Al-Khidr was inside the Hall of Stars, and now he was moving inside a wormhole—a cosmic tunnel that opened up right above the Hall of Stars was spiraling down through galaxies like a coiled serpent from planet Lyra toward Earth. He was unaware of the alien major General Hatathor, who was also sucked into the wormhole due to his own act of charging sequence disruption. Where the wormhole was leading? None of them knew. But the one thing sure to the aliens was that the jump was going to happen both in time and space.

A fast paced young adult story of Keith Johnson, a 13 year old boy and his older brother, who are hired to guide an eccentric old man search the mountains of the Four Corners area of the American Southwest for a legendary Spanish silver mine.

The Second Amendment and gun control are problems that affect many aspects of our lives: They are political, economic, criminal, social, and juridical, but also ethical. The purpose of this book is to look at how, starting with the Second Amendment, the United States developed a firearms culture unlike any other country on the planet. In reality, people enjoy and attempt to preserve life like in America. Still, they do not respect gun violence enough to abolish it entirely. However, it is one of their country's first obstacles to a long and healthy life.

German women played an essential role in the Nazi movement that outweighed the Nazi Party's propaganda that a woman's position was solely in the home as mothers and child-bearers. This book investigates Magda Goebbels, Leni Riefenstahl, and Winifred Wagner and how they became enchanted by Hitler and Nazi philosophy. The women concurred with Hitler's longing to renew Germany's significance and perceived that once he became Chancellor, they would benefit enormously. These women didn't act as indicated by the standards of the times. They got out of the endorsed jobs relegated to ladies.

Violence impacts everyone. Maybe it doesn’t impinge on you directly. Maybe you and your loved ones feel safe most of the time. But the sad reality is, we know that violence is happening all the time, somewhere in our country, our cities, our towns, and our neighborhoods. Sometimes we see it, sometimes we don’t. Sometimes it makes the news; usually it doesn’t.
