Book excerpt: The world has come to an end. Or has it? What starts out as a long overdue father-and-son vacation immediately becomes more complicated, when they uncover an unusual coin in the dirt. Frighteningly, its as if the planet is thrown into upheaval over this innocent discovery. All of a sudden, the FBI shows up at their door asking lots of questions, planting the seeds of paranoia, doubt and worry. The neighbors start acting strangely, almost on the verge of panic. The nearby military base is abandoned overnight and the weather has never been so unpredictable. As everything falls apart around them, no one is certain what is happening. There is no cell phone service, no radio or TV, no form of communication whatsoever. What should the people prepare for - the ever-popular zombie apocalypse, or global economic collapse, another American civil war, nuclear or biological terrorist attack, super volcano or titanic earthquake, planet-wide meteorological disaster, impending asteroid collision, or perhaps an alien invasion from outer space? While the masses flee in every direction, a small organized group finds refuge in a corporate data bunker, which was once a military facility. Here, thirty people are thrown together, perhaps by fate or coincidence, they come to wait out the final days, the dreaded apocalypse. Without warning or explanation, their lives are spared by the power of the mysterious coin Minervas Shield. When they emerge from inside the mountain, however, they find a world relatively undamaged. Yet there is no trace that people ever existed. There are no bodies, no skeletons, not a single trace. It is a world without humans. This diverse community of survivors quickly bands together to gather supplies and hammer out a new existence, where they appear to be the only living souls. Still, they are curious about what really happened that fateful day. And someone, or something, is watching them as well.

Book excerpt: While playing on a cliff ledge in Cornwall, a young man, Dejon, discovers the Sword of Shaftesbury, which once belonged to the Celtic God, Bran. However, Dejon gets more than he bargained for, as he finds the wizard Cadgwith, father of Merlin, trapped within it. Cadgwith’s granddaughter, Sennen, is in mortal danger and upon releasing the wizard, Dejon is persuaded to help. In order to save Sennen from the evil sea lord Mullion, Dejon is transported to Tintagel in the year 410 AD. However, by mistake, Dejon’s rival Jamie falls into the spell and lands in the dungeon of the castle, where he meets Mithian, the hero of the local people; after several mishaps, all three escape the castle together. The King of Tintagel hates his stepdaughter, Ruth. She is a revered general and leads her own rebel army within the castle. She is a fearless fighter, respected by all sides. A slow and brooding love story develops in a battle for Ruth’s affections between her childhood friends Mithian and Delaboe, her comrades in arms, and Dejon. Mullion assembles a fearsome army and travels through time, joining forces with Quin, leader of a band of Cornish cutthroats and vagabonds. The teenage rivals bring twenty-first century humour and logic to those dark days of death before dishonour. Dejon uses the magic sword as a flying skateboard, encountering spirits, gods, druids – and even the Grim Reaper! Tintagel crosses Cornwall from north to south and from east to west with authentic references to the geography and the history of the time. At first glance it may seem like a fairy tale, but don’t be fooled – it is for adults only! A pulse-pounding read, Tintagel will appeal to fans of fantasy series such as The Chronicles of Narnia and Game of Thrones.

Download or read book The Iliad of Homer written by Homer and published by anboco. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present translation of the Iliad will, it is hoped, be found to convey, more accurately than any which has preceded it, the words and thoughts of the original. It is based upon a careful examination of whatever has been contributed by scholars of every age towards the elucidation of the text, including the ancient scholiasts and lexicographers, the exegetical labours of Barnes and Clarke, and the elaborate criticisms of Heyne, Wolf, and their successors. The necessary brevity of the notes has prevented the full discussion of many passages where there is great room for difference of opinion, and hence several interpretations are adopted without question, which, had the editor's object been to write a critical commentary, would have undergone a more lengthened examination. The same reason has compelled him, in many instances, to substitute references for extracts, indicating rather than quoting those storehouses of information, from whose abundant contents he would gladly have drawn more copious supplies. Among the numerous works to which he has had recourse, the following deserve particular mention-Alberti's invaluable edition of Hesychius, the Commentary of Eustathius, and Buttmann's Lexilogus. In the succeeding volume, the Odyssey, Hymns, and minor poems will be produced in a similar manner. THEODORE ALOIS BUCKLEY
