Book Description
Crashed pilot Henry Johnson wakes up on another planet, many galaxies away, after being saved by an ancient race who needs his help. Henry is given a military starship, an army of drones, and telepathic abilities to police the universe. For all their advanced intelligence, the aliens need Henry for his uniquely human ability to know when to kill for the right reasons. This new world is full of action and adventure, but Henry treasures his memories of Earth. For ten days, every ten years, he is allowed to go to Earth-as long as no one learns his secret. He is there to remember what it means to be human. But on this trip, nothing goes according to plan. Henry finds Earth on the brink of World War III, and he struggles to resist using his superior mental and physical abilities to stop this catastrophe. But then he falls for Anna Summers, a beautiful Hollywood starlet. They spend every one of his limited days together. The two of them must stop a war, fight invaders, and figure out how their love fits into this giant universe. Even in a galaxy a trillion miles away, there's no place like home.

Ploughshares Into Swords
Author: James Sidbury
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521598606
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
During the summer of 1800, slaves in and around Richmond conspired to overthrow their masters and abolish slavery. This book uses Gabriel's Conspiracy, and the evidence produced during the repression of the revolt, to expose the processes through which Virginians of African descent built an oppositional culture. Sidbury portrays the rich cultures of eighteenth-century black Virginians, and the multiple, and sometimes conflicting, senses of identity that emerged among enslaved and free people living in and around the rapidly growing state capital. The book also examines the conspirators' vision of themselves as God's chosen people, and the complicated African and European roots of their culture. In so doing, it offers an alternative interpretation of the meaning of the Virginia that was home to so many of the Founding Fathers. This narrative focuses on the history and perspectives of black and enslaved people, in order to develop 'Gabriel's Virginia' as a counterpoint to more common discussions of 'Jeffersonian Virginia'.

Finally Songs of Blood and Sword is about a daughter's love for her father and her search to uncover, and to understand, the truth of his life and death.
