in a foreign land. Cole ultimately reveals how Napoleon's invasion, the first modern attempt to invade the Arab world, invented and crystallized the rhetoric of liberal imperialism.
