It is 2035 when a new organization joins forces with the United Nations to help establish order. The POLICE go out of their way to feed the hungry and the poor, end the drug trades, stop crime, and transport medical supplies to the ill. In short, they are miracle workers. Unfortunately, something is about to go very wrong. After the POLICE make the fateful decision to leave their partnership with the United Nations, World War III breaks out. Five long years of fighting eventually cause the United States to topple. One by one, every other country is taken over by the power-hungry POLICE until they finally claim victory over the world. But little do they know that a small group called Le Rebells is preparing to launch terrorist attacks in an effort to stop them. Meanwhile, sixteen-year-old Thomas Haroldson is trying to live a normal life in what was once Germany. As he heads to his job in a factory, Tom has no idea that he is about to become immersed in the dangerous struggle between the POLICE and the Rebells. Caught between two crumbling worlds, Tom must convince the leaders of the POLICE and the Rebells to reach a peaceful resolutionbefore it is too late.
Irish literature's roots have been traced to the 7th-9th century. This is a rich and hardy literature starting with descriptions of the brave deeds of kings, saints and other heroes. These were followed by generous veins of religious, historical, genealogical, scientific and other works. The development of prose, poetry and drama raced along with the times. Modern, well-known Irish writers include: William Yeats, James Joyce, Sean Casey, George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, John Synge and Samuel Beckett.
The races and domains have created the town of Hub as a place for them to negotiate with each other. Hub sits on the border of the Elven Holding and the human Kingdom of Flint Plains. Duncan, a scribe from the human Kingdom of Salt Bay, comes to Hub to get permission to visit the Holding. His purpose is to learn more about the lands across the sea west of Salt Bay. This simple mission will have consequences for the wider world. It marks the dawn of efforts by most domains to help each other. But building peace is not on everyone’s mind. The Goblin Empire seeks to use the calm to undermine the other domains. Yet connections are being made and found between humans, elves, and dwarves. History is still being written. Who knows where the tale will go?
Jessica Randall was a child of the West: she could ride like a man, though she was all woman. The rugged Wyoming Territory was her home, and nothing infringed on her independence—until Duncan Frazer arrived. This man they called Segundo had spent years in exile and was captured by Jessica’s allure. Without revealing his secret identity, Segundo fought to possess her—and win her heart. Western Historical Romance by Amii Lorin writing as Joan Hohl; originally published as Silver Thunder by Dell
The year is 1838. A young Scotsman forced from his homeland arrives at Hudson’s Bay. Angus McDonald is contracted to British masters to trade for fur. But the world he discovers is beyond even a Highlander’s wildest imaginings: raging rivers, buffalo hunts, and the powerful daughter of an ancient and magnificent people. In Catherine Baptiste, kin to Nez Perce chiefs, Angus recognizes a kindred spirit. The Rocky Mountain West in which they meet will soon be torn apart by competing claims: between British fur traders, American settlers, and the Native peoples who have lived for millennia in the valleys and plateaus of the Shining Mountains’ western slopes. In this epic family saga, the real history of the American West is revealed in all its terror, beauty, and complexity. The Shining Mountains brilliantly limns a world now long forgotten: of blended cultures seeking allies, trading furs for guns and steel, and a way of life in collision with westward colonial expansion.

This book examines theatre within the context of the Northern Ireland conflict and peace process, with reference to a wide variety of plays, theatre productions and community engagements within and across communities. The author clarifies both the nature of the social and political vision of a number of major contemporary Northern Irish dramatists and the manner in which this vision is embodied in text and in performance. The book identifies and celebrates a tradition of playwrights and drama practitioners who, to this day, challenge and question all Northern Irish ideologies and propose alternative paths. The author's analysis of a selection of Northern Irish plays, written and produced over the course of the last thirty years or so, illustrates the great variety of approaches to ideology in Northern Irish drama, while revealing a common approach to staging the conflict and the peace process, with a distinct emphasis on utopian performatives and the possibility of positive change.
