Ocean City HQ by Peter Glassman 5.0 Stars (2 Reviews)    Price verified 55 minutes ago

"Congress approved the new mission for the SEALs. It was based on the evidence you and others have sent from Iraqi and Afghanistan interrogations that terrorists are here from overseas battlefields." Navy Captain Paul Spada and Congress thus set Islamic extremists in the US as military targets. It was the persistence of Navy SEALS like CDR Wilson Dakin that brought this about.The Navy SEALs become the combat arm of the CIA, DEA, and FBI, under the command of Captain Spada and CDR Wilson Dakin. Their mission is to eliminate all Islamic extremists who have infiltrated this country before they start killing American citizens. Dakin's Headquarters is in Ocean City, Maryland.Their actions begin in Boston's MIT, followed by a major confrontation in Las Vegas. The major US battle is yet to come and it's in Scottsdale, Arizona. A merge of al Qaeda, Taliban and ISIS assemble a pilgrimage of non-extreme Muslim worshipers to meet in Scottsdale. They are to face MECCA and show Americans they are indeed peaceable people. The jihadist plan is to kill all 100,000 thousand of them, to evoke terror, and polarize the world as pro-and-anti-Islam. It is a set up for war just like WWII with its fascists and anti-fascists-a new Axis and Ally confrontation which can result in WWIII.

The Open Window by Stjepan Krešimir KraÄŤun 5.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

FROM THE PREFACE This is a story about a man. He is just an ordinary man, no different from you and me. But he finds himself in a predicament. And as our story begins, he happens to find himself in a prison cell. However, due to the nature of his story, he might as well be in his living room, or somewhere out on the street. Still, he finds himself held captive but he is no less free than you and me are right now. And all that he ever wished for was to be free and happy. Isn't that what we all wish for? If freedom and happiness are what he wished for - how did this man manage to end up in a prison cell? He seems to have succeeded in doing the exact opposite of what he wanted. He can't be very clever then. But let's not be too hasty. The lofty peaks he wanted to climb were easy to see from the foot of the mountain, but the road was winding. The simplest things in life are the most important ones and they come quickly to mind, yet even when the story of our life is reaching its final chapters we can still see how far we've gone astray and how we'll never reach them in our lifetime. Yet we've professed during our entire lifetime that those were the only things we really wanted. The only things that we really needed. How is it that we've gone so far astray? Oh, we will have an abundance of excuses. But in our final moments, we will remember. We will remember our regrets. We will remember our dreams that we've forgotten to pursue, but it will be too late then. So we hope that in death - we will find them there. And maybe we will. And maybe we won't. But this man whose story we are about to tell - he did get what he wished for. Not in the way he thought he would, though - but he did get what he wished for. But that is life - it happens regardless of when and how we want it to happen. We all have our own stories and the lives we would like to live. And then we have the lives that we actually live. And these ...

Masochistic Mouthwash: Poetry Noir 1998 - 2003 by Stephen Donald Huff Price verified 4 hours ago

I have never seen so far into anyone's eyes as I saw into yours that day. Ever green, I had expected to find them. stagnant pools long left to lay, still and tepid. Yet, they were filled to astounding depth with colors I had not hoped to see, and movement that shimmered the deep far beyond my measure, far beyond my reach, lucid as noon shallows, clear as summer seas, verdant in the distance like impossible meadows we never touch, but dream to see. Troubled as they were and unfocused, in them, still and crystalline, reflected me... and my own eyes liquid, reflecting you. There in the mysterious grips of your waste, struggles this wretch where he so longs to be, for I could guess where your focus was lost to endless, vacant leagues, as I stood there beside you that day on the shores of your unfathomable seas. Reduced to nothing, I saw you on the far side, staring back at me. Spoken aloud, poetry is the ultimate masochistic mouthwash. Used regularly, it will sponge your brain and fire your breath. So, crack these covers, sip, swish, and rinse. In time, your silly sense of well-being will slip away, and your brain germs will never feel the same way, again.

