Prose Comics, Volume Two: A Conservative Comic Book Company, Just Without the Drawings by Shmuel Breban Price verified one minute ago

Hello, and welcome to Prose Comics! Have comics gotten just a tad too liberal for you? Then you've come to the right place. Okay, you might be in the right place. See, there are no drawings in this thing. No, wait. Please don't leave. Thanks for sticking around. This volume is filled with the types of titles and characters that could be in a comic book universe, you just don't have to pay four bucks for ten minutes of reading, and you won't have liberal propaganda shoved down your throat. You will have conservative propaganda shoved down your throat. Just kidding. Sorta. Prose Comics does lean right, but many of our stories are not all that political. Some are, others are not. And all of the stories are clean, but some are mildly offensive. Anyway, the point is that you won't have to deal with hippie nonsense. Okay. Here's what's in Volume Two: WHATEVER-MAN, WORLD'S LAZIEST SUPERHERO Wade Emerson is fifteen years old, and like his father All Star, he's practically invulnerable, but he's also the laziest superpowered individual in the entire world.

THE KATERINA ICON by Robert Mitchell (31 Reviews)    Price verified 3 minutes 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. ...

His Southern Comfort (Firefly Island: Southern Comfort Book 1) by Melanie Shawn (1,612 Review)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Billy "Panty Dropper" Comfort That's what people call me... Growing up with the last name Comfort meant that I'd inherited a legacy. In our small town, the older generation of Comfort men were known for three things: hard work, boozing, and tragedy. Some believed the latter was due to a curse that doomed every male in our bloodline to lose his true love tragically. I was of the mind that our fates were in our own hands. With my father's passing, my brothers and I were the new generation of Comfort men. We were also known for three things: fighting, flirting, and another F word that I'd never use in mixed company. My oldest brother was the fighter, my baby brother was the flirt, and that left me. I'd earned the nickname Panty Dropper by the time I was legally allowed to drink. It never bothered me much, until the day I laid eyes on a woman that made me want to be a better man. The only question was, would she see the real me, or would my past and the curse be too much... even for fate? Reagan "Runaway Bride" York That's what people were calling me... Growing up with a single mom who cared more about her next boyfriend than things like paying the electric bill, I was determined to create a stable, respectable life for myself as an adult. And that's exactly what I'd thought I'd done. I shared a condo overlooking Central Park with my fiancé, who was on the fast track to making partner at the law firm where we were both associates. And which just happened to be owned by his father. Cut to me walking in on the man I was going to marry, just weeks before our wedding, with his briefs--and I'm not talking about the legal kind--down around his ankles. Oh, and did I mention the pricey penthouse we shared was a gift from his parents? Talk about putting all my eggs in the wrong basket. In the blink of an eye, I found myself homeless, jobless, and ringless. My "fresh start" landed me in a small town, where the nights are hot and the men are hotter. Soon, I found my ...

The Wolf: South Carolina Disciples Series (Book 1) (SOUTH CAROLINA DISCIPLES SERIES (Marriage of Convenience Christian Romance)) by Bohemia Lacey (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

I am Willow. I am 28 years old. I have two beautiful children. My precious baby lambs, who I would die for. But I am also, unfortunately, prey. I don't mean to be prey. No one in their right mind would sign up for such a thing. I simply am. I carry it as a scent. Secrete it as skin and saturate my folicles in it. Maybe it's the subtle hints of fear. Maybe my vulnerability carries intoxicating notes I'm not aware of. Or maybe it's the musk of overwhelming guilt that burns even my own nostrils. Whatever it is, I watch it ride along the tail-end of a breeze and snag only predatory noses. Noses that sniff me out and give chase. Noses that force me to run, to hide, only to inevitably be caught. But I am not normal prey. And my Shepherd is not a normal herder. When I call to Him in my darkest hour, watching sharp teeth carrying my precious lambs off captive, He answers with a predator of his own: A yellow-eyed wolf named Isaiah. He offers me one year of marriage. One year of his own sharp teeth for me to hide behind and use at will. And in that one year's time, he will get my children back for me. But what happens when I want him, too? What if, this time, I choose to be prey? Want to be trapped, encircled, caught? His teeth, his claws, embedded in me forever? And what if that is the only thing he cannot give me? Join our precious doe, Willow, and her tenacious wolf, Isaiah, as they overcome mountainous obstacles through faith, love and personal growth. Whether predator or prey, the hunter or the hunted, in God's hands, we are powerful weapons for good.

