Book excerpt: In the year 2025, life is decadent, and the major recreational drug is an aphrodisiac patch. When applied on a woman, it instantly brings her hormonal levels to the plateau phase, just prior to orgasm. Initially designed to assist women in the menopausal phase of life, it became legalized as an over-the-counter drug that is now sold in dispensing machines. Anyone eighteen years or older can buy the patch for ten dollars, making it widely distributed throughout the United States. A drug lord from Columbia wants to sell the drug in China, where he anticipates making billions of dollars in profits. But the ruling council there denies his request. To force a positive response and cooperation with his distribution plans, the drug lord abducts Wang, the son of the premier of China. China has three days to acquiesce to his demands, or Wang will be killed. The premier calls on the president of the United States for assistance. The president sends two enlightened people with special powers, Admiral Aaron Mullins, also known as the Pendragon, and Connie Chunxia, a special liaison on International Affairs, to rescue Wang. But he has been hidden in a Malayan jungle where dangers lurk everywhere. Just when Connie and the Pendragon think they have succeeded, the drug lord surfaces with an entirely new identity and is bent on sadistic revenge.
Download or read book Avalon written by Stephen R Lawhead and published by Lion Fiction. This book was released on 2013-03-22 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rousing postscript to Lawhead's bardic Pendragon Cycle . . . Playing off snappy contemporary derring-do against the powerful shining glimpses of the historical Arthur he created, Lawhead pulls off a genuinely moving parable of good and evil.'Â Publishers Weekly It has been foretold: In the hour of Britain's greatest need, King Arthur will return to rescue his people. In Portugal, the reprobate King Edward the Ninth has died by his own hand. In England, the British monarchy teeters on the edge of total destruction. And in the Scottish Highlands, a mystical emissary named Mr. Embries-better known as "Merlin"-informs a young captain that he is next in line to the throne. For James Arthur Stuart is not the commoner he has always believed himself to be-he is Arthur, the legendary King of Summer, reborn. But the road to England's salvation is dangerous, with powerful enemies waiting in ambush. For Arthur is not the only one who has returned from the mists of legend. And Merlin's magic is not the only sorcery that has survived the centuries.
Download or read book The Redeemer Reborn written by Paul Schofield and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, Wagnerian scholarship has always treated the Ring and Parsifal as two separate works. The Redeemer Reborn: Parsifal as the Fifth Opera of Wagner's Ring shows how Parsifal is in fact actually the fifth opera of the Ring. Schofield explains in detail how these five musical dramas portray a single, unbroken story which begins at the start of Das Rheingold when Wotan breaks a branch from the World Ash-tree and Alberich steals the gold of the Rhine, thus separating Spear and Grail, and ends with the reunion of the Spear and Grail in the temple of Monsalvat at the end of Parsifal. Schofield explains how and why the four main characters of the Ring are reborn in the opera Parsifal, needing to complete in Parsifal the spiritual journey begun in the Ring. He also shows how the redemption that is not attained in the process of the Ring is finally realized in the events of Parsifal.

Download or read book The Glory of Arthur written by Jeffrey John Dixon and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-08-08 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting with William Blake's lost painting The Ancient Britons, this book shows how the visionary artist and poet reworked the Matter of Britain--the corpus of legends presenting an alternative history of Britain--into his own mythology. He thus adds to a tradition of Arthurian epic begun by Layamon in the 13th century and continued by Edmund Spenser in the 16th, in which a Romano-Celtic warlord becomes an icon of the English imagination. This book shows how Britain became the promised land of a pagan goddess where mythical events are as important as those of history, and how the figure of Arthur is transformed into a British Messiah whose Christian realm is in continuous interaction with the Otherworld of Faerie, an imagined place between the spiritual and the earthly. Arthur as perceived through Blake's vision is the earthly embodiment of the fallen Albion; this exploration of the mythic underpinnings of the English sense of nationhood reveals an imaginative consciousness that links us to "human existence itself."
