Sinopsis

In "Rule of the Monk; Or, Rome in the Nineteenth Century," Giuseppe Garibaldi weaves a compelling narrative that intricately explores the socio-political landscape of 19th century Rome through the lens of religious authority and monastic life. Garibaldi's literary style is imbued with vivid imagery and robust rhetorical devices, reflecting the fervent spirit of his revolutionary ideals and the tumultuous backdrop of the Risorgimento. This work stands as a critical engagement with the interplay of power, faith, and identity during a time marked by intense ideological conflict, demonstrating how monastic institutions both shaped and resisted the shifting currents of modernity in Italy. A revered figure in Italian unification, Garibaldi's personal experiences as a soldier and statesman undoubtedly influenced his incisive observations on religion's role in society. His keen awareness of the challenges posed by the papacy and the socio-political ramifications necessitated by unification compel him to delve into the complexities of ecclesiastical authority. Garibaldi's unique position as a nationalist leader and his intrinsic disdain for oppressive systems lay the groundwork for a profound critique of contemporary Rome. Readers seeking a nuanced understanding of 19th century Italy and its intricate relationship with religion and governance will find Garibaldi's work essential. "Rule of the Monk" serves not only as a historical document but also as an impassioned call for liberation from oppressive forces. This book illuminates the interplay of faith and power, making it a vital read for anyone interested in the intricate fabric of Italy's past.

    The Adventure of the Tea-Stained Diamonds:
    He was not much more than a child. I estimated his age at fourteen. He was a handsome boy, with the raven-black hair and deeply tanned skin color that marks a person who came from the lands under the Raj. His young body was beginning to show the signs of an emerging well-made sportsman. From his place, lying on his back on the pavement, his dark-brown eyes stared up at the morning sky ... lifeless. Behind his head was a pool of blood, now darkened and congealed.

    "As a heatwave engulfs New York in the summer of 1889, the city’s top models begin turning up dead, one by one, suggesting the work of a single killer. Society-girl-turned-investigative-journalist Genevieve Stewart is drawn into the case when Beatrice Holler, one of her friend Callie’s fellow models, is found with her throat cut. Genevieve and her compatriot, wealthy Daniel McCaffrey, are joined by Callie to seek out the suspects, which leads them to search for answers from the members of the elite, notorious gangsters, and the city's most prominent painters. In an era when London’s Jack the Ripper murders have everyone on edge, the police want to keep the killings quiet. But the bodies are piling up as fast as the suspects—and unless the killer is found, the simmering New York summer could boil over into madness."

    LETHAL COMMAND (Book #3) is the third book in a gripping new action thriller series from the #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars (with over 10,000 five-star reviews). The series begins with LETHAL FORCE (Book #1).
    
    Former Army Ranger and ex-NASCAR driver Derek Vesper is used to high velocity, whether its wheels, wings or skis. Assumed to be KIA in a firefight, Derek, unknown to anyone, uses his unique skills as a secret government operator to work outside the scope of protocol and to embrace the most dangerous—and fraught—of missions….
    
    In LETHAL COMMAND (Book #3), extracting a North Korean defector from the world's most heavily fortified border was already a suicide mission. Now with enemy forces closing in, Derek Vesper must orchestrate an escape across impossible terrain using everything from farm trucks to freight trains. The DMZ has never seen a chase like this—and neither has the Yellow Sea that stands between freedom and capture.
    
    The Derek Vesper series delivers pulse-racing thrills and knife-edge suspense that seizes your attention with an iron grip. Featuring spectacular action sequences and mind-blowing twists, this series will propel you through a rollercoaster ride, from dynamite openings to jaw-dropping finales.
