Book excerpt: "Every night I dream of a world that is a paradise for all, but then I wake up and find myself still trapped within this reality. Why must my dreams stop existing when I am awake?" -- Dr. Jeremiah AbelWar has come. There is no hiding from it. There is no ignoring it. Humanity now walks this earth with Magi, Animagi, and Daemons, and humanity is now painfully aware that these other beings have abilities they can only dream of. Fear and mistrust chokes the air and clouds the minds of normally rational people.But there is something else, something that none could expect. Hope. Hope that the forces of Hand of Creation, that Dr. Abel, could make the world the better place that they promise. There is no telling how many must die, how much of the old world must burn, for this new world to rise.In The Magus War, Diary of a Magus Book Two, Dorian finds himself having to choose between sides that will preserve the world, or tear it down and make something new on its ruins. But when missiles face magic, soldiers face monsters, and the status quo faces idealism, will there even be the skeleton of a world left once the war is over? Can anyone survive such a war? Or the only possible outcome may be a barren world populated by ghosts and forgotten memories.

Download or read book The Book of Ebenezer le Page written by G.B. Edwards and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2012-03-07 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ebenezer Le Page, cantankerous, opinionated, and charming, is one of the most compelling literary creations of the late twentieth century. Eighty years old, Ebenezer has lived his whole life on the Channel Island of Guernsey, a stony speck of a place caught between the coasts of England and France yet a world apart from either. Ebenezer himself is fiercely independent, but as he reaches the end of his life he is determined to tell his own story and the stories of those he has known. He writes of family secrets and feuds, unforgettable friendships and friendships betrayed, love glimpsed and lost. The Book of Ebenezer Le Page is a beautifully detailed chronicle of a life, but it is equally an oblique reckoning with the traumas of the twentieth century, as Ebenezer recalls both the men lost to the Great War and the German Occupation of Guernsey during World War II, and looks with despair at the encroachments of commerce and tourism on his beloved island. G. B. Edwards labored in obscurity all his life and completed The Book of Ebenezer Le Page shortly before his death. Published posthumously, the book is a triumph of the storyteller’s art that conjures up the extraordinary voice of a living man.
