Book Description
KIFO A Killer With Awesome Power. A Motive Of Terrifying Reality. A murderer is targeting white police officers. The killer leaves no forensic evidence of any kind at the crime scene, just the unearthly sound of his weapon and the body of the victim-- with a vaporized head. The only clue police have is an eyewitness who believes he caught a glimpse of the killer, a man wearing a dark hood. Jamal Weathers is a Black FBI agent and one of the Bureau’s top behavioral experts. He has followed the suspect across three states, trying to stop the assassin’s next attack. When Jamal discovers that all of the slain officers bear the names of Black victims of police shootings, it is clear that the killer is a vigilante dedicated to retribution. And in the inner cities, the killer’s sigil appears as graffiti, on t-shirts and on the Internet. It is the outline of a hood, accompanied by the name “Kifo,” the Swahili word for death. In the thick of the case, Jamal comes to a startling, but inescapable conclusion: the murderer and his deadly weapon and technology are either not of our time, or not of this world. Jamal locates his prey, a nightmare incarnation of Ellison’s Invisible Man, only to be captured and face a choice he never imagined: carry on the killer’s work, or die. KIFO X MOTO The lethal vigilante returns, with an even deadlier partner. Cleo Capone is a brilliant girl traumatized by racial oppression. She cleverly tracks down Kifo and he agrees to train her in the new unit called the 120. Together, they continue to bring retribution for racial murder, and the nation is paralyzed with fear. But in the Black community the pair are revered and called Kifo x Moto, which in the native tongue means “Death and Fire.” Cleo harbors a terrible secret, and soon the power of the suit and the quest consume her, and she becomes more deadly than her teacher, and more dedicated to destruction than justice. Cleo plans a daring execution, one that will end the race question forever in America but at a bloody cost. Ultimately, the power they wield, determines there can only be one.

Monk and Mason on the Tigris Frontier
Author: Andrew Palmer
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521360265
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Tur cAdin is a plateau skirted by the Upper Tigris in south-eastern Turkey. Syrian Orthodox Christians of Aramaic tongue still worship in its Late Antique churches. Monks converted the region and the most powerful monastery, founded in the fourth century, is still flourishing today. This book grew out of an attempt to document more fully the early history of this abbey. It aims to rediscover the practical and symbolic function of the monuments of Tur cAdin and place them in their original social context. A recurring theme is the relationship between village and monastery and, within each, between community and individual. The final chapters also contribute to our understanding of the Syrian Orthodox community under the Abbasid caliphate. A 500-page microfiche supplement contains the first editions of the Qartmin Trilogy, a monastic text to which the book refers, constantly, and the Book of Life, a unique quasi-epigraphical document of a Christian village and its will to surive.

The Syriac World
Author: Daniel King
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317482115
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1064
Book Description
This volume surveys the 'Syriac world', the culture that grew up among the Syriac-speaking communities from the second century CE and which continues to exist and flourish today, both in its original homeland of Syria and Mesopotamia, and in the worldwide diaspora of Syriac-speaking communities. The five sections examine the religion; the material, visual, and literary cultures; the history and social structures of this diverse community; and Syriac interactions with their neighbours ancient and modern. There are also detailed appendices detailing the patriarchs of the different Syriac denominations, and another appendix listing useful online resources for students. The Syriac World offers the first complete survey of Syriac culture and fills a significant gap in modern scholarship. This volume will be an invaluable resource to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Syriac and Middle Eastern culture from antiquity to the modern era. Chapter 26 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Death Zones and Darling Spies
Author: Beverly Deepe Keever
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496210468
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Chosen for 2015 One Book One Nebraska In 1961, equipped with a master's degree from famed Columbia Journalism School and letters of introduction to Associated Press bureau chiefs in Asia, twenty-six-year-old Beverly Deepe set off on a trip around the world. Allotting just two weeks to South Vietnam, she was still there seven years later, having then earned the distinction of being the longest-serving American correspondent covering the Vietnam War and garnering a Pulitzer Prize nomination. In Death Zones and Darling Spies, Beverly Deepe Keever describes what it was like for a farm girl from Nebraska to find herself halfway around the world, trying to make sense of one of the nation's bloodiest and bitterest wars. She arrived in Saigon as Vietnam's war entered a new phase and American helicopter units and provincial advisers were unpacking. She tells of traveling from her Saigon apartment to jungles where Wild West-styled forts first dotted Vietnam's borders and where, seven years later, they fell like dominoes from communist-led attacks. In 1965 she braved elephant grass with American combat units armed with unparalleled technology to observe their valor--and their inability to distinguish friendly farmers from hide-and-seek guerrillas. Keever's trove of tissue-thin memos to editors, along with published and unpublished dispatches for New York and London media, provide the reader with you-are-there descriptions of Buddhist demonstrations and turning-point coups as well as phony ones. Two Vietnamese interpreters, self-described as "darling spies," helped her decode Vietnam's shadow world and subterranean war. These memoirs, at once personal and panoramic, chronicle the horrors of war and a rise and decline of American power and prestige.
