Ideas/Theory, Finance
Convergence of Catastrophes
“The thesis of this book is a terrifying one: our present global civilisation will collapse within twenty years, and it is too late to stop it. We shall regress to a 'New Middle Ages' akin to the fall of the Roman Empire, only much more destructive. For the first time in the whole of human history, certain 'dramatic lines', giant crises and catastrophes of immense proportions - already tangible - have emerged. They are converging and will most likely reach their zenith by 2020. Up to that time, as we have already been witnessing, their effects will continue to get worse, until a breaking point is reached. Guillaume Faye rigorously examines these escalating crises one by one: environmental damage and climate change; the breakdown of a speculative and debt-ridden globalist economy; the return of global epidemics; the depletion of fossil fuels and of agricultural and fishing resources; the rise of mass immigration, terrorism and nuclear proliferation; the worsening of the rupture between Islam and the West; and the dramatic explosion of a population of the elderly in the wealthy countries - all of it leading to an unprecedented worldwide economic recession, an increase in localised and possibly large-scale armed conflicts...and perhaps worse. “

Tschinque
“historical fiction based on fact about the Karshner families migration in 1733 to colonial Pennsylvania from Langenselbold, Germany. How they and many other early immigrants through diligence and hard work helped form the United States Of America. The grandchildren of these immigrants were the early pioneers who came to Chillicothe, on the Scioto River when Ohio was still part of the Northwest Territory. Its characters are first generation Americans, children of patriots of the Revolutionary War. They experienced a sense of adventure traveling west over the Allegheny Mountains to homestead a wilderness… “
Colorado's Cherokee Trail
“Colorado’s Cherokee Trail was never primarily an emigrant route like the Oregon Trail, nor primarily a route of commerce like the Santa Fe Trail. Instead it always remained essentially the trail of adventurers: of the nomadic Indian, the Spanish soldier, the Rocky Mountain fur trapper, the Indian trader, the explorer, the dragoon from Fort Leavenworth, and the gold seeker lured west during the great Pike’s Peak Gold Rush. It is the story of these adventurers that needs to be told, using their own words to best describe their experiences as they followed this old trail along the Front Range of the Rockies.”

Bear Park (Terror / Mayhem)
“A surprise thunder and lightning storm knocks out the power on what had been an idyllic day at a Montana bear preserve, trapping the Camber Family in Bear Park. Suddenly, what was never supposed to happen, happens and the family of four find themselves fighting for their very lives against the jaws and slashing claws of a renegade grizzly behemoths. “
The Death of Berlin 1944 - A Story of Holocaust, Survival & Revenge
“My story is a story of survival, revenge, and above all luck. Both survival and revenge required cunning, risk, quick decisiveness, stealing, lying, cold heartedness, and uncounted despicable acts, but in the end it was pure luck that determined if you lived or died. My story is not one I'm proud of, but shame is also not a part of all that I did. Guilt is perhaps the only feeling I have as a result of those times, but not guilt over what I had to do to survive and extract revenge ... if anything it is survivor's guilt that I sometimes encounter. I often wonder, ask, why did I survive when so many others, good people, women, children, innocent, decent people died. Survivor's guilt is my guilt. My story begins in 1939 in an area outside Berlin, in a small village that we here would consider a suburb of Berlin, but separated by a few old farms and a small river. And though Hitler had already taken power and invaded and annexed other countries, we in our unimportant township had seen little of German soldiers, the army, or the Nazis. In 1939 that all changed. But let me go back a few generations, because that is where my good luck really began.”

The Anaconda Complex
In the U.S., the senator of Texas “is kidnapped on the doorstep of his house …. That's just the beginning of a conspiracy hatched to shake America to its very foundations. The trail of the kidnapers leads Nick McQueen, who is a CIA hit man and a fugitive from the authorities, to a brutal murder on the casino-lined, neon playgrounds of Las Vegas. The al-Qaeda kidnapers plan to broadcast live on national TV a show stage-managed to humiliate and terrorize the American public. Publicized on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media on the Internet, the kidnapers' final horrific act performed for their "Theater of Terrorism" aims to wreak havoc, kill thousands of Americans, and precipitate economic collapse in the United States.”