Undiscovered America: unknown natural wonders and potential national parks by Zack/Cora Frank (53 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

The 54 landscapes featured in this book that fall into two categories. 1) Areas that are virtually unknown but deserve greater appreciation and awareness. 2) Well-known landscapes that are surprisingly not national parks, but people often assume they are. All of these natural wonders deserve greater protection and to be considered alongside the best natural icons the country has to offer. If you asked the average American to name a landscape that defines our national identity, they would most likely respond by saying Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, the Great Smoky Mountains, or the Everglades. What they might not know is that each of these places is a national park. Our national parks celebrate some of the most exemplary natural landscapes on the planet, boasting a diversity of ecosystems, wildlife, and geology that helped make this country the foundation of the conservation movement. Nowhere else on Earth is there a confluence of deserts, mountains, plains, hills, forests, coastlines, lakes, canyons, islands, and wetlands that still accurately reflect the pristine state of the land before human intervention. Throughout my travels, I have come across places that are just as incredible and unique as the famous national parks, but are comparatively unknown. I wondered, "Why are only some of America's environments so well-known, while other places that are equally amazing, are not?" A few years ago, this discrepancy set me off on a mission to find out why many of the greatest natural wonders in America are not protected and valued in the same way This book seeks to reconcile these potential national parks, which are missing from our national consciousness. The primary goal of my 'Undiscovered America' project is to document the lesser-known natural wonders across the United States. The secondary goal is to provide a better understanding of federal land designations. The current levels of protection for many of the landscapes detailed within this book leave ...

Are You Positive? by Stephen Davis (L&G Productions LLC) (120 Reviews)    Price verified 7 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.

The Alexiad by Anna Komnene (86 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Anna Komnene's 'The Alexiad' is a remarkable historical and biographical account that chronicles the life and reign of her father, Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, in 12th century Byzantium. Written in a classical literary style, Komnene's work offers valuable insights into the political intrigue, military campaigns, and cultural developments of the time.

Through detailed descriptions and engaging narratives, Komnene paints a vivid picture of the Byzantine court and society, making the book a significant contribution to medieval literature. As the daughter of Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, Anna Komnene had a unique perspective on the events of her time, which inspired her to write The Alexiad. Her intimate knowledge of court politics and military affairs enabled her to craft a nuanced and insightful portrayal of her father's reign. Komnene's scholarly background and literary talent shine through in the meticulous research and eloquent prose found in her work. I highly recommend 'The Alexiad' to readers interested in Byzantine history, medieval literature, and women's contributions to the historical record.

Liverpool to Kirkby Fields: A glimpse at life in a 1950-60s overspill town. by Kate Higgins (36 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

A tale of a personal account of a childhood spent in Kirkby, the first of the Liverpool overspill towns to develop - the story takes me back over 35 years to when my dad was employed during the second world war as a civil servant at the Royal Ordnance factory. With a population of around 3,000 made up mainly of farming people, the pretty little town was just a few years later to be developed into the new town with population figures reaching 50,000 at its peak. As I walk through Kirkby Park estate, 35 years since I left Kirkby, I recall the people, the events, Liverpool's working life and social life, and the humour which together made me and my seven brothers and sisters who we are today. I note the changes we lived through, the days when our telephone was the one in the red box on the corner of the road; our first television set; to today's technological world; scenes through the years of family life, school days where the remnants of Victoriana ran parallel with Beatlemania in the "Swinging Sixties", and of how mum and dad, quite amazingly, managed to take all ten of us on holiday each year.I recall local ghost stories told to me over the years and although my lifelong interest in the supernatural never produced any ghosts, I do relate what happened the moment I was told my mum had died, fifteen years after dad had also died, which led me to believe that he was there for her that day. We were inspired by mum and dad, with their legacy of love, selflessness, work ethics and honesty, and last but never to be forgotten, the ability to see the funny side.

