Book Description
The Moorish Trilogy, Part One is the fictitious tale of Othello’s journeys and adventures before he was fatally impaled by the quill of Shakespeare. Captain Belgae Hawkins, spawn of Vikings, is a tormented soul, secretly battling with his past, warring in his sleep, and spitting at his demons. In his waking reality, his ragtag army dangles on the cusp of a wave of invasion by Othello’s legions of ruthless warriors, man-eating predators, and an elephant brigade. Each time Hawkins mounts a resistance, his men are overrun, retreating further and further west from Egypt, via Alexandria, Libya, Tripoli, Carthage, and then across the channel to Granada in Spain. Battling storms, floods, and plagues, the warring factors form new relationships, new allies, and new enemies. Life, love, loss, loyalty, friendship, and betrayal flourish. When Will loses his wife Emma Lynn to the plague, Hawkins joins Will on a psychological journey through a long cycle of depressive episodes, until he reaches acceptance. Narrated from Hawkins’ point-of-view, the reader never knows what will happen next in this high-speed, epic roller coaster adventure. Othello has fascinated generation after generation throughout the world for more than 400 years. In this age of sequel and prequel, Othello’s journeys and adventures are limited only by the boundaries of the sliver of his existence on Shakespeare’s stage. Enter The Moorish Trilogy.

The Jews in America Trilogy
Author: Stephen Birmingham
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504038959
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 672
Book Description
Three New York Times bestsellers chronicle the rise of America’s most influential Jewish families as they transition from poor immigrants to household names. In his acclaimed trilogy, author Stephen Birmingham paints an engrossing portrait of Jewish American life from the colonial era through the twentieth century with fascinating narrative and meticulous research. The collection’s best-known book, “Our Crowd” follows nineteenth-century German immigrants with recognizable names like Loeb, Sachs, Lehman, Guggenheim, and Goldman. Turning small family businesses into institutions of finance, banking, and philanthropy, they elevated themselves from Lower East Side tenements to Park Avenue mansions. Barred from New York’s gentile elite because of their religion and humble backgrounds, they created their own exclusive group, as affluent and selective as the one that had refused them entry. The Grandees travels farther back in history to 1654, when twenty-three Sephardic Jews arrived in New York. Members of this small and insulated group—considered the first Jewish community in America—soon established themselves as wealthy businessmen and financiers. With descendants including poet Emma Lazarus, Barnard College founder Annie Nathan Meyer, and Supreme Court Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo, these families were—and still are—hugely influential in the nation’s culture, politics, and economics. In “The Rest of Us,” Birmingham documents the third major wave of Jewish immigration: Eastern Europeans who swept through Ellis Island between 1880 and 1924. These refugees from czarist Russia and Polish shtetls were considered barbaric, uneducated, and too steeped in the traditions of the “old country” to be accepted by the well-established German American Jews. But the new arrivals were tough, passionate, and determined. Their incredible rags to riches stories include those of the lives of Hollywood tycoon Samuel Goldwyn, Broadway composer Irving Berlin, makeup mogul Helena Rubenstein, and mobster Meyer Lansky. This unforgettable collection comprises a comprehensive account of the Jewish American upper class, their opulent world, and their lasting mark on American society.

This is the story of a city, a city that is now in ruins: Madinat al Zahra. The year is 947 AD, a time when southern Spain is under the rule of the Moors.

When a stranger arrives asking questions about him, he is worried that his secret will be discovered and everything he has worked for will be destroyed. In the meantime, unbeknown to Qasim, his youngest son, Omar meets and falls in love with a slave girl who has been sold into the Caliph's harem.

The Moor, the Mason and the Alien
Author: Richard William Smith
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781511667982
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
From the book: "Mother Earth had flung the star gates wide open this time. Coming out of the north, a messenger from the galactic community would reignite the fires of insurrection. Crossing the racial and sexual boundaries of lost knowledge and ancient wisdom, his words of sheer defiance would turn the tide against the transnational corporations and unite the ancient defenders of the throne." A visionary synthesis of alien contact, the Moorish Legacy, reincarnation and human origins, The Moor, The Mason And The Alien engages the reader with a radically ambitious scope of knowledge and wisdom, putting us on track with a magnificent interstellar experience through the paranormal and extraterrestrial terrains of ancient history, psychology, economics and current affairs. Ranging from the author's personal odyssey to the global issues we all face, Richard Smith serves up "a spiritual insurrection," an epic saga like no other representing the beginning of a new and riveting human adventure, taking the reader on an historical account of a global rebellion that begins with the Sasquatch going head to head with the Greys and transforms into the ancient Moorish Legacy of the Egyptian University System. Rooted in the extraterrestrial, paranormal and metaphysical experiences of the author himself, his path of awakening brings him face to face with an entity known as the Crone, a primordial relic of a much older galactic community. Representing an interstellar collective known as the Sisterhood, the Crone intentionally takes the author on an odyssey of self exploration into the human condition, forcing him to confront the reality of the Ancient Vendetta against humanity. Evolving into the 'Son of the Mother', his journey causes him to become the one person who realizes how to put it together. As the fate of Mother Earth hangs in the balance, the adventure escalates into a battle of wits pitting the Temple of Solomon and the Gene for Passion against the Corporate Titans of Orion in a global movement known as The Human Origins Revolution. The result of twenty years of paranormal experience, psychological analysis and metaphysical study of Earth's solar system and cosmology, The Moor, The Mason And The Alien provides a unique, unvarnished and revolutionary perspective on humanity's origins that is introspective, ethereal, apocalyptic and otherworldly all at the same time. RICHARD SMITH is an experiencer, author, international speaker and radio host on the topic of UFOs, the Moorish Legacy and related matters. He was born in Tampa, Florida, in 1970. He grew up in Farmingdale, New York, playing baseball, soccer and the piano while studying art, math, science fiction and the cosmos. He earned an Associate's degree in Advertising Art and Design and a Bachelor's degree in Visual Arts and Communication at New York State University. He also received the Certificate of Achievement Award, honored for Outstanding Achievement, at New York State University for his dedicated work with Extraterrestrial Intervention and Alien Abduction Phenomena. He is an alumnus of both Farmingdale and Old Westbury colleges. Since publishing his experiences on the subject of alien contact in 1999, Richard has travelled throughout the U.S. speaking to audiences.
