Book Description
The lyrical genius of Michael Moorcock defies categorization; his creations soar to grand and golden places hitherto unimagined and unimaginable. In this, his most heartfelt and astonishing work to date, he carries the reader across mystical thresholds viewed from afar in the brilliant Blood and Fabulous Harbors, and reveals the mighty destinies, exemplary loves, and the true and secret histories of his most beloved and intriguing characters. It is a tale of the incomparable Rose von Bek, who discovers the myriad possibilities that life has to offer in the special, infinitely wondrous places known as the Second Ether - where time has no bounds and existence is a river of endless reinvention. Here, also, is the love of her life - the volatile and enigmatic Sam Oakenburst - and the story of the ill-fated passion of the exotic Colinda Dovero and the swashbuckling gambler Jack Karaquazian. These four together - along with their exceptional companions, including Rose's mad uncle, Michael, late of Texas - will become allies in what some call the great War in Heaven, fighting shoulder-to-shoulder against the agents of evil and stagnation, in a battle whose outcome will determine the very nature of reality itself.

The final chapter was written in the year 2000, telling that Islamic terrorism was would to spread to every nation, including the United States. Ironically, Mullen wrote that chapter while living with Mohamed Atta, the mastermind of the WTC terrorist attack. He again crossed paths with Atta just prior to 9-11, an occurrence that drew the attention of the FBI. In 1976, Michael Mullen was writing a book about the horrendous sinking of the WWII ship, USS Indianapolis (of JAWS fame), based upon TOP SECRET papers released exclusively to him by President Gerald Ford. Mullen had the interest of every major publishing house in the country, when suddenly, the Man on the Shroud of Turin commanded that he quit writing that book, and instead, write what would become War of the Angels. He told Mullen, "Write what you see." War of the Angels was Divinely Inspired. It was written as commanded by the Man whose image is embedded on the Shroud of Turin. It is based upon first-hand encounters. Not only does it detail the world of angels, but also such phenomena as: the Star of Bethlehem; the Shroud of Turin; the Cloud World of the Rapture; the Bottomless Pit of the demons; and much more. Mullen saw SahTAHN being cast into hell, and he stood beside Jesus in the Great White Throne Room as World War Three was launched by Russia. War of the Angels "takes you there." War of the Angels is the most authoritative book on angel warfare ever written. It is based upon actual experiences, written by a very credible source.

He authored, "How To Get A Job In Sports" and has chaired career seminars with teams from every major sport. He has authored multiple books, and is currently President of the Jerusalem Broadcasting Company--USA.

We Band of Angels
Author: Elizabeth Norman
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
ISBN: 0812984846
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
In the fall of 1941, the Philippines was a gardenia-scented paradise for the American Army and Navy nurses stationed there. War was a distant rumor, life a routine of easy shifts and dinners under the stars. On December 8 all that changed, as Japanese bombs began raining down on American bases in Luzon, and this paradise became a fiery hell. Caught in the raging battle, the nurses set up field hospitals in the jungles of Bataan and the tunnels of Corregidor, where they tended to the most devastating injuries of war, and suffered the terrors of shells and shrapnel. But the worst was yet to come. After Bataan and Corregidor fell, the nurses were herded into internment camps where they would endure three years of fear, brutality, and starvation. Once liberated, they returned to an America that at first celebrated them, but later refused to honor their leaders with the medals they clearly deserved. Here, in letters, diaries, and riveting firsthand accounts, is the story of what really happened during those dark days, woven together in a deeply affecting saga of women in war. Praise for We Band of Angels “Gripping . . . a war story in which the main characters never kill one of the enemy, or even shoot at him, but are nevertheless heroes . . . Americans today should thank God we had such women.”—Stephen E. Ambrose “Remarkable and uplifting.”—USA Today “[Elizabeth M. Norman] brings a quiet, scholarly voice to this narrative. . . . In just a little over six months these women had turned from plucky young girls on a mild adventure to authentic heroes. . . . Every page of this history is fascinating.”—Carolyn See, The Washington Post “Riveting . . . poignant and powerful.”—The Dallas Morning News Winner of the Lavinia Dock Award for historical scholarship, the American Academy of Nursing National Media Award, and the Agnes Dillon Randolph Award
