The Devils
Author: John Robert Whiting
Publisher: Baker's Plays
ISBN: 9780573011016

Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
The nuns of St Ursula's Convent, led by the Prioress, Sister Jeanne, accused Urbain Grandier, Vicar of Loudon, of sorcery. He was tried, tortured and burned. On this baldly terrible foundation, Whiting has built a powerful, complex play, interweaving the personal dilemmas of Jeanne and Grandier with the political necessities of the time. Although it is set between 1623-34, essentially it is no more a period play than Miller's The Crucible.6 women, 13 men

The Devil's Playground
Author: Andrew Bragg

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
“As America assesses the value of our intervention in Afghanistan and involvement in future foreign wars, we must always consider the price. Andrew and his friends’ service was valorous and honorable. His authentic perspective of the environment and the eye-opening costs to our soldiers is sobering. These accounts should be mandatory reading for foreign policy makers and defense department leaders.” — Major General (Ret.) Brian Mennes, United States Army, Former Fury 6 “The Devil’s Playground” was anything south of the second canal to the men of Charlie Company’s 2nd Platoon—Two Charlie—during their 2009–2010 deployment to the Arghandab River Valley in Afghanistan. The valley had been a notorious hot spot throughout history, with the Russians unable to maintain a foothold in the 80s and Coalition forces now facing the same problem during Operation Enduring Freedom. The Two Charlie paratroopers deployed as part of the 2-508th PIR, Two Fury, of the 82nd Airborne Division, but always seemed to be on their own. They started their deployment attached to Canadian forces in Panjwai but were shortly moved into the Arghandab with one of the battalion’s biggest Areas of Operation. They inherited a bare bones outpost that they worked hard to turn into the defendable position known as COP Tynes, while patrolling the grape fields and orchards of the valley. Little did they know that when the leaves returned to the valley in the spring, so too would the fighting. As the fighting picked up in the valley, the men of Two Charlie continued to sustain casualties as they fought day in and day out. There was never a dull moment in the Arghandab, and the fact that Two Charlie had to patrol, act as a quick reaction force, and secure their outpost on their own ensured that they never stopped. The men were constantly brought to their breaking point as their numbers dwindled and the fighting intensified. The men all started to believe that they weren’t going to make it out of the valley alive. The one rule of the valley would be proved time and time again: in the end, the valley always wins. This book shares the story of the men of Two Charlie and their fight for survival in the Arghandab River Valley, the Devil’s Playground.

Ground of the Devil: Book Two By: Richard Rezendes Ground of the Devil: Book Two is the continuation of Ground of the Devil: Book One, beginning with its history and clean up, only to be surprised by one of the mother’s demons that terrorized Moodus and the Mohegan Sun Casino, a lizard-like creature with lots of tentacles, pincers, and a stinging tail like the mother. Other demons look like rats, dragons, crocodiles/alligators, lizards, hyenas, devil dogs, giant mosquitoes, bat birds, crawling worm siblings, demons looking like the mother, sea demons, whale shark giant sea monster devils, bigfoot monkey-looking demons. The devil's fourteen demons, some of them come from under the ground, traveling at a high rate of speed for its attack; some fly like prehistoric birds, and some live in the sea and spreads their venom. All fourteen demons have lobster-like claws and a scorpion stinger tail, and all of them are different but attack the same way as their mother. None of the demons spray fire like the mother, but they are all killing machines; however, they were put down by military force! A substance called “the pink blob slime jelly orange sand” was the devil's powerful venom, and all the demons have it. Some of the fourteen demons have siblings. The venom turns colors, and it's electrified and glows in the dark, looking like a moving jellyfish and terrorizing the globe with fear of the second coming of the devil.

Book Description
In The Rapture Age a great fictional description of that event has been penned. It therefore describes those happenings in a past tense as though it's already happened in a twinkling of an eye. Then from out of the great blue our whole world swiftly erupted with the force of millions of volcanoes, all spewing out grunge at the very same time; 'Twas also then the most fantastic hour when shock and awe ruled ever so mightily! 2 And all manner of moving vehicles that should have stopped, didn't. 3 But all types of things that shouldn't have stopped, abruptly did; Nor was there anyone left alive that expected those outrageous times of true upheaval. 4 For as the great tribulation suddenly began, all of the clocks everywhere seemingly froze up solid; Time, itself, was deathly afraid of moving ahead as it looked back towards that mouth-dropping hour of transition in horror. 5 Even the spirit of terror must have been shaken when billions of people were scared straight into crooked paths that were filled with great fear. 6 And all of that happened since an unseen disaster mysteriously hit our planet really hard between her eyes, as she was thrown for a very big loop. 7 But it also came to pass, that our old calendar instantly faded away as a new timetable immediately came into being without any notice to anyone. 8 For it then become the year 0001 A.R., After Rapture, while a brand new definition of "pandemonium" was speedily ushered in. 9 And that day of awful panic started like any other; 10 But it would soon end as no other ever had since our Lord of Prophecy came and went like "a thief in the night," just as 2 Peter 3:10 long ago foretold. 11 As a result, that instantly became the most horrific day of all times; 'Twas also the real confusing moment when the bewilderment of our globe's remaining souls suddenly began to run much faster than "rampant" ever meant before. 12 'twas therefore the very dangerous hour of no safe bets; All bets were off! 13 For that day rudely brought forth a towering event that stood much taller than every past catastrophic event, all stacked on top of each other. 14 And all of the above hastily unfolded like a well scripted mystery, while some very intriguing devilish music played ever so silently in the background. 15 But most people heard nothing whatsoever since those sounds of our universe's applauding heavens were well muffled within their hearing. 16 And that was more than unfortunate; For the sounding of the trumpet from 1 Thess 4:16 would have been music to any soul that had ears to hear.
