Challenging convention with the SF nonconformist Roger Zelazny combined poetic prose with fearless literary ambition to become one of the most influential science fiction writers of the 1960s. Yet many critics found his later novels underachieving and his turn to fantasy a disappointment. F. Brett Cox surveys the landscape of Zelazny's creative life and contradictions. Launched by the classic 1963 short story "A Rose for Ecclesiastes," Zelazny soon won the Hugo Award for Best Novel with ...And Call Me Conrad and two years later won again for Lord of Light. Cox looks at the author's overnight success and follows Zelazny into a period of continued formal experimentation, the commercial triumph of the Amber sword and sorcery novels, and renewed acclaim for Hugo-winning novellas such as "Home Is the Hangman" and "24 Views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai." Throughout, Cox analyzes aspects of Zelazny's art, from his preference for poetically alienated protagonists to the ways his plots reflected his determined individualism. Clear-eyed and detailed, Roger Zelazny provides an up-to-date reconsideration of an often-misunderstood SF maverick.

What if God embedded a code in the Bible that could only be cracked in the end times--a prophetic cypher that reveals how the four blood moons and the biblical Shemitah are just signs of the beginning of end-time events? Unlocking a great mystery that has puzzled scholars for nearly two thousand years, THE BABYLON CODE reveals how powerful forces are now at work to create a global government, cashless society, and universal religion as predicted by the prophets. The result of a five-year journalistic investigation, THE BABYLON CODE takes readers on a spellbinding journey to explore the link between the world's most secret organizations, the Bible's greatest prophetic riddle, and what world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham describes as a convergence in end-time signs for the first time in history. This prophetic mystery book pieces together the apocalyptic puzzle--uncovering what may be not only the biggest story and political scandal in modern history, but also the secret to both our survival and our salvation.

This second book of the Unveiling Series, Unveiling Three Parts of Babylon, by Dr. William C. Taggart III, offers a biblical study based on Revelation 16:19 where the kingdom of Satan, portrayed as the great city Babylon, falls into three parts. The author noted that in Revelation 18:4, the saints are urged to leave Babylon to avoid her plagues, Jeremiah 51: 35, 49. That the Satanic kingdom is portrayed biblically in three parts in Revelation 16:19, makes it imperative that the saints have a biblical understanding of those three parts to exit the Satanic kingdom completely. A correct biblical understanding of the three parts of Babylon is essential to the fleeing saints as they seek to escape the Satanic influences in all its forms. Unveiling Three Parts of Babylon continues the Unveiling Series by further biblically developing the three parts of Babylon which initially was presented by the author’s doctoral dissertation through corrections made and additional analysis. This second book not only exposes more fully the kingdom of Satan but encourages the successful exit of all humanity from the Babylonian entanglements of all three parts, Revelation 18:4.
