Book Description
"Cleansing Fire is a novel of history and theology written by Peter B. Kelly, JD. The book is intended to serve as a study guide to assist readers interested in exploring the theological origins of the global disorder so evident in this first decade of the twenty-first century. As it is an account of how some believers manage to remain faithful to God and how God responds to that devotion, it is a love story. It is also a story of historic betrayal, and of a hatred of God which still threatens us all" -- from web site.

Book Description
The next chapter of the Bible is being written right now. When a mysterious fever sweeps the world targeting drug users, theories abound as to its origin. Scientists suspect that this is a new pathogen and race to discover an antidote. Authorities worry that it is a man-made weapon designed to eliminate the less productive members of society. A religious group, that calls themselves Noah's Arc, claims that this fever is God's tool to cleanse the earth as he did with water in the time of Noah. Within weeks the death toll reaches into the millions and the world breaks into panic. People riot against their governments demanding a cure. The new pathogen moves swiftly, kills quickly and is universally fatal to those who contract it. Surely there must be some defense to this new terror. In a matter of days the inmates of most of the world's largest prisons fall victim to the disease but not one of the guards or staff members contract it. How could this be? Everyone in the prison consumes the same food and breathes the same air. As the outbreak spreads to include terrorists and gang members, it becomes apparent that the innocent seem to be immune from this fiery fever. Someone is poisoning the sinners of the world. Desperate to avoid the deadly fever people flock to the churches to confess their sins. Drug users check into rehabilitation centers and crime rates drop. Now that every jail term is a death sentence, people fear going to prison. Economies begin to improve. The entire world breaks into the classic debate about good versus evil and where exactly the line between right and wrong lies. Is killing the few to save the many acceptable? And if so, how do you choose who to eliminate? The world population has crossed the seven billion mark. Many scientists believe that the earth does not have enough natural resources to sustain so many humans. If the human race continues to grow without changing our wasteful habits and dependency on natural resources it is likely that a

Book Description
Nebula Award–winning author: Humans have emerged to reclaim the Earth after the Long Winter. But they never anticipated the battle that awaits . . . As Earth thaws after the Long Winter, the remaining human tribes journey from beneath the continent to the fertile land above. But the hjjk, an ancient insectlike race that remained on Earth’s surface throughout the frozen eons, stand in their way. Keeping a tight grip on their power, the hjjks are the chief barrier to the people’s further expansion in the New Springtime. When Kundalimon, a human who has lived with the hjjk for seventeen years, arrives as an emissary of peace, the tribes are wary. They rely on Nialli Apuilana, who had been stolen at thirteen by the hjjk and released months later, to ascertain his true mission. But in this new world, it’s hard to know whom to trust. As both sides prepare for war, the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. The Queen of Springtime is the second book of the New Springtime series, which begins with At Winter’s End. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Robert Silverberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection, as well as a detailed outline for the final, unrealized title in the New Springtime series, The Summer of Homecoming.

Book Description
In her third collection, Indonesian American poet Cynthia Dewi Oka dives into the implications of being parents, children, workers, and unwanted human beings under the savage reign of global capitalism and resurgent nativism. With a voice bound and wrestled apart by multiple histories, Fire Is Not a Country claims the spaces between here and there, then and now, us and not us. As she builds a lyric portrait of her own family, Oka interrogates how migration, economic exploitation, patriarchal violence, and a legacy of political repression shape the beauties and limitations of familial love and obligation. Woven throughout are speculative experiments that intervene in the popular apocalyptic narratives of our time with the wit of an unassimilable other. Oka’s speakers mourn, labor, argue, digress, avenge, and fail, but they do not retreat. Born of conflicts public and private, this collection is for anyone interested in what it means to engage the multitudes within ourselves.

Book Description
The Cleansing Fire is told through the eyes of the main character, Billy, whose life we follow through his teenage years. The foundation of Billy's strength lies in a strong bond between he and his grandfather that is developed over time through their weekly trips to the family's Honey Island fishing camp. One day while hunting on the edge of the swamp Billy wanders up to the edge of Blister's camp. This camp is known as a location for wild boy and late-night party events. Billy's grandfather frequently warned him to stay away from this camp. Despite this warning, Billy was inadvertently drawn to the back of Blister's camp and there discovered a beautiful teenage girl, Lillie, hiding in a deer hunting stand. As Billy develops a secret relationship with Lillie, he innocently becomes drawn into the web of vicious syndicate activity with seedy characters operating between The Mission on the outskirts of the French Quarter in New Orleans and their sex trade activity, throughout the parish and at Blister's in Honey Island. Over time, as he learns more of Lillie's life story, Billy becomes the primary character that could rescue Lillie by exposing the illegal activity at the Mission. In doing so, however, he realizes that he needs support and direction from others that he trusts. Unfortunately, this now places their lives in jeopardy as well as his own. The Cleansing Fire takes a dark dramatic twist as the victims of adolescent sex trafficking begin to regain a sense of self-worth and confidence, seeking a second chance in their damaged lives. The Cleansing Fire opens during a raid on Blister's camp and quickly implodes into a sequence of action-oriented twist and turns. During the raid, Remy Delacroix, New Orleans assistant DA, has no idea that, Maurice Maretti, the kingpin of Orleans Parish mafia, is hidden in a safe place under the floor of Blister's camp. As Maurice impatiently waits for the camp to clear out and to be rescued by Blister, Maurie plans a course of retribution. The Cleansing Fire is a can't put it down journey, which metaphorically uses the power of the flame to conquer evil as well as a cleansing for the body and soul of the sex-trafficking victims, allowing for a fresh new life direction. A native of Louisiana and indigenous to the Honey Island Swamp, the authors books are a rich gumbo of Mafia, Voodoo, Fortune Tellers, murder, sex trafficking, quick witted locals, and gators. You never know what is going to bubble up but I guarantee that it will be flavorful. A great read that takes you right into the swamp and all its mysteries.
