He had long ago forgotten his real name; or maybe he just didn’t want to remember it. If he remembered his name, then he would have to admit to himself that he was once somebody. That, he was sure, would snap any resemblance of sanity he had left. The only thing that kept him from throwing himself off the Golden Gate Bridge was the voices. They soothed him, and kept him company. Through the pain of years of begging, stealing, and beating people for what he needed, only the voices gave him a constant sense of comfort and direction. They never judged, but they encouraged him to do what he needed to do to survive. They understood what it took to survive in an ugly and pretentious world.

Blood claimed Ben's white t-shirt. Heavily and slowly, deep red spread throughout every fiber of it. Bewildered and stuck in my position, I cried out to him in my mind, my heart. I tried to breathe. Struggled to find his name with my tongue...finally I inhaled and reached for him, "Ben!" He stumbled back and tipped over the edge of the boat, into the danger of the deep blue sea. A single tear dribbled down my cheek. The black of night woefully whispered the sorrows of his death. And I, I did something I would have never done. I stood determined to save him and ripped the orange vest from my chest. I ran, ignoring my mother screeching my name, "Eva, no!"--I dove in after Ben. I jumped into the deep blue...I would never return.

Read the story that turned children into warriors, and warriors into legends.
The Dairne-Reih haven’t been seen in Dionia for generations—their kind and their king, Morgui, banished long ago from haunting paradise. But when creation shows signs of deterioration, the kings of the seven realms converge in the sacred Gvindollion gathering to arrive at one inexplicable conclusion: Morgui has returned.
In the hopes of entrusting Dionia’s brave history and perilous future to a generation that has never known war, the kings decide to raise up their young sons as an elite group of warriors, known only as the Dibor.
Gorn, legendary hero of the First Battle, is commissioned to teach the Dibor the art of war, leading them on a four-year adventure on the Isle of Kirstell. It is Luik, son of Lair, who soon emerges as the warband’s spirited front man. But he is not the only one of his peers to grow in power; his dear friend Fane discovers hidden abilities among the Mosfar under the mentorship of Li-Saide of Ot, while Princess Anorra finds that her lifelong tutor knows as much about combat as he does about etiquette.
There is little time for the Dibor to enjoy the satisfaction of graduation, however, as a sinister plot is discovered to dethrone Dionia’s kings and flatten the capital city of Adriel. The Dibor are summoned to war, along with the rest of Dionia’s fighting men. It is before the gates of Adriel Palace that Luik and his army face Morgui's prince, Valdenil, as well as the unending ranks of the Dairne-Reih.

"A shocking glimpse into post-Obama America..."Years after the financial crash of 2008, America stumbles from crisis to crisis and continues to slog through the mire of the Great Recession.
National healthcare is finally a reality, but has brought with it unintended consequences for the sick, the unwanted, and the growing ranks of the elderly. Political assassinations and bombings have become all too common in the nation's capital. Elected officials rarely leave the safety of the Green Zone that surrounds the Capitol Complex.
America's Day of Reckoning - Debt Day - when the U.S. Treasury must borrow just to make the interest payments is less than a year away. Taxes at every level of government continue to rise, further crippling the free market mechanisms of small business and private enterprise.
With the passage of the Tolerance in Religion and Media Acts (TIRMA), churches have been forced to register and submit to content monitors, surrendering their rights to assemble and speak freely. The tea-parties and talk-radio - the last voices of opposition to the ever-expanding powers of Washington D.C. - have been all but silenced from the political process.
The Spirit of America has been broken. For the first time in history, people are leaving her fair shores for bett

Children of a Sunless Land is the first installment in R. Janvier del Valle's "Deaf Swordsman Series", a new dark and magical heroic fantasy adventure.
"The man was a marriage of monk and savage, of scholar and assassin...a brute at times; he had a touch of the pagan barbarian...yet was the brightest of philosophers and had the grace of a spirited healer. On a quest to find his missing child, he took to a higher calling, driven by something greater, as if that one mission was just an excuse to truly enact his divine destiny. Restless and sour as the dank, gray air of the moon, he was reliable in only one respect--he was wired since birth to destroy evil--in all manners, in all forms. This was the deaf swordsman, Vohro Vahllenu--the man with nine blades."
Told in serial form, "Children of a Sunless Land" is a collection of one short story and two novellas featuring the fantastical deaf swordsman, Vohro Vahllenu. These three stories are just the beginning of a sprawling epic of good and evil, bringing together the supernatural and weird, featuring dark fantasy adventures sure to resonate with both the hardcore and casual reader of sword and sorcery literature.
The stories begin and end in chaos, promising the reader a wild ride through the darkest bowels of the imagination, yet offering moments of deep reflection. Here are the terror-in

