Levant Fever: True stories from #Syria's underground. #memoir

by 
Wajdy Mustafa


Levant Fever is a memoir from the political underground darkness of Assad’s Syria. 
Seen through the eyes of a boy growing into a man, in the middle of feverish historic events. 
Not widely understood, or told before in the West but at the roots of the current conflicts. The narrative grips the reader with its honesty, brutality and beauty. 
The author describes his own journey, reflections and life stories told to him whilst he was held without trial for 14 years, as a political prisoner in several prisons. 
These included Palmyra, noted by Amnesty International as one of the most oppressive prisons in the world. 
Amazon
The work is an enthralling and informative mosaic reflecting the colours, sects, religions, politics, legends and geography of the Levant. 
The journey spans the areas deserts, coastline, mountains and forests. It speaks of family, friendship, love, hope, fear, torture, hiding and escaping. 
A truly human tale of a life well lived, a life of conscience, courage and endurance and ultimately one of triumph of the human spirit.

Imprisoned for brutal crimes against his wardens, Fly became an unwilling experiment and was transported, with other criminals, to a hostile planet. 
Full of mutiny, anger and a desire for revenge the experiment was never going to be successful and Fly became the only survivor when the craft crashed.
Then the human ship arrived -- and Jenny.
 

 With a malfunctioning spacecraft she was in for a fight for her life, but her problems were only just beginning when her crewmates abandon her on Eden.
Jenny's on her own... or so she thinks.

‘I’m scared’, Fly had said. He was never scared. He was her hero. Her rugged hero made up from all the romance books she’d read. Big, bold and beautiful—in an alien kind of way.
Jenny's from Earth. Fly's from Itor. By a quirk of fate they met. She tamed him and they fell in love. They live idyllic lives in a protected corner of the world away from the wolf-like people and savage tribes of Neanderthals, and when Jenny discovers she’s pregnant they feel things can’t get any more perfect.




 But things are changing outside their little kingdom. The wolf-people are disbanding and someone, or something, appears to be hunting the Neanderthals. Fly makes provisions to protect all that’s dear to him, but then he just doesn’t return home. Jenny knows he’s alive somewhere, but alone with her baby daughter, is she equipped to deal with the new horror that awaits her?

This sequel will have you turning the pages wondering if happy ever afters are possible in this conclusion to Eden.

She's losing her job.
She's losing her boyfriend.
She can only afford to eat spaghetti hoops on toast.
She's called Charlie... or Charlotte, or ginger, ginge, Duracell,
carrot.
Yet with all these odds against her, she pushes forward to
take the lead story on her paper at London Core.


 Shame no one knows. Shame she's the office general assistant and not a real journalist.
Shame it's on missing prostitutes and Charlie thinks pretending to be a 'tart
with a heart' will get her that story.
She doesn't just get a story.
She becomes the starring role.

‘Cinders’ Valerie Anthrope has two ugly conditions holding her back: insomnia and paranoia. 
Her fairy godmother is overbearing Ellen Semple, who interferes in all aspects of Valerie’s life. 
Prince Charming is the delectable Lex Kendal who relentlessly pursues Valerie. 
The glass slipper is Boots the cat. A furry friend that Valerie loses and must find before happiness can squish her ugly ‘sisters’.

This version is darker than the average fairy-tale—just like The Brothers Grimm intended.
Tissues are a must!

Darwin's Delusion: A Great "Scientific" Joke #nonfiction


 by
 Jianyi Zhang

The Darwinian Theory of Evolution is probably the most contentious scientific theory in the human history. Supporters revere it as the most magnificent and beautiful of theories. That being said, only a very small handful of people truly understand the meaning of Darwinism and neo-Darwinism as well as what they encompass. The majority of people only have scant knowledge of the theories, having only heard about them during biology classes, via mainstream media or through accolades from the scientific community. Consequently, they blindly believe whatever others say.



Smashwords

The purpose of this book is to enlighten readers to the fact that Darwinism is not the great theory it is made out to be. Rather, it is a lie – compounded by fantasy, imagination and contradictions. This theory has already been disproved by science in the succeeding century, but due to the mainstream scientific community’s sophistry and play on semantics, it has become entrenched as a flawless theory when it is in reality, a false science.

The first few articles in this book serve to introduce neo-Darwinism as well as analyze and evaluate the same, so that readers can grasp what this theory is all about. The Darwinian theoreticians often point out that their theory is supported by a vast amount of scientific evidence. In this book, the author illuminates us by dissecting this so-called modern scientific evidence and revealing it to be misleading, irrelevant and far-fetched.

A salient characteristic of a scientific theory is the inherent possibility to prove it to be false, also known as falsifiability. It follows then that a theory that is not falsifiable must be false science. Another reason why neo-Darwinism is perplexing is this – on the surface, it appears to be a scientific theory but in reality it is not falsifiable - it is merely a theory “masquerading” itself as science.

This book has also used several articles to analyze the harm and suffering inflicted on humanity as a consequence of the Darwinian theory and “Social Darwinism” (that derived from it). The Chinese are precisely the victims of this theory.

The first edition (Chinese) of this book was published in 2012 by Guangming Daily Press. In this English edition, 5 new articles and several illustrations were added, totaling 38 articles in all.

 Alice: Queen of Hearts
 An Alice in Wonderland Novel (Lost in Wonderland)

Just one moment, as the leaves turned from green to red and the breeze carried on its back the cool embrace of Autumn, set in motion a life-changing spiralling effect…

 As Alice is drawn down the path paved for her by Red—Lord Overseer, Wonderland’s King of Hearts—her world begins to twist and change. The tranquillity of a simple life is left behind as she chooses to fall; a descent that seems never-ending but which takes her that little bit closer to the only real love she has ever known—and the life she has dared to dream.

Amazon.com 

But in Wonderland, nothing is as it seems.

As the earth tilts on its axis and Alice’s perspective becomes distorted and dizzying, she must face sacrificing everything she has ever known and face the Queen of Hearts with one objective: dethrone her. If she succeeds, the King of Hearts awaits. But if she fails, Alice could find herself lost in a world where everything is nonsense.
