In the second novel featuring the implacable detective Ki Dicer and her misfit team, execution-style murders sends the detective to the historically black college JAMU, home of the Zebras and her mother's alma mater. The boldness of the murders is the straw that threatens to break the Zebra's back as Dicer must bring in a forensic accounting team to untangle JAMU's fiscal debacle. When the students stage a protest and the president disappears, the governing board accepts an unprecedented corporate proposal to run the troubled school. Once again Ki Dicer encounters the incomparable Rita "Rex" Xorron who spearheads the JAMU takeover. The appointment of Xorron's significant other as JAMU president and the subsequent shakeup of administrative personnel set the stage for internal and external pressures at the small school. Dicer is teamed with a detective whose obsession with the Russian mafia leads them down a blind alley. Then a tip sends Dicer back to JAMU where the new president demonstrates she has the mettle to handle the campus' problem, by force if necessary. As Ki wrestles with the twists and turns of the convoluted case, she must deal with her growing attraction to a young, volleyball playing priestess. Sorting fact from myth, Dicer remains a step behind the mastermind and the women pursuing him as she battle her own incredulity and the police department's indifference.

More than formal histories, fables and folklore carry national traditions through centuries and over miles. In every country, in every culture, they tell the stories of everyday people and rulers -- of farmers and merchants and of emperors and their servants. They distill national, tribal, and ethnic differences while just as clearly showing their similarities as they're told around the world. China is now a daily presence in global politics and commerce, yet still something of a contradiction to Western nations who see it both as a magic place and a powerful competitor. Chi Him Chiu's translations in A Treasure House of Chinese Fables, presented here in a second and somewhat shorter edition, navigate and explain Chinese history, dynasties, and geography with tales that range from wonder and joy to the details of military strategy. You'll read here, with a twinge of the familiar, of the tiger that paid a debt of gratitude to an old woman for removing a thorn from its paw. You'll also read about King Hui of Qin and how he took over two other states by heeding the advice contained in an old tale of two tigers. You'll read about much more. And you'll enter another world and learn its wisdom and gain its joys. Translator.

The book contains one thousand and eighteen fables, selected from one hundred ninety-nine books, and arranged in chronological order. They are representative of works of similar nature created in different dynasties from ancient times up to the end of the Qing Dynasty.In its initial stage, fable was largely an appendage, an instrument of political and philosophical views, and not an independent form of literature. It was not until the Eastern Han and the Tang Dynasties that it finally came of age and declared itself independent and separate from the other forms of literature. In the book section, a few introductory remarks have been provided for each book and its author. Taken as a whole, they give a peephole view of the history of Chinese literature, and the country’s political and social conditions at each corresponding period. The readers will also get a glimpse of the contending hundred schools of thought, and some knowledge of the traditions and customs of the Chinese people, in addition to the moral lesson and truth each fable provides.

Here before you is the life, the love and the great adventure of Taris, Lord of the Britains. Before King Arthur, Lancelot and Gueniver were archived to the pages of legend, a great King and his legendary companions set fire to the world. A wonderful story of a great people carving a nation that changed the face of history and civilization forever. In this tale, I hope to bring alive the life and great deeds of King Taris. Step back in time and relive the life of this great King. Travel with him as he struggles with faith, love and courage. Share in the battles as tries to hold a fragile Roman Britain and it’s peoples together. Relive a time when King wanted to be nothing more than a man and a God that wanted him to be a King.A good wholesome story, eligible for any age to read and enjoy. Characters in the book are taken from real history and legend, brought together in their original character. Taris is the love of land, family and the struggle with war and conflicting peoples. Much has been written about the time of King Arthur, with much of it overdone. My work hints on the time before King Arthur in the beginnings of western culture and the foundations of today in these lands. You could say, the Grandfather of King Arthur. You will find the characters of Padraig (St. Patrick), Taris Ambrossius, Ambrossius Aureilias, Gaius Uther Pendragon, Vortigern, Vitalinus and even Merlyn as a young man. Circa 400AD, The Roman legions have left Britain with Constantine at their lead. Left behind, an undefended people; a mix of Celts, Scots, Saxon and Romans. In the vacuum of Britain left by Rome´s withdrawal, these great people strive to build a common culture, in the midst of hate and religious zeal. Interior legends reach back to the beginning of memory, bring forth myth and magic. In all, it´s a struggle not uncommon today. The love of family, the bonds of men and women, the search for courage, love and faith. They struggle with as their new world clashes with the old. The main character influenced by his conscious, ignites a fire of civilization that ushers in the world as we know it today.Much of this research is 20 years in the search. Characters long lost to common written history come forth and answer; who and what we are as a people today. In all, the common decency of us all.
