Saddle the Angry Wind by Larry D. McDonald (77 Reviews)    Price verified 15 minutes ago

A historical tale of life in northern Missouri at the end of America's Civil War, and further onward into the 20th Century. It is the account of two young Missouri boys, Jim and his cousin Johnny, forced by the storm of a civil war into situations and decisions beyond their years. They have both lost their fathers to guerrilla raids, and they have only Jim's Uncle Bert as a father figure to raise and advise them. Living within the backdraft of Bleeding Kansas, the American Civil War, and Missouri's precarious position during this brutal conflict, Jim and Johnny adapt to their new position and lives within this new country, even as Quantrill's disciples continue to terrorize northeastern Missouri.

Death - both violent and natural - was always present and there to be dealt with. But it was also a time of a nation healing, and the hope of life perhaps continuing on...

The Adventures of Brother Arcadius and Pangur Ban: 11 Tales by Margaret Nagel (Neverwert Press) (70 Reviews)    Price verified 2 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.

Flesh Machine: The Story by Stjepan Krešimir Kračun (1 Review)    Price verified 6 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. ...

Breeding Bull and Hucows - Two different Fates In 2083, there are 84,615 dairy farms worldwide, with an average of one hundred ninety-five Hucows per farm. This means about sixteen and a half million hucows are currently in captivity. Their purpose is to produce milk and meat products for humanity. After several epidemics led to the extinction of much of the larger livestock population, humankind decided to turn to other resources. With global overpopulation, the obvious choice was to turn to human products. In the face of global overpopulation, it was apparent to resort to human effects. Warning: This ebook contains very explicit sex and depictions of violence, including domination, pregnancy, lactation, transformation, humiliation or Breeding. Here is a preview: The brunette J-673, with her Spanish roots, sky-blue eyes, and expressionless bedroom eyes, who had occupied the neighboring box, already completed the process. The mental change also had something to do with the person's intelligence. She was probably not the smartest in her previous lives. Instead, she had naturally had the best genetic predispositions physically. Dumb fucks good, so to speak. Joern would put it to the test this afternoon. She had been cleared for mating. He would make sure that she would bear his fertile seed within her. J-673 had the potential to become one of the most productive hucows on the farm. And Joern could tell how eager she was to become a part of the elite group of lactating females. Already during her early stage of staying here, how she acted and carried herself showed how well suited she was to live out her days as one of his chosen hucows.

She represented the farm's future in many ways: young, fertile, and eager to serve the cause. As Joern walked toward her pen, he marveled at the idea that soon they ...

Super Sonic Seppuku: a suicidal novel by Trevor R. Fairbanks Price verified 6 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 6 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.

I am Willow. I am 28 years old. I have two beautiful children. My precious baby lambs, who I would die for. But I am also, unfortunately, prey. I don't mean to be prey. No one in their right mind would sign up for such a thing. I simply am. I carry it as a scent. Secrete it as skin and saturate my folicles in it. Maybe it's the subtle hints of fear. Maybe my vulnerability carries intoxicating notes I'm not aware of. Or maybe it's the musk of overwhelming guilt that burns even my own nostrils. Whatever it is, I watch it ride along the tail-end of a breeze and snag only predatory noses. Noses that sniff me out and give chase. Noses that force me to run, to hide, only to inevitably be caught. But I am not normal prey. And my Shepherd is not a normal herder. When I call to Him in my darkest hour, watching sharp teeth carrying my precious lambs off captive, He answers with a predator of his own: A yellow-eyed wolf named Isaiah. He offers me one year of marriage. One year of his own sharp teeth for me to hide behind and use at will. And in that one year's time, he will get my children back for me. But what happens when I want him, too? What if, this time, I choose to be prey? Want to be trapped, encircled, caught? His teeth, his claws, embedded in me forever? And what if that is the only thing he cannot give me? Join our precious doe, Willow, and her tenacious wolf, Isaiah, as they overcome mountainous obstacles through faith, love and personal growth. Whether predator or prey, the hunter or the hunted, in God's hands, we are powerful weapons for good.

Are You Positive? by Stephen Davis (L&G Productions LLC) (120 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Ripped from the headlines of today's news, "Are You Positive?" is a fictitious courtroom drama in the style of John Grisham. 26-year-old Tyree Johnson stands accused of first degree murder in a prominent South Carolina courtroom. But his murder weapon is not a gun or a knife; in fact, there was no violent crime at all. His "victim," Beth Ann Brooks, dated Tyree for a few months, and they made love more than once. However, Tyree Johnson had been diagnosed HIV-Positive, and the prosecution claims that Beth Ann Brooks was infected with HIV by Tyree and died some months later. The defense, however, claims there is reasonable doubt that Tyree's HIV diagnosis was wrong - that, according to numerous scientific studies, the so-called "HIV tests" are fraught with errors, and have been ever since their inventor, Dr. Robert Gallo, lied on his patent application. Furthermore, Tyree's lawyer argues that there is no scientific evidence that HIV is transmitted by heterosexual intercourse, and that Tyree's girlfriend died from taking lethal anti-retroviral drugs rather than from any HIV/AIDS-related illness. Based on more than 500 actual scientific studies and references, the author claims that every word of sworn testimony is true and verifiable. "Are You Positive?" raises serious questions about whether anyone has ever been properly diagnosed as HIV-Positive, and whether most AIDS victims are dying from the side-effects of the HIV medications prescribed by their doctors - all in a spell-binding novel. You be the judge.
