On July 12, 1588, the legendary Spanish Armada headed for the English Channel. The Spanish plan was to take this invasion, led by the Duke of Parma, to the coast of southeast England, where they would be unleashed to conquer Elizabethan England for Spain’s King Philip II and Catholic Christendom. The Armada included over 150 ships, 8,000 sailors, and 18,000 soldiers, and it boasted a firepower of 1,500 brass guns and 1,000 iron guns. Just leaving port itself took the entire Armada two days. As everyone who has been taught history now knows, the Armada was one of the most famous military debacles in history. Regardless of the debate over whether it was simple mathematical miscalculation or plain bad luck, coupled with English fire ships assailing the Spanish ships, the Armada was decisively defeated. The Armada ultimately found its reluctant way home in awful conditions, having permanently lost over a third of the ships, and on the Irish coast, the Armada suffered further losses. For the Counter Armada, Elizabeth turned to the most notorious English sailor of the era. The life of Sir Francis Drake, or, more precisely the tale of it, is a prime example that history is written by the winners. Drake’s successes against the Spanish as a captain and a privateer were legendary, and Drake was celebrated for fighting the queen’s enemies, sinking their ships and capturing the treasure that would otherwise be used to finance attacks on England. Drake vigorously pursued every mission given to him by Elizabeth I, and he brought all his skill, experience, and training to bear against her enemies. He was recognized at court for his valor, praised in story and song, and remembered for the kind of personality and esprit de corps that the English have long desired and celebrated in their military heroes. They were to patrol the shores of England and Spain and destroy any remaining Spanish ships.Zum Buch

In 2012, an incredible phenomenon began to occur. Internet users, in earnest, began reporting frightening encounters with emaciated, pale, hairless humanoids that, for the most part, crawled on all fours. Internet users attempted to equate these entities with characters of Native American mythology, oblivious to the fact that the humanoids in these encounters bore a resemblance to the fictional Rake. Many witnesses suggested that they were "Skinwalkers," medicine men or witches of traditional Navajo lore who possess the ability to transform into animals. Others proposed that these emaciated humanoids were manifestations of the "Wendigo," a malevolent cannibalistic spirit of Cree and Algonquin legend. Others still began to invent new names for these creatures, such as "Fleshgaits" and "Crawlers," the latter evoking the 2005 movie entities that likely helped to inspire the Rake originally. The humanoid encounters and sightings that are detailed in this book over varied glimpses into the phenomenon. Ask yourself—are these humanoids actual corporeal beings that are manifested by the human mind and perceivable by others? Or are we witnessing the nexus of an unknown and monstrous species of humanoid?Zum Buch

The early 20th century marked a transformative period in military history, where the introduction of flight reshaped the very nature of warfare. Prior to this, battles were fought on the ground and at sea, with strategy revolving around infantry, artillery, and naval power. However, as aviation technology advanced rapidly, it presented military commanders with new opportunities and challenges that would forever alter how conflicts were conducted. At the outset of World War I, the concept of aerial combat was in its infancy. Airplanes were initially seen as reconnaissance tools, providing vital intelligence for ground forces. Yet, it didn’t take long for the potential of aircraft to be realized in more aggressive terms. Pioneers such as the Wright brothers had already demonstrated the possibilities of flight, but the practical application of aircraft in combat was a game-changer. The skies above the battlefield soon became a new front, and aviation quickly proved indispensable in both strategic and tactical operations. The early airmen of World War I were explorers of a new domain, and their role would evolve from mere observers to active participants in combat. The introduction of fighter aircraft, along with advancements in technology like the machine gun, turned the skies into a dangerous and dynamic environment. Aerial dogfights became iconic moments of the war, and the stakes of air superiority were made clear. As aircraft became faster, more maneuverable, and capable of carrying greater payloads, they not only impacted the outcome of individual battles but also began to influence the strategic decisions of entire nations.Zum Buch
