Life Watch
Liz McGuane has lived 18 of her 23 years under an assumed name after her parents were murdered and she was rescued by her Uncle Andrew, a CIA agent. Although living a sheltered life in Maine, over the years Drew has taught her survival tactics whenever he visited. He has always stressed the point that the killers may still be after Liz since a quirk of fate kept her from accompanying her parents in a rowboat that fateful day. One night Drew calls Liz to warn her away from the CIA and the lake where her parents died. During the conversation, Drew is fatally shot before he can explain further and Liz is forced to play a cat and mouse game with both the CIA and Soviet illegals. An undecipherable list of names and numbers comes to light after Drew's funeral and Liz is forced to run for her life, back to Woodcock Lake where it all began.

Deciphering the Proto-Sinaitic Script
Egypt, Judaism, and the history of the alphabet intersect in Deciphering The Proto-Sinaitic Script. From its initial appearance, in around the 18th century BC, the origins of proto–Sinaitic writing can be traced back to Egypt’s Middle Kingdom period, when it was somehow derived from the hieroglyphs, its parent–system. The importance of proto–Sinaitic lies in the fact that it represents the alphabet’s earliest developmental period—a kind of ‘missing link’ between the hieroglyphs and these early Semitic alphabets from which our own Latin one descends, by way of the Phoenician and Greek. However, up until now, proto-Sinaitic has remained for the most part undeciphered. The intri...
