Where did you buy this?""A tailor, in the woods. Let go of me, woman. What is with you? What is this about?""What was the name of the shop! You must tell me, Gregory!"He tried to undo her claw-like grasp on his arms but to no avail. She was digging her fingers in for dear life."Tell me!""The Verdant Egress! Why?"Caralynne turned to flee the room, meaning to head for the door once more, but Gregory was quicker. His hand shot out, drunk or not, and he turned her back towards him."You can't go out at this hour alone! It's unheard of!""Let go of me!" Caralynne squealed, pushing at him."Caralynne, I can't let you leave…not like this!"For a moment, she paused and looked up at him. In his cups or no, he was stronger than her. This wouldn’t be easy for her to say, but there was much at stake. And she would give anything to leave the house in this very moment. There was no time to spare."If you…if you let me leave, I shall return…"Her hands were gentle as she pressed them lightly to his velvety vest and pushed him away from her. She saw him swallow at the merest hint of heat in her touch, but still he didn't let go of her arms."When I return, I shall…I shall find you. In your…bedroom…"Lord Esteban's eyes widened at the suggestion. Caralynne nodded, knowing he had made the connection she intended. Whether she would keep that soft agreement she had just made or not, she didn't care. But she needed to leave. Now."When you return," Gregory said carefully, "I'll be in my bedroom. Attend me there. Like a wife should…"Caralynne nodded this time and slowly, Lord Esteban let her go. Then she turned and left the room, running for the door that a servant was already opening for her. With barely enough time to draw her cloak hood up over her head, she ran out into the rain and into the night. Views: 409
The next novel from author Bryce Zabel, whose debut,Surrounded by Enemies: What if Kennedy Survived Dallas? won the coveted Sidewise Award for Alternate History."We know The Beatles let it be, but what if they worked it out instead? This book gives life to every fan's fantasy. It's a great new adventure full of twists and turns that never were, but might have been." —Chris Carter, host, Breakfast with the Beatles & Chris Carter's British Invasion (Sirius/XM Radio)We all know the tragic story by now. After seven years as the most popular rock-and-roll group the world has ever seen, The Beatles—torn apart by personal and creative differences—called it quits in 1970, never to play together again. The fact that their contemporaries like the Rolling Stones are still playing today makes their ending even more painful.Once There Was a Way: What if The Beatles Stayed Together? is a story of another reality, the one we...

This
book will equally shock atlanticists and anti-Americans, as it
targets both their vulgates.
Ever
since the fall of the USSR, traditional American imperialism has
undergone a profound change of essence and chosen to follow the path
of suicidal excess, striving to achieve global domination through its
novel mockery of the Roman Empire. But what accounts for such
conceited folly, such ‘hubris’? Is it the neoconservative
ideology, the financial interests of the military-industrial and
petro-political complexes, the influence of the Israeli lobby,
exaggerated nationalism or some other factor? These are the questions
that this book attempts to answer. Nevertheless, the author does not
believe that this New American Imperialism, which has taken on a
simultaneously military and techno-economic shape, could ever
represent a mortal threat to our European continent.
He
condemns both atlanticist milieus and those who have surrendered to
obsessive and hysterical anti-Americanism, an anti-Americanism that
is as ridiculous as it is counterproductive. He tackles both
Americanophilia and Americanophobia, a perilous endeavour by any
means. In his view, it is not America, whose power is highly
overestimated, that embodies a mortal danger from the European point
of view, but rather those who tolerate and contribute to the ethnic
invasion afflicting Europe, even if some milieus in Washington do
rejoice at this development and encourage it, without, however, being
responsible for it. The USA is seen not as Europe’s principal
enemy, but as a mere adversary. There is yet another notion suggested
by the author, one that complements the concept of
Euro-Siberia: Septentrion,
meaning the reunification of all peoples of European origin. It is no
longer from a geopolitical perspective that the latter is to be
understood, but an ethno-political one. Views: 409