Imagine yourself being America’s oldest elected sheriff at a time when the world’s economy has collapsed, the federal government cannot pay its obligations, Social Security benefits have stopped, government workers are laid off, America is experiencing its first true food shortage, the nation is on the brink of anarchy, there is stress in your family, and suddenly a judge issues a court order for you to arrest your own pastor and to auction off your own church for collection of back taxes.
The questions are:
Could you obey those court orders?
Would you obey them?
Will Sheriff John A. Turner obey them?
That is the sudden reality of this book’s main character, Sheriff John A. Turner, an aged Baby Boomer who has been a cop his entire adult life. He has outlived both his children. He and his wife are now raising a militant, gay, grandson who hates everything his grandparents believes in.
To make matters worse Sheriff Turner has witnessed the downfall of his beloved America, holding onto personal memories of when his country was at the zenith of global power and wealth. Now, he watches as the TSA methodically disarms the citizens of a nation that used to be FREE. The once proud and strong USA has been reduced to a whimpering, castrated, welfare society with few true men left standing.
Twenty years ago an ex-cop named Jim E. Reames authored that exact scenario and self-published the novel Valley of the Dry Bones as a hardback. In that book he predicted what he thought America would be like in the year 2015. GBA2015 documents how many of his predictions came true, and where the nation appears to be headed between now and the year 2020 A.D.
GBA2015 is a tough book that’s well worth reading, as Sheriff John A. Turner stands to face the wind of politically correct social engineering makeover like a tree on a hill, facing an angry dragon from the sea of change.

"This is a combined edition, which includes Book One, Book Two, and Book Three. THE HISTORY: Over five thousand years ago, a renegade faction of angels abandoned the spiritual realm and began their inhabitation of earth. Worshiped as gods for their wisdom and power, they corrupted the realm of the physical and forever altered the course of history. THE PROPHECY: Amidst the chaos of a dying world, a lone voice foretold the awakening of a warrior who would bring an end to this evil perpetrated against all of creation. But with the cataclysmic destruction of earth and rebirth of humanity, the prophecy went unfulfilled and eventually faded from the memory of our kind—until now! THE AWAKENED: The physical dimension is fractured. What remain now are numerous fragmented worlds moving simultaneously through time, sharing a common history, connected only by a guarded portal. On a parallel earth, a child is rescued from prison and trained in the arts of war by a mystical order of clerics. When he returns to his home in search of his family, he becomes entangled in a brutal conspiracy to gain control of the Empire. Racing to unravel the secrecy of the enemy’s identity and motive, he is haunted by the memories of his past and drawn by the destiny that awaits him. In this combined edition (Book One, Book Two, and Book Three) of his debut series, Jason Tesar delves into the heart of an ancient legend, launching an epic saga that will journey from earth’s mythological past to its post-apocalyptic future, blending the genres of fantasy, sci-fi, and military/political suspense."

From before the Dawn of Man, good and evil have battled on the Earth. As humans progressed from Eden to the skies and to space, Azrael watched over humanity — teaching, guiding, and protecting the Children of Earth.
The Enemy, imprisoned on Earth for their rebellion, carry out the Master’s plan to end their bondage and take the war to a new front — a pristine ‘cradle’ world where suffering and war are not known. Using the Emperor of Earth and the resources of his vast empire to build mankind’s first starship, the Enemy weaves a plot that spans generations, and threatens two sentient races.
In Book One, Azrael enlists Father Bożydar Jofre, a Jesuit priest, and Kavan Ferre, a brilliant physicist, to prevent the Enemy from escaping to the stars. Joined by an unlikely group of space pirates, Azrael leads an epic race across the solar system to halt the Enemy before their great migration can begin.
THE WATCHERS OF UR: CRADLE will take you from Earth to Mars, Europa, Titan, and beyond on an epic journey filled with fast-paced action, gripping human drama, and stunning glimpses of the future of Mankind.
---------------------------
From political intrigue to divine intervention; from a monastery on Mars to a city locked under the ice on Europa; from the Emperor of Earth to a space-pirate that fights for freedom; from religious axioms that have stood the test of time to cutting-edge theories that test the very fabric of reality, this is science fiction on a truly titanic scale. Fowler blends epic military sci-fi with inspired Christian philosophy, and sets his bold story over the colossal backdrop of the Angelic Wars. What would it mean if angels and demons influenced humanity’s rise to the stars and beyond? The Watchers Of Ur: Cradle explores some captivating possibilities.

[MP3CD audiobook format in vinyl case.]
[Read by Geoffrey Howard - aka - Ralph Cosham]
Out of the Silent Planet is the first novel from Lewis's Space Trilogy, (also called the Cosmic Trilogy and the Ransom Trilogy,) considered to be his chief contribution to the science-fiction genre. A planetary romance with elements of medieval mythology, the trilogy concerns Dr. Ransom, a linguist who, like Christ, is offered as a ransom for mankind. On a walking tour of the English countryside, Ransom falls in with some slightly shady characters from his old University and wakes up suddenly to find himself naked in a metal ball in the middle of the light-filled heavens. He learns that he is on his way to a world called Malacandra by its natives, who also call our world Thulcandra...the Silent Planet. The Malacandrans see planets as having a tutelary spirit: those of the other planets are good and accessible, but that of Earth is fallen and twisted.
