Atlantis, Alien Visitation & Genetic Manipulation February 18, 2008	from XKBO   Tampa
By Michael Tsarion, Researcher and Author. This is a fascinating account for the existance of Atlantis. Modern satellite scanners and oceanography have revealed what was known by the ancients. In this book the author brings in many ancient myths and folk tales, as well as modern geographical finds. There are many pages with excerpts from other writers. This is a great book for anyone interested in ancient history. You can't just read it, you have to study it.

The Sword and the Scimitar by David Bell February 14, 2008	from Missy_Ruska   Valletta
It is a story of 3 main protagonists: Nico Borg, Maria Borg & Christien deVries with a background of historical places in the Mediterranea, mainly in Malta. Circling around the romances and conflicts between these protagonists and between the Church and Islam, the author deftly manipulates the plot in a way one cannot put down the book. The main plot evolved around the Crusaders, i.e., the Hospitalers, last stronghold in Malta with its arch-nemesis Ottoman empire in the East, i.e., in Turkey

RE: The Sword and the Scimitar by David Bell February 14, 2008 from Missy_Ruska   Valletta During the last few decades of the Crusade spirit, the last bastion of the Roman Catholic empire was challenged by the Ottomans. In the tick of this intrigued, Nicolo Borg was stuck between his European decendant-Christian belief and his newly found future in the Ottomans. Barbarossa was even discussed in quite some details by the writer, since during many European-Ottoman clashes involved the Mediterranean sea battles, piratings, hijackings and kidnappings.

Russell Banks February 02, 2008	from jph2007   Vancouver
He is one of the best story tellers around. I love Canadian writers and would almost give Banks an honourary Canadianship as a nearly-as-good-as.
