Summary

You will know when the time comes and have five seconds to decide. If you take the poison no one else will be hurt. If you try the antidote on your sister she will be shot. We will find out together if it works or not. No lifting the clasp. No tampering with the box. No trying to leave town. No contacting the police or involving others. Doing any of these things will be an instant forfeit of your lives and you will not see the next sunrise. You will be constantly watched. There is no escape.
 
Drew Evergreen is a twenty-six year old man who has everything going for him. Money, successful businesses, private security team, and a younger sister he would do literally anything for to protect. When his parents where murdered and he was six, he was forced to chose between following the murder and becoming a killer to protect his sister, or letting them both be killed right then. Holly, Drew's sister, is sixteen and happy go lucky. She does whatever her brother says to keep him as happy as she can, seeing the stress he is constantly under while not knowing any of the danger. Drew is prepared to celebrate his sister's sixteenth birthday as soon as she flies in with as much joy as always, until his past comes back to haunt him. Marietta Graves appears once more to ruin not only Holly's birthday weekend, but to kill Drew for what he's done to her. Drew, determined to keep the truth from his sister, does everything he can until Holly finds out anyway. The race is on when Drew brakes the rules and leaves with his sister to the safe house, Marietta right behind them. When the two finally come face to face, Drew will gladly die if he can only kill Marietta first. His sister is his life, he will protect her. Question is, will he be able to, or will Marietta win?

    Siegfried Sassoon was one of the first to write poetry about the brutal reality of war, based on his real-life experiences in the trenches. He served in World War I on the Western Front and was awarded the Military Cross for bravery under fire. However, he later became a convicted pacifist, threw his Military Cross into the Mersey river, and continued to write and publish poems and political statements against the war. His poems capture the despair he felt towards the war overall, and he paints vivid word pictures that make the reader "pray you'll never know, the hell where youth and laughter go".

    Sidney Keyes' great allegorical tale of a race between a newfangled steamroller with a top speed of five miles per hour and a horse-drawn hearse, whose two old nags are accustomed to a stately pace appropriate to the transportation of the dead. The race takes on a wider significance as an allegory of progress and the advent of the age of the machine versus the old thoughtful way of life.When the two vehicles set off from their starting point, the village inn ("The Sad Man's Rest") nobody can really predict which vehicle will arrive first at the finish line, eight miles away. As it turns out, the outcome of the race is very different and more momentous than anyone could have predicted. A story which truly challenges the listener to think through the wider implications of what started out as a simple pub challenge.

    The Accusation is a deeply moving and eye-opening work of fiction that paints a powerful portrait of life under the North Korean regime. Set during the period of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il's leadership, the seven stories that make up The Accusation give voice to people living under this most bizarre and horrifying of dictatorships. The characters of these compelling stories come from a wide variety of backgrounds, from a young mother living among the elite in Pyongyang whose son misbehaves during a political rally, to a former Communist war hero who is deeply disillusioned with the intrusion of the Party into everything he holds dear, to a husband and father who is denied a travel permit and sneaks onto a train in order to visit his critically ill mother. Written with deep emotion and writing talent, The Accusation is a vivid depiction of life in a closed-off one-party state, and also a hopeful testament to the humanity and rich internal life that persists even in such inhumane conditions.
