The Secret of the Spear
The spear used by Longinus, the Roman centurion, to pierce the side of Christ as he hung on the cross has long been believed to be an object of great supernatural and occult power, with the capacity for good or evil. It has been sought by the most powerful figures in history, who have believed that its power, as the Spear of Destiny, can change history. The spear's history from the Dark Ages to the Twentieth century is a dark one, of mystery and death. Alec Maclellan tracks the spear from mention in the Bible through sagas of the Middle Ages to its last known resting place, as a prized possession of Adolf Hitler

On the Precipice
Nominated for the 2013 PushkinHouse/Waterstone's Russian Book Prize. Like some astronomers, who discover cosmic objects not by direct observation, but by watching the deviations of known heavenly bodies from their calculated trajectories, Peter Mezhiritsky makes his findings in history through thoughtful reading and the comparison of historical sources. This book, a unique blend of prosaic literature and shrewd historic analysis, is dedicated to events in Soviet history in light of Marshal Zhukov's memoirs. Exhaustive knowledge of Soviet life, politics and censorship, including the phraseology in which Communist statesmen were allowed to narrate their biographical events, gave Peter Mezhirit...
Paris Green
Paris Green is a story about love after death. It is a sort of prose poem dedicated to the triumph of the soul in its release from the clutches of grief. The time is the 1980s, the place is the North Side of Chicago. It is the love story of a disbelieving earthling and a hopeful fallen angel who find each other by chance of queer serendipity. The author, a native of Chicago, now lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.

1936--ON THE CONTINENT
Three years before the start of WWII, Eugene Fodor published his first guidebook, 1936–-On the Continent–The Entertaining Travel Annual. Fodor's goal was to create a fun-to-read, annually updated guidebook about Europe that emphasized the people and culture of a country--a radical change from the traditional guidebook approach. Seventy-five years later, On the Continentgives readers a nostalgic glimpse and sentimental grand tour of pre-WWII Europe. Today, Fodor's is one of the world's largest and most trusted brands in travel, covering more than 600 destinations worldwide in guidebooks, on Fodors.com, in ebooks and iPhone apps.
Case White
No work of fiction or nonfiction has done what CASE WHITE does in this monumental new novel by USA Today Best-selling author Thomas Sullivan. Set in the era of two world wars, this comprehensive work weaves together the bizarre mythology and eccentric beliefs that explain how a nation went insane for 12 years. Told through the compelling lives and loves of a pair of very unique characters, this tour de force will take you into a radical blend of religion and myth frighteningly similar to what is going on in parts of the world today. Certain to be a benchmark work of elegantly written fiction and historical perspective, CASE WHITE delivers a poignant people story played out on a grand stage.
Das deutsche Narrenschiff
Die täglichen Talkshow-Inszenierungen einer überkorrekten Erregungsgesellschaft, in denen »Instant-Moral« als Politikersatz gepredigt wird, geben fast stündlich Zeugnis von der zunehmenden Verdummung unserer »Wissensgesellschaft«, die so bereitwillig akzeptiert wird. Und doch gärt es in vielen Menschen. »Die Welt will belogen sein«, heißt es dazu schon im Narrenschiff von Sebastian Brant aus dem Jahr 1494. Im realen Leben zerfällt die Infrastruktur genauso wie das Bildungssystem. Unser Steuersystem gilt weltweit als Irrwitz, unser Volksvermögen wird in Brüssel verpfändet, die »Political Correctness« schreibt uns vor, was wir denken und sagen dürfen, und allzu viele Bürger ...
