Reborn time and again throughout the ages, one soul struggles
through loss and horror towards enlightenment. Sometimes hero,
sometimes villain, he is always the touchstone upon which humanity
will be judged, a scapegoat, a prisoner, a victim...an Everyman.
This is a fantasy story told through numerous historical ages, from
a medieval morality play to an impossible enlightenment prison and
beyond.
The stories of myth and legend tell of a mighty battle fought on
the field of Camlann, a final battle where father and son clashed
at the heads of two titanic armies, where the last chapter of King
Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table was finally played out.
This is, of course, a lie. The final days of Camelot were far
darker, far stranger and far more deadly than any bard has ever
told, and Camlann was only the beginning. As Lancelot returned, as
Guinevere was reinstated as Queen, and as Arthur sought for one
last time to heal the land that it was his birthright to protect, a
brooding menace grew in strength threatening to tear the kingdom
apart forever. In the last days of the Age of Magic a menace would
come that none foresaw, and against whom not even the fabled
Knights of the Round Table could survive. A menace known only as
Merlin...

This book features a series of short stories under the theme of
'the last' that are written and illustrated by the team of Rocco
Bosco and Darran Jordan. The last soldier faces a different kind of
war, the last bullet is fired in an attempt to save lives, the last
supper is served to a changeable beast and the last flower finally
blooms. These are experimental black and white comics that play
with the poetic to deliver their haunting tales.
Building the foundation to a solid relationship can be compared to
laying the foundation on a new home. The ground floor needs to be
sturdy enough to accommodate the many rooms it will support.
Building this foundation takes time and preparation to withstand
both minor and major tremors. So it is with the relationship you
build. No architect would think of constructing a home without a
detailed blueprint to guide and manage the process, which is also
true in dating. After reading "Building your Relationship Home,"
you will be better prepared to absorb any unexpected jolts or
unplanned stormy weather, and gain a clear understanding of your
relationship (home).

There are heroes among us...or at least there were. After a
meteorite shower imbued people with amazing powers the world became
a strange and colourful place, but they have all vanished now,
leaving only memories. When Shard Industries is attacked by Data
Pirates it is up to Erik Neptune to grasp the mantle that his
father had worn and become the hero Helm - for without a hero
nothing can save them. But whether he has powers or not, Erik has
little chance against the forces gathering to oppose him, forces
with plans to manipulate the entire human race...
The Years Gone Bye takes you back to a time when . . . a thong was
something you wore on your feet a blackberry was something you ate
and mini skirts raised eyebrows Elvis was drafted into the army
Archie called Edith a "dingbat" and Forrest Gump became a household
name America landed on the moon divers found the Titanic after 73
years and the police chased a white Bronco down the LA Freeway
These snippets are just a few threads of the thousands of strands
of pop culture and history that weave this book into a tapestry of
the last half-century.
Comedy, romance, and adventure collide when germ-phobic film
professor B.B. Marlowe comes to the rescue of his brightest
student, Denise Brigham, and ends up caught in a treacherous plot
involving terrorists and the U.S. government.
After Marlowe is caught on video supposedly killing a man,
Denise and Marlowe have no choice but to flee Washington D.C. and
embark on a voyage fraught with danger and peril. And when Marlowe
discovers just what Denise is involved with-her father is a Secret
Service agent who has mysteriously disappeared-he realizes his life
might very well be on the line.
Racing across the country with police and deadly assassins on
their tail, it's only by using their vast knowledge of Hollywood
movies that the two are able to remain a step ahead of their
pursuers. The journey takes them from a violent confrontation at
the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. to a breathless climax atop
the faux Manhattan skyline of the New York, New York Hotel in Las
Vegas, where love may help Marlowe conquer all-if it doesn't get
him killed first.
Brimming with suspense and action, Hitchcocked is a non-stop
thrill ride from talented Hollywood insiders Hal Spear and Rocco
Simonelli.

Quinine: The Jesuits discovered it. The Protestants feared it. The
British vied with the Dutch for it, and the Nazis seized it.
Because of quinine, medicine, warfare, and exploration were changed
forever.
For more than one thousand years, there was no cure for malaria.
In 1623, after ten cardinals and hundreds of their attendants died
in Rome while electing Urban VII the new pope, he announced that a
cure must be found. He encouraged Jesuit priests establishing new
missions in Asia and in South America to learn everything they
could about how the local people treated the disease, and in 1631,
an apothecarist in Peru named Agostino Salumbrino dispatched a new
miracle to Rome. The cure was quinine, an alkaloid made from the
bitter red bark of the cinchona tree.
From the quest of the Englishmen who smuggled cinchona seeds out
of South America to the way in which quinine opened the door to
Western imperial adventure in Asia, Africa, and beyond, and to
malaria's effects even today, award-winning author Fiammetta Rocco
deftly chronicles the story of this historically ravenous
disease.
John takes an early retirement and decides to pursue an old hobby
of his...looking for the elusive Third Curve in a woman s calf. He

want to help in his quest. As the group becomes more acquainted
John decides to help Susan achieve her dream of a political career.
He and the fearsome foursome join forces and move to Arizona to
become Susan's campaign managers.
