The Last of the Mohicans: A Narrative of 1757 is a historical novel by James Fenimore Cooper published in 1826. It is the second book of the Leatherstocking Tales pentalogy and the best known to contemporary audiences. The Last of the Mohicans is set in 1757, during the French and Indian War (the Seven Years\' War), when France and Great Britain battled for control of North America. During this war, both the French and the British used Native American allies, but the French were particularly dependent, as they were outnumbered in the Northeast frontier areas by the more numerous British colonists. The novel is primarily set in the upper New York wilderness, detailing the transport of the two daughters of Colonel Munro, Alice and Cora, to a safe destination at Fort William Henry. According to the Encyclopedia of Media and Propaganda in Wartime America, the novel has been one of the "most popular novels in English" since its publication and it remains "widely read in American literature courses". It has been adapted numerous times and in different languages for films, TV movies and cartoons. Views: 284

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) may have traveled more than the characters in some of his critically acclaimed and world renowned novels. Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and traveling writer who wore classics like Treasure Island, Kidnapped and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Stevenson was so accomplished that he was a celebrity during his lifetime, and he left an influence on great writers who followed him, including Hemingway and Kipling. At the same time, his works are easy enough to read that they can be taught in classrooms across the world to teenagers. Views: 283

For the first time, all three of Eric M. Black's novels come together to tell the complete story!
The story starts with Juan Ponce de Leon. Most people know that Juan discovered North America. But very few people know that in his search for the Fountain of Youth, Juan actually found a fountain: but it was a fountain that originally came from the Garden of Eden.
Once the discovery is made, Juan has to fight his nemesis, Diego Columbus, son of famed explorer Christopher Columbus. During the battle, however, Diego is mortally wounded and Juan is forced to save Diego’s life by taking him to the mythical Garden of Eden where he can be healed.
A transformation happens and Juan and Diego become leaders in an ancient fight against a band of fallen angels known as the Watchers.
The Watchers learn the whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant and use the power within the Ark to take over creation. Juan and Diego lead a group of assembled warriors against the angels, their sons the Nephilim and a mysterious people known as the Elioud. Through the help of King Solomon, these warriors must seek the answers found in the Book of Jubilees to finally eliminate the threat that has faced mankind since the beginning.
The story continues with the murders of Jack the Ripper. The murders are well documented but there were other murders that were not documented, and played a significant role in the altering of history.
During World War I, a young officer name Adolph Hitler was just beginning to make his name. Jack is present when Hitler is unexpectedly killed during the Battle of Passchendaele by a man who shouldn’t have been there. Vincent Shakespeare is the man responsible for killing the future dictator of Nazi Germany and the death creates a shift in history, impacting the lives of countless people – some for the better and some for not.
Vincent learns that he has traveled back in time against his will and is joined by Libby Williams, the President of the United States, who discovers she has taken Woodrow Wilson’s place in history. They work together to make a post-Great War world a better place but that changes when Jack murders Libby.
Vincent teams up with Woodrow Wilson, the man who should have been President, to seek out Jack and end his murderous ways. Their efforts are complicated by others from Jack’s past who want to see him dead as well.
More Anger than Sorrow reminds us that love can be timeless, that changing history is not without consequences and that sometimes your past can come back to kill you.
The story concludes with Babel, who is a regular guy. He works hard. He loves football. He enjoys good food. And, he can start fires with his mind.
He lives a normal life until his father disappears. The trail leads to the Taj Mahal in India where Babel learns that the reflecting pool of the Taj Mahal is actually a gateway to another world. Babel discovers that not only is he from that other world, but he must go there if he is to save his father. Armed with only his ability to start fires and assisted by those who want to rid their world of evil, Babel embarks on an unbelievable quest to save not only that world, but his own as well.