Not Being There: Remember the sixties? Perhaps you really were there. by John Newton 4.0 Stars (4 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

'If you can remember anything about the sixties then you weren't there.' (Quote attributed to various well-known imbibers of illicit substances.) Is this really how things were? It's the summer of 1969 - conclusion of the mythologised sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll decade that has come to define the lives of those born in the years following the Second World War. But if the sixties were one long party, then Barry never received his invitation. For him there has been precious little sex or rock 'n' roll, and certainly no drugs. Stymied by his chronic shyness and lack of confidence, he worries that he might have missed out on the fun others seem to be having. Perhaps things are about to change though. A cool summer vacation job in a popular British seaside town might make all the difference. Well, maybe. This distinctive blend of laugh-out-loud humour and gentle pathos tracks an eventful year in Barry's student life. It's an account that should serve to enlighten those who can't remember the sixties, and abundantly entertain those who can.

HEIMAT by Paul Marzell 4.2 Stars (16 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

In 1929, four young German friends embark on a life-altering journey from the remnants of post-WWI Germany to the promise-filled streets of America. Dreaming of returning to their beloved hometown of Neisse as triumphant American citizens, their fate takes a dramatic twist in the heart of Berlin's teeming train station. A daring rescue of an American diplomat binds them in an enduring friendship, setting them on a path through the shattered illusions of the American dream, the harrowing depths of the Great Depression, and the challenging process of assimilating into a new culture. As the world plunges into the chaos of World War II, their lives diverge in ways they could never have imagined. Matthias finds himself in the paradoxical role of building ships in an American yard, aimed at the destruction of their homeland. Feliks, driven by a sense of duty, joins the US Army to fight against the Japanese in the Pacific, later aiding the Polish resistance in their homeland. Josef, caught in an ill-timed visit to Neisse, is swept into the ranks of the Wehrmacht, partaking in the invasions of France and Russia, and eventually coming face-to-face with Americans in the Battle of the Bulge. Meanwhile, Edo steps into the hallowed halls of the Nuremberg trials, contributing to the monumental task of bringing Nazi war criminals to justice. Their story is a tapestry of loyalty, betrayal, and the relentless grip of fate, weaving a compelling saga of friendship tested by war, ideology, and the quest for identity in a world coming undone. This is more than a tale of four immigrants; it is a poignant exploration of the human spirit caught in the tumult of history.

The Failed Hippie by Stuart Thut 5.0 Stars (2 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

This is the story of a mad young fool on a spiritual search, who hit reality hard, and was changed. It is a fact based mildly satirical look at the Sixties and Seventies hippie culture and its influence on a vulnerable and already deeply damaged young person. Not without comedy, it is about his spontaneously born and unplanned journey to India. It gives vivid descriptions of the rigours suffered by many similar travellers who were part of that adventurous troop heading east. The writer has a colourful, clear style that manages to avoid cliches while encapsulating truths. This book is also an insightful look at the origins of ways of thinking that were at one time only adhered to by misfits, mavericks and freaks, but have now become integral parts of modern mainstream thinking. No apology is made for the fact that he ultimately came to see Christianity as the source of his solution.

Judi Series. The Truth About Tuesday is the winner of the 2022 suspense award. It has also been nominated as the African contemporary literature in 2022. Read the blurb and forward below. Blurb Sometimes, the truth is better left untold. When Judi altered this law and went on to seek a dark hidden secret, what she found instead was her life in turmoil of danger and now she must be brave and stand against those who will go to any length to have her mouth shut... even kill her. Will she be able to defeat all odds and expose such a daunting secret or will she be alive long enough to tell the tale? An eye opener to suspense crafted by a contemporary Nigerian writer. FOREWORD "The Truth About Tuesday" is the writer's first published novel amongst others. It is the explorative journey into the world of intrigue, of one woman's survival instincts in the face of danger, undaunted by the perniciousness of her adventure, all in a resolve to speak her own truth. The imagery in the novel encapsulates the writer's attempt to portray the Gothic, and how one metamorphoses through experiences of betrayal, desperation, and quest to be a moral compass in a world where humanity has lost relevance. Interestingly, adaptations and coinages from both contemporary and old-time literature create a view of perspectives from both worlds. Jane Ifunanya Nnaji (B.A/B.edu) (Editor)

For decades, the Global Circuit of Wrestling has dominated the pro wrestling world. After inheriting their father's gym, Aaron and Chad Lindberg seek to change that. Despite the GCW having the best talent in the world, they've become sloppy with their showmanship, a shortcoming the Lindberg brothers tend to capitalize on with their new wrestling company, the Number One Wrestling Federation.
