What starts out as a covert military operation to exterminate all the Taliban goat herds in Afghanistan quickly ends up going badly awry! The dead goats suddenly reanimate and begin attacking their herders. Soon the entire Afghan population becomes an army of undead, spreading fear and devastation throughout the region. Stick close to a special Ranger unit as they flee from Afghanistan, traveling through Turkmenistan to Kazakhstan and into southern Russia, where they sneak aboard the Trans-Siberian Express to Vladivostok. These men unknowingly carry with them the possible cure to the rampant plague. However, before they reach their destination, they are joined by a veteran US Army colonel and a beautiful female US Navy ensign who have their own agendas. This unlikely band of Americans eventually seizes a Russian trawler to make their way to Alaska, where even more surprises await them while crossing Canada to the US border.

In Ecclesiastes, the authorial voice of Qohelet presents an identity that has challenged readers for centuries. This book offers a reception history of the different ways readers have constructed Qohelet as an author. Previous reception histories of Ecclesiastes group readings into "premodern" and "critical," or separate Jewish from Christian readings. In deliberate contrast, this analysis arranges readings thematically according to the interpretive potential inherent in the text, a method of biblical reception history articulated by Brennan Breed. Doing so erases the artificial distinctions between so-called scholarly and confessional readings and highlights the fact that many modern academic readings of the authorship of Ecclesiastes travel in well-worn interpretive paths that long predate the rise of critical scholarship. Thus this book offers a reminder that, while critical biblical scholarship is an essential part of the interpretive task, academic readings are themselves indebted to the Bible’s reception history and a part of it.
In A. E. W. Mason's novel 'The Broken Road,' readers are taken on a thrilling journey through the desolate landscapes of war-torn Abyssinia, where the protagonist, John Hilliard, navigates the moral dilemmas and personal conflicts that arise in the midst of battle. Mason's descriptive prose and vivid storytelling immerse the reader in the heart-wrenching realities of war, highlighting the fragility of human relationships and the complexities of honor and duty. Written in a clear and evocative style, 'The Broken Road' is a timeless exploration of the impact of war on individuals and societies, making it a classic work of literature within its historical context. A. E. W. Mason's personal experiences as a soldier during World War I undoubtedly influenced his compelling portrayal of the psychological and emotional effects of conflict in 'The Broken Road.' His ability to capture the human experience in times of crisis shines through in this poignant novel, adding depth and authenticity to the narrative. I highly recommend 'The Broken Road' to readers interested in exploring the profound themes of war, loyalty, and morality in a gripping and thought-provoking setting.
