Lemma 3 - MH370 Solution: Updated Edition with 2016 Second Anniverary Introduction - Africa Gambit Theory Stronger Than Ever by John T. Cullen (Clocktower Books) (1 Review)    Price verified 39 minutes ago

Lemma 3--originally proposed in 2014 to solve the mysterious vanishing of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370--remains stronger than ever as pieces of wing debris wash up east of Africa--precisely in line with the author's predictions in the original June 2014 edition of this book--except we now know the hijackers' mission failed. We need to study Lemma 3 to ensure no such hijack mission ever succeeds because its aim was to drop the weaponized plane as a dirty and destructive bomb on a major target in Europe, Israel, or the Mediterranean Sea. This book is a second anniversary update on the theory advanced by John T. Cullen after the aircraft's baffling and as yet unsolved vanishing on 8 March 2014 (two years ago). This edition contains a new Introduction, plus the full text of the June 2014 first edition. It is vitally important to keep all options on the table--which authorities have not done, choosing to continue a singular and so far ineffectual search off the shore of western Australia--to prevent a hair-raising plan like Lemma 3 from ever succeeding. Because--guaranteed--the people who likely hijacked MH370 will try again. The author examined all the known data points of March 2014 and formulated a theory that has stood the test of time--a logical construct that responsibly keeps all options on the table. These fall into three major logical legs or lemmas (sub-theorems): --Lemma 1: natural disaster (no human cause). Includes mechanical failure. Less likely for various reasons, including: the plane flew on for at least six hours without any automated or human distress signal. --Lemma 2: impulsive, destructive human act without a longer-term plan (e.g., pilot, crew, or passenger suicide). Less likely for various reasons. Expected outcome would have been instant descent and crash, as in the pilot suicide on Germanwings Flight 9525 in the Alps on 24 March 2015, and similar instances. --Lemma 3: hijack for a sinister purpose, which is the author's ...

The Blue Church: Or: The Only Home a Ghost Ever Had (The Pleasant Valley Novellas and The Silent Struggle Between Horror and Humor) by John McGinnis (2 Reviews)    Price verified 47 minutes ago

Some say the El Dorado is haunted. I doubt that. Ghosts are not real. Hotels are not alive. They don't have memories. The El Dorado is just a dwelling of brick, wood and glass. In that sense, it is just like every other hotel in the world. It's just uglier. That doesn't mean it's haunted. The only home a ghost ever had, was in somebody's head. "There is a rational scientific explanation for everything and there are neither ghosts nor gods." That's what mom taught me, and I believe her. I know that there are many who disagree. Some even claim to have seen a ghost. I will not call them all liars. I do not doubt that many alleged hauntings are reported by those who truly believed themselves to be witnesses of the paranormal. Sometimes our eyes, ears and minds can deceive us. When this deception occurs it can be quite convincing. I should know, it happened to me. Without going into too much detail, I thought I saw a ghost myself when I was five. She was a little girl about my age dressed in white. This ghost looked just like a normal living being with one exception. Her mouth was missing. In its place was a gaping dark cavity. Upon looking directly into the brown eyes of this apparition. I heard her voice speak to me, inside my head. This voice spoke, "Children are better seen and not heard." I screamed and wet myself. My mother flew to me like a phantom. For the life of me I could not explain why I screamed, and I could not explain to mother why I had wet myself. Fear of the little girl without a mouth tightened my vocal cords. Fear of my mother froze my lips into silence. The smell of my urine burned the inside of my nostrils. A wooden spoon burned my ass. My encounter was nothing but a hallucination. It occurred during the night following my first day of kindergarten. My first day of school did not go so well. Even though I was afraid of my mother at that age, I was terrified at having to leave her side to spend the day among strangers. That one day in my life ...

Are You Positive? by Stephen Davis (L&G Productions LLC) (120 Reviews)    Price verified 5 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.

Tightrope (Trelawney Book 3) by Antony Melville-Ross (Lume Books) (83 Reviews)    Price verified 16 minutes ago

In Antony Melville-Ross's third book, Trelawney is back with a vengeance - and what a vengeance. Antony Melville-Ross's first spy novel Blindfold was warmly greeted - and compared to the works of Ian Fleming - by some of the most discriminating judges, and his second, Two Faces of Nemesis, consolidated this reputation. In Tightrope, which is perhaps his most brilliant performance, Trelawney and his bewitching partner Jane Trask are at the forefront of the action, which takes place in England and the United States. What makes this book something quite extraordinary in spy fiction is its accurate reflection of the chaos and irrationality of the world, that is so often reflected in news reports - the world of hostages and terrorism, of mindless destruction and cruelty. Although it is set against a Cold War backdrop, modern readers will find much in this story that is familiar. Skilfully plotted and vigorously written, Tightrope is a superior spy thriller that will please readers who enjoy the work of Fleming, Deighton, Le Carré and Tom Clancy. Praise for Tightrope: 'Melville-Ross has dry-docked his submarines and entered the unpleasant and unseen world of the English "spooks". In doing so he has lost none of his finely crafted characterisations, engaging dialogue and lively storytelling. As the title suggests, it is a taut, engaging and sadly, probably quite realistic in its portrayal of those involved' - Amazon review Antony Melville-Ross (1920-1993) won the DSC while serving in submarines during World War II, and became involved in Intelligence activities after the war. Subsequently he worked as an oil company executive in the Middle East, New York and South America. He also wrote six novels, of which Blindfold was the first.

