The Siege of Masada: A Historical Drama of the Famous Battle Between the Jews and Romans by Charles River Editors (166 Reviews)    Price verified 42 minutes 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 ...

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) (70 Reviews)    Price verified 4 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.

Lya I run. It's just who I am. Whenever things get tough, I bail. Every new situation I find myself in, I have an exit strategy. Because I know what could happen if I don't. Things are about to get bad, and I don't understand how or why. I'm in a new place, with no pre-existing connections. I've developed a life for myself where no one could suspect a thing out of the ordinary. I fit in - or at least try to. But here I am, ready to run. Let's just hope I do so in time. *** Oliver I didn't ask to be in these shoes. In fact, I was thoroughly looking forward to a life of little more than personal responsibility. I never saw my future tied to this place, no matter how much it is a part of me. The responsibility was thrust upon me, and with no one else left to step up, I had no choice. These are my people - my family - and this is my home. I couldn't turn my back, even if I wanted to. That's a type of betrayal I would never be able to stomach. Any semblance of my plans years ago have fallen by the wayside, but that's just the nature of the beast - and I am the beast. Times are changing. I can feel it in my bones. I just hope we are ready, and I am capable of protecting those that are relying on me.

THE KATERINA ICON by Robert Mitchell (31 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Two young Australians, following the Volga River on the small cruise ship Maxim Gorky, rescue an old man drowning in its icy waters. In gratitude he gives them an early 20th Century icon which he swears contains a code giving directions to the hiding place of priceless icons looted from the imperial palace in Saint Petersburg, during the early years of the Russian Revolution, icons which were secreted somewhere within the monastery at Goritsy, a monastery they had passed not long after they had dragged the old man from the river. The lock of one of their suitcases is found to be broken when they arrive back in Australia. Nothing has been stolen. The icon does not seem to have been touched and they mistakenly pass it off as having been done by Customs somewhere within Russia. It is not until the icon is accidentally knocked from a table and pieces fly off that the secret is revealed. The old Cossack was right. There was a secret within the icon. And, foolishly, one of them writes to the old man telling him what they have found, forgetting that the old Russian does not live alone. The decision is made to travel to Russia in the middle of winter and break into the Monastery, into the place where the icons were concealed over a hundred years ago, knowing there is a risk that they might already have been found, but not even thinking that there might be others waiting for them, others who desire the Katerina Triptych, the favourite icon of Catherine the Great, an icon which would be worth millions. It is freezing as they crunch across the frozen lake towards the white walls of the monastery, peering through the misty darkness, searching for the square tower and then the square building described in the sheets of paper taken from the icon. And at last their attention is focussed on the high embrasure through which the old Cossack's grandfather was lifted into the monastery, taking the icons with him. They don't see the two figures far back on the lake, hidden by the mist. ...

Lexi climbed onto a short platform supplied by Herr Henkell before she announced, "Welcome to the incredible Roman arcade hole. It is 495 yards long and a par 5. The fairway is a Roman aqueduct that spans a canyon. The tee is a platform one thousand feet above the deep valley." Dixie climbed up too and then she proclaimed loud and strong, "The players must strike with a downward angle so that the ball enters the giant stone trough. Be careful that it does not bounce out. It is impossible to play the hole in the valley below the four tier aqueduct. I have it on good report that the valley floor is inhabited by carnivorous reptiles." Hage stood shoulder to shoulder with his partner as he said, "Only a bunch of numbskull Nazis would import killer crocodiles as a hazard for their own golf course."

A smart woman would steer well clear, but I've decided to head right for the pretty blue eyes of the storm. I find him one night half-naked in an alleyway (long story) short on pants but definitely not short on something else. Helping a stranger in need is one thing, but dating a Vulcan is quite another. He lives on a knife's edge. Me? I've got... complications (even longer story). It's a solid no-go. Absolutely not. Still, there's a flicker of desire that's working itself between my legs that seems damn near unstoppable if I let it burn unattended. But a guy who looks good in a skirt (yep, another story) and smells like a bottle of Jameson? I have an inkling, a little tingle that tells me it would be a bad, no good, terrible kind of idea. Because getting into his pants is one thing. But getting into his head is quite another. Full of steam, suspense (and a naughty surprise or two), get ready for the wildest Vulcan yet.

Unique, thought provoking and eminently readable." - GoodreadsSitting alone in his truck, Richard Feynman watches the Trinity Test fail. A year later, months after the celebrations that follow the end of World War Two, Lottie Boyd drifts alone on the Atlantic with a sniper rifle over her lap, one of the few to have escaped the Silent Zones.The fear that a large scale nuclear event would kick off a chain reaction of much more stable elements going into a fisson-state, burning the planet away, was real in the formative years of atomic testing. In Feynman and Boyd, the reverse occurs. The Trinity test fails due to a previously unidentified counter-reaction, where something in the natural world snuffs out combustion. The dusty by-product of this reaction, nicknamed "Deaden," is found to stabilize any combustible form, rendering weapons useless. The Manhattan Project quickly becomes a facility for creating Deaden. It is this anti-weapon that wins World War II. Within weeks of discovering Deaden, and using controlled reactions to manufacture it, it's then discovered that Deaden eventually also stops cellular combustion, killing every surrounding living thing.

Flesh Machine: The Story by Stjepan Krešimir Kračun (1 Review)    Price verified 9 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. ...

millennYELL: diatribes of self-discovery by Bryan Wright (Historia|Research Press) (2 Reviews)    Price verified 9 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.
