However, the enthusiasm of Commander Sam Jacobson's five-person crew is about to be severely tested : news arrives that Earth is under threat of annihilation, due to an impending collision with a comet named "Lucifer". But the crew of the Eagle II Mars lander have a mission to complete; so, with heavy hearts, they set out to explore the surface of the Red Planet, before starting their grim return-trip to a doomed world. Little do they know that the fate of the Earth will soon rest on the slender shoulders of an enigmatic, self-doubting “Angel”, who lies asleep... and... awaits.
Children of The Fire Book 4 (final volume) of The Angel Brings Fire series As her two adopted "families" of friends and acquaintances fight an unequal, last-ditch battle for survival, deep underground in a distant, secret prison-facility, Karéin-Mayréij streaks across America's skies, recruiting a new group of super-human followers along the way. She's desperate to rescue her loved ones, but distractions (like street gangsters, rogue nuclear weapons, double-crossing Presidents and the U.S. Air Force) have a bad habit of getting in the way. Time's running out on all fronts – especially for the United States of 2040, which risks annihilation at the hands of an angry, guilt-ridden “Angel”!
Angel and The Empire Book 3 of The Angel Brings Fire series Having saved the Sun's third planet from a Doomsday comet, Karéin-Mayréij, the alien “Storied Watcher”, finds herself at odds with the declining, undemocratic United States of 2040. Things aren't going well : her new, adopted “family” has just been kidnapped by parties unknown, and the U.S. Air Force, among others, is trying to kill her. But there's a reason why Karéin-Mayréij is called the “Destroying Angel”, and the U.S. government is about to find out about it, the hard way. Her lethal supernatural abilities are returning fast, and her friends and family – though in dire straits – are starting to inherit super-human powers of their own. And the President of the future United States is about to learn the truth of the saying : "Never get on the bad side, of a fallen angel.
Doubt Me Not Book 2 of The Angel Brings Fire series The “Destroying Angel”, Karéin-Mayréij, has fallen to Earth after a near-fatal encounter with a Doomsday comet. She has saved the world from total destruction... but only at a fearful cost, for she is dazed, crippled, nearly powerless and, most of all... alone. Doubt Me Not describes the adventures of a now-humbled "Storied Watcher", as she learns how to survive in the paranoid, oppressive United States of the near future. Along with a new-found lover and a befriended “family” drawn from the underclass, she's on the run, not only from the U.S. government but also from different enemies with even more sinister purposes. But Karéin-Mayréij isn't the only one who has been forever changed by her appearance upon the face of the Earth... the history of human evolution, will never be the same!
Africa for the Africans" was the name given in Africa to the extraordinary black social protest movement led by Jamaican Marcus Mosiah Garvey (1887-1940). Volumes I-VII of the Marcus Garvey and Universal Negro Improvement Association Papers chronicled the Garvey movement that flourished in the United States during the 1920s. Now, the long-awaited African volumes of this edition (Volumes VIII and IX and a forthcoming Volume X) demonstrate clearly the central role Africans played in the development of the Garvey phenomenon. The African volumes provide the first authoritative account of how Africans transformed Garveyism from an external stimulus into an African social movement. They also represent the most extensive collection of documents ever gathered on the early African nationalism of the inter-war period. Here is a detailed chronicle of the spread of Garvey's call for African redemption throughout Africa and the repressive colonial responses it engendered. Volume VIII begins in 1917 with the little-known story of the Pan-African commercial schemes that preceded Garveyism and charts the early African reactions to the UNIA. Volume IX continues the story, documenting the establishment of UNIA chapters throughout Africa and presenting new evidence linking Garveyism and nascent Namibian nationalism.
The long-awaited sequel (first volume of four) to the exciting Angel Brings Fire series of superhero / modern fantasy novels, has arrived! After desperate, life-or-death battles on the remote Alaskan island of Amchitka, the tables are turned on the imposter-President of the unstable, misgoverned United States of the 2040s, as the newly-rescued, superhuman Sam Jacobson and Minnie Chu teams depart on conflicted quests to reform America. Both teams aim to save the country from the Storied Watcher – Karéin-Mayréij – who has abundant reason to carry through with threats to “lay this kingdom in ruins, from end to end”. Chu wants to reason with the U.S. government; Jacobson just wants to beat sense into it; but America’s cruel, corrupt leader isn’t in much of a mood to listen, to anybody. Chances are… that will turn out badly for him!

A Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter examines the true history of the discord between Israel and Palestine with surprising results Though the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict have traditionally been traced to the British Mandate (1920-1948) that ended with the creation of the Israeli state, a new generation of scholars has taken the investigation further back, to the Ottoman period. The first popular account of this key era, Jerusalem 1913 shows us a cosmopolitan city whose religious tolerance crumbled before the onset of Z ionism and its corresponding nationalism on both sides-a conflict that could have been resolved were it not for the onset of World War I. With extraordinary skill, Amy Dockser Marcus rewrites the story of one of the world's most indelible divides.
Environmentally conscious Gen Z and Millennial readers will see their reflection in this story of one young journalist and runner’s struggle to figure out who she is, where she wants to be, and what responsibility a person has to the world. On the hottest day in August, 1982, writer, runner, and seeker Sandra Z. Eliot quits a job she finds morally reprehensible—writing ad copy for a shady real estate developer in South Florida—and resolves to go home. In short order, she gets out of the lease on her apartment, sells her rusted Plymouth to a man who looks like John Muir, buys a bus ticket back to Chicago, and leaves the beauty of the Everglades behind. Back home in Oak Park, the past is still heavy in the air and the familiar streets and storefronts feel like what she needs. Sandra finds an attic apartment, goes back to her old job at the bank, and meets up with old friends . . . but her morning runs reveal discontent, and she’s riddled with regret over her contributions to the development that threatens to destroy her beloved Everglades. Should she go back to Florida and fight the development? Or move to yet another state to explore a relationship with someone she’s just met? What do you do when the place you call home no longer fits?
