Book excerpt: Flinders smiled. “Once more into the breach, my friend.” Now famous after their previous quest to find Cleopatra’s tomb, detectives Flinders Petrie and Thomas Pettigrew begin their next adventure in search of a stolen statue of Aphrodite. Their pursuit takes them from the bowels of the British Museum to the barren desert of Syria and the glamorous bustle of Istanbul. At every step, they are confronted by two incredibly evil opponents: the Bulbul Pasha, a giant of a man who sings like a nightingale while he kills, and the Veiled One, a horribly disfigured monster who lives only for revenge. On the way, they meet T. E. Lawrence and Gertrude Bell, who are excavating a site in Syria. Lawrence leads them to a crusader castle and into a surreal battle with the Bulbul, but the statue still eludes them. With Gertrude’s help, the detectives enlist the aid of British Intelligence, which uses a ring of male and female belly dancers to track the statue to the Veiled One’s harem. Disguised as dancers, the detectives infiltrate it, setting up a climactic duel in the desert. Set against the backdrop of an oncoming war, this book is a window into the lush complexity of the Ottoman Empire, the stark life of the desert bedouin, and steadily vanishing societies. Our protagonists enter a world of beauty and barbarity to find an artifact but find the hauntings of memory and perhaps a strange peace as well. The action that drives this unpredictable narrative will leave you eagerly awaiting the next installment in the Petrie and Pettigrew series.

This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:  Fourth wave feminism has entered the national conversation and established a highly visible presence in popular media, especially in cutting-edge science fiction and fantasy films and television series. Wonder Woman, the Wasp, and Captain Marvel headline superhero films while Black Panther celebrates nonwestern power. Disney princesses value sisterhood over conventional marriage. This first of two companion volumes addresses cinema, exploring how, since 2012, such films as the Hunger Games trilogy, Mad Max: Fury Road, and recent Star Wars installments have showcased women of action. The true innovation is a product of the Internet age. Though the web has accelerated fan engagement to the point that progressivism and backlash happen simultaneously, new films increasingly emphasize diversity over toxic masculinity. They defy net trolls to provide stunning role models for viewers across the spectrum of age, gender, and nationality.

Book excerpt: This particular morning following public outcry a police raid was carried out and strange discoveries were made. The strangest was a man who walked on his hands and knees like animals. The television showed a long bearded man with overgrown grey tousled hair, bulging eyes like the protruding eyes of bush baby, dry peeling skin and a vulgar voice. The onlookers caught by television cameras showed gloomy faces with some of them having their hands over their heads, some with mouth agape in astonishment and some other faces covered in tears. That was not the strangest but human flesh and bones were found in this strange man’s abode - the abandoned maintenance house. He was not a ritualist but was described as a cannibal. He ate any flesh, fresh or rotten. Much more than a cannibal. They never took time earlier to decode his language. The police could pick things he said like: “I built this place. I am not a criminal. You have taken all from me but you cannot take this place or take me from this place...” The baffling truth was that he was speaking fluent and articulated queen's English. "They said I would climb mountains and hills, cross rivers and valleys and eat like animals," the strange man echoed. The story of Nebuchadnezzar came to mind, hearing his story. "I served them good and they served me bad. My family abandoned me because of them. I studied in Cambridge that is why I cannot leave this bridge. ‘London bridge is falling down, falling down...’" he reverberated in-between speeches as if imitating or singing our childhood song or poem. But more ominous was that top government white papers, official reports setting out government policy on issues to be voted on by the country's legislature and other secret documents were found in his custody... Stolen Tomorrow (Political Scavengers Series Book Two) is about a love story, a family puzzle, is about Cafia Autonomous Community and the oppressive government and a call for the young people to fight for their rights and position in the scheme of things to preserve their future. A speculative fiction and dystopian state, a totalitarian government's abuse of power, a police state that must be rescued from the stale politicians and the junta regime.Aaron Bo suffered a lot of persecutions for standing for the truth and fighting for the Masses.
