After time spent in army barracks and many adventures in North Africa and Palestine, Lieutenant J.H. Wiehe joined the Special Air Services in March 1945.In July 1944, he was seriously wounded and imprisoned by the Nazis as he and his fellow soldiers were parachuted behind enemy lines onto French soil, near La Ferté-Alais. Hyacinthe narrowly escaped execution while in ennemy hands and could only be repatriated to Britain several months after Liberation. He returned to Mauritius paralysed and seriously incapacitated, proud that he had fulfilled his duty, but devastated at having to renounce his marriage to his beloved fiancée Eda.He had to come to terms with the constant pain that his war wounds inflicted upon him. In the course of his terrible sufferings over many years, he was supported by friends and family but particularly by his mother. However, it is through his affliction that he finds deep meaning to his life in a union with Jesus Christ, prayer allowing him to accept his sufferings and to offer it to God. Hyacinthe died in 1965, considered then and now as a hero and a privileged witness of God''s love.On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth, his family chose to make his life and times known to a wider public, to share with the world the writing and message of someone affectionately known as Uncle Hyacinthe. This life-affirming memoir shows there can be light in the darkness of grief, and charts Mikes career as a doctor, forensic medical examiner and police surgeon. This is a true story of life, loss and overcoming adversity.
When a mysterious mosquito-borne virus wipes out a community of indigenous Hawaiians on the tiny Pacific island of Ni''ihau, it has all the hallmarks of a field test of a state-sponsored biological weapon on unwitting human guinea-pigs. Eager to make his mark, the director of MECCAR''s new sister centre in Indonesia solicits Giles''s help to identify the perpetrators. Fiona''s laboratory skills show it to be a Mexican strain of the West Nile virus, a common and usually innocuous species, engineered to carry a permanently active form of the Achilles gene. Having spotted Stephen Salomon at a virology congress in Mexico City when en route to Jakarta, she and Giles waste no time retracing their steps. Molecular analysis of a blood stain from a swatted mosquito in a ship''s cabin, a day trip to the Maya ruins of Palenque, and an encounter with a deserted Mercedes Benz sow the seeds for a 3000 km road journey through rainforest, mountains, and desert in pursuit of the suspects. At the end of their journey, as they follow the flight path of a private jet from Tijuana on Fiona''s smartphone, they know they must act swiftly and boldly if they are to avert a humanitarian disaster.
After returning to a hero''s welcome in Magdalen College, the drama of Stockholm behind him, Giles is tormented by doubts. Was Ahmad Sharif''s death in Sorrento really an accident, as the Carabinieri concluded, or was the truth more sinister? Were the two girls with Stephen Salomon at the symposium his latest research fellows, as he claimed, or there for a very different purpose? And what of Fiona''s long-held suspicions about their young assistant Aram? Given what she''d just found in her laptop, wasn''t it time to start taking them seriously? When MECCAR''s director Rashid Yamani unexpectedly invites Giles to Paris to suggest the true source of the DNA switch for Achilles, Giles sets off to Munich in pursuit of the evidence. But Fiona is not convinced. Left to herself, she hatches an ingenious alternative. Though at first reluctant to accept its plausibility, Giles is persuaded by what he finds after hurriedly returning to Sorrento. When Fiona''s laboratory work provides another piece of the jigsaw, and Giles translates the content of an old discarded fax in Arabic that she had found in Washington, everything falls into place. But before they can make the next move, Giles must resolve an awesome ethical dilemma.
The discovery of the Achilles gene by Ahmad Sharif at the Middle East Centre for Cancer and AIDS Research (MECCAR), recently opened in Jordan''s remote Wadi Rum desert, had stunned Western scientists. Each gene having the potential to destroy its own cell should it ever become cancerous, the discovery had promised a universal cure for the disease. But there was a hitch. Although every one of our cells has the gene, only those of a unique Bedouin tribe have the extra piece of DNA needed to turn it on. Dr Stephen Salomon of the US National Cancer Institute claims to have invented such a switch, for which he will soon receive the Nobel Prize. But maverick Oxford don Giles Butterfield suspects his American friend''s invention might be fraudulent. After a sleepless night in his office in Magdalen College, he sets off for Heathrow in search of the truth. When his young assistant Fiona Cameron unexpectedly joins him in Washington, it is the start of a globetrotting adventure the outcome of which exceeds their wildest expectations, presenting Giles with a dilemma of epic proportions.Best Medical Thriller of 2021, BestThrillers.com

Had he been living a separate life she knew nothing about?While she searches for Frank with generous support from Zellweger's wife Marthe, the story of Eigenmann gradually emerges: the drama of a man possessed, exiled in a border town beset by the bullying behaviour of its Nazi neighbours in the late 1930s and drawn by the allure of a beautiful woman. But was this all a figment of Frank's imagination? Only after his funeral is it brought home to Ellen that she was offered a clue to unlocking this mystery from the outset.

स्वर्ग गर्भ, बचपन और भूतकाल का रूपक है। यह बचपन के उन खूबसूरत दिनों में वापस लौटने की उत्कंठा है जो पूर्णरूपेण चिंताओं से रहित और जिम्मेदारियों से विमुक्त व्यतीत हुए थे। हमारे परिजन हमारी देखभाल करते थे, हमें सुरक्षा प्रदान करते थे और उनसे हमें भरपूर प्रेम और स्नेह मिलता था। वे हमें भोजन कराते थे, कपड़े पहनाते थे और उनके द्वारा हम जीवन के खतरों से सुरक्षित थे; वस्तुतः हम अपने स्वप्निल संसार में आनंदमग्न थे।वहीं, पुनर्जन्म का अभिप्राय जीवन, वयस्कता और भविष्य से है। हम समय को पीछे नहीं ले जा सकते, हम भूतकाल में नहीं जी सकते। वास्तविक जीवन से भागना समाधान नहीं है। हमें 'घोंसले' से बाहर निकलना होगा और जीवन का सामना करना होगा। 'स्टारवार्स' मूवी में दिखाए गए भविष्य का जीवन एक दिन वास्तविकता होगी किंतु यह सब अपने आप ही नहीं हो जाएगा। इसके लिए हमें काम करना होगा, त्याग करने होंगे और सही चयन करने होंगे ताकि भविष्य के सपनों का संसार साकार हो सके। वे लोग जो आसमान मंे स्थित एक कपोल- कल्पित सेवानिवृत्ति का स्थान (स्वर्ग) चुनने की बजाय पुनर्जन्म अर्थात् वास्तविक जीवन को चुनंेगे, वही भविष्य की दुनिया का आनंद प्राप्त करेंगे। लेखक धर्मा को आपके विचार जानकर प्रसन्नता होगी।आप HeavenVsReincarnation@yahoo.com पर उनसे संपर्क कर सकते हैं।
