This punk ain’t feelin’ lucky. It’s 2032 and we live in the
worst cyberpunk future. Kiera is gigging her ass off to keep the
lights on, but her polycule’s social score is so dismal they’re
about to lose their crib. That’s why she’s out here chasing
cheaters with Angel Herrera, a luddite P.I. who thinks this is The
Big Sleep. Then the latest job cuts too deep—hired to locate
Herrera’s ex-best friend (who’s also Kiera’s pro bono
attorney), they find him murdered instead. Their only lead: a stick
of Nag Champa incense dropped at the scene. Next thing Kiera knows,
her new crush turns up missing—sans a hand (the real one, not the
cybernetic), and there’s the familiar stink of sandalwood across
the apartment. Two crimes, two sticks of incense, Kiera framed for
both. She told Herrera to lose her number, but now the old man
might be her only way out of this bullshit... A fast-talker with a
heart of gold, Bang Bang Bodhisattva is both an odd-couple buddy
comedy that never knows when to shut up and an exploration of
finding yourself and your people in an ever-mutable world.

Double bill of rauchy comedies by Frankie 'Titter Ye Not' Howerd,
the outrageously camp and bawdy British comic. 'Up Pompeii' (1971)
is the feature length spin-off from the Howerd's television series
about a lazy slave living in ancient Pompeii. When a document falls
into his hands listing the names of those plotting to assassinate
Emperor Nero, he is forced to infiltrate the group. Hilarious
mishaps result. In 'Up The Chastity Belt' (1971) Lurkalot (Frankie
Howerd) is a humble serf in Custard Castle, who runs a side-line
selling chastity belts and love potions at the local market place.
He's called upon to save the day when Sir Braggart De Bombast
attempts to seize the castle and kidnap the beautiful Lobelia De
Custard.
This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the

The War Chief of the Six Nations A Chronicle of Joseph Brant is
volume 16 of the Chronicles of Canada Series. Thayendanegea (Joseph
Brant) (1743 - 1807) was a Mohawk military and political leader who
was associated with Great Britain during and after the American
Revolution. Brant was not born to a leadership role in the Iroquois
League but gained his importance through his connections to British
officials. During the Revolutionary War he led Mohawk and colonial
Loyalists against the Americans. After the war, he moved to Canada,
where he remained a prominent leader.
