Jared Diamond's Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed inspired this alternate history that takes place during the American Civil War, and tells the story of eight people who come together after the battle between the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia. Using the money they earned by tricking the U. S. Government into buying more Monitor-class ships, they attempt to escape the war and retreat to "paradise," Easter Island. However, this paradise has been transformed by the natives into a human ecological disaster and monument to pagan fertility rights and even cannibalism. Through the inventiveness and labors of the main characters, the fanatical Bird Man cult is finally banished but not before many people have died as a result.

Miriam Weinstein and James Duvalier are cops with a difference. As psychic investigators for the San Diego Police Department's Paranormal Psychology Unit, they are acutely familiar with the underworld of the occult. But nothing can prepare them for the unimaginable forces about to confront them. Satan's time is at hand, and Miriam Weinstein bears the pentangle mark of his chosen bride.
The clash of the forces of light and darkness, as foretold in the bible, is a common theme of modern contemporary fiction, but rarely has it been tackled with such style and power as in Jim Musgrave's blood-curdling novel Lucifer's Wedding. Set in the San Diego area, the story is drawn around two psychic detectives, Miriam Weinstein and James Duvalier, who are responsible for applying their skills to solving inexplicable and unsolvable murders. Both protagonists are deep and complex characters, thoughtfully crafted by Musgrave, and they are supported by an excellent cast of secondary character | |  | | Russian Wolves
This riveting story traces the creation of a serial killer and how one man's desire to get his family to America causes him to use this killer as a paid assassin for the Russian Mafia. Can CIA agent Dr. Abigail Soloman convince her country of her discovery?
Much of the story is actually rooted in fact, and this comes through in Musgrave's detached, almost journalistic style of narrative with which his fans will already be familiar. This approach proves highly effective; showing the reader a story rather than telling them. Like his previous works, Russian Wolves is not for lazy-minded reader. Musgrave encourages his readers to think about the subject matter, and his beautifully crafted storyline is developed subtly enough that you are always kept on your toes (or on the edge of your seat, depending on your reading posture). Neither does he pull hi | |  | | Sins of Darkness
America was attacked by programmed assassins. Sins of Darkness shows how programmed terrorists were being created in the United States. Long before the training camps of Osama bin Laden, there was the programming of Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, a Palestinian refugee, who was ripe for the powers of the Sins of Darkness.
In 1968, the murder of Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy by Palestinian-American Sirhan B. Sirhan shocked the world. A swift trial led to Sirhan's conviction for murder, and was hailed as a triumph for American justice. But was everything really as straightforward as it seemed? Dr. Abigail Soloman, a 55-year-old Jewish prison psychiatrist, is plunged into a murderous conspiracy when she begins to examine Sirhan and discovers to her horror that he is the victim of a brainwashing group called The Lord's Avengers. But, as she unravels the mystery surrounding Kennedy's murder, she begins to | |  | | The Digital Scribe: A Writer's Guide to Electronic Media
Teaches "nerds" how to write creatively. It also gives insights into the law and how one can properly communicate in Cyberspace.
5. Images and Metaphors: An Inner, Creative Ability That Separates Man from Beast.
The ability for the mind to capture the total picture of an experience is one that makes human beings unique in the world. However, until we were able to convert those "picture stories" into words, we were locked into our tribes' traditions, rarely ever escaping out into the broader knowledge of the universe outside our primitive lives. But the need to share our experience in pictures was great. Thus, artistic expression was born, and at last humans had the ability to communicate knowledge without ge | |  | | The President's Parasite and Other Stories
In The President's Parasite, Jim Musgrave resurrects all that has gone missing in today's literature: originality. The title story is a Kafkaesque piece from the point-of-view of an intellectual tapeworm trapped inside a moronic president, and the satirical impact is worthy of Swift. The other stories range from a widower trapped inside the Clock Tower in Baghdad that he constructed, to a baseball pitcher who becomes a living vegetable after a batted ball strikes his head. All in all, there is something for everyone in this collection of 30 eye-popping stories from a truly gifted author.
