The New York Times bestselling author of Mind Magic returns as FBI agent Lily Yu gets some very bad news… Lily learns she was right. Tom Weng—a powerful sorcerer allied with the Old One who keeps trying to take over the world—is still alive. But that's not the worst. Weng is a dragon spawn, the product of a botched hatching given a human form in an attempt to keep him from going mad. A failed attempt. Meanwhile, Lily’s husband Rule is facing a Challenge to the death. Then there’s the possible reappearance of another sorcerer. But none of that matters when their enemy strikes out of nowhere in the worst way possible. Lily must face a nightmare and return to a place she never wanted to see again. The place where she died…

217Plus is a methodology and a software tool that was developed by the RIAC to aid in the assessment of system reliability. It represents the next generation of the PRISM software tool initially released in 1999. The original software contained six embedded models to estimate the failure rate of various components when exposed to a specific set of stresses that are defined by the user. The 217Plus contains twelve embedded component models. Until the release of this handbook, the equations comprising the component reliability prediction models were not available in printed form. As such, a user of the old software tool could not see the exact equations that comprised the models. It is always advantageous for analysts to be able to review details of the models, so that reliability prediction results can be better interpreted and supported through mutual practitioner, management and customer understanding. The RIAC, therefore, developed and published this handbook to make available the equations and model parameters that form the basis of the 217Plus methodology.
