Imagine this: you’re 60 years old, divorced, broke. You’ve squandered away being the husband and father you should’ve been to your wife and children in your quest for status among your architect peers. Don't worry: that’s all about to change. Unfortunate encounters with large trucks on the highway have a way of altering your plans, like jettisoning you back into the past to wake up next to a woman you dated in college. You’re also about to realize she hasn’t aged a day - and neither have you. Thirty years stripped away, just like that.

To travel the world on a long-term basis doesn’t even have to be expensive or difficult, because nearly everybody can afford it and organize it themselves. No matter if it's three weeks, three months, or three years of work and travel - you just have to know how.

Pest, Syphilis und Aids haben die Menschen in ihren Epochen bedroht, geprägt und in ihrem Bewusstsein Spuren hinterlassen.

Eine englische Königin, die das Land zusammen mit ihrem Mann, dem spanischen König, wieder katholisch machen will, scheint schwanger zu sein. Doch es ist ein Tumor - wäre sonst Spanien die Supermacht in unserer Welt?

According to Doss's account in a documentary film titled The Contentious Objector, as he rescued soldiers one-by-one, he breathed into the air with each go-around, "Lord, please help me get one more". The modest man of faith claims to have saved 50 wounded soldiers from certain death. His comrades claim that he saved 100. President Harry S. Truman presented him with the Congressional Medal of Honor upon his return to the United States, for his heroics on Okinawa, and the citation credits him with saving 75 lives, splitting the difference.

Ralph Goodman has been sentenced to five years hard time. Imprisoned in the past - no bars, no walls - he wonders if this was, in fact, a death sentence. However, with a little unexpected assistance, Ralph might just make it back alive.

Markman's Home is a journey in modern Magical Realism. Using multiple narrative accounts with a mix of history, philosophy, story, and essay, Ronald R. Van Stockum, Jr. blends the present and past with a possible future after the world's destruction. The action takes place in familiar settings, fertile plains, palisades of stone towering above rivers, caves, waterfalls, and trees. Freedom against tyranny and slavery are at stake when humans turn against their own kind. They control Warts, wolf-like packs of wild dogs, and Mutans, human variants seeking to rise and dominate.

In the winter of 1982, a young man of 13 was abducted from his bedroom, his captors being strange and apparently not of this world. Prior to this, he, along with his twin brother and grandmother, were observed by an otherworldly sphere, which hung over their heads as a soundless electronic eye.
