The Temple of Solomon

Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 1608441067
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
In 70AD the epicenter of Judaism, the Beit HaMikdash, was destroyed by Rome. Devout Jews have prayed daily for the rebuilding of the Temple for the past two thousand years. Now a dedicated group of Jews and Christians have formed a syndicate determined to fulfill that prayer at any cost. America and the World have suffered through a seemingly endless barrage of terrorist attacks. The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations has ordered a situational assessment from every agent in his command. Of the thousands of reports generated, one was proven eerily prophetic. It was written by Aaron Hussein, a young FBI agent in South Carolina. Overnight, Aaron is plucked from obscurity and elevated to the FBI's elite Counter Terrorism Unit where his insight can be put to good use. He will be tested to his limits as he takes on the syndicate. Mr. Bird grew up in a small town in Northern Alabama. Hubert left home at an early age to see the world, (compliments of Uncle Sam), and has never returned. He has resided in South Carolina for the past twenty years, but still considers Florence Alabama home. Mr. Bird has loved books and reading his entire life. He has also always had a penchant for telling a good story, a fact that his parents did not fully appreciate when he was a child. In his first attempt at putting one of his stories on paper, he has scored a hit. Fact is blended seamlessly with fiction to create non-stop action throughout, never leaving the reader with a dull moment. A reader of an early manuscript stated. When I noticed that I was three quarters of the way through, I had to force myself to slow down; I didn t want it to end. Mr. Bird s next book tentatively named The Way of the Cross, is currently in the works."

Publisher: Robinson
ISBN: 1780338007
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
Despite our tendency to think of the demonic as evil and the angelic as good, our own legends don't always bear this out. Angels can be the incarnation of light and salvation, but they can also fall - Satan himself is a fallen angel. Demons can be truly demonic, but these unearthly creatures can also, on occasion, lend humankind a hand. Temptation can lead to revelation, supernatural messengers who bring true justice may not be welcomed, and beings seeking redemption can be blind to mortal needs. Stories from world-renowned authors of science fiction and fantasy - including Neil Gaiman, George R. R. Martin and Joyce Carol Oates - and rising stars portray angels in all their glory, demons at their most dreadful, and a surprising variety of modern interpretations of ancient myth.
