Damned to Hell after a life of misery, Niccolo da Firenze soon discovered Lucifer's prison was not what the Church had always claimed. His new home was a breath of fresh air, Lucifer was a wise and gentle leader, and Niccolo quickly rose through the ranks and became the Horseman of Pestilence. Surrounded by new family and friends, accepted despite his faults, Niccolo would often forget his part in the coming Apocalypse. That bliss came to an end once Cadmus, the Horseman of Death, inherits a vision of Lucifer's murder. So, with his fellow Horseman by his side, Niccolo begins his frantic journey to uncover a conspiracy involving ancient demons, corrupted humans and even a few gods. This is a story about the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and how they rode to save the Devil. *Author's Note: This series was given a major editing overhaul in June 2020, so it should be even more enjoyable than what is described in earlier reviews.

LESSONS FROM LIFE by JEFF ROSENFELD (10 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

This is the first of four novels portraying the uplifting and timeless journeys of four generations of the Bird Family. This book is about the lifetime friendship between a seventy-five year old Holocaust survivor and an eighteen year old car accident survivor as well as their incredible experiences both before and after they met. Their will to live life to the fullest and capacity for love conquers all, even death. The novel is based in part upon my own true story and recovery from a serious car accident. KIRKUS REVIEWS An unlikely friendship is kindled when a young disabled man meets a Holocaust survivor. In this short novel, Rosenfeld weaves together the tragic, yet inspiring stories of two unlikely friends. Jonathan, 18, is a car-accident survivor and working to regain strength in his legs. Sarah, a Holocaust survivor with many emotional scars, searches for ways to live with a past that continually haunts her. When the two meet in a fitness-center Jacuzzi after swimming for rehabilitation, each opens up to reveal a tragic story of overcoming emotional and physical pain. Rosenfeld's novel moves quickly. The author advances the narrative and maintains momentum with the back-and-forth dialogue between the two characters. While the age difference between Jonathan and Sarah renders their relationship platonic, this age gap allows a distance that collapses all artifice. What the reader will find is a true sense of human connection between these characters--one that defies sex, gender and self-consciousness. At times, the reader may long for a more present-tense world. Much of the novel is occupied by back story, and the characters' present-time interactions are brief and in service to the delivery of past stories. Similarly, Jonathan and Sarah are often largely defined by their disabilities and past abuse, leaving little to present them as rounded characters except for their struggles and delicate treatment of one another. However, the author satisfyingly ...

Ex-GI and Arabian Horse Breeder, Christopher Roberts senses something unnervingly familiar about Republican Presidential Nominee, Ashe Litton Upton during a rally in a local park in Cottonwood, New Mexico. Besides the alarming coincidence of possessing the same name of an American Army officer and Nazi Collaborator long believed murdered by Russian soldiers at the end of WWII, it isn't until they lock eyes at the rally and a hateful recognition surfaces. When an assassin's bullet misses the rancher's head by a mere few inches, Christopher realizes they are one and the same. Failing in the assassin attempt of Christopher Roberts, Upton's long-standing association with Jules Wong, his personal mechanic for hire, is shot and left for dead by Upton. Wong, barely surviving the assassination attempt, and fixated on revenge goes dark with an impromptu journey to New Mexico. There, he introduces himself as "Zephyr," his well-honed nom de guerre in the 'cleaning' community, and shows Roberts a 'hit-list' that reveals the rancher's name as one of the last remaining survivors from Christopher's old unit familiar with Upton's list of war crimes against the United States. Wong informs Roberts that the last key witness, holding Upton's darkest secret, is in hiding at the U.S. Consulate in Frankfort, Germany and remains the most important living witness capable of stopping Upton from plunging the nation into chaos.

