Book Synopsis The Earthquake Prophet by : David H. Brandin
Download or read book The Earthquake Prophet written by David H. Brandin and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-07-22 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this distinctive collection of thirty-nine short stories, author David H. Brandin mixes satire and political incorrectness with startling story-line twists in the tradition of O. Henry. Divided into four parts, The Earthquake Prophet combines modern history, fantasy, and current events to deliver a treasure trove of prose. Brandin delves into a variety of subjects that range from earthquake prediction and World War II to the hot political topics of today such as global warming, sanctuary cities, and TSAs no-?y lists. With wit and his own unique brand of humor, Brandin o?ers an interesting explanation for the collapse of the American economic system; deftly describes the inanity of professional politicians; exposes corruption in the judicial system; and skewers high-stakes issues in national security. Stories also explore how the ordinary can turn extraordinary. Scuba diving takes a strange turn, a piano lesson lapses into terror, and an unusual Texas slot machine creates quite the controversy. Blending political, historical, and general ?ction with tales of science ?ction and fantasy, The Earthquake Prophet promises a fascinating literary adventure.

Download or read book The Horns of Moses written by David H. Brandin and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-11-13 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Green wants payback. It's been more than thirty years since his son, Aaron, was murdered by Arabs in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. And after the 2006 war in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah, Green has abandoned all hope that the Israelis can defeat the Arab militants. Now it's 2007, and David is ready to avenge his son's death-on his own terms. David calls on his oldest group of friends, the Stony Island Gang, to help him execute Project Moses, his brazen plan to send terminally ill Jewish suicide bombers into Palestine and Lebanon to target one hundred Arab terrorists. Together, the men argue the moral implications of David's proposal. Echoing the centuries-old debate over the horns on Michelangelo's statue of Moses, they question whether murder is always unthinkable or sometimes justifiable. Despite misgivings, the gang puts Project Moses into action and begins the hunt for willing recruits. As their scheme takes shape, David and his friends cannot possibly know the chaos, suspicion, and international panic that are about to ensue. Can murder and treachery possibly pave the road to peace?

Download or read book REUBEN’s GRIFT written by David H. Brandin and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2024-09-16 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REUBEN ....I’d driven to Santa Ana from South Laguna to tell John Blackburn, a reporter from the Santa Ana Register, about two future forecasts I’d recently completed. I’d had a particularly intense dream and tried a rebuilt simplified set of equations without the earth tides that still eluded me. But I’d gotten two results that were very persuasive. It was February 5, 1971. Blackburn, smiled. “Reuben, you’ve got quite an impressive history here, Eighty-seven percent accuracy in ’35, you said?” “I looked up the July 11, 1935 New York Times article,” he added. “The writer, Lawrence, was pretty complimentary.” I appreciated he did his homework, but I had mixed feelings about his comment. I feared he might have seen the August 1, 1935 Times Science Editor article, which was the opposite of complimentary.... “This is good work, Reuben,” John said, “But these predictions are history. What about the future earthquakes you mentioned on the phone? That’s what our readers want to know.” I smiled. I had a hot one for him in Southern California, Magnitude 6.6 at 6:03 AM, in just four days, and a less imminent forecast, for January 1973 in San Francisco. That was the one that excited me, even though some of the computational results needed double-checking. It could be an accurate prediction of the “Big One.” But boy, did I hit a home run on February 9, 1971—the Southern California Sylmar earthquake struck at 6:01 AM with Magnitude 6.7—it was only two minutes early ...

Book excerpt: Ghislaine Girabaldi slammed her classified copy of an NSA briefing paper on her desk in front of Alicia Clooney. “What’s this?” demanded the speaker. “Have you been to church lately?” Alicia Clooney picked up the document. The paper was an intelligence agency brief, classified Top Secret and NOFORN, which meant No Foreign access, with the subject line: “Islamic Jihad meetings in Damascus over the Stony Island Gang.” “Is there something in here that matters to me?” asked Alicia. “I don’t know anyone in Syria. And why, if it’s Top Secret, are you showing it to me?” The speaker pursed her lips. “Don’t bullshit me. You’ve seen a lot more than this, Alicia. God only knows how much Intel John gave you. But this involves your estranged husband, terrorists, and a priest.” “Okay, what did John do now?” “He offered a bribe to the head of Islamic Jihad.” Alicia gasped. “To do what? How much? Why?” “He wants Islamic Jihad to kill that old Jew, David Green,” said Girabaldi.

