Caesar het 'n boek geskryf! Ja, sowaar! Hy het sy kommentare oor
die Galliese oorlog neergepen. Maar sy slinkse uitgewer, Sinus
Apocrivus, het ander planne met die manuskrip. Is Caesar se
“Kommentare oor die Galliese oorlog” nog volledig, en hoekom word
die kopiiste skielik opgesluit? Is dit dalk omdat hulle iets weet
wat die res van Gallie nie mag weet nie, en wat die hele ryk gaan
skud? Wanneer een van die kopiiste ontsnap met 'n papirusrol onder
die arm, is die gort gaar!

'The Call of the Wild' is one of Jack London's most popular novels.
The story follows a dog named Buck, a 140lb Saint Bernard and
Scotch Shepard mix. Buck is abducted from a comfortable life as a
pet and tossed into the chaos of the Klondike Gold Rush and the
brutal realities of frontier life. Buck changes hands a number of
times before landing in the kindly hands of John Thornton. Thornton
takes ownership of Buck from a trio of ignorant stampeders, intent
upon making a dangerous river crossing. Buck refuses to cross,
despite a vicious beating. Thornton recognizes the dogs
intelligence and strength. He steps in to claim the dog and nurses
Buck back to health. But Buck is forever changed by the treatment
he has received at the hands of other men. Jack London spent a year
living in the Yukon and drew heavily upon his experiences there
while writing the book. He later said, "It was in the Klondike that
I found myself."
Experience the first in the epic series featuring the brave members of
Omega Squad--an elite team of clone commandos--fighting to protect the
Galactic Republic.
On a mission to sabotage a chemical weapon research facility on a
Separatist-held planet, four clone troopers operate under the very
noses of their enemies. The commandos are outnumbered and outgunned,
deep behind enemy lines with no backup-and working with strangers
instead of trusted teammates. Matters don't improve when Darman, the
squad's demolitions expert, gets separated from the others during
planetfall. Even Darman's apparent good luck in meeting an
inexperienced Padawan vanishes once Etain admits to her woeful naivety.
For the separated clone commandos and stranded Jedi, a long, dangerous
journey lies ahead, through hostile territory brimming with Trandoshan
slavers, Separatists, and suspicious natives. A single misstep could
mean discovery . . . and death. It's a virtual suicide mission for
anyone-anyone except Republic Commandos.
