Book excerpt: A horrid shriek erupted from behind the stairs, and clammy, leathery wings exploded into Warren’s face. He slammed his eyes shut and beat the Gorgon off, hearing Rick’s sword swish through empty air. Warren dove back, rolled on his shoulder, and came up clear, his sword slicing in every direction… With his turned-up nose and pointy ears, Warren Trumbull looks a lot like a pig. Even in a world of evil warlocks and eight-foot cyclops, Warren is an oddball. He gets the worst assignments working for Prince Charming’s Damsel in Distress Rescue Agency: assignments like exterminating a Gorgon—a mean, green, scaly, creature with the power to turn humans to stone. Warren doesn’t want to become a rockhead. But he’ll need all his courage, and surprising secret weapon, to win his wildest battle ever!

Book excerpt: Reader beware! This is a big story so it takes volumes of pages to explain the details. However under the heading of Thunder at Dawn, a lot transpires. The beings who participate in the adventure are the particularly stubborn type, brimming over with the will to live. At times the characters face a struggle to survive within their habitat that appears to be more like a living hell. However, to Leon Davith, his Golem son Bard along with his Enchantress companion who is called Quill , team up with two Warrior Ferries who believe that joining with these eccentrics to seek a high and mighty adventure is pure heaven. But all that changes! Bard chanced to carry the Mighty Sword, as he approached the Gnomish City located on the Threshold of the Unknown he noticed how after unsheathing Thunder At Dawn' it reacted by jolting, hissing along with emitting the battery of sparks. It was said that thunder at Dawn was forged from a brilliant lightning bolt striking Dawn itself. Leon the Grand Wizard said that Thunder at Dawn was forged from was forged from a brilliant lighting bolt striking Dawn itself. Meanwhile Quill loaded airship to make a lengthy journey Moreover Erin in Leda returned to Eleven Sky City to insure the well being of the inhabitants. Bard began studying the course and laying the navigations down, while Leon left on an errand to the Empire across the ocean that was headed by the Seer of Shadows, who'd doubtless was elated by the news of the Dark Lords resignation. For the moment Leon had other concerns he brought several things with him namely a phial of the cure he could replicate a phial of Blue Rose potion Yaga had given him, he could now create it at any time, for Blue Roses were a mercifully common plant in many parts of the world and quite easily procured. In one instance Erin and Leda glanced up to see a renewed Leo entered the room, is this size having been returned to its youthful state thanks to the Blue Rose Potion he'd drank. Leon? Don't I get a sit of the cure-all for Crow's feet?" Quill shouted in mock outrage. Quill raised out of her chair to grab the now youthful Leon Davith in a headlock. 'Just allow me to use that potion you stupid jerk!" She snarled, rubbing the wizards scalp raw with her fist. In another less than humorous incident was God came to stand before Bard. "Give that cursed weapon to me boy", said the god. Thunder at Dawn's true form went alight once more and began sending pillars of energy forth even as a lure slowly rose to his feet single-mindedly racing for his friends Bard on the other hand slowly advanced on thunder at Dawn even as it sent waves upon waves of energy after Bard blown back again and again the Golan stubbornly held on as he rushed to the sword stabbing it with its counter shadow blade his intuition paid off. in The black energies of that weapon left the hilt and immediately began corrupting the towering blade of raw energy . thus, chaos had been stopped before his plans could be once again set back into motion. What was the first "as the demon Lord Constable meanwhile back in God sheathe, the red warrior stood before the remains of thunder at Dawn, grabbing up Shadow Blade's hilt and smiling with the remains of its black energy issued forth sheathing the weapon, sheathing the weapon he left whistling to his Emerald Bird the two flew off leaving the cursed remains of Thunder at Dawn far behind as well as pursuit of the sword. Read realized it was time to make tracks. The two flew off leaving the cursed remains of thunder at Dawn far behind as well as his pursuit of the sword better to leave it at that for no sword designed to destroy the world was worth wielding, that he knew for sure. Finally near the end it was concluded that to great swords could not coexist." We should remain apart while we have the weapons." Bard sighed"

