Reborn for Adventure: A LitRPG Isekai by Brandi Mc Clure (2 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

In an unfortunate twist, a college student meets his end, inadvertently playing a key role in saving the planet. 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.

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.

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 ...

The History of Eternity by James E. Winder (7 Reviews)    Price verified 4 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.

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.

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.

And then during the Second World War as an army cook, he was exposed to the terrors of Dunkirk, subjected to chemical experiments at Porton Down, and forced to witness the horrors of the liberated Buchenwald Concentration Camp in Germany. Based on a true story, The Kaiser, Führer & John is a humbling, remarkable account of stoicism, fortitude, and courage, a tale of two wars told through the eyes of an otherwise ordinary man and his family back home in Liverpool.

Trauma Bonds: a novel of suspense by Katherine Carlson (4 Reviews)    Price verified 17 hours ago

Lizbeth Shannon must escape Skid Row and stall her descent into madness. But not before severing the trauma bonds shackling her to an early grave. In the fall of 2005, devils chased Liz Shannon across nightmarish acres and deep into the bowels of hell. Not actual devils, only personal demons. And hell meant the seediest underbelly of L.A., where she walked among clever predators and outright ghouls. Discarded and homeless after her girlfriend, Dell -- a hospice nurse -- finally grew a spine and tossed the "energy vampire" out the door and smack into the jaws of the street wolves. But Lizbeth isn't really a vampire. Forget the pale skin, sharp bite, and a life spent roaming through the gloaming hours. Depraved conditions fell upon her early, as they do to many who end up deformed by circumstance. And yet, an inexplicable bond remains between the two women -- an otherworldly connection -- a cord that cannot be severed, no matter the fraying threads. Still, Dell can't root through the ugly places or prevent her love from hitting bottom. Only Liz can battle the fiends and avoid the abyss. First, she must dig her inner child from the ruins. But the weight of history hovers, like the sword of Damocles, eager to generate more debris -- and crush them both to smithereens. ***This book, previously published as Dig Up Through Within, deals with mature themes of trauma and abuse. "Masterfully written." ~ J. Adams

EMBRACED - In Syria with Love by Heini Grünbaum (5 Reviews)    Price verified 17 hours ago

In the summer of 1989 I went to visit my dear friend Ahmed in Syria. This is his story and the stories of so many other people I met... ... and then we move fast forward to present time. Today, the 26th of August 2016 - "Updates and Thoughts on my book about Syria": In 1990 I began writing my book about my personal experiences in Syria. I was still a very young man and memories from my time in Syria were crystal clear and still dripping from the excitement. After about 60 pages I ran out of steam and it wasn't until 20 years that I decided to finish my book with all of its unusual stories. During the writing process the uprising in Syria began March 2011. I was conflicted by it and tried a few times to draw some parallels from the new escalating conflict to the stories in my book. But I soon realized that my book about Syria, which is very personal and at times extreme, had to be a periodic piece, an image of the moment with absolutely no references to the future or present times... But what my book does bring to readers who are more interested in the current events rather than the past, is an exclusive insight into the Syrian Arab mentality. A chance to understand why people in this region of the world are particularly addicted to vengeance and brutal violence, and why, perhaps, they have such a short sighted understanding of their own future. Though my book is a patchwork of imperfections and seemingly trifling details, it reflects, now more than ever, upon the clashes between civilizations. Those captured by modern technology and the process of evolution, embracing it as it is. And those who take the new comforts for granted, but insist to continue living in the shadows of the Middle Ages. EMBRACED - In Syria with Love Heini Grünbaum

River should be Popularity's poster child: he's on the football team, and he lives in a mansion. The students of Covenant High, though, keep score of his anger issues, and treat him like an outsider. Except Brielle, who falls in love quickly with him. But when young love fades, a betrayal leads to tragedy and New Hannah Cove becomes a monster's playground. An obsessed father bent on revenge targets the girls who bullied his son. He stalks them, learns their greatest fears, constructs a soundproofed shack, and kidnaps them one by one. He calls the shack "The Radical Redress," a place where wrongs can be made right. He customizes their torture to their specific fears. There's Brielle, who fears being lost. Sierra, the star pole vaulter and the only Black person in her family, fears dying at the hands of a racist police officer. Willow, the school journalist, questions whether River was truly bullied, and believes beauty brings acceptance. Eden, who is top in the class, dreams of becoming a scientist, but fears the dark. Her dad is a felon, and her family is made up of Pretenders. There's also Sage. Unconnected to the tragedy at Covenant High, she already knows abuse: her fear is water. When the girls realize they're not alone, they hatch a daring escape plan. Some are disfigured, some are homeless, and some are angry. In a town where no one suspects your kidnapper, they have to fight for their own survival. Not all of them come home. From the author of "Dance for Me," "River's Rowan" examines themes of abuse, racism and what determines who is a bully and who is a victim.

The Limits of Love by Frederic Raphael (15 Reviews)    Price verified 17 hours ago

'He belongs to that small pantheon of writers who emerged in the 1950s and 60s who were not afraid to highlight anti-semitism in post-war Britain' - Jewish Chronicle Otto Kahane, a survivor of Dachau, arrives in North London to stay with his only living relatives, the Adler family. Isidore runs a delicatessen in Cricklewood, his wife Hannah was born in East London, her family having emigrated from Poland before the war. They have prospered, and moved from above the shop in Cricklewood to neighbouring Golders Green. Their daughter Susan marries Ben, a communist party member, and they become part of the young leftist movement that became dominant in Britain after the war. Stolid Colin, her brother, rejects his Jewish heritage, moving with his wife Tessa to Wimbledon. He is an architect, employed in the great house building project of the new Labour government. Youngest sibling Julia looks to a future at university. She is part of the new generation, where ethnic roots are unimportant. Still, she chooses reluctant Jewish boy Paul as her boyfriend. Moving away from the privileged territory of his hit novel and TV series The Glittering Prizes, accomplished novelist and screenwriter Frederic Raphael explores conflicts of Jewish identity in post-war London. He identifies a particularly British discomfort, embarrassment even, about the trauma of the Holocaust. With his screenwriter's ear for the nuance of dialogue he follows his characters with brilliance, sympathy and humour. As a picture of life immediately after the war this is a fascinating novel, and unique in its portrait of a Jewish community during that era.
