We have witnessed a beginning, the birth of a new age of revolt and upheaval. In North Africa and the Middle East it took the people a matter of days to topple what were supposedly entrenched regimes. Now, to the west, multiple crises are etching away at a 'democratic consensus' that has, since the 1970s, plagued and suppressed any sparks of revolutionary potential. It is time to prepare for the coming insurrection. In this bold and beautifully written book, Eric Hazan and Kamo provide a short account of what is to be done in the aftermath of a regime's demise: how to prevent any power from restoring itself and how to reorganize society without a central authority and according to the people's needs. They argue that neither a leadership reshuffle, in the guise of constitutional progress, nor a transition period between a capitalist social order and a communist horizon will do. First Measures of the Coming Insurrection is more than the voice of a new generation of revolutionaries; it is the manual for the coming global revolution.

Nearly a year has passed since Steve and Sarah Miller discovered Lentari through a magical portal in their own home in Idaho. Mikal, the young Lentarian crown prince, is happy, healthy, and adapting well to living in modern America with his bodyguards. However, their peace is soon shattered when Steve gets a frightening message—the queen has been kidnapped and their help is needed! They leave Prince Mikal safe and secure in Coeur d’Alene with Annie, Sarah’s sister, and Tristan, his tutor. But, as kids will do, Mikal sneaks through the portal to try to help, and his presence in Lentari becomes known. And it’s the crown prince who is the real target of the Lentarian king’s enemies. Rescuing the queen, battling thieving invaders, outsmarting repulsive trolls, and trying to stay one step ahead of someone who is bent on acquiring Mikal at all costs, Steve and Sarah must use all the powers at their disposal to keep their young charge safe. Teaming up with Rhenyon, the captain of the king’s guards, they set out, little knowing they will encounter trolls, griffins, and an evil wizard who is intent on stealing their special powers. Infiltrating the wizard’s lair is not for the faint of heart, and the couple find themselves in the midst of more action than they bargained for in the magical kingdom of Lentari. Praise for The Prophecy and the Bakkian Chronicles trilogy: “… plenty of action, adventure, and romance, but is harmless enough for pre-teens to read; it is a well-told tale.” – 5 stars on Amazon “If you love wizards, dragons, griffins & such, you have got to read the Bakkian Chronicles!” 5 stars online review “I loved this book. It had so much imagination to it. Great for young and old.” - D. Estrada “There's adventure & a little humor and all the characters are just right. “ - Happy2Day “I especially liked that this story revolved around a husband and wife team, rather than being the typical “hero's journey” of an adolescent boy.” - M.L.
