Beschreibung

The author of our mystery novel, William Gillette, is most famous for playing Sherlock Holmes on stage in the United States. He helped popularize the character in the early days of the series. The author of our fantasy novel, Ernest Favenc, was a prolific Australian writer whose talents are only now beginning to be recognized, as scholars dig into old newspapers and magazines and uncover his classic stories. We also have a classic novella by Edgar Wallace and shorts by Michael Bracken & Sandra Murphy, David Hann, Joe Giordano, Samuel Totten, Gareth D Jones; a classic psychic detective tale from Seabury Quinn; and a new solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles. All great fun.   Here’s the complete lineup—

    The book How Authoritarian King Seized America: Judgment Day Is Coming by Michael J. Henderson is a historical fiction novel that envisions a dystopian future where America has fallen under the rule of an authoritarian leader, Don Orangeman. The novel explores themes of racial oppression, economic devastation, and political corruption as the country is transformed into the "Ivory Empire." 
    The narrative follows diverse characters—including Black, Latino, Asian, and white Americans—who struggle under a regime that favors the wealthy elite while oppressing marginalized communities. The story highlights the systematic dismantling of democracy, the rise of an economic oligarchy, and the growing resistance movement fighting to reclaim justice and freedom. 
    A key antagonist is Elon Mzungu, a shadowy billionaire who manipulates the government from behind the scenes, controlling economic and technological infrastructure to expand his influence worldwide. As the Ivory Empire crumbles under its own corruption, the revolution gains momentum, leading to a climactic battle for the nation's future. 
    The book serves as both a cautionary tale and a call to action, emphasizing the consequences of unchecked power and the resilience of those who resist oppression. It blends political commentary, historical parallels, and speculative fiction to create a gripping narrative about the fight for democracy and justice in a world on the brink of collapse.