A Gracious Enemy & After the War Volume One by Michael G Kramer OMIEAust. (19 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

The Allied war effort in Indochina (the French colonies of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam) was a war of aggression which allowed many millions of US dollars of arms sales. All allied service men that I cam into contact with did their duties to the best of their abilities. As an Australian serving with the First Battalion Royal Australian Regiment in Vietnam during 1968 - 1969, I feel that it is my duty to inform readers of how the Australian infantry soldiers saw the war and how they felt about fighting the Vietnamese. Because of the fact that this story is so vast, I am splitting the full story into two volumes. "A Gracious Enemy & After the War Volume One cover events in Indochina from 1770 to 1975, when the Americans withdrew from Vietnam after loosing more than 50,000 war dead. It must be remembered that the US army has a rate of 10 soldiers in support for every "Grunt" at the "Sharp End". When viewed in this way, the American KIA figure for the the Twelve years of US involvement is extremely high. After the American withdrawal in 1975, the Vietnamese Army invaded Kampuchea and removed the Pol Pot Regime from power. The yet to be completed "A Gracious Enemy & After the War Volume Two", deals with events in and outside of Vietnam after 1975 and includes the arrival and successful integration into Australian society of the Vietnamese Boat People

Absolute Agent: Techno-Thriller by Raven Yang (QuadRingEntis) (1 Review)    Price verified 6 hours ago

The cover of this book was supposed to be its title: Top Secret. The supreme level of the universal data-protection (green/blue/red and Orange levels). This is what the icon above says and means. I didn't make the working title of my book its official out of professional courtesy. Anyone has the right to partake in the modern-day adventure -- a Spy Game, because any spy game is the search for the truth. But if You Already Know, you can still "get the kick" from reading this novel. You just have go through its chapters d???-w??b? (ten-to-one). Otherwise -- proceed as usual, and take it easy. So -- What if Michael Crichton, Philip K. Dick, and Wachowski brothers were wrong about one little thing? The ongoing digital revolution rewrote rules of the informational warfare.

The Adventures of Brother Arcadius and Pangur Ban: 11 Tales by Margaret Nagel (Neverwert Press) (70 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

"Margaret Nagel delivers a likable, funny and, above all, believable protagonist in this delightful story brimming with captivating characters... Thankfully, Brother Arcadius is only 20 at the end of the book's final tale which should leave time for many more adventures in what is sure to be a much-anticipated sequel." - BlueInk starred review Not a children's book in spite of its readability and appearance, The Adventures of Brother Arcadius and Pangur Ban deals light handedly with the hardships and hazards of the 9th century AD. Serious, dutiful, and naive Brother Arcadius, a young monk, sets out from his native Dublin to take up life at the remote Alpine monastery of Spiritus Sanctus. On the first stage of his long journey, the ocean crossing from Ireland to England, he rouses himself from sea sickness long enough to rescue a stow-away kitten from death at the hands of a wrathful sailor. He gives the kitten the Irish name of Pangur Ban and takes it with him to his destination, which turns out to be not quite your usual monastery - just as Pangur Ban is not quite your usual cat. Eleven interlinked tales recount the adventures of monk and cat over the next four years, and capture the wonderment of a time when, no matter where you lived, much of the rest of the world seemed strange and far away. Readers may know, or may like to know, that sometime during the 9th century, a monk living in what is now Switzerland wrote a poem comparing his own love of scholarship to his cat's love of catching mice. He wrote the poem in Old Irish on a leaf of a manuscript that was otherwise in Latin and Greek. He gave the cat's name as "Pangur Ban," but remained anonymous himself. It is an engaging poem. In modern times, in various translations, it has appeared in many anthologies, and has been an inspiration for much commentary, an animated film, and several books, including The Adventures of Brother Arcadius and Pangur Ban.

And, foolishly, one of them writes to the old man telling him what they have found, forgetting that the old Russian does not live alone. The decision is made to travel to Russia in the middle of winter and break into the Monastery, into the place where the icons were concealed over a hundred years ago, knowing there is a risk that they might already have been found, but not even thinking that there might be others waiting for them, others who desire the Katerina Triptych, the favourite icon of Catherine the Great, an icon which would be worth millions. It is freezing as they crunch across the frozen lake towards the white walls of the monastery, peering through the misty darkness, searching for the square tower and then the square building described in the sheets of paper taken from the icon. And at last their attention is focussed on the high embrasure through which the old Cossack's grandfather was lifted into the monastery, taking the icons with him. They don't see the two figures far back on the lake, hidden by the mist. ...

