  “All men are created equal … and nothing will ever be the same again in this country.” 
  For 500 years, disease, persecution, forced removal, and outright slaughter of Native Americans affected millions of souls. Treating Native Americans as subhuman, "Indian savages," the US government forced countless indigenous humans who survived into poverty on reservations. 
  Their ancestors in the Spirit World watched hundreds of treaties broken and continue to see their descendants suffer. So, they have raised a vast army led by gifted recruits and a Champion chosen from among the living to conquer an evil Lord and attempt to take down a callous, inhuman President. 
  Dr. Jeromy Whitefeather Ph.D., a Professor of Native American Studies, is transported to the past, and he visits and trains in the Spirit World with a Great Chief named Chingachgook, who was thought to be the last of his Mohican people. He undergoes a dramatic change, gaining courage, strength, and the fiercest warrior fighting skills, and leads a legion of Spirit Warriors in a wild attempt to rewrite American history.

  When Kitty and Rian Farrell sail their schooner Katipo III into Dunedin Harbour in 1863, they are on tenterhooks. The new Otago goldfields have attracted all-comers, including their friend Wong Fu from Ballarat, who has sent a message for their help. 
  To their surprise, Wong Fu reveals he is more than a mere fortune seeker - he is in fact a Cloud Leopard tong master and his daughter, Bao, has been kidnapped and taken to opium-ridden China.  
  Kitty and Rian agree to retrieve the missing Bao, but as they sail closer to their quarry the stakes jump dramatically. And little do they know that the deadliest threat lies in their midst.

  If someone had asked Sherlock Holmes later in the year, there is little doubt that he would have said his life began that spring day in 1871 when he met Violet Rushdale upon the moors and ended in the winter some months distant. His mother would have disputed the former claim, and many, both friend and foe, would come to deny the latter. Yet what happened that year nearly cost him his life and his sanity, and strongly influenced the man he was to become. It is well known that the toughest steel that makes the sharpest swords must be plunged into the fire, then beaten and reshaped. So it is as well with the best and wisest of men. 
  The Crack in the Lens tells the tale of how and WHY a young Sherlock Holmes forged himself into the Great Detective.
