Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad… Humans and mers have reinstated an alliance long abandoned, and the sea demons no longer threaten the Bahamas. The underwater civilizations are at peace for the first time in millennia. Then a devastating plague returns to devastate the submerged cities, turning mers into insane, ravening beasts. A plague that invariably ends in death. Legend says a cure lies hidden somewhere in a secret cave, and newlyweds David and Faryn set off with their friends to find it. Only then is the true source of the disease revealed—an evil being as old as time whose hatred of the mers will only be satisfied when their entire civilization has been destroyed.

Since its release in 2006, 'Finding the Lost Battalion' by Robert J. Laplander has become the benchmark work against which all things Lost Battalion related have been measured. Now, in this updated 3rd edition released to coincide with the centennial of America's entry into WW1, Mr. Laplander again takes us to the Charlevaux Ravine to delve deeper into the story than ever before! Meticulously chronicling what would become arguably the most famous event of America's part in the war, we find the truths behind the legend. Spanning twenty years of research and hundreds of sources (most never before seen), the reader is led through the Argonne Forest during September and October, 1918 virtually hour by hour. The result is the single most factual accounting of the Lost Battalion story and their leader, Charles W. Whittlesey, to date. Told in an entertaining, fast moving style, the book has become a favorite the world over! With new Forward by Major-General William Terpeluk, US Army (Ret).

Beyond the Legend is the authorised biography of William (Bill) Speakman,who was awarded one of only four Victoria Crosses for action in the Korean War. It covers his sometimes controversial life, from his childhood in Altrincham, Cheshire, to his later life in South Africa – about which little has been known previously. Authors Derek Hunt and John Mulholland also explore the myth of the 'beer bottle VC' (in which Speakman was said to have fended off the Chinese Communist Army by throwing empty beer bottles at them after they ran out of grenades), bringing to light what really happened on United Hill in November 1951. Speakman held the attacking Chinese army at bay for over four hours and led a final charge that allowed his company to withdraw from the hill. After Korea, he saw active service in Malaya, Borneo and Aden before retiring from the army, with the rank of sergeant, in 1968. Bill Speakman is one of only two surviving VC holders of the British Army and a true British hero.

The kind reception of Mr. Skinner's first volume has encouraged him to go beyond the territory of the United States for material for a fresh collection ; and this material he now embodies in a small-sized but rather closely printed book of " Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders". About two-thirds of the collection are drawn from Canada, and the remainder from Mexico. There is much curious and suggestive matter in the volume, and it should not be neglected by students of folk-lore. From the contents: Canada Explorers And Aborigines Myths Of Creation, Heaven, And Hell Glooskap At Menagwes The Dogs Of Clote Scaurp The Missions A Few Monsters Some Names Troubles On The St. Lawrence American Elephants Hidden Gold How One Bear Lost His Life The Isle Of Demons The Figure In Smoky Hut The Shadow Of Holland Cove The Friar Of Campobello Two Melicite Victories The Flame Sloop Of Caraquette The Acadians And Evangeline The Tolling Off Gaspe The Ride To Death The General With An Ear The Defence Of St. John Brother And Sister In Battle The Golden Dog The Grave In The Cellar The Mountain And The See The Sin Of Father St. Bernard Larouche Had His Wish The Heart Of Frontenac The Devil Dance On Orleans The Defiance At Elora The Miracles Of Sainte Anne Tadousac Bell At Midnight The Bell Of Caughnawaga The Massacre At Bic The Doom Of Mamelons The Revenge Of Hudson Kenen's Sacrifice The Calling Of Zoe De Mersac The Headless Deserters The Devil's Head Father Jacques's Vengeance The Bonnechere Affair He Went Back For His Gun Kwasind, The Strong The Curse Of Success The Death Of Wahwun The Devil's Half-Acre Medicine Hat Ghost Woman At The Blood Camp The Blackfoot Eden The Wicked Wife Fourth Of July At Yale Death Of The Great Beaver Why The Mountains Were Made The Place Of Dead Men How The Indians Became Red The Pool Of Destruction Yehl, The Light-Maker The Shelter Of Edgecumbe How Selfishness Was Punished The Ghost Of Sitka Castle A Fatal Rivalry Bad Boys Of Na-As River The Baffled Ice God Mexico White Visitors Before Columbus The White God Spiritual Guidance Eagle, Snake, And Cactus Told In Yucatan Our Lady Of Guadalupe Our Lady Of The Remedies Some Other Miracles The Picture And The Storm The Mischievous Cocktail The Councillors Of Lagos The Humpback Of Colima Why Cholula Pyramid Was Built The Ark On Colhuacan ... and many more ...
