by John Cullen

 What really happened during that early twilight zone of human existence after the last Ice Age? We live in the period called the Holocene, which began 11,000 years ago, and of which we know relatively little except for the past 5,000 years since writing was invented. But there are mysterious megaliths around the world, and other evidence that all is not what we may think. Will we ever find out the whole story? (Published: 2003)

The Hellfire Club [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/Palm Reader/Adobe Reader 7]
by
Daniel Mannix
|
|
The rise and fall of a shocking secret society! In the ruined abbeys and elaborately decorated caves of England, the notorious Hellfire Club held meetings that shocked and terrified the countryside. London madams scoured the city for young girls to supply the club. Rakes flocked to its meetings. Yet it was typical of the late eighteenth century that the club's members included famous men of the arts, politicians, even the then-Prime Minister; that a list of members reads like an "honors list" of...

by
William Norris

On January 30, 1974, the pilot of a Pan American World Airlines Boeing 707 jet carrying 101 passengers and crew flew his plane into the jungle instead of the airport at Pago Pago, Samoa. Although everyone on board survived the impact, 97 people perished in the ensuing fire. Four survived to tell of it. What caused the crash?

Soldiers and Slaves [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/Palm Reader]
by
Roger Cohen
|
|
In February 1945, 350 American POWs captured earlier at the Battle of the Bulge or elsewhere in Europe were singled out by the Nazis because they were Jews or were thought to resemble Jews. They were transported in cattle cars to Berga, a concentration camp in eastern Germany, and put to work as slave laborers, mining tunnels for a planned underground synthetic-fuel factory. This was the only incident of its kind during World War II. Starved and brutalized, the GIs were denied their rights as pr...

The Religion of The Ancient Celts [Secure Mobipocket]
by
J. A. Macculloch
|
|
The Celtic religion was by no means a simple affair, and cannot be summed up as what we call "Druidism." Beside the official religion there was a body of popular superstitions and observances which came from a deeper and older source than Druidism, and was destined long to outlive it-indeed, it is far from dead even yet.

Who Stole Hitler's A-Bombs? [MultiFormat]
by John Cullen

On April 15, 1945--two weeks before Hitler's suicide in Berlin--the dying Nazi spider was still spinning webs and sending out poisonous stings against its enemies. Though amputated of most of its tentacles, Hitler's empire lay narcotized amid its dreams of phantom armies and Wagnerian hordes. Not all of its weapons were phantoms, however. Many of the Wunderwaffen (wonder weapons) of those final days anticipated the fantastic gadgetry of the Cold War to come. Among the Nazi empire's deadly stinge...
