History: Fiction or Science? Chronology 2 (Chronology)
`History: Fiction or Science? Chronology 2` is the second volume of the most explosive and astounding tractate on history ever written - however, every theory it contains, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by rock solid scientific data. The book is easy and pleasant to read; it is well-illustrated, contains hundreds of charts, graphs and illustrations, copies of ancient manuscripts, and countless facts attesting to the falsity of the chronology used nowadays. You will be amazed to discover: - That the chronology universally accepted today and taken for granted is simply wrong; - That ALL methods of dating of ancient sources and artefacts known today are erroneous or non-exact; - That there is not a single document that could be reliably dated earlier than the XIth century; The Author refers to the Middle Ages as the “Antiquity” and proves mutual superimposition of the Second and the Third Roman Empire, both of which become identified as the respective kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Furthermore, he asserts that the famous reform of the Occidental Church in the XI century by “Pope Gregory Hildebrand” was the reflection of the XII century reforms of Byzantine emperor Andronicus who in his turn identifies with Jesus Christ. The Trojan war counted by Homer happened only as late as of the XIII century A.D. and the great poet actually lived in XIV century A.D. No stone in history of Antiquity is left unturned. Literally. This book is the beginning of a major correction to the chronology we live with..

Thus Spake Zarathustra - A Book For All And None
No modern philosopher has been more completely misquoted and misrepresented than Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900). His phrase, "God is dead", his insistence that the meaning of life is to be found in purely human terms, and his doctrine of the superman and the will to power were all later seized upon and unrecognizably twisted by, among others, Nazi intellectuals. This translation of "Thus spoke Zarathustra" a spiritual odyssey through the modern world, enables the reader to judge for themselves an original thinker who has had a powerful influence upon such 20th century writers as Shaw, Mann, Sartre and Camus..

Would you do anything to rescue your best friend...even kill him?

At 14, superhuman Canyon Terry was the world's mightiest boy. But the young athlete's short temper proves to be his undoing.

Whenever Canyon thinks someone is hurting his family or friends, he does not hesitate to use his immense physical strength and other powers to inflict a gruesome vengeance. But more and more, his efforts are being rebuffed by the very people he thinks he is protecting.

When he is held back from pursuing an attempted killer, Canyon loses all patience, and turns his anger upon his best friend, Western Cobert. Canyon's callousness severs their friendship, and causes Western to fall into the hands of Adam, a demonic youth who takes control of Western's body in his plan to destroy his superhuman rival.

Canyon cannot stop Adam without killing Western as well. Faced with an impossible dilemma, he makes a fateful decision with tragic consequences.

In this sequel to Child Over Human, Canyon finally learns that true superhuman power lies not in brute strength, but in patience, understanding, and love..
