Book excerpt: The Glass Cage describes one of life's problems, which refers to more or less all of us. Who hasn't, as a child, ever caught bugs in a glass jar and watched, fascinated, how they tried unsuccessfully to escape from what for them is a transparent prison? It's the same with people who, also due to fateful circumstances, find themselves in a glass prison. They see and recognize everything that surrounds them, but cannot reach what they desire because invisible walls prevent them from it. On the other side of the glass are the people outside the cage. They fail to recognize that their companion is wrestling with problems, which are invisible to them and are, therefore, very surprised at his strange behavior. Peter, in his early forties, not happy in his present marriage, has come to love the wife of a neighbor. He tells a colleague about it, describing his feelings, his wavering and searching in this hopeless situation. Something out of the ordinary: since his youth, Peter suffers from a speech and hearing defect. As a result, when speaking, he is forced to an unnatural restraint, which gives him the feeling of being in a glass cage. Ever since his youth, he was forced to do without many things, and in the course of the years, to comprehend, understand, tolerate, relinquish, and deny himself too much not to let his successors know about it. The original draft of the book was written in pencil between 1966 and 1969. It was only recently, some thirty years after the described events, and once he acquired a computer and learned to use it, that he re-wrote the text with the insight obtained through the distance of the years gone by. The affected persons were made anonymous, and now, while he is still alive, he wants to tell his children and the public a story, which is certainly out of the ordinary.

Foretold is a story of an ancient warrior that is to return to the castle to free the captive Vampire Prince. Simon Roberts was a petty thief who fled England to escape Scotland Yard after a series of unsuccessful jewelry store heists. He was recruited to do a job in Germany where he was to simply drive the get away car while providing a look out. He thought this was going to be an easy job and a way to break into the German crime scene. But things go terribly wrong and he ended up being the only survivor of the botched heist. Simon is quickly sentenced to a prison called Rhinehoth. This is where Germany sent the worst of the worst, surely not a place for a petty thief such as himself. Rhinehoth is a great German castle that was converted in the late 1930's to a Stalag for war criminals of World War II. The converted prison's modern day inhabitants are relentlessly tortured, starved and sleep deprived. This contributes to the prisoners' delusional visions that help hide the truth and keeps Rhinehoth's secrets. Their captors are the army of Werewolves who have survived the centuries off the very flesh and blood of Germany's worst forgotten criminals. Simon, imprisoned becomes plagued with visions from his subconscious ancient past with confusion of his modern day consciousness. He discovers through his visions that he is the ancient warrior, Guthrie who has come to free the Vampire Prince and all the captives while saving the world from a dark plan of biblical proportions that has been orchestrated over the centuries!
