The lyrical genius of Michael Moorcock defies categorization; his creations soar to grand and golden places hitherto unimagined and unimaginable. In this, his most heartfelt and astonishing work to date, he carries the reader across mystical thresholds viewed from afar in the brilliant Blood and Fabulous Harbors, and reveals the mighty destinies, exemplary loves, and the true and secret histories of his most beloved and intriguing characters. It is a tale of the incomparable Rose von Bek, who discovers the myriad possibilities that life has to offer in the special, infinitely wondrous places known as the Second Ether - where time has no bounds and existence is a river of endless reinvention. Here, also, is the love of her life - the volatile and enigmatic Sam Oakenburst - and the story of the ill-fated passion of the exotic Colinda Dovero and the swashbuckling gambler Jack Karaquazian. These four together - along with their exceptional companions, including Rose's mad uncle, Michael, late of Texas - will become allies in what some call the great War in Heaven, fighting shoulder-to-shoulder against the agents of evil and stagnation, in a battle whose outcome will determine the very nature of reality itself.

Michael, while searching for his enemies, unknowingly risks all when he falls in love with a human woman, Charlie. Lowering his defenses and assuming temporary human form to be with her, he is mortally wounded, trapping him in his human state.. Leading his army now will surely mean his death.

Faced with the ceaseless stream of news about war, crime, and terrorism, one could easily think this is the most violent age ever seen. Yet as bestselling author Pinker shows in this startling and engaging new work, just the opposite is true.

At the age of 63, in August 2008, the author withdrew from the practice of law to go back to Kindergarten and observe his wife, Karen, commence her 33rd consecutive year teaching Kindergarten in Room 1 at Grover Beach Elementary School and where, over the next three years, until her retirement in June of 2011, he confirmed her beatific nature, the majesty of her teaching and the beauty of the angels in her care. The one hundred and eighty-four stories in this book are a tribute to a magnificent teacher and her little angels. WHERE ABRAHAM LINCOLN DIED In the week of, and before, Abraham Lincolns birthday, Karen gave the angels a brief synopsis of the life and importance of Abraham Lincoln, to help explain why he is so revered in American life and forever remembered by the glorious Lincoln Memorial and the national day of celebration to honor his birth. She told them about his childhood in a log cabin; his love of learning, reading by the flickering light of a candle; his prowess as a rail splitter; his exceptional ability as a lawyer; how he became president of the United States; how his leadership won the Civil War; how he freed the slaves; his indelible speeches at Gettysburg and at the second inaugural; and how he was killed just after the war had ended, shot by John Wilkes Booth at Fords Theatre in Washington, DC. Immediately after Karen finished, an inattentive angel asked: Is he still alive? Another angel spontaneously responded: He died at the movies.

This is the story of Ulrich von Bek, a cynical mercenary who sells his skills as a soldier in the wars taking place all over Europe. After the particularly horrific destruction of a city in which he played a role, von Bek decides to desert the military company he was working for and travel alone for awhile before seeking further employment. On his solo journey, he happens upon a castle where he takes refuge with - and then falls in love with - the keeper of the castle, the beautiful Sabrina. It is in this castle that he meets Lucifer, the master of Hell, and finds out that his soul is already destined for Hell. And so, in exchange for his soul, von Bek agrees to go on a quest for Lucifer, namely to find the Cure for the World's Pain. This quest is also known as the Search for the Holy Grail.

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The “remarkable” (Ken Burns), “utterly absorbing” (Forbes) Civil War classic that inspired the film Gettysburg, with more than three million copies in print “My favorite historical novel . . . a superb re-creation of the Battle of Gettysburg, but its real importance is its insight into what the war was about, and what it meant.”—James M. McPherson In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nation’s history, two armies fought for two conflicting dreams. One dreamed of freedom, the other of a way of life. Far more than rifles and bullets were carried into battle. There were memories. There were promises. There was love. And far more than men fell on those Pennsylvania fields. Bright futures, untested innocence, and pristine beauty were also the casualties of war. Michael Shaara’s Pulitzer Prize–winning masterpiece is unique, sweeping, unforgettable—the dramatic story of the battleground for America’s destiny.

While working on Top Secret Papers from the President of the United States, something out of this world happened... Sports Executive Michael Mullen recounts chilling journeys to a Secret World of Angels at War. "War of the Angels: The Dark World" is the original War of the Angels book and is now entering is fourth printing. It is a TRUE story of supernatural encounters that warn of an escalating Middle East conflict that culminates into World War III and the coming reign of the Antichrist. Although the book was written a quarter-century ago, it was not released until August, 2001, a mere three weeks prior to the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. The final chapter was written in the year 2000, telling that Islamic terrorism was would to spread to every nation, including the United States. Ironically, Mullen wrote that chapter while living with Mohamed Atta, the mastermind of the WTC terrorist attack. He again crossed paths with Atta just prior to 9-11, an occurrence that drew the attention of the FBI. In 1976, Michael Mullen was writing a book about the horrendous sinking of the WWII ship, USS Indianapolis (of JAWS fame), based upon TOP SECRET papers released exclusively to him by President Gerald Ford. Mullen had the interest of every major publishing house in the country, when suddenly, the Man on the Shroud of Turin commanded that he quit writing that book, and instead, write what would become War of the Angels. He told Mullen, "Write what you see." War of the Angels was Divinely Inspired. It was written as commanded by the Man whose image is embedded on the Shroud of Turin. It is based upon first-hand encounters. Not only does it detail the world of angels, but also such phenomena as: the Star of Bethlehem; the Shroud of Turin; the Cloud World of the Rapture; the Bottomless Pit of the demons; and much more. Mullen saw SahTAHN being cast into hell, and he stood beside Jesus in the Great White Throne Room as World War Three was launched by Russia. War of the Angels "takes you there." War of the Angels is the most authoritative book on angel warfare ever written. It is based upon actual experiences, written by a very credible source. Michael Mullen helped pioneer the NBA into the computer age. He was recognized as the top computer analyst in professional basketball, and was acknowledged by the White House and the U.S. Senate. He also had career stints in Major League Baseball, USA Olympics, was General Manager for the former Ringling Bros. winter headquarters, hosted Fox Sports TV events, and more.
