It is 1494 when the ruler of Ferghana dies in an extraordinary accident. His only son, Babur, faces a seemingly impossible challenge. Babur is determined to live up to the example of his legendary ancestor, Tamburlaine, whose conquests transformed the face of the earth from Delhi to the Mediterranean, from wealthy Persia to the wildernesses along the Volga. But Babur is dangerously young to inherit a kingdom. Before Babur can summon enough warlords to declare him the rightful king, plots against his crown, even his life, are hatching. And soon, he will discover that even the bravest and most fearless leader can be betrayed. With the wisest of advisers and most courageous of warriors by his side, Babur can achieve a great destiny and found an empire in India, but every step of his journey will be fraught with danger.

At the age of five, she is taught different styles of martial arts as well as hunting, tracking, and traps. The untimely death of the childs parents throws her into the middle of the war to use what she has learned. One day at a time, Kimber Daniels survives as she was raised to do. Anger for the people responsible for her parents’ death pushes her down the path of revenge. Along the way, the vengeful survivalist discovers she isn’t alone on the path of hate and unknowingly forms what would turn out to be the most dangerous rebel group of that war. The Raiders. Nothing left to lose; the rebels wage their own war on the enemy in a fight for their home and lives. YEAR: 2420 Four hundred years after Earths third war, Supreme Commander Radkins, self appointed leader of the Alterrian nation discovers the groups’ talents. In the middle of a war he started, he develops an interest in the group and what they could offer his troops. The high-tech time he lives in has the best weapons to offer, skilled pilots as well as battle ships powerful enough to destroy planets. The technology of the years had taken away from the people however. Trained to survive a push button world, ground assaults were nothing but stories to the military of this time. Sights set on the rebels from Earths past; Radkins develops a time ship, the Epoch-Hie, to bring the group to his war. Depending on the fact that they were traitors to their country and government, he planned to buy their services. He had no doubts that for the right price, the Raiders would help him over power and enslave the Galithians who were fighting the rebellion against him. Upon discovering Radkins plans, the rebellion is faced with yet another problem in defeating the Alterrian forces. Barely surviving as it was, they would not be able to withstand what the Raiders could do to the rebellion. Appointed to find the group, Major Kile Dorant and the pilots of Fire Squad begin the search. Reading the groups past in the history is alarming to say the least. Known as traitors, murderers, and deserters, the Raiders training and skills would undoubtedly destroy the rebellion if Radkins succeeded in using the group against them.

Like a real-life version of Raiders of the Lost Ark, this incredible story of adventure and mystery has almost been completely forgotten today. In 1908, Monty is approached by a strange Finnish scholar named Valter Juvelius who claims to have discovered a secret code in the Bible that reveals the location of the Ark. Monty assembles a ragtag group of blueblood adventurers, a renowned psychic, and a Franciscan father, to engage in a secret excavation just outside the city walls of Jerusalem. Using recently uncovered records from the original expedition and several newly translated sources, True Raiders is the first retelling of this group’s adventures– in the space between fact and faith, science and romance.

Download or read book The Raiders and Writers of Cervantes Archive written by Paul Kong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the context of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra and his influence on Jorge Luis Borges, Manuel Puig and Gabriel Marquez, Paul Kong brings a variety of theoretical perspectives to bear as he analyzes the concepts of the archive and the manuscript. Setting the stage with an exploration of the intricate and intriguing relationship between the archive and the manuscript, Kong questions the apparently natural association between the two. In the light of Kong's historically contextualized and patient exegesis, the ideological nature of the archive, evident in its charge to serve as a totalizing habitat, stands in contrast with the manuscript that resists attempts to contain it. The playful responses of Borges, Puig and Marquez as they mine the "archive" of Cervantes' works support the anti-colonial dimension of Latin American literature and further problematize the relationship between archive and manuscript. The book concludes with a discussion of the future of archival discourse, especially in the setting of the virtual reality of the Internet and of globalization. Carefully grounded by Kong's close readings and supported by a wealth of astute references and allusions to writers as diverse as Virgil, Wordsworth, and Dickens, The Raiders and Writers of Cervantes' Archive is sure to provoke and intrigue Latin American scholars, narrative theorists, archivists, and those interested in issues related to cultural domination, ideology, and cyberspace.
