Описание: A massive army on the brink of conquest looms large in a world where prophecies are lies, magic is believed in but never seen, and hope is where you least expect to find it. Welcome to the Five Isles, where war has come in the name of the invading army of S r Sevier, a merciless host driven by the prophetic fervor of the Angel Prince, Aeros, toward the last unconquered kingdom of Gul Kana. Yet Gault, one of the elite Knights Archaic of S r Sevier, is growing disillusioned by the crusade he is at the vanguard of just as it embarks on his Lord Aeros' greatest triumph. While the eldest son of the fallen king of Gul Kana now reigns in ever increasing paranoid isolationism, his two sisters seek their own paths. Jondralyn, the older sister, renowned for her beauty, only desires to prove her worth as a warrior, while Tala, the younger sister, has uncovered a secret that may not only destroy her family but the entire kingdom. Then there's Hawkwood, the assassin sent to kill Jondralyn who has instead fallen in love with her and trains her in his deadly art. All are led further into dangerous conspiracies within the court. And hidden at the edge of Gul Kana is Nail, the orphan taken by the enigmatic Shawcroft to the remote whaling village of Gallows Haven, a young man who may hold the link to the salvation of the entire Five Isles. You may think you know this story, but everyone is not who they seem, nor do they fit the roles you expect. Durfee has created an epic fantasy full of hope in a world based on lies.

Описание: Brian R. Lee has been involved in the old car hobby for about 30 years, attending many different events focusing around cars during that time. He has belonged to several local car clubs, as well as the national Veteran Motor Car Club of America (VMCCA). He wrote for various car club newsletters as well as for the VMCCA quarterly magazine. Brian's experience in writing began as a freelance writer, but quickly pushed him into newspapers after moving to Idaho. He was a reporter and editor for three Idaho newspapers during his years in Idaho. His love for cars began as a child, during which time his Uncle Ed's greeting to him was often, "Cars and trucks and trucks and cars!" In addition to building plastic models of cars like so many other kids of that era, he also would tape paper to his basement floor and draw extensive towns on them to use for his varied collection of toy cars. Some of those toy cars he still owns today. Having read many books and magazines on old cars, he noticed no one has really touched on the subject of how the hobby has evolved. While many were involved in the hobby before him, he felt well qualified to tell of the changes and great growth he has seen in the hobby for the many years he has been participating in it. He has also been able to touch on the years that go before his age from having talked with ordinary car collectors who were there before Brian. Brian has also been an avid photographer since his high school years, and many of his subjects have been old cars at car shows. A small portion of his vast collection of car photos is included in this book. Unlike the advertising photos or "professional" photos that rid the car of surrounding scenes, most of Brian's photos will show the cars in the setting of car shows and car cruises, the mainstay of the hobby. He hopes his observations and the cars he has captured on film will provide enjoyment to those who read "For The Love of Cars."

Описание:
A Biblical novel for readers of all faiths, Sons of Zeruiah: The Mighty Men of David is filled with action, drama, and adventure.
Drawing from his experiences as an Afghanistan veteran, martial artist, and Christian, as well as scriptural, historical, and cultural sources, Brian Lee Meyer has written a razor-sharp novel for readers of all faiths. The story centers around King David's three nephews, Abishai, Joab, and Asahel, who were listed among David's "mighty men" and had a turbulent relationship with their uncle. Years of studying middle eastern cultures led him to as the question: what if David called his nephews "sons of Zeruiah" (his sister), not because of his affection for her, but because they had no legitimate father?
This striking inference is what drives the main characters' heroic exploits and troubling misdeeds. The result is characters who are complex and multifaceted, capable of extraordinary bravery, beautifully selfless sacrifice, and shocking brutality. Seeking neither to condemn nor condone, Meyer helps the reader to understand these tragic men and the barbarous age that shaped them.
Sticking scrupulously to the scriptural narrative and filling in the gaps with rabbinical traditions and archeological knowledge, Meyer paints a more complete picture of King David himself and does not shrink from morally questionable events in the biblical record. Viewing David, not at a three-thousand-year remove, but through the eyes of the men who served and fought for him, readers may find his characterization of David controversial. It is, however, unflinchingly honest but compassionate concerning the virtues and flaws of each character.
The story takes its characters from the cave at Adullum to David's ascension to the throne as Israel's second king in a breathtaking adventure. Shortly after, the characters face a devastating loss that leads them to the crime that initially strains their relationship with their uncle, the closest thing to a father figure they have. The story ends with the siege of Jerusalem, Joab's attempt to redeem himself to the king and his greatest military accomplishment. After ending on a satisfying note, the epilogue warns the reader that the characters have greater adventures and tragedies ahead of them in the second book.
Sons of Zeruiah: The Mighty Men of King David is a great read for fans of historical thrillers, military history, and adventurous religious fiction, regardless of the individual's religious creed. Even those who are familiar with King David's story will find surprising twists along the way.

Описание: Essays studying the relationship between literariness and form in medieval texts.
Описание: T. S. Eliot’s literary criticism is often described as ‘the criticism of a poet’. Mr Lee asks what happens if we take that description seriously and read the criticism as if it was as much the expression of the man, it its way, as the poetry; continuous with the poetry and the preoccupations of the poetry. This essay in interpretation is an attempt to follow out such a programme and to account for the contradictions and seemingly discrepant utterances that Eliot himself left unexplained. The opening chapter offers an outline of Eliot’s main ‘theories’ and the connection between them, and subsequent chapters deal with critical approaches to Eliot; ‘Tradition and the Individual Talent’ and impersonality; Eliot’s ideas on personality; and the relation between individual personality and society.