Book excerpt: A Trilogy Reborn, is a title conjured by noted author James Blackthorne. If we have eyes to see the reader will notice a combination of Sagas that are bristling with adventure. The reader will experience real thrills; It's as if the magician uttered his magic words. The trilogy is broken down in a manner that the reader can take in several compelling themes set in exotic settings. The author succeeds in detaching a shadow of the moody black walls and provides us with an array of lively flesh and blood characters. Blackthorn's heart started beating again." I can't pick up what's going on these days," the sources said, swaying his head sadly," but I found a feeling something strange is behind it.In most cases the hero of the story has to fall out is usually the difficult path, the more upright style. He never experiences a quick death'. For example, in Leon's case, his beliefs are genuine. He's not just a wizard, but humanitarian. He believes if necessary, he must sacrifice himself on the cold slab of the heathen altar. In more than one instance, he was willing to perish by a blade he had honed, wielded by the very arm that had given strength skill and consciousness." "An intuitive feeling has risen in the world's heart today that somehow our lives are one." The prolific author spoke of an idea that he had envisioned remotely in his psyche. He envisioned the omniscient potent foe unsheathing his terrible anger and disappointment. . Blackthorne illustrated how there are no unrelated, warring factions, somewhere a splendid unity exists behind the apparent diversity. " We can reveal that hidden thread of being and purpose that seems to marry up the whole. Even the stars and galaxies of other worlds are destined to become part of one harmonious mass." For the moment, the author felt a sudden twinge of fear as his innards shifted violently. Along the spur of the moment, the fear was gone, replaced by a strong pulse of excitement.. "Why should he be afraid," he asked himself?" He could be likened to the characters in his books. James explained how long ago, he had readied himself for such exigencies. Blackthorne explained. "From an author's point of view, you generally do better if you're close to your character. Yet you don't desire to be quite as close as you would like to be from the viewpoint of building up your creativity.".Come meet the cast of exciting characters as they are involved in this Fine Fantasy firmly rooted, in reality, there's a strong focus on one of the leading characters called the Grand Wizard Leon Davith. It's common for Leon to join powers with his Golem son called Barson Wolfe. Blackstone translated his comments into velocity at times he requires the reader to stiffen in order to meet the shock. Still, no story is complete without including the feminine factions. Bards gal pal referred to as Quill, who is an alluring young sorceress. Meanwhile, she stood in the company of two beautiful ferries called Erin and Leda. Erin commented to Quill. " Our alibi's sound so good in theory, but in reality, what we experience is a different means of narrating the story." Leon nodded. However, Quill explained. I can't help the rumination of my thoughts." For a minute there was no response. Leda remarked, "my gut feeling informs me that this trip delivers a few glitches, is about more than just some ancient relic." " Stop that" Erin said. " I suffer a strange impression, whatever or wherever it is we're being summoned there." Leda's eyes opened full. " My curiosities got me., why are we summoned and for what person purpose?" Leon commented. " Simmer down ladies, it's best to catch some rest before the big day"

Book excerpt: Detectives in Greece struggle to solve multiple murders—and confront a shadowy group claiming that the goddess Athena is behind the carnage . . . After an unidentified body is found at the Temple of Hephaestus, arranged to resemble the myth of Athena’s birth, officers Michail Mikras and Katerina Galanis are assigned to the case, led by a senior detective recently transferred from London. Amid growing media coverage, a group calling itself The Awakening puts out ominous social media posts, claiming that this crime proves the goddess Athena has returned to “cleanse” the city of Athens. With each new corpse, the mania grows—chants of “Athena is arisen” ring out; a rabble-rousing newspaper suggests that the goddess is purifying the city by getting rid of immigrants; graffiti of axes and snakes start to appear. As raucous rallies spring up throughout the city, the team of investigators must solve the case to break the spell before an unimaginable horror comes to pass . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 1990 American Book Award What is classical about Classical civilization? In one of the most audacious works of scholarship ever written, Martin Bernal challenges the foundation of our thinking about this question. Classical civilization, he argues, has deep roots in Afroasiatic cultures. But these Afroasiatic influences have been systematically ignored, denied or suppressed since the eighteenth century—chiefly for racist reasons. The popular view is that Greek civilization was the result of the conquest of a sophisticated but weak native population by vigorous Indo-European speakers—Aryans—from the North. But the Classical Greeks, Bernal argues, knew nothing of this “Aryan model.” They did not see their institutions as original, but as derived from the East and from Egypt in particular. This long-awaited third and final volume of the series is concerned with the linguistic evidence that contradicts the Aryan Model of ancient Greece. Bernal shows how nearly 40 percent of the Greek vocabulary has been plausibly derived from two Afroasiatic languages – Ancient Egyptian and West Semitic. He also reveals how these derivations are not limited to matters of trade, but extended to the sophisticated language of politics, religion, and philosophy. This evidence, according to Bernal, greatly strengthens the hypothesis that in Greece an Indo-European-speaking population was culturally dominated by Ancient Egyptian and West Semitic speakers. Provocative, passionate, and colossal in scope, this volume caps a thoughtful rewriting of history that has been stirring academic and political controversy since the publication of the first volume.
