Eric's problem is that he's at war with nearly every woman in his life at the very moment he has grown to desire nothing more than the love of one girl. That is, his mother assigns him never-ending chores, his aunt taunts him as a male chauvinist piglet, and his sisters protest his frequent tinkling on the toilet seat.

666: Mark of the Beast by Will Clark (4 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

This story depicts a scenario of how and why the Battle of Armageddon could happen in the near future. It incorporates current events and international relationships to show who is most likely to initiate that apocalyptic battle against Israel? That answer is simple, by considering who wants to destroy Israel at this very moment. Clearly, it's the Islamic nations. The leader of that battle will be the one-world leader at that time. This means the one-world leader must be a Muslim. Muslims might even consider him their Messiah, while he pretends to be the other Messiah. How can this happen? Simple. That leader is described in prophesy as the 'Great Deceiver.' He is such a great deceiver that no one really knows his home of origin. When his reign begins he will be lauded as a 'man of peace' and will be respected and revered by all nations. His power will begin by becoming leader of the ten European nations that once were part of the Roman Empire. Those countries will lose their historical identities and will become Muslim through continued massive immigration and exploding propagation. That condition will soon be achieved and will propel the Beast to unleashed power. Through treaties, sanctions, and threats, he will disarm countries and make them vulnerable to his real plans of destruction. He will also initiate his 'mark' to allow people to transact business. Without his mark, people will not be allowed to buy or sell items. The mark will be an interactive computer chip that will identify each person as a follower of the one-world leader. Once he has computer control over every person, he will evolve into the 'Beast' and begin his inhuman acts against humanity. Before this Beast can attack Israel, he must first destroy the strength of America. Presently, America is the 'great restrainer' that protects Israel against that planned annihilation. Can patriotic Americans repel the invaders who plan to kill them? Will the Islamic attacks at the Jezreel ...

America 20XX: The New World Order by Will Clark (2 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Although fictional, the characters in this story discuss many important events and practices occurring in the lives of every American, and many citizens throughout the world. The strong movement by leaders of many countries to establish what they term 'a new world order' is a hidden danger many citizens do not recognize. That idea concerns 'globalism,' where citizens of all countries are ruled as if they were citizens of only one universal country. How are we almost there, and what are the dangers of globalism? Our national resolve has been attacked, and influenced to accept globalism in three major areas: education, religion, and free speech. First is education. National education policies now promote a standard student rather than a successful student. Second, religion must be destroyed or diminished to allow world compatibility. Third, every free citizen must guard every word he or she says, or be subjected to criticism and threat by our government. What are the dangers of globalism? The dangers are many, but two dangers expose their ugly faces in the forefront. They are authoritarianism from the elite, and mediocrity from the masses. Why is a strong, independent, and separate America necessary? We must continue to be a beacon for the world. Without the example we set for every nation and every world citizen, those citizens will not be shown the vision of what can be if they strive for success. Progress and success are not free and random gifts. This novel answers the question: If America is ever defeated, how could it happen? If it were to happen, it would require conspiracy and treason from our highest level of government. It would begin with a federal constabulary, and supported by disregard for our Second Amendment. In this story, Vision is the new federal constabulary force established by U.S. President Arabar when funding is not available for states and municipalities to fund their own police and security forces. This major funding crisis results ...

The History of Eternity by James E. Winder (7 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

You cannot help but wonder what and why you are. The History of Eternity is a book that again and again answers these questions, as it celebrates the tragic joy of wonder at the enigma of your existence. There will always be a clamoring after elusive fact. There will always be a hankering for some durable theory that will explain the fact. There will always be an inability to match the one wholly with the other. Because something is always left out, there will always persist a stubbornly invisible and intractable remainder. And this remainder, this dark matter behind every thought, behind every desire, behind every joy, behind every sorrow, will continue to populate your universe with wonder. Read this book, if you will, and share that wonder. You are born into a conspiracy of significance, already entangled with your equally lonely others. The history of eternity, the tension between nowhere and now here, defines the struggle between the life you are living now and whatever there may be of the life to come. The History of Eternity is a series of broken elegies to those who have mattered, to their moments and your moments, to their sanity and your sanity, to their madness and your madness.

