666: Mark of the Beast by Will Clark (4 Reviews)    Price verified 9 minutes 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 53 minutes 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 53 minutes 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. The History of Eternity is one man's meditation on the reverberating shock of his encounter with Henry Adams, Aristotle, Augustine, Bach, Balzac, Beckett, Bergson, Bloch, Boehme, Bonhoeffer, Cervantes, Chekhov, Cicero, Claudel, Dante, Darwin, Derrida, Emily Dickinson, Dostoevsky, Eckhart, Emerson, Ezekiel, Faulkner, Gide, Goethe, Heraclitus, Herodotus, Hume, Isaiah, Henry James, Jeremiah, Samuel Johnson, Kafka, Kierkegaard, D.H.

It is the first novel in an action-packed multi-book military saga that follows the life of a combat soldier from his early years in the Korean War to his middle age in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere in Israel and the middle east in wars that are in the immediate future. It is fast paced and action-oriented as casualties and a willingness to sign up for additional front line tours and new wars result in Roberts shouldering responsibilities far beyond his years. Fans of WEB Griffin, Larry Bond, Tom Clancy, and Harold Coyle will enjoy this great addition to military fiction. Peace and Conflict is the second book in "The Soldiers and Marines" series. It follows Chris Roberts as he serves a peacetime hitch in Europe broken by several assignments to Vietnam - first with the fabled Second Parachute Regiment of the Foreign Legion as it goes down at Dien Bien Phu and then as an observer of the military's effort to defeat the Viet Cong. The third novel "War Breaks Out" describes the role and decisions of Roberts and his men when the Marines, reserves, and National Guard troops rush to Europe to reinforce NATO and participate in the intense war of air and armor that might have occurred if Russia's paranoid leaders had decided to invade Germany and fight NATO instead of giving up power and freeing their satellite nations.

Our choices and those of others may define our lives, but our ability to love or lack of it defines us. An Angel Comes Calling shows this simple but profound truth in a story of two timelines inspired by real life events. Compelled by anger, Lucy arrives at Tom's front door to confront him about books he's written about their past relationship. Afflicted with a serious personality disorder, she is incapable of genuine love, but very capable of manipulation, deceit and cruelty. Returning home from an expedition to the Arctic, Lucy and Tom are reunited after four months apart. Having made the choice to seek professional help three years previous, she is filled with love as they savour their togetherness. And so begin the two strands which weave the story of An Angel Comes Calling. A tale of contrast, it's underpinned by compassion and a belief each of us has the power to heal, change and grow.

Add a third wheel and the family circle runs like a flat tire. No one except Peyton Mayer wants Peyton as a weekend guest at the family cottage and yet, there he is. Peyton is a popular TV reporter, at least among people who enjoy his on air gaffes, but his ability to get into trouble bodes poorly for a relaxing weekend. Peyton and Stinky's cousins look for love in the wrong places and while no one's virtue is compromised, they would have had more fun listening to Peyton mispronounce the mayor's name on the eleven o'clock news. About Stinky Stories Stinky and Eddie appear in almost eighty comic short stories in the #1 bestselling Amazon series. Stinky is chatty and insouciant, and while Eddie may not say as much, when something needs to be done, he's already doing it. They're as close as Brooklyn and Queens and as unlikely to separate. Stinky doesn't go looking for trouble, but he can't hide from it. It's part of the "best looking man on the planet" package. As often as neighbor Peyton Mayer finds trouble he never seems to recognize it when they're face to face. He might lead Eddie into the seamy side of Chinatown, have his seams sewn by a seamstress neighbor, or find a window to a nineteenth century tragedy hiding under his closet floor. Stinky and Eddie would like to live quietly, but lucky for us that never happens when Peyton is around. Stinky and Eddie are supported by a collection of outrageous guest stars and an ever expanding cast of relatives. The stories are witty and literate and readers don't have to leave their brains in a jar to enjoy them. Whether it's a flat-out farce, bedroom comedy, sexy romp, sly satire or screwball family intrigue, you're never far from a happy ending in every Stinky story.

