    Douglas Ayr's submarine began an uncontrolled dive toward the massive plain of the seamount at nine hundred feet, leaving her sister vessel, the Helena, as a dark spec against the distant moon-silver surface. "e;Dive, go after him!"e; Martin shouted. Having dodged the sinking debris, the Helena started a crash dive. Meanwhile, the sub had gone from tail up to nose up and kept sinking slowly at a thirty-degree angle. The tail hit the barren stone plain first, crushing the planes and screws. Then, the boat settled on its keel in a horizontal position, resting on the three beams that were still in place under the belly. The Helena descended on an even keel. "e;I've got her on sonar,"e; Benny reported, "e;belly landing."e; "e;Put us next to her,"e; Martin said, striving to speak clearly. Chris, Van, Greg, Rainer, Young, Woo, Huang, Brian--all the others were in shock.

    I think these scriptures are some reflections to open doors. A small path in moments becomes a cage. Cages that have the door open but we don't want to leave. Doors that sometimes seem closed when creating customs. To be able to forget the noise that it can destroy when we put attention to it. Plant a seed from which silence makes it grow. Simply rebuild a new renaissance in history. To exit systems which can be exchanged with actions. To find how wonderful the glitter of love is.

    Walking On The Tiny Edge is a unique literary classic without chapters. Rather, the Author adopted a fictional style of having subtitles with topics that are relevant with the current happenings. The Author used some figurative expressions which includes lots of imagery and metaphors that are garnished with satirical pour of issues. These are current challenges that beset Nigeria, Africa and the world especially the coronavirus that has brought the world to its knees altering our ways of life. The Author is of the view that we are walking on tiny edges which elapses when our time on mother earth is ends. It is a journey on tiny edges which one could fall off the cliff of life without a premonition. This literary work had a portion with tributes from colleagues on their unending pains of the departure of their loved ones. The book is in honour of the colleagues of the Author who passed on unexpectedly.

    SPARKS FROM THE GLOOM is a fervent regret on the absurdities of life to a fragile mankind caught up in their frustrating webs as well as an attack on the ills that plague the society of men through their fellow kite-like humankind who engage themselves in cold vampire type search for gain for coveted super-beings over their mortal mades. The work high-lights through solid probes the real values, long forgotten by these to the benefit of the fickle, porous and sham world for the super gods they strive at. A close look at the metaphorical style and the diction of the pieces in this collection also brings to mind that, far from harping solely on the moral ills of the society, the poet equally delves into the breaking intellectual ability of such darkening masses to conceive and construe in their real forms and contents, what is of value per se. Working towards solutions to these, the work stretches from the layman's conception of phenomena to a much more close-knitted, subtle an metaphorical style meant for those that could conceive, analyse and build at a higher level. Hence, everyone, from a mellow-moulded adolescent to a literary don would find the subjects worth their contents and objectives.

    There have been many books written, and much research carried out, about this Queen, who is so well revered by this country, and held up as a figure to be admired and remembered for all time, that she has a statue in her honour in Westminster, London. Boudicca had her kingdom cruelly taken from her by the occupying Roman forces, when her husband died. We have a few paragraphs, written by a Roman, named 'Tacitus' which tells us how Boudicca was invited to a meeting with the Romans, which she thought was to welcome her as the Queen of the Iceni. She did not receive the hospitality she expected, and the treatment that she, and her daughters received, are believed to be the trigger for what happened next. The Romans under-estimated the strength and grit of Boudicca and the fanatical support of her people, and came to regret their actions. The book tells the story of Boudicca's campaign to reclaim her kingdom. Written to inform the reader about the way of life of the ancient Britons, it tells how the occupying Roman forces ruled them. How Boudicca inspired her tribesmen and led them in a campaign that saw the destruction of Colchester, London and St Albans.

    Everyone searches for Love. In its many forms it can bring happiness, contentment and peace. In these poems I've tried to define different kinds of love. One single idea of love is far too much of a generalization. There's passionate love that drives the need to procreate, there's the tender and constant love of family, also the love of pets and how we weep for them when they're no longer with us. There's the love of all things in Nature. Whatever kind of love we choose, it always comes from the heart. Ultimately, there's the love radiating from the wondrous Universe which permeates our bones, sinews and every atom of our being. We are all made of the same stuff, this Stardust - this Divine Light.

    My years are heading already downhill,The footprints of the past have a cold feeling. I wander through fogs with my old shouldersAnd with my unfulfilled overdue dreams. My poem cannot be more rhythmic than yours. Raiment of the ploughman attracts my rhythms. Your words are the beautiful play of the leopardess,And my poems rise from the moistened earth.

    A hundred years ago, vegans were regarded with disdain and seen as weird and weakly. In Vegan Veteran, author Peter Burdin shares the story of his father, Roy, as he battled to promote a vegan and vegetarian diet, a diet that's finally become mainstream as a healthy lifestyle choice and a major contributor to combatting climate change. Burdin also tells how Roy lived through World War II as he worked on the top-secret-radar project that thwarted Hitler's attempts to invade Britain, defeated the Nazi war machine in Normandy, assisted in the Desert War, and played a key role in Operation Market Garden at Arnhem and the liberation of the concentration camps. Vegan Veteran narrates a compelling biography filled with adventure, love, and resilience that sweeps through the horrors of the World War I, the poverty of the Great Depression, World War II, and the privations that followed in the post-war world of the nuclear weapons age and the Cold War. Above all, it's the story of two of the so-called Greatest Generation, their wartime romance which survived the war, the great social upheavals that followed, and the family they created.

    Tall Tales of Malaysia is a collection of 18 vivid and memorable short stories about life in the Federation of Malaysia. The stories vary greatly in scope and theme. However, taken together, they capture the distinctive flavour of the people and states that make up modern Malaysia, its exotic rainforest, its diverse races, its indigenous people and their belief in ghosts, djinns and bomohs. There is a good deal of flashback to the colonial era and some mention of the legacy issues which still remain. The stories are entirely fictional and belong to the rich oral tradition of storytelling across Southeast Asia. Tall Tales of Malaysia are refreshingly different. They are gripping and a joy to read.

    "e;Tell me Tomorrow and Other Stories"e; is a book of miscellaneous tales, most of which involve a distortion of time, as well as the subject of those who experience problems interacting with others in the everyday world. Two are about ghosts; one tells of the nightmare a young woman suffers once losing her job and having recited a nursery rhyme to a child. Another relates to a middle-aged woman who only just discovers that her problems relating to others has been due to having a condition that had gone undiagnosed, while one is about an intolerant right wing political party on the verge of coming into power. Then there is the tale of the girl with cerebral palsy whose wish to become able-bodied and to live an independent life is granted - but only for a limited time, another about the re-introduction of the workhouse and household servant to a post-pandemic Britain, where unemployment is rife and benefits no longer exist, and one about the adverse effects of Covid-19.

    Stories from Irish History is a collection of 13 stories based on selected episodes in Irish history, some of which are unremembered. They are historical fiction, a popular modern genre which has great appeal for many readers. Even though the stories are partly fictional, they are based on extensive historical research. We have to go back in time in order to discover ourselves and our culture. We do not have to live in the past but neither should we deny it. Our history is all around us, in the very air we breathe, not only in our history books but in the hills and valleys, in our lore and literature, in our art and architecture, in our songs and poetry. We know that the past is never past. We need to know who we are and who we used to be. We need to know about our cultural heritage, our pre-history, our lore, our local history and the story behind placenames. Ireland is a nation of story-tellers and historical fiction keeps that tradition alive not only in Ireland but also among the Irish diaspora in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
