Did you think the gods would leave you alone, Pacorus? Did you truly believe the Romans would forget the humiliation of Carrhae and not rest until they had won back their lost eagles?
Pacorus had believed the defeat of Crassus would signal the end of Roman interest in Parthia and for many years his kingdom knew peace and prosperity. But the vindictiveness of Queen Cleopatra of Egypt draws him and the Parthians into a new war, one in which they would be fighting for their very existence when her husband Mark Antony invades the empire at the head of over one hundred thousand men.
At first the new high king of the Parthian Empire refuses the assistance of Pacorus and his famed army, but as disaster follows disaster only Dura’s soldiers can save the empire from being swallowed whole by the Romans. An older, wiser Pacorus is forced to take the field against the might of Rome once more in a war that will be a turning point for him, the empire and his family.

“Know Yourself” addresses a matter of fundamental importance that is mostly ignored in today’s world. It’s the birth endowment that defines each of us in a special way. These are the aptitudes with which we were born. Out of the possible twenty, most people are endowed with six, of which two or three, are the strongest. This birthright lasts your whole life, never goes away.
The influence of your birthright is extraordinarily significant. It determines the directions of your best successes and enjoyment of what you do. Yet, if questioned about aptitudes, most people respond with a look of puzzlement. Yet, the knowledge of what, at your core, is operational from birth, is worth everything.
“Know Yourself” describes how birth endowment discoveries took place in the past one hundred years. Most exciting is the knowledge you will gain that will change your life. Don’t wait. Begin NOW!

Earth is dying and humanity's only hope of survival will be somewhere among the stars. Ambitious MBA graduate Reggie Lee thought defense contractor Frontierza was a perfect fit for his first job. He couldn’t have been more wrong.
Frontierza’s work on advanced hibernation technology for sleeper colony ships isn’t sexy, but what matters to Reggie is that he will have an extremely visible role leading the first team to test the technology in a month-long cryogenic sleep. The proposition is simple. Succeed and humanity has a real chance of finding a new home before Earth’s ecosystem completely collapses. Fail and … you don’t wake up. For someone who lives on the edge, the upside outweighs the risk.
But the world Reggie wakes to is nothing like he expected.
Pick up your copy of this suspenseful post-apocalyptic tale and see what lies Beneath Burning Sands.
In HOT TO TROT, the third installment of The Middle-Aged Hottie series, author Linda Cousine continues to blend rom-com and satire in her lighthearted books for women of “a certain age.” With her trademark caustic wit, Cousine takes on society’s obsession with youth, fame and fortune, while shining light on some of the harsher realities of aging.
If the shoe fits ... the bill might be more than you bargained for.
Life couldn’t be better for former supermodel, Lexi Taylor, when her brainchild, a stiletto with two heels instead of one, becomes an overnight sensation. Her relationship with sexy ex-husband, Richard, rocks along and they’re closer than ever. But Lexi might just be facing a few false starts when her father’s Alzheimer’s grows more serious and he, more often than not, thinks she’s her mother and insists on turning up the heat between them.
Adding more stress to Lexi’s complicated life, Lexi and Richard become the surrogate parents to Richard’s ex-fiancé’s little girl when she unexpectedly arrives at their doorstep. Even as Lexi struggles to balance the new challenges in her life, she just might learn that the second time around the track could be better than the first.
The Egyptian civilization began in 3150 BC with the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh. Its history is that of a series of stable kingdoms, separated by some less stable periods.
The success of the ancient Egyptian civilization came partly from its ability to adapt to the conditions of the Nile River valley for agriculture. The predictable flooding and controlled irrigation of the fertile valley produced surplus crops, which supported a more dense population, and social development and culture.
With resources to spare, the administration sponsored mineral exploitation of the valley and surrounding desert regions, the early development of an independent writing system, the organization of collective construction and agricultural projects, trade with surrounding regions, and a military intended to defeat foreign enemies and assert Egyptian dominance.
The many achievements of the ancient Egyptians include quarrying, surveying and construction that supported the building of monumental pyramids, temples, and obelisks. They also developed a system of mathematics, a practical and effective system of medicine, irrigation systems and agricultural production techniques, the first known planked boats, Egyptian faience and glass technology, new forms of literature.
Egypt’s art and architecture were widely copied, and its antiquities carried off to far corners of the world. Its monumental ruins have inspired the imaginations of travelers and writers for centuries. And it’s not over!
Awakened from his 5000 year slumber, Pharaoh Sobek II proclaims that Egypt’s future lies in its past. Restoration of historic sites up and down the Nile, including Thebes will call to people around the world to witness the renaissance.

‘Carrhae’ is the fourth instalment in the Parthian Chronicles, the adventures of King Pacorus of Dura, and follows on from ‘Parthian Vengeance’.
The great Parthian Civil War is over, leaving behind an empire exhausted by years of bloodshed. But no sooner have hostilities ended than Armenia, the client state of Rome, declares war on the empire and unleashes its army against Parthia.
Even Dura’s mighty army cannot stave off a series of defeats as the enemies of Parthia circle the empire like hungry wolves. And Pacorus knows that Marcus Licinius Crassus is also marching east to extend Rome’s rule from the Euphrates to the Indus and enslave the whole of Parthia.
The scene is set for a final showdown on the battlefield of Carrhae, a clash that will decide the destinies of two empires and two men.

#1 Amazon Best Seller Cold War History for 5 Weeks
Ground zero for a nuclear war was just over an hour northeast of Frankfurt, Germany. The small town of Fulda is nestled at the base of a natural gap in the hilly wooded terrain of West Germany and was a corridor between East and West Germany. Referred to as the Fulda Gap, this corridor was very likely the path the Warsaw forces and the Soviet Union would have taken to invade Europe.
˃˃˃ The following is a historical look at the Cold War in Germany through the careers of seventeen veterans who served there. These are their stories as they prepared to defend the Fulda Gap and ground zero”�
The brave men and women who served in West Germany were the first line of defense against the enemy horde that would come through the gap if hostilities ever began. Their mission was to hold that advancing horde for forty-eight hours until reinforcements arrived. None of them were expected to survive an invasion and they all knew it. This was what they had enlisted for, it was their job, and they did it proudly.
