Flood Tide
Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon (and to a much lesser extent, the Sun) and are also caused by the Earth and Moon orbiting one another. Tide tables can be used for any given locale to find the predicted times and amplitude (or "tidal range"). The predictions are influenced by many factors including the alignment of the Sun and Moon, the phase and amplitude of the tide (pattern of tides in the deep ocean), the amphidromic systems of the oceans, and the shape of the coastline and near-shore bathymetry (see '' Timing''). They are however only predictions, the actual time and height of the tide is affected by wind and atmospheric pressure. Many shorelines experience semi-diurnal tides—two nearly equal high and low tides each day. Other locations have a diurnal tide—one high and low tide each day. A "mixed tide"—two uneven magnitude tides a day—is a third regular category. Tides va ...

Merovingen Nights
''Merovingen Nights'' is a series of shared universe science fiction books set in writer C. J. Cherryh's Alliance–Union universe. There are eight books in the series: a novel by Cherryh, '' Angel with the Sword'', and seven short fiction anthologies which Cherryh edited. The books were published by DAW Books between 1985 and 1991. ''Angel with the Sword'' was originally published by Cherryh in 1985 as a free-standing novel. The ''Merovingen Nights'' series came into being two years later when Cherryh began editing seven anthologies that were set in the same universe as ''Angel with the Sword''. ''Angel with the Sword'' was subsequently republished with the ''Merovingen Nights'' branding. The books take place on the planet Merovin in the Alliance-Union universe after AD 3240, and as such, they are definitively science fiction, but the level of technology on the planet is quite backwards for the 33rd century. For example, most personal weaponry is of the knife or sword variety ...
