Book Description
'The Yellow Snake', also known as 'The Black Tenth', is a thriller novel by Edgar Wallace. The story begins at a house in Siangtan, owned by Joe Bray's. Joe was unique even in China, to which so many unusual personalities have drifted since the days of Marco Polo. The house was of stone and had been designed by one Pinto Huello, a drunken Portuguese architect, who had left Portugal in circumstances discreditable to himself, and had drifted via Canton and Wuchau to this immense and untidy town. The general theory is that Pinto drew his plans after a night of delirium in a paradise of smoke, and had amended them in remorse. The change of plans came when the building was half erected, so that the portion of 'Northward' which had so strong a resemblance to the porcelain tower, stood for Pinto in his unregenerate mood, and all that had any likeness to a riverside go-down fairly represented the erratic Portuguese in the period of reaction.

Ten Years Inside Shelton Prison
Author: Robert L. Segress Ph. D.
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 144976195X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Ten Years inside Shelton Prison is a moving picture that captures what happens inside a prison. Shocking evil and joyful healings live together side by side where the Gospel goes successfully. A guard being stabbed to death with a ballpoint pen during a chapel service stands next to tears of joy running down the face of a Russian mafia member when he was born again. Robert walked into Shelton prison for the first time. As he walked past fences that were covered with razor wire blindingly reflecting the harsh sun, he was afraid. Iron gates slammed behind him. Guards were unaware of his trembling hands. Men in orange suits began to watch him. There was no place to run. This was the beginning of ten years in Shelton prison, where the author served the Lord. There were great blessings: fearful faces accepted the Lord Jesus and became new creatures in Christ. There were dangerous moments: an inmate cut Robert, forcing him to go through AIDS testing. Yet he also had a prisoner's scarred head laid on his shoulder, who after accepting Jesus smiled at him and said, "I needed that." The controlling purpose of Ten Years is to present the four biblical steps to freedom from incarceration, whether inside a prison or addicted outside of a prison. The four parts of this graphic book are: imprisoned, instruction, health, and freedom. The book concludes with two appendices on important subjects: "Learning How to Resist the Devil" and a famous therapy for treating addictions, "Family of Origin Therapy." After the appendices, thirty-three itemized summaries or compendia are given with the reference pages included. Also, there are referenced sites for ten of Robert's poems that are included in this prison journey log.