"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

Destiny Interrupted by Cynthia Woods (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

"I have a suspicion, but before I share, I'd like you to go back. Walk me through it from the beginning. How did all of this start?" "If I tell you, there's no going back. Are you sure you want to hear this?" "I'm certain!" Jeff reassuringly squeezed her hand. "All right then. Let me properly introduce myself. My name is Carletta Maria Ammetto from Progress, Pennsylvania. Everybody calls me Carli. In fact, very few people know my given name." "The name is almost as beautiful as the woman who wears it." A weight lifted from Carli's shoulders as she heard the sound of her own name for the first time in eighteen months. She dared to hope that this time, unlike the last seven relocations, might be different. Perhaps, if she tried hard enough and avoided known pitfalls, she'd finally win her freedom and begin a normal life. Despite being torn between accepting Jeff's help and placing a target on his back, Carli finally held a true reason for enduring the relentless nightmare she'd stumbled into during her last blind date. The only question left unanswered was whether she'd live to enjoy the life she'd fought so long and so hard to keep. Discovering Marcell Raccani on the doorstep of her new apartment greatly diminished her chances.

Behind the Forgotten Front: A WWII Novel by Barbara Hawkins (195 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

75 years after WWII headlines of Pearl Harbor, Normandy and Hiroshima hit the press, the China-Burma-India Theater was brought to light in Behind the Forgotten Front. It's 1942, and Harry Flynn leaves behind the love of his life to journey into East Asia, a world of tigers, elephants, and the Himalayan Mountains. He enlists to fight, expecting to find the thrill of danger and honor of military service. Instead, Harry is ordered to the Forgotten Front in the Indian subcontinent as an ordinary supply officer. There, General Joseph 'Vinegar Joe' Stilwell is constructing a 'road to nowhere' through Japanese-occupied Burma -- and he's willing to complete it at any cost. In an exotic world with Naga headhunters, opium-smoking Kachin tribesmen, and marauders who scorn both life and death, Harry must entrust his life to others if he is to survive the war. During a time when boys are forced to come of age on the battlefield, and where death and insanity seem to be the only ways out, Harry must find what makes his life worth living. The lessons learned in WWII apply to all wars where men walk away carrying unspeakable memories about the lives that could have been. Behind the Forgotten Front takes you to the overlooked battles in the China-Burma-India Theater of World War II and shows you that history is about facts driven by the passions and sometimes the mistakes of real people.

Absent father, absent-minded lover, unskilled and untrustworthy. None of them do his uselessness justice. So there are no expectations other than failure when he joins the mid-21st Century's equivalent of The Gold Rush - a race to get-rich-quick through plundering the dazzling fortunes offered by an asteroid brimming with diamond deposits. Remnant provides the brawn in a dubiously talented and totally incompatible crew of three aboard a ship that's not expected to make it higher than the treetops. Can he overcome his underdog status? And can he beat the mighty NASA to the asteroid belt and return home with a life-changing cut of the loot? Lymon's debut novel is an outlandish adventure that mashes the thriller and sci-fi genres into a pulp of highly entertaining, uniquely-told far, far, fetched fiction that'll leave you believing that even way below average heroes deserve to have their story told. PRAISE FOR THE DIAMOND RUSH: "A well crafted tale of the underdog." "OK, here's the thing that's amazing about this book. There are several instances of what? That's not possible.

A Knock at the Door: Who is she? Who was she? by Peter Rowlands (233 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours 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 Year of Eric's Hat by Peter Sykes (2 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Meet Eric. Eric is a teenager. He has a disability and struggles with walking and speaking. But Eric has a very special gift. And a hat. Unbeknownst to his schoolmates and even to his family, Eric is both savant and sage. But Eric is better known for his crutches, awkward speech and his battered green top hat. His premature wisdom and burgeoning writing talent finally get showcased in his increasingly popular but anonymously-written column in the school gazette. Eric's simple musings on secular ethics and how to be happy are aimed at his fellow adolescents who, like Eric, are struggling with the universal challenges of impending adulthood and caught in the grips of a drug-fuelled gang war and a rapidly-escalating arms race. Try as he may, hat or no hat, Eric's journalistic efforts will not be enough to arrest the build-up of animosity nor halt another tragic school shooting. Only the untimely and violent deaths of two students will have the power to reunite a fractured academy and its supporting communities. Only then will Eric's enlightened suggestions be truly heeded: and his hat properly appreciated. A gripping and highly accessible work of contemporary inspirational fiction, 'The Year of Eric's Hat' combines a page-turning narrative with some age-old and practical guidance - on how we can all meet head-on the myriad of adult human problems without losing touch with our more childlike, better and happier selves.
