Book Description
Alver is a troubled warrior. His people are dying off in a war that has lasted far too many years. He and his people face slavery and worse extinction. Alver has been made chieftain and was given a relic of great power to wield. Surrounded with the last heroes of the southern tribes, he brings them to the final battle. Alver swore revenge against an enemy-a huge man of great hunger. Gizor Njal rose from out of nothing to leader of the northern cities swearing Alver's death and his people's extinction as he seeks recognition, power, and godhood. Gizor Njal's real power comes from pure evil in the form of a Druid of dark means. The Druid Whiteblossom has strange alliances, means, and magic. He has come to Gizor Njal and told him of the ancient prophecies, which name him as a coming god, and has convinced Gizor Njal the death of the southern tribes and the taking of the relic of power will bring forth his transformation. The Druid has a deadly secret and his own goals of power. Alver has many who owe him their life-one is hiding a great magical power from him but she loves him and intends him to live and his enemies to meet their doom. The end is near and all the hate, revenge, magic, muscle, and planning have come down to this moment in time.

Book Description
One Hundred Philistine Foreskins centers on the life of Temima Ba'alatOv, known also as Ima Temima, or Mother Temima, a charismatic woman rabbi of extraordinary spiritual power and learning, and an utterly original interpreter of the Hebrew Bible. Temima is revered as a guru with prophetic, even messianic powers—one who dares to raise her woman's "naked" voice even in the face of extreme hostility by the traditional establishment. Moving between two worlds—Temima as a child in Brooklyn and Temima as an adult in Jerusalem—the story reveals the forces that shaped her, including the early loss of her mother; her spiritual and intellectual awakening; her complex relationship with her father, a ritual slaughterer; her forced marriage; her "ascent" to Israel; and her intense romantic involvements with charismatic men who launch her toward her destiny as a renowned woman leader in Israel. True to Reich's voice as a satirist of humanity's darker inclinations, the story is rooted in contemporary times, revealing the extreme and ecstatic expressions of religion, as well as the power of religion and religious authorities to use and abuse the faithful, both spiritually and physically, with life–altering and crushing consequences. Cynthia Ozick said of Tova Reich that her "verbal blade is amazingly, ingeniously, startlingly, all–consumingly, all–encompassingly, deservedly, and brilliantly savage." This has never been more true than in One Hundred Philistine Foreskins, a work of literature sure to be hailed as an immensely authoritative and fearlessly bold tour–de–force.
