Book excerpt: May 1195, and Sir John de Wolfe is faced with a strange series of serial murders, which begins with the suffocation of a Jewish money-lender and proceeds through that of a London harlot, a dissolute priest and a burgess suspected of abusing young boys. The common factor is that an appropriate Biblical text is left at each murder scene, the mode of which reflects the alleged sin of the victim. This means that a literate and Bible-learned killer is involved - which, in an age where only 1% of the population can read or write - can only be a priest. There are at least twenty-five parish churches in Exeter, so the killer could be any one of more than a hundred clerics. Crowner John sets about to discover the identity of the homicidal priest.

Download or read book Grim Reapers 1 written by S. J. Jones and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005-03-03 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first of a series, and will take several books to complete the story. This story takes place in 1947, in Roswell, New Mexico. An older man, a cowboy was caught by surprise, while out on the range. From out of nowhere, flying black rods, about ten inches long, quietly flew up and drilled a flesh sample out of the back of his hand. His trusted pony received the same treatment. When they tried to flee from them, they found out that the black rods were too swift for them. Soon the black rods caught up with them and injected some form of alien tranquilizer into both of them. In a matter of moments, they were rendered unconscious. The cowboy was teleported on to the master alien ship, which appeared to be two miles long and twenty or so stories high. These aliens are ruthless and are indifferent to humans, Later, in the novel, the aliens also abduct the cowboy's ex-wife, the cowboy and wife both being fairly simple-minded plain folks. The chief master alien was found to be extremely intellectual; he can speak over 3,000 languages and has studied Earth since before the antediluvian area. He meets his match with an old plain-spoken grandma and a flea-bitten old cowboy. This novel has a witty twist of comedy which adds a little spice to humanity. The two older couples were simple folk, but honest Injuns, so to speak, and the aliens realized this. Of course, the aliens had the upper hand at all times. The aliens claimed that they weren't interested in conquering Earth, it's far too primitive! Besides that, if they wanted to, they could have conquered Earth many years ago. The aliens think that they have run onto an amazing secret, which at all cost, they wish to retrieve. It might take some time, but they always get what they go after. The older couple had domestic problems most of their married lives. The ex-wife, granted, in the past had resorted to witchcraft to try and save her marriage, but it only ended in a disaster. Along with this alien problem, both of their lives are in turmoil, mostly because their lives were based on lies and deceit. The aliens monitored their household constantly, then put an implant into both of them. The aliens revealed some secrets that mankind has asked for many years -- secrets of the universe.

Book excerpt: The life of Death is never simple, but when little green men are rumoured to be plotting his demise things can get so complicated. Welcome to the Business of Life, the company responsible for Existence, run exquisitely under the ever watchful, all-seeing-eye of Johnny B God. In the grand scheme of all things Immortal, Grim Alfonzo Reaper has been the collector of souls since the Days of Creation, which followed many millennia of brainstorming and graph analysis, but he has never come across a situation where a soul he collects apparently died while digging his grave. Who would want to kill Death? Men in green Lycra apparently which would suggest a lack of both common and dress sense. Aided and hindered in equal measure by a verbally-challenged demon, the Devil himself, and a multitude of vapourous but colourful collected souls, Grim finds that his life was much simpler when all humans had to say was Ug. A surreal comic fantasy about death, life, love, annoyance, violence, depravity, green Lycra and just a little Grim Reaping.

But now Death is courting me in more ways than one. First, there's Rishi, a rogue death deity who has a penchant for annoying me nearly to my grave and whose intense gaze has the power to see right through me. Then there's Hades, who I'd rather had stayed just a myth. Now that he knows I exist, he's not going to leave me alone until I meet the same end as my mother. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention her? I spent my whole life thinking she had died when I was a baby, but now I've found out she's much more than dead. Fifty years ago, Hades banished my mother from the underworld and took away her ability to cross over souls souls that have wandered lost through the world ever since. Now she wants me to clean up the mess. You may have heard of her before... They call her the Grim Reaper."
