Book Description
In this “inventive and affecting” historical young adult novel, a black girl and a white boy are pawns in a magical game between Love and Death (Publishers Weekly). Flora and Henry were born a few blocks from each other, innocent of the forces that might keep a white boy and an African American girl apart; years later they meet again and their mutual love of music sparks an even more powerful connection. But what Flora and Henry don’t know is that they are pawns in a game played by the eternal adversaries Love and Death, here brilliantly reimagined as two extremely sympathetic and fascinating characters. Can their hearts and their wills overcome not only their earthly circumstances, but forces that have battled throughout history? In the rainy Seattle of the 1920’s, romance blooms among the jazz clubs, the mansions of the wealthy, and the shanty towns of the poor. But what is more powerful: love? Or death? “Race, class, fate and choice—they join Love and Death to play their parts in Brockenbrough’s haunting and masterfully orchestrated narrative.” —Kirkus Reviews

Book Description
The sixth installment of Bernard Cornwell’s New York Times bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England, “like Game of Thrones, but real” (The Observer, London)—the basis for The Last Kingdom, the hit television series. As the ninth century wanes, Alfred the Great lies dying, his lifelong goal of a unified England in peril, his kingdom on the brink of chaos. Though his son, Edward, has been named his successor, there are other Saxon claimants to the throne—as well as ambitious pagan Vikings to the north. Torn between his vows to Alfred and the desire to reclaim his long-lost ancestral lands in the north, Uhtred, Saxon-born and Viking-raised, remains the king’s warrior but has sworn no oath to the crown prince. Now he must make a momentous decision that will forever transform his life and the course of history: to take up arms—and Alfred’s mantle—or lay down his sword and let his liege’s dream of a unified kingdom die along with him.

Book Description
The accused: Thirteen-year-old Derek King and his twelve-year-old brother, Alex, Sunday school students with choirboy looks. The victim: Their own father. After midnight on November 26, 2001, someone bludgeoned Terry King to death while he slept, and set his Florida home afire. By the time the firefighters extinguished the blaze, King’s sons, Alex, twelve, and Derek, thirteen, were at the home of their forty-year-old friend, Ricky Chavis, a convicted child-molester. By the next afternoon, following confessions, both boys were charged as adults in their father’s slaying. Chavis was tried separately for the same crime—incredibly by the same attorney who would prosecute Alex and Derek, and argue two contradictory theories. When Alex divulged his sexual relationship with Chavis, the trial took a sensational turn. So did Alex and Derek, who recanted their confession and blamed Chavis to no avail. A jury convicted the boys of second-degree murder, but the judge threw the verdict out. Chavis was acquitted. But the case wasn’t over. As more disturbing revelations came to light, as criminal motives became more complex, and as the line between guilt and innocence was crossed, a stunned nation watched in disbelief to learn the ultimate fate of the . . . Angels of Death.

Book Description
As the war in Europe winds down, a unit of battle-fatigued GIs are tasked in liberating the survivors of the infamous Verurteilt concentration camp, in theory a relatively simple rescue mission. Upon arrival, Sergeant Rance Hawkins and his four young charges are ordered to search an unmapped area beyond the main camp for evidence of a separate, clandestine compound, reportedly created for high-ranking SS officers to further torment and torture. Their quest will eventually lead them into a nearby coal mine, where a young camp survivor claims that her mother and other refugees are being held. Inside the murky caverns, the motley crew of dogfaces discover revelations so terrifying and vile as to make even the inhuman atrocities of Verurteilt seem tame by comparison.

Book Description
When Alexander the Great died at the age of thirty-two, his empire stretched from the Adriatic Sea in the west all the way to modern-day India in the east. In an unusual compromise, his two heirs—a mentally damaged half brother, Philip III, and an infant son, Alexander IV, born after his death—were jointly granted the kingship. But six of Alexander’s Macedonian generals, spurred by their own thirst for power and the legend that Alexander bequeathed his rule “to the strongest,” fought to gain supremacy. Perhaps their most fascinating and conniving adversary was Alexander’s former Greek secretary, Eumenes, now a general himself, who would be the determining factor in the precarious fortunes of the royal family. James Romm, professor of classics at Bard College, brings to life the cutthroat competition and the struggle for control of the Greek world’s greatest empire.

Book Description
The novel Metapeople 2044 by Robert Franklin is a 380-page sequel to George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984 that has been reincarnated into the 21st century, but more bizarrely and extraordinarily. The book is gaining ground amongst readers alike who have found this novel somewhat thrilling and exciting. When we all thought 1984 and its predictions were out of the way since we entered the new millennial era - well, think again, because Metapeople 2044 brings all the highlights to the fore giving you the details and secrets of Big Brother in a more refined manner. When reading Metapeople 2044 you participate in the world of Big Brother and not just grasp the knowledge by reading it. The character Edward Thomas in the novel is partly modeled after the true-life experiences of Robert Franklin concerning a man who works for Big Brother, as well as, the rich and famous as an electronic technician. Suspicion was brought on by some of Bob's holistic and strangely familiar pet projects involving robots and his research into immortality here on planet Earth. Since the age of four Robert Franklin sometimes called Bob by his family has been researching the subject of how to make immortality possible - a desire humans have so far not been able to find the solution. Robert believes that immortality is possible right here on planet Earth is plausible believing wholeheartedly in its future success. Robert Franklin isn't only an impeccable writer with good thought flow of sequence when he picks up the pen and puts ideas on paper, he is also a singer and song writer. In 1981 Bob retitled a song he wrote in 1977 calling it Franklinstein about a robot designed and created to be immortal. Moving forward to the year 1984 Bob introduced Frank Jr. the robot. The demo song Franklinstein is available at www.bobfranklin.com for download under the artist name Bob Franklin. In 1989 Bob began studying physics. Bob believes the answer to his creative ideas can be found in having a thorough foundation in physics. Bob created 1D alpha vector theory and 2D beta theory from scratch which are two ideas in direct competition with the popular physics theories called strings and banes. Since 1991 Bob has worked on a practical photonic design for telescreens and Bob's best new technology called "mind slate technology" based on what Bob calls "tabula mentis theory" which is an idea that Bob created in 1991 to handle the artificial intelligence (AI) portion of Frank Jr's thinking processes. A timeline listed inside the physics book unfolds by the year 2051 with quantum systems in photonics and quantum artificial intelligence as the main accelerants of innovation turning life for humans into immortal virtual digitalized humanoid avatars called metatrons, metapeople, metapersons, metathings, etc. that will exist in 3D simulated virtual reality metaverse spaces. A dystopian real world and an immortal metaverse virtual world ruled by Big Brother will for sure make the seven years between 2044-2051 very interesting to say the least!