Hitta's Tea Maker by Edwina Fort (Griot's Garden Publications) (1,021 Review)    Price verified 14 hours ago

I screamed as I tried to run past him, but his big warm hand palmed my belly before he slammed me back against the wall. It wasn't hard enough to hurt, but it was hard enough to get my attention, not to mention the fact that he was crowding my space in a very threatening way. He was so strong, his hand still flat against my stomach was holding me against the wall while his other arm rested on the wall just above my head. He leaned in close, trapping me with his big stout body. Tears filled my eyes when his raged filled face got close to mine. I wanted to scream for help, but I was so terrified the only thing I could do was stand there shivering. "Where yo' f***ing brother?" He growled. And... Oh, my goodness! The force of his words had my knees knocking, if his hand was not there on my stomach holding me in place, I would have slid to the ground. "I -- I don't know," I cried. "Please don't hurt me!" "He's not here, boss," someone said behind us. "It's cool, go downstairs and wait for me." Although I couldn't see anything past Hitta's big body, I heard the other men as they filed out, leaving me alone with this... this... Force of nature! "Please don't hurt me... " I repeated through trembling lips as his gaze raked over my face. He moved back a few inches so that he could look down my body and I saw somethingchange in his eyes. I bit my lip wanting to cry out again when I realized I was standing there in nothing but my black thigh-high stockings, black panties, and my black halter sweater... his big warm palm was still pressed against my naked stomach. "Damn... " I heard him whisper as he took in my body. "What do you want?!" I yelled, not able to take it anymore. His heated gaze came back up to mine. "Yo' crackhead a** brotha stole money from me yesterday." I closed my eyes... No, Westly! No! Oh God! No! Out of all the people in the world to steal from. Please, God,... don't let this be true!

Elected For Death (Susan Henshaw Book 10) by Valerie Wolzien (58 Reviews)    Price verified 14 hours ago

Among rich northeastern suburbanites, politics can be poison. Hancock, Connecticut -- a historic enclave of wealth and conservatism -- is in the final heat of a three-way mayoral election when long-shot candidate Ivan Deakin takes a sip of cyanide-laced water and is retired to the morgue. His murder exacerbates an already fierce controversy over proposed changes to local real estate rules -- changes that would drastically alter property values. Like everyone else, amateur sleuth Susan Henshaw suspects unusually dirty politics, and when her husband -- who's running for town council -- is tarred in the general smearing, Susan gets serious about finding Ivan's killer. In the excellent Elected for Death the possibilities are myriad, for Ivan Deakin was a political loose cannon, and the murkiness of his business deals is matched only by the notoriety of his romantic adventures... Praise for Valerie Wolzien: 'A nice writing style and considerable wit' - Chicago Tribune 'Engaging' - People Magazine Valerie Wolzien is the author of the Susan Henshaw suburban mysteries and the Josie Pigeon seashore mysteries.

The Limits of Love by Frederic Raphael (15 Reviews)    Price verified 15 hours 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.

Marin's Dale by Evan Bollinger (Dark Niche Publishing) (75 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

This is neither invasion nor extermination. The truth is far more disturbing... There were clothes everywhere. Shirts, blouses, underwear, jeans, coats--everything. All discarded in a large swath that extended for probably 300 feet and was as wide as the road itself. Some were stained with the fluid, others still pristine. Tyler stared to the sky above. The scar had returned. But this time, it was not a scar, so much as a single giant orb of red light. Like a giant camera, it flashed succinctly. It was as much a part of the sky as the moon or the sun, or the stars or the planes or birds that had once traced the celestial bounds. As the crimson flash raped the sky and land, the creatures below transformed. Squirming in pools of slime, they went. From gelatinous grey, to hardened gray, with slits and holes ripping through; they peeled and jerked, and the whole time the screaming -- the shrill, pained screaming as their bodies destroyed themselves to create themselves. They were becoming human. Ahead, he could see it. The line of mindless bodies snaked to the precipice, the very edge. And then they plunged. One after another, releasing interlaced fingers, the bodies stepped off the edge. They plummeted, again, and again, and again; tumbling, twisting, spinning free and wild; so easy, so gentle. Like snowflakes on a quiet night. When a crimson flash rips through sky high above, few are there to see it. But something has arrived. And beneath those mountain peaks, the city of Marin's Dale will soon find out... Assimilation is just beginning... Warning: sexuality, profanity, and alien horror violence