Download or read book Willful Intent written by David H. Brandin and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1986, it takes LAPD Officer Donald Henderson just ninety seconds, while in foot pursuit of suspected car thieves in South Central Los Angeles, to plant the crosshairs of future government civil rights charges on his back. After he is absolved repeatedly of excessive force charges, Henderson falls afoul of the public fury over the 1991 beating of Rodney King and simultaneously loses his badge and his freedom. Some thirty years later, Officer Hendersons prosecutor, Keisha Howard, is now a senior official in the Justice Department and on the short list to become the next attorney general. Known for targeting law enforcement for civil rights violations that include the Henderson case, Keisha acknowledges she has a chip on her shoulder and that an AG appointment will lock it in its rightful place forever. But just as she is preparing to secure the nomination, LAPD officers chase and beat up a teenage Hispanic suspect, bringing the Henderson case into the public eye once again. Now with her dreams for power in jeopardy, Keisha searches for answers within her memories of the trial. But what she does not know is that the past is about to rise up and change everything. Willful Intent shares the gripping tale of an ambitious assistant US attorneys journey as she embarks on a quest to achieve her professional dream and impede the repercussions from a past prosecution.

Book excerpt: David Brandin loves tales that end with an unusual twist. In his collection of thirty-eight flash fiction stories, he cleverly intertwines satire with political incorrectness to deliver one of-a-kind political, historical, science fiction, and fantasy tales that each come to a surprising conclusion. Divided into four sections, Brandins stories begin by exploring political scheming as a president struggles with a church sermon on the seven deadly sins; a poorly qualified candidate defends his nomination to an ambassadorship; and asylum is claimed under unusual circumstances. As Brandin continues into historical and fantasy tales, eclectic characters are brought to the forefront as a statistics professor attempts to beat the odds on airplane bombs; an attempt is made to reengineer the wings of chickens; Chicago politicians struggle with a plan to reduce gang warfare; and a robot wonders whether sex is possible. In his final section, Brandin chronicles the life story of a small boy cursed by Lord Shiva. Wings is a collection of unique short stories that delivers satire, humor, and surprise endings as a group of wide-ranging personalities try to overcome lifes most challenging obstacles.
Download or read book Queen as King written by Therese Martin and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-10-31 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queen as King traces the origins of San Isidoro in León as a royal monastic complex, following its progress as the site changed from a small eleventh-century palatine chapel housed in a double monastery to a great twelfth-century pilgrimage church served by Augustinian canons. Its most groundbreaking contribution to the history of art is the recovery of the lost patronage of Queen Urraca (reigned 1109-1126). Urraca maintained yet subverted her family’s tradition of patronage on the site: to understand her history is to hold the key to the art and architecture of San Isidoro. This new approach to San Isidoro and its patronage allows a major Romanesque monument to be understood more fully than before.

Download or read book Shōgun written by James Clavell and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 1483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss, and he is torn between two worlds that will each be forever changed. Powerful and engrossing, capturing both the rich pageantry and stark realities of life in feudal Japan, Shōgun is a critically acclaimed powerhouse of a book. Heart-stopping, edge-of-your-seat action melds seamlessly with intricate historical detail and raw human emotion. Endlessly compelling, this sweeping saga captivated the world to become not only one of the best-selling novels of all time but also one of the highest-rated television miniseries, as well as inspiring a nationwide surge of interest in the culture of Japan. Shakespearean in both scope and depth, Shōgun is, as the New York Times put it, “...not only something you read—you live it.” Provocative, absorbing, and endlessly fascinating, there is only one: Shōgun.
