Grateful for his unintended heroism, a pantheon of deities rewards him with a new existence. They transport him to the realm of Elrich, a land teeming with formidable beasts, malevolent demons, and endless possibilities for adventure. Yet, the process doesn't go smoothly; his divine guide, while well-meaning, is somewhat scatterbrained and botches his rebirth. Now, he must navigate a world brimming with peril and unpredictability. Elrich proves to be a far cry from the idyllic fantasies and romantic escapades he had envisioned. In a world where danger lurks at every turn, he's left to ponder if he can maintain his mental fortitude amidst constant threats to his life. This story has LGBTQ friendly themes. It touches on drug use, child molestation, rape, children committing murder, death sentencing as a form of punishment, and questioning one's sexual identity. There are some harsh themes, since this is meant to be a harsh world. Some themes touch upon the MC directly, the others happen to secondary characters. I try not to go into too graphic of detail and I believe that this story is 16+ friendly. I promise that these themes tie together in the end to make a cohesive whole and are used to provide back story for later developments.

A Guide for Life Is God for Life by James Thomas Lee Jr (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

In this book, eight brief scenarios about nine imaginary people will be presented. Even though the people will not have been modeled after anyone in particular, their intent will be to mirror what many people in this world consider the important issues of this life. The point that will be made with each scenario, however, is that every person, no matter what, will someday die. So if there is an afterlife and if that afterlife lasts forever, then rational, intelligent human beings to be rational and intelligent should be at least a little concerned about that life after death. While the topics of this book are serious, playful names have been used to describe the type of each person being discussed. For example, scenario one is about Abercrombie Gotitall. With a name like that, it should be obvious that he is very successful. Scenario two is about Barking Godislove. His main claim is that a loving God would never impose eternal condemnation on anyone. Scenario three is about Causing Imsogood. She believes that it is important to be a good person and to be involved in positive civic causes. Scenario four is about Doing Moregoodthanbad. Neither saint nor devil is what seems most important to him. Scenario five is about Eternity Doesnotexist. Eternity tends to rely on the smart people in the world to let her know the truth about the afterlife. Scenario six is about Foolish Religionisforothers.

666: Mark of the Beast by Will Clark (4 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours 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 ...

Billy, Eric & Adolf: One War, Two Brothers by Chris Whitfield (273 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

In January 1941 with the Liverpool Blitz at its height, twelve-year-old Billy Whitfield was evacuated to live on a farm without running water or electricity in the rural town of Bridgnorth, Shropshire, an event that was to shape him for the rest of his life. In the same year, his elder brother Eric volunteered to join the RAF, subsequently serving as a flight engineer in Bomber Command, the most dangerous of the Allied Services. Based on the true story of these two brothers and their contrasting experiences during the Second World War, Billy, Eric & Adolf is a tale of courage, innocence and love, a poignant, funny and moving account of ordinary lives impacted by extraordinary times. "The newspaper headline read more like a plot line from an episode of Dad's Army. 'Hitler wanted sleepy Bridgnorth to be Nazi HQ after the invasion of Britain.' I laughed out loud... surely not? Innocently searching the internet for wartime photographs of the Shropshire town, I had inadvertently uncovered one of life's unexpected ironies. The article, from the Daily Telegraph 21st April 2005, explained that newly discovered secret papers had revealed Bridgnorth as Adolf Hitler's preferred choice for the headquarters of Nazi GB after a successful invasion of the British mainland. The town's central location, the nearby RAF base, the fortification possibilities from its unusual 'town on a hill' geography, all contributed to earmark the place as ideal. The documents proved that German invasion plans were still up and running one year after the Luftwaffe's Battle of Britain setback. They were dated 1941, the same year that my dad was evacuated away from the dangers of the Liverpool Blitz... and yes, he was sent to Bridgnorth. The absurdity of the young, twelve-year-old Billy Whitfield escaping the bombings by relocating to the town Adolf had chosen to make his home from home appealed to my sense of fun. The idea for a book about my dad's wartime experiences arose from conversations ...

America 20XX: The New World Order by Will Clark (2 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours 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 5 hours 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's March 1950 in Central City and the teacher in question is John Franklin. He is also North High School's legendary basketball coach, and he has something in his past which if it ever got out, could mean he'd be trading his classroom and coach's office for a prison cell. There's nothing Franklin won't do to keep that from happening. When he learns that his ambitious young assistant found out about the "something" and may be planning to use it to force him out, Franklin contacts Mallory about investigating the matter. However, he won't tell him anything about his past transgression other than it was an "unpleasant incident." Undeterred, Mallory goes back to school where he majors in murder with minors in obsession, blackmail, narcissism, and dark secrets from the pasts of nearly everyone he meets. He finds himself dealing with such things as: a rumor going around that Franklin killed his first wife, a student-run gambling ring complete with point shaving and the involvement of adult bookies, the assistant's flirtatious wife who's very much a daddy's girl, her father who's also president of the school board, and Frankin's best player, a troubled kid with a hot-tempered father and a best friend who's only in school because of the terms of his probation. In short order, the school board president almost loses his head to a shotgun blast, and Franklin vanishes leaving the body of a lady of the evening in his house.

Where is paradise on earth? Somewhere far from the maddening crowds, the cold, the politics, work, of course. People have been searching for their paradise for centuries, even before taxation was invented. The stories of those who wrote about their exploits often reveal more about themselves than the nature of the paradises they sought and sometimes found. Did you know that Sir Walter Raleigh was the world's first pusher of paradise real estate? Or that among the explorers of tropical paradises, the infamous Captain Bligh of the Bounty was quite humane and considerate? Or that Captain James Cook was the first westerner to get a tropical, full body massage -- and was pretty coy about describing it? That the original Shangri-La paradise was a mix of ascetic monks on top of a Tibetan mountain and a tropical village of loose women at its foot? That Thor Heyerdahl and his first wife honeymooned for a whole year in a remote tropical paradise, leading to his Polynesian migration theory and the Kon Tiki expedition? Found, Lost, Paved and Sunk: Paradise explores the mind set of artists, beachcombers, colonial administrators, developers, explorers, hermits, missionaries, mutineers, philosophers, scientists and writers, not to mention the native residents who were already living in the paradises they sometimes describe. Learn about the mechanics and problems of living in a paradise, dealing with neighbors both onshore and offshore, housing, water, and health.

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.
