What the public has known about assassination of Abraham Lincoln
for nearly 150 years isn't history, but fiction, and an unsolved
crime. In 1977, a document was discovered which revealed that no
fewer than six Union spies had infiltrated associates of John
Wilkes Booth months prior to his assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
History writers since 1977 have failed to include the names,
descriptions and roles of these secret agents, presumably because
this information didn't seem to fit the prevailing understanding of
the assassination.
This document was created by the War Department in 1865, but was
hidden from the conspirators' trial and the public, and was
believed to be destroyed. It was just one of many pieces of
evidence deliberately withheld to ensure Lincoln's assassination
would appear to be the work of Confederate agents. To the contrary
and before two years had passed, every alleged Confederate
mastermind behind Booth (Davis, Johnson, Surratt) had been found by
courts and Congress to have played no role in the deed. Yet the
Confederate conspiracy theory prevailed.
In this most important book, Don Thomas explodes the numerous
myths that have been circulated since 1865, and concretely
identifies the faction of Union government officials who engineered
Lincoln's death and its cover-up. It can be known, for the first
time, clearly, even in their own words, what made these men believe
Abraham Lincoln had to die.
This astonishing book reveals: The architects of Lincoln's
assassination and their political motives How the Civil War was
extended nearly a year in order to achieve a political goal
Multiple Union agents within Booth's gang, including their names,
descriptions and roles How the crime was covered up and the guilty
parties protected Damning evidence other historians have overlooked
or chosen to ignore.
The world of Mythas is in transition. The old gods are near
forgotten and a palpable tension hangs in the air. This is
especially apparent to two young magic casting brothers, Lawrence
and Hesikiah, raised by a father who was a War Mage of the highest
caliber and a mother whose shrewd diplomacy helped to forge the
alliances of the five great nations to the West. Even with a
lineage such as this, neither brother could have imagined the role
they and the other valiant heroes soon to join them would play on
the world stage. Or that their coming had been foretold in a series
of ancient prophecies. Pro Se Productions presents THE BROTHERS
JADE, an exciting tale of fantasy and magic by author Don Thomas.
Set on the landscape of his own imagination, Thomas creates a cast
of characters that not only stand sword to shield with other
fantasy creations, but also carry humanity in their every action.
THE BROTHERS JADE is as much a story of family and heroism and
loyalty as it is of monsters, mages, and battle. Both a quest tale
and a rousing adventures, THE BROTHERS JADE brings out another
aspect that is often overlooked in Fantasy works. It is also a
coming of age tale sat against the stark backdrop of intrigue and
adventure, action and danger. A rousing adventure for any fan of
Fantasy. THE BROTHERS JADE by Don Thomas from Pro Se Productions,
the leader in New Pulp and Genre Fiction.

2020 Space Hipsters Prize for Best Book in Astronomy, Space
Exploration, or Space History Come Fly with Us is the story
of an elite group of space travelers who flew as members of many
space shuttle crews from pre-Challenger days to Columbia in 2003.
Not part of the regular NASA astronaut corps, these professionals
known as “payload specialists” came from a wide variety of
backgrounds and were chosen for an equally wide variety of
scientific, political, and national security reasons. Melvin Croft
and John Youskauskas focus on this special fraternity of
spacefarers and their individual reflections on living and working
in space. Relatively unknown to the public and often flying only
single missions, these payload specialists give the reader an
unusual perspective on the experience of human spaceflight. The
authors also bring to light NASA’s struggle to integrate the
wide-ranging personalities and professions of these men and women
into the professional astronaut ranks. While Come Fly with Us
relates the experiences of the payload specialists up to and
including the Challenger tragedy, the authors also detail the later
high-profile flights of a select few, including Barbara Morgan,
John Glenn (who returned to space at the age of seventy-seven), and
Ilan Ramon of Israel aboard Columbia on its final, fatal flight,
STS-107. Â Purchase the audio edition.
Shattered Dreams delves into the personal stories and recollections
of several men and women who were in line to fly a specific or
future space mission but lost that opportunity due to personal
reasons, mission cancellations, or even tragedies. While some of
the subjects are familiar names in spaceflight history, the
accounts of others are told here for the first time. Colin Burgess
features spaceflight candidates from the United States, Russia,
Indonesia, Australia, and Great Britain. Shattered Dreams brings to
new life such episodes and upheavals in spaceflight history as the
saga of the three Apollo missions that were cancelled due to
budgetary constraints and never flew; NASA astronaut Patricia
Hilliard Robertson, who died of burn injuries after her airplane
crashed before she had a chance to fly into space; and a female
cosmonaut who might have become the first journalist to fly in
space. Another NASA astronaut was preparing to fly an Apollo
mission before he was diagnosed with a disqualifying illness. There
is also the amazing story of the pilot who could have bailed out of
his damaged aircraft but held off while heroically avoiding a
populated area and later applied to NASA to fulfill his cherished
dream of becoming an astronaut despite having lost both legs in the
accident. These are the incredibly human stories of competitive
realists fired with an unquenchable passion. Their accounts reveal
in their own words—and those of others close to them—how their
shared ambition would go awry through personal accidents, illness,
the Challenger disaster, death, or other circumstances. Â
