Book Description
The non-fiction book, "Life Under Tyranny" provides historical information about life under a tyrannical government. Newly available released documents from Ukrainian Archives in Odessa, Ukraine, detail the atrocities Soviet leaders Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin perpetrated on ethnic Germans living in Ukraine, covering the years from the Russian Revolution to the beginning of World War II. Goldade, with the assistance of associates in Odessa, Ukraine, has retrieved numerous documents from Ukrainian archives covering this dark era. Peter Goldade's Life Under Tyranny sheds new light on Soviet confiscation of property, deprivations inflicted, and the kangaroo courts that sentenced untold numbers of people to prison, hard labor, gulags-or execution.

Book Description
It seemed it must be fate, destiny, or some divine plan that brought four very different travelers together in their struggle to survive what should have been a routine trip to Rome. Driven by events, these new friends and their family members come to play pivotal roles at a focal point in the history of Western civilization. The winds that spread a great fire across Rome also carried embers as far as Judea, where they threatened to ignite a conflict that would forever change the world for Jews and Christians.This first novel in this series is set in a backdrop of secret tunnels and assassins-the dreaded Sicarii could strike faster than lightning and blend back into the crowd just as quickly. Even hardened Roman Mercenaries were no match for them.In between historical events of that time there's the story of the people involved. You get to meet them in Cry for Jerusalem.

Book Description
A thrilling Cold War narrative of superpower showdowns, media suppression, and two escape tunnels beneath the Berlin Wall. In the summer of 1962, the year after the rise of the Berlin Wall, a group of young West Germans risked prison, Stasi torture, and even death to liberate friends, lovers, and strangers in East Berlin by digging tunnels under the Wall. Then two U.S. television networks heard about the secret projects and raced to be first to document them from the inside. NBC and CBS funded two separate tunnels in return for the right to film the escapes, planning spectacular prime-time specials. President John F. Kennedy, however, was wary of anything that might spark a confrontation with the Soviets, having said, “A wall is better than a war,” and even confessing to Secretary of State Dean Rusk, “We don’t care about East Berlin.” JFK approved unprecedented maneuvers to quash both documentaries, testing the limits of a free press in an era of escalating nuclear tensions. As Greg Mitchell’s riveting narrative unfolds, we meet extraordinary characters: the legendary cyclist who became East Germany’s top target for arrest; the Stasi informer who betrays the “CBS tunnel”; the American student who aided the escapes; an engineer who would later help build the tunnel under the English channel; and the young East Berliner who fled with her baby, then married one of the tunnelers. The Tunnels captures the chilling reach of the Stasi secret police as U.S. networks prepared to “pay for play” but were willing to cave to official pressure, the White House was eager to suppress historic coverage, and ordinary people in dire circumstances became subversive. The Tunnels is breaking history, a propulsive read whose themes still reverberate.

Book Description
The epic, magical saga of royalty, romance, and violence continues. A princess. A soldier. A servant. A demon hunter. A thief. When we last saw them, this unlikely group was heading into the Northern Territory of the kingdom of Pitoria, on the run from the sadistic and power-hungry King Aloysius of Brigant. The Smoke Thieves have discovered that demon smoke is not only an illegal drug used for pleasure, but in fact, when taken by children, demon smoke briefly gives its users super-human strength. Aloysius' plan is simple and brutal: kill the demons for their smoke, and use that smoke to build an unstoppable army of children to take over Pitoria, Calidor, and then the rest of the world. The Smoke Thieves are the only ones who understand this plan--but can they stop it? Catherine, Aloysius' daughter, is seen as a traitor from all sides; Tash is heartbroken after the loss of her one friend and sees nothing left for her in the human world; Edyon is wanted for murder; March is carrying the secret of his betrayal of his new love; Ambrose is out for revenge--and all the while, the demons have plans of their own...