Trauma Bonds: a novel of suspense by Katherine Carlson (4 Reviews)    Price verified 17 hours ago

Lizbeth Shannon must escape Skid Row and stall her descent into madness. But not before severing the trauma bonds shackling her to an early grave. In the fall of 2005, devils chased Liz Shannon across nightmarish acres and deep into the bowels of hell. Not actual devils, only personal demons. And hell meant the seediest underbelly of L.A., where she walked among clever predators and outright ghouls. Discarded and homeless after her girlfriend, Dell -- a hospice nurse -- finally grew a spine and tossed the "energy vampire" out the door and smack into the jaws of the street wolves. But Lizbeth isn't really a vampire. Forget the pale skin, sharp bite, and a life spent roaming through the gloaming hours. Depraved conditions fell upon her early, as they do to many who end up deformed by circumstance. And yet, an inexplicable bond remains between the two women -- an otherworldly connection -- a cord that cannot be severed, no matter the fraying threads. Still, Dell can't root through the ugly places or prevent her love from hitting bottom. Only Liz can battle the fiends and avoid the abyss. First, she must dig her inner child from the ruins. But the weight of history hovers, like the sword of Damocles, eager to generate more debris -- and crush them both to smithereens. ***This book, previously published as Dig Up Through Within, deals with mature themes of trauma and abuse. "Masterfully written." ~ J. Adams

River's Rowan by Tiffini Johnson (4 Reviews)    Price verified 2 minutes ago

Small towns have big secrets. In New Hannah Cove, the lives of five teenage girls will be forever altered by one reckless decision. River should be Popularity's poster child: he's on the football team, and he lives in a mansion. The students of Covenant High, though, keep score of his anger issues, and treat him like an outsider. Except Brielle, who falls in love quickly with him. But when young love fades, a betrayal leads to tragedy and New Hannah Cove becomes a monster's playground. An obsessed father bent on revenge targets the girls who bullied his son. He stalks them, learns their greatest fears, constructs a soundproofed shack, and kidnaps them one by one. He calls the shack "The Radical Redress," a place where wrongs can be made right. He customizes their torture to their specific fears. There's Brielle, who fears being lost. Sierra, the star pole vaulter and the only Black person in her family, fears dying at the hands of a racist police officer. Willow, the school journalist, questions whether River was truly bullied, and believes beauty brings acceptance. Eden, who is top in the class, dreams of becoming a scientist, but fears the dark. Her dad is a felon, and her family is made up of Pretenders. There's also Sage. Unconnected to the tragedy at Covenant High, she already knows abuse: her fear is water. When the girls realize they're not alone, they hatch a daring escape plan. Some are disfigured, some are homeless, and some are angry. In a town where no one suspects your kidnapper, they have to fight for their own survival. Not all of them come home. From the author of "Dance for Me," "River's Rowan" examines themes of abuse, racism and what determines who is a bully and who is a victim.

The Limits of Love by Frederic Raphael (15 Reviews)    Price verified 19 minutes ago

'He belongs to that small pantheon of writers who emerged in the 1950s and 60s who were not afraid to highlight anti-semitism in post-war Britain' - Jewish Chronicle Otto Kahane, a survivor of Dachau, arrives in North London to stay with his only living relatives, the Adler family. Isidore runs a delicatessen in Cricklewood, his wife Hannah was born in East London, her family having emigrated from Poland before the war. They have prospered, and moved from above the shop in Cricklewood to neighbouring Golders Green. Their daughter Susan marries Ben, a communist party member, and they become part of the young leftist movement that became dominant in Britain after the war. Stolid Colin, her brother, rejects his Jewish heritage, moving with his wife Tessa to Wimbledon. He is an architect, employed in the great house building project of the new Labour government. Youngest sibling Julia looks to a future at university. She is part of the new generation, where ethnic roots are unimportant. Still, she chooses reluctant Jewish boy Paul as her boyfriend. Moving away from the privileged territory of his hit novel and TV series The Glittering Prizes, accomplished novelist and screenwriter Frederic Raphael explores conflicts of Jewish identity in post-war London. He identifies a particularly British discomfort, embarrassment even, about the trauma of the Holocaust. With his screenwriter's ear for the nuance of dialogue he follows his characters with brilliance, sympathy and humour. As a picture of life immediately after the war this is a fascinating novel, and unique in its portrait of a Jewish community during that era.
