Indians into Mexicans
The people of Mexquitic, a town in the state of San Luis Potosí in rural northeastern Mexico, have redefined their sense of identity from "Indian" to "Mexican" over the last two centuries.

The 44th Protocol
The 44th Protocol This book is concerned with the efforts of a British male spy working together with a Russian female spy to resolve the big mystery surrounding Protocol 44 in the Argentinian Special Branch. They found that the reason the Argentinians were so secretive was because they made a revolutionary discovery based on a plant in the Aconcagua forest. This plant acquired through a mutation the property of anti-gravity and made it float in air. Utilising this plant the Argentinians built a very powerful aircraft which they used to attack the Falkland Islands. But the British Secret Service and Members of the Government already knew about the Argentinian plans because the British spy discovered the secret plans before the assault on the Falklands. This is a book for the elite reader who enjoys spy fiction and Science fiction at its best. Published by ABC Publications London First published 2013 For comments andreas@adm-computers.com
