A highly exciting adventure story featuring James Schuyler Grim,
better known as Jimgrim. Jimgrim is an American secret service
agent employed by the British and stationed in Jerusalem. With him
are his faithful sikh shadow, Narayan Singh, as well as Ramsden, an
American, and Jeremy Ross, an ex-soldier of the Australian forces,
both eager for a fight of any kind. This opportunity soon presents
itself, as the ambitions of the French in Syria arouse the enmity
of King Feisal of the Arabs. For his aid in WWI, the Allies
promised Feisal the kingship of Syria, Palestine, and
Trans-Jordania. This promise they have not kept, however, and the
French are out to discredit or kill the Arab chieftain. To further
their ends, an order is forged, ostensibly from Feisal to his Arab
adherents, which calls for a massacre of the Jews in Jerusalem.
When this message is intercepted, Jimgrim swings into action.
With Ramsden and Ross as volunteers, he matches wits and weapons
with the powerful plotters who are financed by the French. With a
considerable amount of little-known historical truth worked into
the background, Affair in Araby is one of the most colorful,
fast-moving, and exciting of Talbot Mundy's "Jimgrim" stories.

In 2020, a large creature rampages through Tokyo, destroying

from a huge family in Nagoya, is kidnapped for ransom-and not a

must work together to survive. But there's more to her kidnapper
and this storm than meets the eye. After driving away "that thing"
that appeared off the coast of Japan, Asa returns home to questions
and speculation from her siblings and friends and a warning from
Kinuyo-no more dangerous flying! Meanwhile, Jissoji goes to the
hospital to visit the prime minister, who not only knows about
Asa-he believes the fate of Japan rests on her shoulders! At the
prime minster's insistence, Asa is told to be ready to spring into
action at any time.

as the villain, whereas his secret lover Shige garners all the
prime princely roles. As their careers advance, can these two
endure all eyes being on them not just in public but in private
too? Shige has landed a costarring role on a TV drama with Tatara,
a veteran actor who happens to know of his secret relationship with
fellow actor Shin. And because of Shige's lack of confidence in his
own acting skills, Tatara issues him an ultimatum-either make this
role his signature performance or stop dragging Shin down and end
their relationship. Shige has a hard time accepting that other men
also care about Shin, but he knows he must do whatever it takes to
stand by Shin's side as his equal!
A romance of convenience between two college women soon becomes the

in small-town Japan made finding the right match
difficult-especially since she likes girls! Even going away to
college didn't seem to help, until one day her outgoing classmate
Saeko suggests they might as well start dating each other since
it's not like either of them has other options. Getting over an ex
is hard, especially when you're still sleeping with them! It takes
Miwa and Saeko a while to let go of that final aspect of their
relationship, but now they are both ready to move on and give new
love a chance.
Nothing about Saitama passes the eyeball test when it comes to
superheroes, from his lifeless expression to his bald head to his
unimpressive physique. However, this average-looking guy has a
not-so-average problem - he just can't seem to find an opponent
strong enough to take on! Every time a promising villain appears,
he beats the snot out of 'em with one punch! Can Saitama finally
find an opponent who can go toe-to-toe with him and give his life
some meaning? Or is he doomed to a life of superpowered boredom?
