The basic theme of this story is based upon a poem I wrote about the corruption and greed controlling Wall Street entitled We the Elite. The two main characters are the oligarchs who call themselves the Order Elite, and the anarchists who have become impoverished by the corrupt system of economics described as corporatist, crony, and predatory capitalism. The anarchists rebel against the system and are exiled from the mainstream society, building a complete police state inside a secure area separated by security walls and security forces protecting property owned and controlled by the Trilateral Corporation (Vector, Solitaire, and Gamble). The third character is the Revolutionary, which was created by a lawyer named John Alexander Hamilton. He is a descendant of the first treasury secretary, Alexander Hamilton. His primary goal is to reform the current corrupt system and restore the principles of the constitution and revive the American system of economics created by Alexander Hamilton. The Revolutionary Party is a political party aimed at reforming and restoring the rights of individuals and restoring democracy to rebuild a peaceful future for a nation besieged by the tyranny of the Order Elite.

An Island Paradise … Hidden Nazi Gold … A Deadly Battleground When Steve Carlton purchases Big Darby Island in the Exuma Cays so his daughter can build a tropical getaway, he’s faced with one disaster after another. Someone wants him to leave his own island and is willing to do whatever it takes to make him. Desperate, Carlton turns to Ryan Weller, whose growing reputation as a troubleshooter has garnered more headlines than he’d like. He agrees to exorcise the “ghosts” that haunt Big Darby, but when the former EOD tech arrives, the only person he finds is Carlton’s daughter Diane, a woman hellbent on restoring a neglected house and to starting a new life. She’s not about to be scared off or persuaded to leave, even if it’s for her own good. The “ghosts” have their own plans—a methodical search for Nazi gold secreted out of Berlin during the closing days of World War II. To find it, they’ll let nothing—or no one—stand in their way. Forced into hunting for the gold, Ryan finds himself trapped between a relentless adversary intent on installing a Fourth Reich and the desire to save a woman he is desperately trying to distance himself from. But in order to save both their lives, he must first play the deadliest game.

From Newbery Honor-winning, New York Times bestselling author Adam Gidwitz Cover may vary Did you know that Cinderella’s stepsisters got their eyes pecked out by birds? Really. And that Rumpelstiltskin ripped himself in half? And that in “The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage,” a mouse, a bird, and a sausage all talk to each other? (Okay, I guess that one’s not that grim.) Those are the real fairy tales. But they have nothing on the fairy tales in this book. For more twisted tales look for A Tale Dark and Grimm and In a Glass Grimmly. * “Underneath the gore, the wit, and the trips to Hell and back, this book makes it clearer than ever that Gidwitz truly cares about the kids he writes for.” —Publishers Weekly starred review “Entertaining story-mongering, with traditional and original tropes artfully intertwined.”—Kirkus Reviews “As innovative as they are traditional, the stories maintain clear connections with traditional Grimm tales while creatively connecting to the narrative, and all the while keeping the proceedings undeniably grisly and lurid. . . .Readers will rejoice.”—School Library Journal

Experience where it all began for Gabriel Redfeather and his quest to save the world from demons in Dark Beginnings! The Dark Storm Gabriel is a New York City college kid who loves to bury his nose in books, looking up stories of long-dead cultures, lost languages, and forgotten legends. He never imagined one of those legends would come looking for him—until a tough-talking girl named De Mona Sanchez thrusts an ancient weapon into his hands...and recruits Gabriel in a dark epic war he was born to fight. Banished centuries ago by warrior knights, a demonic army is storming through a dimensional rift into our world. Stalkers are prowling the streets. Corpses are rising up to fight. And Gabriel—a descendant of one of the original warriors—has no choice but to drop his textbooks and start kicking demon butt alongside his new friend De Mona...who has a few secrets of her own. If Gabriel fails, humanity loses. If war is hell, this is hell on earth... The Demon Hunt Soul-sucking demons. Half-human killers. Doomsday prophesies. No, this isn't a late-night movie on cable TV. This is Gabriel's life—or least, what's left of it—ever since he discovered his true destiny as a warrior knight in the battle against darkness. Once an ordinary college kid studying lost legends in books, Gabriel now finds himself face to face with actual demons. As a warrior, he has no choice but to fight them. And if he screws it up, the world is toast... A dimensional rift has opened between worlds. Which means more demons—and more death—than you could shake a proverbial stick at. Luckily, Gabriel has just the stick for the job, an ancient trident that gives him awesome demon-bashing powers. To watch his back he has the butt kicking half Demon De Mona and several unlikely heroes who he's picked up along the way. To make matters more complicated two of Gabriel's college buddies wind up dead and he finds that the demons aren't the only ones who want a piece of his hide. The cops want him too—for murder...
