A serial killer has travelled across the Eastern Quadrant of the galaxy leaving a trail of mutilated corpes behind them.Galactic Council profilers predict the next murder will occur in the Black Systems, a haven for galactic criminals.

Moor Green Football Club turned 100 years old on September 17, 2001. Six years and a devastating fire later, the historic club, based since 1930 in the suburb of Hall Green, six miles to the south of Birmingham, was consigned to history. The Moors competed in the Dr Martens Southern League at the time of the club's centennial and had risen to the Conference North, two promotions shy of the Football League, by the final season. During the prior one-hundred years, Moor Green graced many different leagues with varying degrees of success. What can be said with confidence is that the name Moor Green has been held in high esteem throughout English amateur and semi-professional football and, for a period of time, in Europe as well. This reputation was achieved through the efforts of many fine players backed by hard-working committee men who made selfless efforts to keep the club going through both good times and bad. This is their story.

More than fifty photographs are included, most of which appear in print for the first time. The second part of the book details the operational history of 6 Squadron for the whole of the Great War, from October 1914 until December 1918, including details of every aircraft on charge with the squadron, the casualties sustained by 6 Squadron and significant events, for each of the twenty-seven months.

Extending out from Northern Greece into the Aegean Sea are three peninsulas, one of which, Mount Athos, has been a monastic republic for over a thousand years. A pilgrimage to the Holy Mountain is a journey to the heart of Orthodox monasticism, and Father Spyridon takes us with him to hear words of ancient wisdom that may lead us into a deeper sense of God's presence. Father Ioakeim Oureilidis writes "This book is primarily a spiritual invitation through this paper object, that our Holy Mary, our Panagia, making good use of Fr Spyridon's skills and talents, extends to us all to visit her earthly home, the Holy Mountain, in order to be rejuvenated through faith and communication with the praying fathers and her grace."
These rare black and white images give us glimpses of the distant and mysterious land of Burma/Myanmar. For many years it was shut off from the world under a repressive military government and now in 2018 current events are disturbing and puzzling to the world. Here we see the wide elegant streets of Rangoon as it was during British rule before WW2, and many other exotic and touching sights, ancient buildings, landscapes and the people of many ethnic origins. The ancient oil wells, the ever present pagodas, the daily procession of the monks and elephants skilfully trained to do their difficult work moving the great trunks of teak to the mighty rivers. The author's family and other people she met left her with many documents and photographs from the past and the images here tell us many stories. The sadness and frustration of the Burmese during colonial times but also carefree schooldays. Small numbers embraced Christianity and very plain churches could sometimes be seen in the Buddhist villages and towns. A book which says very little in words, but is a unique and fascinating record from Burma's troubled past.

Many different arguments have been employed over the centuries to answer these questions, for they are fundamental to our sense of purpose.

Concepts relating to the certainty of knowledge, the existence of God, the nature of morality and the ultimate objective of man are explored.

Turn off, tune out, and drop in. It's 1968, and Stephen Sellars is struggling with his modernist crime novel, while his lead character stumbles helplessly toward a predetermined act of murder. Will Sellars be swallowed by history before he finds his voice? The answer's here on the page, read it for yourself. But the book's not about Sellars. It's about Bergman, who gets in debt and plans to get himself out by taking something that doesn't belong to him. Only, plans never work out, everybody knows that. And he ends up with blood on his hands. So it's a serious book, but Sellars is too self-conscious (and maybe too easily distracted) to go the whole hog with the mean streets bit and come up with a gripping plot. If you want something that'll leave you breathless with surprise, go ride somebody else's roller coaster. On the other hand, take a deep breath and tag along as Sellars' novel (or anti-novel) refuses to go where it's expected to go.
A 2000 year old InPOD-Distribution & Short Runan Tiger trapped in a wooden carving! Three friends, Benno, Laura and Thomas have to find the Tiger's tail to enable him to move on to the spirit world. Read what happens when they do!
Of all the enemies that our hero has shrunk away from, there was one he feared above them all. By his own admission they gave him nightmares into his dotage. It was not the French, the Spanish, the Americans or the Mexicans. It was not even the more exotic adversaries such as the Iroquois, Mahratta or Zulus. While they could all make his guts churn anxiously, the foe that really put him off his lunch were the Ashanti."You could not see them coming," he complained. "They were well armed, fought with cunning and immense savagery and above all, there were bloody thousands of the bastards."This eighth packet in the Thomas Flashman memoirs details his misadventures on the Gold Coast in Africa. It was a time when the British lion discovered that instead of being the king of the jungle, it was in fact a crumb on the lip of a far more ferocious beast. Our 'hero' is at the heart of this revelation after he is shipwrecked on that hostile shore. While waiting for passage home, he is soon embroiled in the plans of a naïve British governor who has hopelessly underestimated his foe. When he is not impersonating a missionary or chasing the local women, Flashman finds himself being trapped by enemy armies, risking execution and the worst kind of 'dismemberment, ' not to mention escaping prisons, spies, snakes, water horses (hippopotamus) and crocodiles.It is another rip-roaring Thomas Flashman adventure, which tells the true story of an extraordinary time in Africa that is now almost entirely forgotten.
How is it that our supposedly intelligent species manages to do such damage to the precious and fragile planet that we inhabit? We ought to be able to work out what is best for us. We ought to be able to think of the future. But we don't. This perverse behaviour reflects our failure to understand the human personality. We have been powerfully influenced by misguided ideas about people and about what it is that makes for human flourishing. The Earth and Us is a book about people, our impact on the natural environment and the political, economic and industrial implications - and about how we all live our lives.
The art of deception is explored and is a core theme in this book. The notion that there still is a possibility of peace, in a life that is not just black and white, but full of a variety of kinky shades, is also considered. The Jägermeister's Apprentice is really about scruffy Buddy Rioux's skirmishing odyssey. Through the eyes of Buddy Rioux, a likeable and inquisitive chap, Jonzy Wandelaar examines the concept of deception in both an innocent way and in an almost fatal way. As the novel unfurls Buddy Rioux becomes increasingly alienated. Primarily we are introduced to a disreputable character Mo and his venomous voodoo den. After that we are dragged through Morpheye's violent blue terrorist revolution. As an audience we are then challenged to think about 'why we all lie', and are thrown from a situation of childhood purity and innocent unearthing, into a hideous circumstance of disorder and discerning detection. We are subsequently flown into a colourful San Francisco fugitive settlement, and plunged into a state of horrific journalistic suppression. Together we journey into three different countries, and quite unexpectedly we end up in brutal exile in northern France. Buddy Rioux, otherwise known as 'The Jägermeister's Apprentice', can see into the darkness of the society in which we all live. Reading 'The Jägermeister's Apprentice' makes you feel like you are walking in Buddy Rioux's perilous, yet mysteriously realistic world of utter isolation.