World War S: The Silence Begins (World War Spiritual Book 1) by Stephen Paul Thomas (Articity Publishing) (81 Reviews)    Price verified 16 minutes ago

The world stands on the brink of another worldwide economic and social crisis. People look for understanding through occult practices, so that mediums and fortunetellers have become wildly successful in helping them escape reality. There are no more churches, and established religion is a thing of the past. Christians must now gather in secret. In this fragile era emerges Josh Heartley, a young boy with astounding prophetic abilities. Though Josh had a heart transplant in his early years, it doesn't slow him down. He is a light for everyone around him, and he can often tell future events with supernatural clarity. During an accident, Josh has a Near Death Experience and finds himself in the middle of a spiritual battle that goes back more than two thousand years. Dr Julie Bond, conducting a research study involving Josh, hopes to unlock the secret behind NDEs and their ties to the human soul. She soon suspects the key lies within this very special boy. Stephen Paul Thomas's thrilling novel is based on shocking real-world events of a thousand-years-long demonic occupation told through exciting storylines, unexpected twists, and many historical examples. If you read Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness, you will find this more eyeopening and shocking... all who would like to know more about the unseen battle must read this series! "Thomas (Cluster, 2015) deftly paints a world in which Christians have been backed into a corner by the belief systems of other cultures -- like that of Linda's ancestral village in Central America -- and by demons. These demons, including Karnelo, the "lust-addict spirit," have been possessing people for hundreds of years, using human tools to instigate everything from the Inquisition to organized pedophilia. Thomas' prose presents the complex story evocatively, as in the line "Linda's chest rhythmically lifted and sank, like water in the mighty ocean, which kept its secrets in the dark deep." - Kirkus Review

A Knock at the Door: Who is she? Who was she? by Peter Rowlands (233 Reviews)    Price verified 7 minutes ago

A brain-teasing mystery that grabs you right from the start - and then delivers A bedraggled woman turns up on Rory Cavenham's doorstep in the middle of a storm, convinced that the year is 1972, but claiming to have lost her memory. Despite his own troubled past, Rory is drawn to her; but she's fearful of authority and frightened of mysterious pursuers, and insists on keeping a low profile as she adjusts to modern life. Determined to help her, Rory finds links to two strong but compromised women, but the truth behind their interlocking stories remains elusive. Meanwhile, the pursuers turn out to be all too real, and the pace builds as the story lunges towards its remarkable and redemptive climax. Fast-moving and engrossing, A Knock at the Door defies easy categorisation. It is part mystery thriller, part detective story, and part romance. It even hovers on the edge of science fiction, though it always keeps both feet firmly on the ground. One beta reader reports "snatching at the pages" to find an explanation for the brain-teasing paradox at the heart of the novel: who is the woman, and how can she be the person she appears to be? Readers who have enjoyed Peter Rowlands' popular Mike Stanhope mysteries will be fascinated by this complex and intriguing tale. Like them, it is distinguished by vibrant characters and sparkling dialogue, but it also introduces some beguiling new ingredients that add extra edge to the mix. Plaudits for Peter Rowlands' mystery novels: "Different, colourful, imaginative and infectious. He draws you into a world where you're never quite sure what's happening or how it will end." "I've devoured his books with increasing respect... " "Rowlands' plots are unique, and as detailed and intricate as you will find anywhere... " "It really makes a difference when an author knows how to tell a story... I just went along for the ride, and it was a good one."

THE TRIAL OF MILTIADES by Francis Mace (3 Reviews)    Price verified 16 minutes ago

Of Miltiades' trial, it is too early to assess the repercussions. On his return to Athens (Spring 493 BCE), he has been prosecuted on a charge of tyranny in the Chersonese (Gallipoli), an Athenian colony. This book includes the two main speeches (the one for the prosecution deriving from Elpinike's memory, while her father's speech she easily includes as a document in her possession). There's a kind of Tom and Viv (or Perikles-Aspasia) scenario, Elpinike having worked with her father on his speech. As Miltiades faces the possibility of ruin both for himself and his family, the psychological pressures upon Athens herself are intensifying. She must lose her identity forever, or accept the inevitability of war with imperial Persia. Note: This edition is at first mainly concerned with the viewpoint of Elpinike. Those wanting to get quickly to the essential theme of the book, the trial itself, may prefer the later edition.

In her most personal case yet, Harriet Martens finds herself in grave danger from a deft and cunning poisoner. Relaxing with her husband by the pool one hot August Bank Holiday, Harriet doesn't expect the refreshing glass at her side to conceal a deadly drug. When she awakes from a doze, she is no longer by the water, but in a hospital bed recovering from a near-fatal dose of aconitine. As Harriet makes a slow recovery, she tries to come to terms with the fact that someone wanted to kill her. But no sooner has she mustered enough energy to begin finding the person responsible, than the poisoner strikes again. And this time, he's successful... A Detective at Death's Door is the fifth book in HRF Keating's popular Harriet Martens/Hard Detective series but works well as a stand-alone novel. It's a great choice for fans of 'golden age' British crime novels. Praise for A Detective at Death's Door: 'This is a really enjoyable series, and this was probably my favourite of the ones I've read so far. As I've mentioned about the other books, one of the great features in how it's written is the contrast between the third person perspective of the 'tough' ?Hard Detective' Harriet Martens contrasted with her inner thoughts. It lends such depth to her character & also shows her vulnerability. These books are quite Agatha Christie-ish in tone, though still very modern.' - Goodreads review Henry Reymond Fitzwalter Keating (1926-2011) was an English author known primarily for his crime fiction, although he also wrote several non-crime novels and reference books, and spent many years as critic of crime fiction for The Times.
