Book Description
During an expedition in Antarctica geologist Ben Brooks discovers by sheer coincidence a very strange small object. It's harder than diamond, and since it's lighter than air it floats around his lab. When searching government support for further research on this bizarre object it is confiscated, and a number of events start to happen. A famous NASA scientist disappears (murdered?) and Brooks and his assistant Sally have to go undercover with the object, hunted by a secret organization under the command of a grim US Army general. Brooks and Sally flee, but will they succeed to escape arrest by the FBI, the CIA, the US Army, the US Navy and the US Air Force when all of these armed forces join hands in the manhunt? And why poses such a small harmless object such a threat to the national security of the USA? Why does the US government commit third degree murder, burglary and larceny to take it away from them?

Pages : 412
Book Description
Vince Lefebvre, a man of the 16th century, never believed in Goblins or Ghouls. So when a stranger crosses his path he is none the wiser as they supernaturally manipulate his life. He would like to think that his decisions were his own but after meeting a very powerful vampire, and even more powerful witch, he is unsure. Which proves you dont have to believe in the supernatural to become one. Wilted, being the first of the Mother Earth chronicles, introduces you to a conglomeration of supernatural and mythological characters; leading you to the largest forced, paradigm shift the World has ever seen. You opened up the series with a colorful humor that put me right into the garden with Dacian. The style of writing you have is so simple, yet so complex. There is an underlying tone that creates a sense of urgency to keep my eyes on the pages. I can feel that there is more than meets the eye. Mindy Cole; Avid reader I think Wilted pulls at the readers heart strings as a deep love story. Then haunts the mind as one is mesmerized into the life of a family man/Vampire. So anxious to get the next book. Gloria Herring, Published Author, Austin TX

Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah

Pages : 1163
Book Description
Alfred Edersheim's 'Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah' is a comprehensive and scholarly examination of the life of Jesus Christ, providing a detailed account of the historical context in which Jesus lived and the events that shaped his ministry. Edersheim's work is known for its meticulous research, engaging narrative style, and extensive use of ancient sources, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the historical Jesus. The book delves into the religious, political, and social landscape of first-century Palestine, shedding light on the cultural milieu in which Jesus carried out his teachings and miracles. Edersheim's thorough exploration of the life of Jesus is not only informative but also deeply insightful, offering readers a deeper understanding of the person of Jesus and the significance of his mission. Alfred Edersheim, a respected biblical scholar and minister, was well-versed in Jewish history and culture, which greatly informed his writing. His background in theology and biblical studies enabled him to provide a nuanced and compelling portrayal of Jesus' life and times. I highly recommend 'Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah' to readers seeking a thoughtful and in-depth study of the historical Jesus, as Edersheim's work remains a classic in the field of biblical scholarship.