Flesh Machine: The Story by Stjepan Krešimir Kračun (1 Review)    Price verified 12 hours ago

INTRODUCTION A young man is murdered at the subway station in the early hours of the morning. The victim was strangled, skinned, and the perpetrator then proceeded to remove his brain from his skull. The gruesome crime was captured on security cameras, and this leads to a quick arrest of a peculiar man. He calls himself 'the assembly' to which the latest additions were a new brain and skin from the man he had just murdered, or so he claims. Rushing in to unravel this outlandish story is a self-loathing misanthropic lawyer Dave who begins to tell us his story of his encounter with Sam, as 'the assembly' prefers to be called. Dave sees this case as a chance he's been waiting for all his life - to get out of public office (and his own narcissistic mind) and into fame and fortune that he believes will be the solution to all of this life's problems - and he has many - so many that his whole life is one big problem. But our dear Sam has other plans: for himself and Dave. As Dave meets Sam, after reading all the case files about him that defy both science as well as common sense, he is drawn into a conversation he did not expect, but Sam had carefully planned. Who's on the therapist's couch now? If the psychopath becomes the therapist and the common man becomes the psychopath - what is the conclusion? What is the resolution? Dave sets out to reel in a big reward, but he ends up getting more than he bargained for. FROM THE PREFACE Dancing on the edge of order and chaos, logic and paradox, comedy and tragedy, meaning and absurdity - the characters of this story hang in the balance, but not for very long. As I was writing this book and initially aimed to preserve this balance - I decided to identify the end-line of almost all extremes, linger there for awhile in mischievous deliberation, and then not only cross the line but jump over it with a running start and finish it off with a somersault. With that said, it's worth noting that nothing is off-limits in this book. ...

Super Sonic Seppuku: a suicidal novel by Trevor R. Fairbanks Price verified 12 hours ago

PUNK ROCKERS AREN'T AS COOL AS YOU THINK THEY ARE! Yeah, this book isn't very good. Told in a first person style, it is the coming of age story of the portraitist Krust. You've never read a book about a portraitist before? Well, there's probably a reason for that. Krust is an ugly little man from an ugly little town who makes an ugly little deal with the Devil that ends up killing all of his ugly little friends. Krust is a pervert, a freeloader, a drug abuser and a lowlife and this book illustrates all these horrible attributes in vivid detail. The ending is cliche and boring and not very well thought out. Avoid SUPER SONIC SEPPUKU at all costs. I have other books that are better. Maybe go read one of them instead.

millennYELL: diatribes of self-discovery by Bryan Wright (Historia|Research Press) (2 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

millennYELL: diatribes of self-discovery is a collection of poems intending to complicate the characterization of millennials as naively hopeful or as helplessly impotent. Bryan D. Wright's first book of poetry sweeps the personal, political, social, and cultural minefields left behind by the culture warriors of America's previous generations. His poems are a lament for the loss of the commonweal during the past thirty years of American life and culture -- while also being a rally cry to take action and seek meaning in the alienation pervading American society at the outset of the twenty-first century. Mr. Wright's poems in millennYELL are presented under four main themes of poetic expression - nihilism, longing, despair, and promise - each separated by a timeline of related events in American history from 1990 to 2020. His poetry grapples with key adversities for young adults: the tenuous grounds on which human meaning and action rest, the risks associated with desiring something over nothing, the anxiety that accompanies the pursuit of goals and values, and the latent (and dismal) prospects for success at the outset of every lifetime of endeavor. The poems - disquieting, exacting, and poignant - express key moments of personal anguish and insight that interrupted his prolonged inner dialog on the meaning of adulthood for the first generation to shape the next century and next millennium.
