Setting out undercover into the African desert, he's about to close in when U.S. aircraft and armored vehicles--operated by men in American uniform--annihilate the crowd.

Has religion been a masterful deception from the beginning? Do we, as humans, actually own anything, including our souls? Is life after death just an empty promise used to make slaves of us all? If asked, would you accept, then, forever conceal and protect from all intruders, the very thing that will destroy the world if you decline? Would you if you knew other aggressive world powers want it and will stop at nothing to get it? The Arsenal—Slaves Among us is a captivating story beginning when ten year old Sheree Anderson is torn from her mother’s arms, by her husband, and given to the Company to settle an old debt. Murder, sex, passion, and deception abound just before the Civil War, when three farm families work to get her back, at the same time dealing with their own dark secrets, political ambitions, raiders, and the underground-railroad. Sheree has inherent gifts that the Company plans to use to lure all earthly souls, to attain world dominance. Her father is covertly recruited by the federal government to track down those threatening our United States of America. But who, or what, is our enemy? Can walls have eyes and ears?

A history of the Gunners told through in-depth biographies of the team’s key players on and off the pitch, from its late 19th century beginnings to today. Arsenal: The Story of a Football Club in 101 Lives tells the history of the team through the biographies of key individuals associated with the club from its formation in the gas-lit days of Victorian Britain through to the present day. From David Danskin, the Scottish mechanical engineer and footballer who was the driving force behind the team raised at Dial Square, a workshop at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, to Arsene Wenger, the longest-serving and most successful manager in Arsenal’s history. The in-depth stories of the characters—players, managers, chairmen—here paint a fascinating picture of how the club—indeed, the game of football itself—has developed from workers playing for fun to today’s multi-million-pound business.
