WHEN THE FIREWORKS END: A story about two teenagers' last summer together in an idyllic Japanese fishing town by ALEX LUND 3.8 Stars (13 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

The Siege of Masada: A Historical Drama of the Famous Battle Between the Jews and Romans by Charles River Editors 3.5 Stars (166 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

*Includes pictures of Masada and other important places and events *Includes a table of contents *Includes a bibliography of other books about Masada "Since we long ago resolved never to be servants to the Romans, nor to any other than to God Himself, Who alone is the true and just Lord of mankind, the time is now come that obliges us to make that resolution true in practice... We were the very first that revolted, and we are the last to fight against them; and I cannot but esteem it as a favor that God has granted us, that it is still in our power to die bravely, and in a state of freedom." - Elazar ben Yair Many Westerners have never even heard of the Siege of Masada, and those who have may simply know it as an obscure reference to a minor battle fought in a remote location of the Roman world. By contrast, virtually all Israeli school children know the story of Masada as a premier example of nationalistic pride. According to historian Klara Palotai, "Masada became a symbol for a heroic 'last stand' for the State of Israel and played a major role for Israel in forging national identity" Indeed, the heroic story of a small band of fighters facing incalculable odds has many elements that are reminiscent of both the Battle of Thermopylae and the Battle of the Alamo. The refrain "Masada shall not fall again," coined in a poem on the subject by Yitzak Lamdan, became a cry of resolve in battle for Israeli soldiers in the 20th century, just as the cry of "Remember the Alamo" had galvanized Americans. For decades, the Israelite military used the site of Masada as the location for swearing in their new recruits, and the choice of the site was obviously designed to evoke within the new soldiers a deep sense of connection with their national history. The Siege of Masada was the final battle in a long series of fights that constituted the First Jewish-Roman War. The Roman Empire had established control over the region in the 1st century BCE, when the Roman proconsul ...

Keep Your Eyes on the Flag by Lucille Frazier Burgio 4.6 Stars (29 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

August 1959. 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.

The Adventures of Brother Arcadius and Pangur Ban: 11 Tales by Margaret Nagel (Neverwert Press) 4.7 Stars (70 Reviews)    Price verified 8 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.

Are You Positive? by Stephen Davis (L&G Productions LLC) 3.7 Stars (120 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours 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.

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.

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 world shifts on its very foundation when the Great Depression is followed by yet another catastrophic world war. War that destroys hope and shatters dreams. For Mavis, the fight becomes personal. She enlists in the Women's Army Corp and though the Allies eventually win, she comes home defeated and burdened with more heavy secrets that threaten to bring her down for good. Only after returning to her beloved land does she begin to heal. With hard work and keen foresight, she moves the ranch, and herself, into a bold new era. The Silver Cross Ranch Legacy weaves the lessons of history into the lives of four mothers and daughters who fight the odds, and sometimes each other, to defend their way of life. With stubborn tenacity and hard-won faith, the women learn the beauty in their differences, the power of forgiveness, and create hope for the future with the reassurance that each step taken during life's sometimes rugged journey leads to a bright coming home. A Lady Rancher is a rare breed. Born into the world with a legacy deep in her marrow, she has a spirit of survival branded into her soul. A rare gift handed down from one generation to the next.
