Elysium
Maria and Anthony settle into their new home. Maria is expecting their first child. US President Howard and his wife come to live in Elysium as the America dollar breaks and civil war erupts. America is invaded by foreign troops and unsuspecting Americans are captured and imprisoned to become slaves for the invaders. Another war breaks out in Europe. Russia and China drop a nuclear bomb on Poland and move their tanks to Germany to invade the rest of Europe. European leaders call upon Elysium to come to their aid. Elysium destroys three Russian and Chinese bases in Germany with advanced technology that far surpasses the power of a nuclear weapon. China thinks the attack was faked or a rouze of some kind and threatens to destroy all nations that oppose them with the military and nuclear weapons. Elysium use their weapons against China to prove that these weapons are real, and they lose an entire navel base and three other buildings, including the ambassador’s personal residence. Russia and China cease to make threats of war and pull all their war ships away from America.

British and Irish Paintings in Public Collections
This book sets a new standard as a work of reference. It covers British and Irish art in public collections from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the nineteenth, and it encompasses nearly 9,000 painters and 90,000 paintings in more than 1,700 separate collections. The book includes as well pictures that are now lost, some as a consequence of the Second World War and others because of de-accessioning, mostly from 1950 to about 1975 when Victorian art was out of fashion. By listing many tens of thousands of previously unpublished works, including around 13,000 which do not yet have any form of attribution, this book becomes a unique and indispensable work of reference, one that will transform the study of British and Irish painting.
Judgment on Erebus
Judgment on Erebus is narrative nonfiction at its most compelling and unsettling. Commanded by one of Air New Zealand’s most meticulous and cautious pilots, a sightseeing airliner inexplicably crashes into an active Antarctic volcano in broad daylight, causing the world’s fourth-worst aviation disaster. The New Zealand government’s Office of Air Accidents Investigation soon publishes an official report attributing the disaster to pilot error. Skeptical, an aroused public demands an “independent” official inquiry. Realizing that he badly needs a second investigator to confirm the first one’s findings, an imperious Prime Minister selects for the post a distinguished High Court judg...
