The life of Malcolm "Shorty" Jarvis, Malcolm X's best friend before his conversion to Islam, is the subject of this memoir. Through this book, Jarvis (who died in September 1998) and Paul D. Nichols tell Jarvis' story-to set the record straight about his personality and character, which they felt had been falsely portrayed in other books and films about Malcolm X. The relationship between Jarvis and Malcolm X began in a Roxbury pool hall in 1942. A main purpose of this book is to bring to light information about the life, spirituality, and philosophy of Malcolm "Shorty" Jarvis, an accomplished jazz musician. Includes numerous photographs.

As repentance for all the evil it inflicted, the people of Gomorrah have been banished to another world for the last 5,000 years. King Abimelech and his followers are now ready to return to AdaminaEarthand regain what they believe is rightfully theirs. The king commissioned Professor Hai to locate the distant Adamina in order to facilitate Gomorrahs return and to crush Adaminas current inhabitants. As the chief scientist of both the University of Brisha and the Adamina Research Project, Hai holds the key to Gomorrahs return. But Hai maintains another important role as the leader of the resistance, a small group of Gomorrahans intent on overthrowing the king and returning peacefully to Adamina. Without the kings knowledge, Hai has located the planet and has built a three-person shuttle; he plans to warn Adamina about the kings impending attack. But spies lurk everywhere on Gomorrah, and the resistance does not know who it can trust. When the king suspects that Hai is hiding something, the resistance knows it must hasten its plans for the overthrow of the government and travel to Adamina before it is too late.
"A fictionalized account of a somewhat disastrous vacation Malcolm Lowry and his wife took to Mexico in order to relive a previous Mexican vacation which also proved disastrous. Although the basic premise is clear- the narrator and his wife flee to Mexico in order to escape any number of legal and marital problems- once in Mexico, the book focuses on the spiritual and moral struggles of its main character, who is essentially Lowry himself. Dragging his wife from town to town, riding overcrowded buses and staying in less than ideal lodgings, the narrator relives his past mistakes, wrestles with regret, and finally reaches a place, both physically and spiritually, where he is able to confront his demons head on and leave both the literal and figurative Mexico."--Amazon
