Sinossi

In "Oonomoo the Huron," Edward S. Ellis crafts a compelling narrative that explores the rich tapestry of Native American life through the eyes of its titular character, a Huron warrior. This adventure tale, rife with vivid descriptions and authentic cultural depictions, reflects the Romantic literary style of the late 19th century, melding lush prose with action-driven storytelling. Set against the backdrop of North American conflicts and cultural interactions, Ellis deftly navigates themes of identity, survival, and honor, inviting readers to experience the trials and triumphs of his characters in a rapidly changing world. Edward S. Ellis, a prominent American author, was deeply influenced by the historical context of his time. Born in 1840 and raised in Indiana, Ellis's interest in Native American culture was likely shaped by both his frontier upbringing and the tumultuous relationship between settlers and indigenous populations. He devoted much of his writing career to producing works that showcased the struggles and perspectives of Native Americans, thereby contributing to a more nuanced understanding of their history and cultures in an era that often oversimplified or marginalized them. This book is a vital read for anyone interested in Native American history, adventure literature, or the evolution of American storytelling. Ellis's engaging prose and thoughtful character development make "Oonomoo the Huron" not only an exhilarating adventure but also a resonant exploration of cultural identity, urging readers to reflect on the complexities of human experience amidst the forces of change.

Rachael Mead

In 1960, when the legendary icebreaker Magga Dan set sail for Antarctica, it contained a secret. Hiding on board was Nel Law, wife of expedition leader Phillip Law. She would make history by becoming the first Australian woman to set foot on the icy continent, but it was her art that would change everything. 
Though a talented artist, Nel has always been defined by her role as ‘the explorer’s wife’, but in the clear expanse of the Southern Ocean, her true self is finally allowed to emerge. Despite misogyny from the all-male crew and increasing resentment from her mercurial husband, Nel’s art begins to flourish. Her new friend, a gentle ornithologist, encourages her to explore, but as the ship ploughs on towards Antarctica, rumours swirl, threatening her marriage and the tenuous peace between the controlling Phillip and his crew. In the clear, white light of the south, Nel will be forced to confront the truth of herself and the man to whom she has dedicated her life. 
This stunning reimagining of Nel Law’s life reveals a ground-breaking artist searching for freedom in a world where women’s lives were still defined by their husbands.

Ancient Beacon

Harold Anderson, Tom Lyons

It’s been hiding on Earth for millennia… 
…but it was my job to hide it from you. If the American people knew what secrets lay beneath their feet, the U.S. government would have no way of controlling the paranoia that would ensue. 
In Ancient Beacon, the second installment of The Palmdale Files, former agent Harold Anderson reveals the true story behind the discovery of a mysterious, terribly old, and not-of-this world relic found in a subterranean underwater cavern in New Mexico and the exceptional efforts the U.S. government went through to hide it. Ancient Beacon—also known as Event 348 Gamma—is the second in a series of forgotten and buried events the author once destroyed to protect the peace and security of the United States—events the government would rather hide forever. 
The Palmdale Files share highlights from Harold Anderson's U.S. Air Force career, where he worked to defend the nation and the world from paranoid hysteria about unexplained phenomena and threats from above.
