Moreover, from what source does all this come? For these good people now hold the key of releasing the power that can save or destroy those who live by greed. We also have the ‘good guy’s’ hearing angelic voices, mystical music and experiencing visions until they can no longer ignore the mission set before them. And this is just the beginning of the physical and mental pain they shall experience at the hands of karma. Voices from no discernable source whisper in their ear, music as dark as midnight surround them, urging them to ignore what is right in front of their face. Soon that tube of toothpaste, car radio or DVD will become an object of loathing, pain and humility. Set in a small college town in the Midwest, we follow the characters for one weekend where they will answer to the choices made in their life when Universal Law takes over.įor example, the ‘bad guy’s’ have no idea what is in store for them as they go about their ordinary tasks. It is speculative fiction containing suspense, horror, the paranormal and spirituality, hence the Karma. ![]() The Turn of the Karmic Wheel is the theme of good versus evil, with a bit of a twist. ![]() ![]() ![]() Philippe the Fair - as in 'pretty', and not 'just') - and into the thick of the events that eventually precipitated the Hundred Years' War between England and France. ![]() This book, the first in the Accursed Kings series, drops the reader smack into the middle of French palace intrigues that surrounded the last year (1314) of the reign of Philippe IV (a.k.a. ![]() I *inhaled* these books (figuratively) at the age of 11, completely entranced by the fascinating world of historical intrigue, for the first time having realized that history is not just the boring collection of dates, names and battles - that the wheel of history can be turned by people who are very much unaware of the overarching implications of their actions and scheming. ![]() ¹ Actually, 'read' is an incorrect description. Well, for once I'm the cool kid (ahem, I mean, nerdy overachiever, of course) who can say - Well, I first read¹ these books years ago, having spent every penny of my sparse pocket money on these tomes. Which pretty much means that soon everyone and their grandma will be reading these. Martin has apparently called The Accursed Kings, a seven-book historical novel series by Maurice Druon, 'the original game of thrones'.

Coming to power at the cusp of the Harry Potter era, Funke has always been billed as a kind of second-rate J.K. And large mobs of people haven’t appeared in the streets demanding my very blood (yet). I figure Cornelia Funke has so much money at this point that even if she sees my review and is deeply offended to her core, at least she'll be able to console herself by rolling around in crisp Euros for a couple hours to take her mind off of the experience:Ĭornelia Funke is overrated. If so, here at least is my Inkspell review in full firey off-color glory. They don't usually enforce that one very carefully (I think my rant over Dave Barry's Peter Pan spin-off was at least 1,100) but maybe they've finally caught up with me. ![]() Methinks I may have gone over their supposed 1,000 word limit. ![]() I posted it yesterday but they're dragging their feetsies.

But when I see her, I forget about all that. Daniel- I've always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents' high expectations. Falling in love with him won't be my story. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. I'm definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. ![]() Natasha- I'm a girl who believes in science and facts. *Now a major film starring Yara Shahidi and Charles Melton* The New York Times bestselling love story from Nicola Yoon, author of Everything, Everything. ![]() ![]() So we follow Suedius Clemens who has been sent by Vespasian to settle disputes over land Decimus Satrius Lucretius Valens who is set to join Pompeii's elite magistrates following the death of his protector the Vettii brothers who were fabulously rich and ostentacious dealers in wine and perfume Pherusa, the runaway slave lusty young Rustus who is contemplating parricide. By concentrating on key members from each strata of Pompeiian society we are plunged into the everyday life of a city rebuilding itself, in the knowledge that it will all be for nothing when Vesuvius erupts. Alex Butterworth and Ray Laurence have synthesised the latest research into Pompeii to bring this period of flux and instability back to life. ![]() ![]() This startling new book concentrates on the twenty years between 59 and 79AD, thus beginning with the earthquake which all but destroyed Pompeii and ending with the volcanic eruption which has become part of our collective popular imagination. ![]() ![]() After getting sucked into the new game Full Blast with his best friend, Eric, Jesse quickly discovers that hes being followed by a mysterious figure. ![]() You see, a video game character is trying to kill him. Book One: Trapped in a Video Game Jesse hates video games - and for good reason. Sure, there are jetpacks, hover tanks, and infinite lives, but what happens when the game starts to turn on you? In this best-selling series, 12-year-old Jesse Rigsby finds out just how dangerous video games-and the people making those games - can be. Getting sucked into a video game is not as much fun as youd think. ![]() Book Synopsis Five books in one box! With nonstop action, huge plot twists, and tons of humor, this series will quickly have your 7- to 12-year-old video game fan begging for just one more chapter. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is that The Camp of the Saints is spectacularly wrong at nearly every level. ![]() But instead of slaughtering them all as Raspail would have wanted, France welcomes them with open arms and gets obliterated by the sheer demographic onslaught.īut the book's problem is not only that it sets up a denouement so cartoonish that even Mad Max writers would cringe. It creates a scenario in which a flotilla of a million leprous, lecherous Indian's arrives at the French Rivera seeking refuge. The book's central purpose is to show how liberalism has weakened France's resolve to defend its racial/cultural purity, I note in my column at The Week. A perennial cult classic among white supremacist groups, this book, in recent months has been hailed as "prescient" by conservative outfits such as American Conservative and The Federalist. ![]() A case in point is the revival of interest in a sick dystopia called the Camp of Saints penned by a French writer Jean Raspail in 1975. One such thing is the cover he is providing for even respectable conservatives to air racist ideas. There are many things to mourn about the rise of Donald Trump. From Wikipedia: 'The Camp of the Saints (French: Le Camp des Saints) is a 1973 French dystopian fiction novel by author and explorer Jean Raspail.
