The past was anything but quiet as his life was intertwined with Katherine, an apothecary from Montpellier on the southern French coast. This letter from the Abbess brings an earnestness that Hercule cannot ignore. His beloved Katherine is dying and she has a secret to tell him. Will she be able to handle the ramifications if he does not find out her secret? Is the past coming to haunt him? His memories return to inflict torment on him. A time of long ago. A time of dreams and adventure. A time of love, war, blood, and death. A wagon of gold. Janissaries on a mission to apprehend that gold-even if they have to kill to get it. And they have, for the sultan. The Ottoman Empire is awaiting its tribute from the West. The question is, who will get to the gold first? It is a race against time as Hercule, his friend and confidant Hasan, and Katherine must reach for the safety within the fortress walls of Ragusa before the Turks can steal the gold. Can Hercule amend for his past transgressions? In his debut novel, John Peric brings to life a story of unsuspecting lives and forbidden love that have been brought together by the powers that be in the mountains and valleys of Bosnia-Herzegovina, which lay between the two major empires of Europe and the Ottomans. Will Hercule and Katherine be able to survive the certain death waiting for them? Even worse, if they escape, will they survive the memories and the love they cannot forget?

On a world where trees are hundreds of feet tall with leaves more than a dozen feet wide, the inhabitants are dwarfed by the underlying vegetation of the immense forest floor. The forces of good and evil pair off in small-scale battles to determine the destiny of a colony, whether they live free of tyranny or succumb to the will of a brutal oppressive regime. The difficult terrain made wheeled vehicles impractical and limited designs of military craft to those that closely resemble the only creatures capable of efficiently traversing the terrain--insects. All flying craft received the default name of sects and often incorporated design features too complex for most pilots to master. The first conflict using fragile unreliable sect craft ended in a bitter stalemate. It was more a pause in the fighting while both sides labored to reconstitute. Much has changed since then with technological advancements in flying craft design and complexity. The Feroci are in the preparatory stage of carrying out the final offensive to annihilate the last remaining colony of the descendants that left the Grand Hive generations ago to seek prosperity. The Feroci have developed secret advanced crafts and a cunning strategy. Weary of war, the last colony has become complacent in limiting engagements to small scrimmages and mostly defensive operations. The colony leadership suspects the Feroci are planning a major offensive but have no idea where or when. They began dispatching scouts to find clues, but colony pilots hesitate to fly close to the Feroci homeland for fear of encountering the enemy's leading ace in a craft called the Sect Slayer. A new sect crew chief encounters the enemy ace on his first combat mission and manages to survive after the pilot is incapacitated. In the process, he discovers love, a jealous new foe that wants to ruin his career, new allies, an old friend that wants to even the odds, and a determined enemy ace that wants to exact revenge against him and lead the Feroci forces to assured victory. So begins the Sect War.

Su Boom Boom Su Boom KaWhen I was an elementary school teacher in the Ivory Coast, I set aside some special time. I called that special time "e;Stories Time."e; I first initiate some tales and then end up with some discussions to see whether my young students can grasp the meaning of my tale. On many occasions, I invite them to tell to the class their Hamlet's story to enrich the class with the wisdom of each individual legend or stories. Our stories personify daily people in their actions. In the Hare's accounts, this is a cunning creature with fertile imagination and is capable of getting around the most difficult situation. On the other hand of the spectrum, we have Hyena, a gluttonous and too stupid, imbecile, arrogant, and pretentious animal who misapplies the teachings of Hare, resulting to him being punished. The discovery of things in Mother Nature is illustrated by the story of Nekpo and Vili. After serious blowbacks by Vili the porcupine, the hunter came about the ideas of using the porcupine's deadly spines to conceive an arrow.A mother whose son had not grasped the meaning of the logic yet, and therefore not being able to measure the consequences of his own actions, was left to manage his mother's food preparation while out in the field. In complicity with his baby brother, Saki ate all the meat and leaves a few. As a result, when mother came back, she severely punished them. It is not because that somebody is physically impaired that she must be mocked. That debilitated person can save lives. Akissi, who initially is uninvited to join the group of young women of her age, saves lives of her sisters from a powerful witchcraft. Human beings seldom recognize the goodness of hearts of those who get them out of dire situations. Or what goes around must come down and what goes up obviously comes down. One can't spit in air and not expect to receive some droplets of saliva in one's face. That is exactly what happened in the story of Tiger that dug a pit and threw himself in. Monkey, heartbroken because of his distress, came to his rescue and then Tiger wants to make him prey. Then, an arbitrary came and saw his tricks and set Monkey free.

Una madrugada de enero de 1968, un bus del Ejército nacional partía repleto de jóvenes hijos del Caribe colombiano, samarios, barranquilleros, cartageneros, sesenta y dos en total, naturalmente alegres, que anhelaban convertirse, muy pronto, en suboficiales del Ejército nacional de Colombia. Bajo la supervisión de un sargento y un cabo, dos choferes se turnarían el comando de aquel bullicioso vehículo que, lleno de ilusiones y sueños, se dirigiría a la ciudad de Popayán, al sur de la república. La travesía del país, que duró varios días, fue inmensamente alegre al compás de canciones y relatos de aventuras. Parando en los batallones que se encontraban en el camino, Medellín, Cali, para alimentarse y asearse, no se imaginaban aquellos muchachos la amarga realidad que les esperaba. Ser soldado en aquel país podía convertirse en la peor desgracia.En efecto, con los días, todo cambió para uno de ellos, quien reconstruye el itinerario de una historia de la vida real, la desilusión y el desencanto se apoderaron de muchos como él, que nunca imaginaron la crueldad sin límite y la humillación que rigen el adiestramiento. Cada día una nueva afrenta. Ante la opción de humillarse y permitir la vejación permanente, nuestro joven soldado optó por la dignidad, sin medir las consecuencias; era una batalla sin esperanzas. De hecho, terminó metido en una bóveda, estrecha como una tumba, llena de chinches, piojos y cucarachas en pleno cuartel, de la que no saldría con vida, a menos que ocurriera un milagro.
