Описание: Felix Martin awakes to what he has been waiting for all his life: for civilization to finally meet its destiny. A massive explosion in the west by what, no one knows. Multiple presumed nuclear attacks in almost every major city. An airborne zootoxic infection that has manipulated the very genetic physiology and physical characteristics of the infected. And an entire country experiencing true freedom for once in its existence. Felix navigates the ash-covered and quiet remnants of the United States, coming across friends and survivors along the way and derailing his futile attempts to find out for himself his fiancee`s disposition. To find out what happened to her. However, the universe has other plans. Gangs and false flags, the true evil of what a human being can do to another, are all distractions as he fights onward. Catching the attention of those responsible for the infection further guides him down a dark path. In his travels, he finds that what is coming is far greater than reality, ending up in Fort Monroe, Virginia, where all that remains is gathering just outside that old fort`s walls. He slowly lets himself ride that spiral as far as it goes, down into that maddening dark place only the fallen know. With secrets all about him and a new fascist remnant of the old government on the rise, he merely smears his face with a jagged grin all the while being chased by the queen of the feral and something far older than even the light. The Black Dog watches as Felix slowly loses himself when he finds out he is no longer just a man. He leaves his humanity behind because after all, monsters deserve to kill monsters. Regardless the trial or adversary, it wasn`t his world that ended.

High-School-Dropout Masterminds a $14 B White-Collar Scam.
Bespectacled Fonso Gravenese was just six when he ran his first scam in 1915--winning quarters from his neighborhood buddies by rubbing olive on his yo-yo strings to make it spin faster.
From there, the scams got bigger, and his appetite unquenchable. By the time Fonso was 50, he had built a $500 million personal fortune by scamming federally-funded School Lunch, Wartime Stamp Rationing, and International Food for Peace Programs.
Craving for more, he cornered the Cotton Seed and Soybean Oil, major ingredients in the production of Salad Oil, with the help of his ruthless Mafia partners, to control the worldwide price of Salad Oil. Eventually, commodity prices plummeted, the NYSE was forced to halt trading, and $14 billion in salad oil inventory vanished into thin air.
The story, filled with humor, pathos, philanthropy--he gave millions to various charities, including his church and town and local bicycle clubs--offers new meaning to the phrase "buyer beware."
HOW CHINA'S MOST CELEBRATED VIOLIN PRODIGY BECAME AN ENEMY OF THE STATE.
The King of Violins is the heartbreaking story of China's most celebrated violin prodigy, Ma Sicong, who composed his first concerto at the age of 12.
During his career, this gentle, dignified man composed 57 of the world's best-known symphonies and concertos and performed in front of hundreds of sold-out audiences across the globe.
Chairman Mao Zedong declared Ma Sicong "a national treasure" and nicknamed him The King of Violins. Soon, Chairman Mao's brutal Cultural Revolution distorted the truth of Ma's life and work. He is forced to wear a dunce cap, and is publically humiliated and physically abused by cadres of Red Guards as "a vile product of bourgeois thinking."
Ma and his family make a breath-taking escape in the darkness to America. After Chairman Mao died in 1976, the real circumstances of Ma's poignant, bittersweet life were buried in the pages of history by an embarrassed Chinese government. Eleven years later, Ma died at the age of 76 in Philadelphia.
The King of Violins, written in cooperation with all of Ma's remaining family members, and is the first politically-balanced life story about this generous, conflicted musical genius.
