A.O. 13.0.0.0.0 - Bloodlines
Author: Steven Benedetti
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1425148654
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 557
Book Description
The Nazca were fearful of their new religious leader; so fearful, in fact, that Coetz went about his business with little consideration of his human followers. The few times that anyone dared speak up ended quickly with the death of everyone involved. Such are the stories of the Clerques; Ligon, Plantru, Coetz, Varin and Bolac. For almost 5,000 years they have lived on our planet, causing the destruction of many of our greatest civilizations, and the deaths of untold thousands. Now, in the 21st century, a new threat from these invaders has arisen, a threat that promises the extinction of mankind. The first installment of the A.O. 1.0.0.0.0.0 trilogy, Bloodlines introduces the reader to the Pentagram Nexus, a group of five humans brought together after almost five thousand years to confront the Clerques, a cadre of synthetic beings sent by the ruthless Imperium to prepare Earth and the human race for enslavement or extinction. With alternative explanations for past historical events, including Vlad Dracul, the Nazca of Peru, the Mayan civilization of southern Mexico and the Anasazzi of the U.S. Four Corners area, Bloodlines takes the reader from those ancient worlds to the present, where the Nexus, with the help of a band of otherworld rebels, prepares to confront the extermination of the human race; and, then into a darkly shrouded future when their success or failure will become all too evident on December 21, 2012, the day that, according to the Mayan calendar, time will end.

Book Description
One of the most violent countries on earth, where the cause of death is regularly 'massacre', drink drivers play chicken and kidnap stories pass for dinner party conversation; nine times more dangerous than the United States, Columbia is no place for the nervous traveller. So it is much against his better judgement that, in the summer of 1998, coinciding with a World Cup and a general election, journalist Stephen Smith finds himself boarding the Cocaine Train out of Cali, home of Columbia's infamous drugs cartel. Its passengers prey to theives, extortionists and a dozen different varieties of paramilitary, the Cocaine Train is one of the last remnants of a once great railway system, and Smith is riding in it in search of a grandfather he barely knew: Fred Leslie Frost, pioneering railwayman, upright citizen and diplomat, with a Columbian mistress and an illegitimate son. As remote from his suburban British origins as it is possible to imagine.

Sugar in the Blood
Author: Andrea Stuart
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 030796115X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
In the late 1630s, lured by the promise of the New World, Andrea Stuart’s earliest known maternal ancestor, George Ashby, set sail from England to settle in Barbados. He fell into the life of a sugar plantation owner by mere chance, but by the time he harvested his first crop, a revolution was fully under way: the farming of sugar cane, and the swiftly increasing demands for sugar worldwide, would not only lift George Ashby from abject poverty and shape the lives of his descendants, but it would also bind together ambitious white entrepreneurs and enslaved black workers in a strangling embrace. Stuart uses her own family story—from the seventeenth century through the present—as the pivot for this epic tale of migration, settlement, survival, slavery and the making of the Americas. As it grew, the sugar trade enriched Europe as never before, financing the Industrial Revolution and fuelling the Enlightenment. And, as well, it became the basis of many economies in South America, played an important part in the evolution of the United States as a world power and transformed the Caribbean into an archipelago of riches. But this sweet and hugely profitable trade—“white gold,” as it was known—had profoundly less palatable consequences in its precipitation of the enslavement of Africans to work the fields on the islands and, ultimately, throughout the American continents. Interspersing the tectonic shifts of colonial history with her family’s experience, Stuart explores the interconnected themes of settlement, sugar and slavery with extraordinary subtlety and sensitivity. In examining how these forces shaped her own family—its genealogy, intimate relationships, circumstances of birth, varying hues of skin—she illuminates how her family, among millions of others like it, in turn transformed the society in which they lived, and how that interchange continues to this day. Shifting between personal and global history, Stuart gives us a deepened understanding of the connections between continents, between black and white, between men and women, between the free and the enslaved. It is a story brought to life with riveting and unparalleled immediacy, a story of fundamental importance to the making of our world.
