The fiction thriller and suspense novel takes from recent history about a fanatical religious rebel group, called the Lords Resistance Army (LRA), fighting against the Ugandan Government with a reputation of using abducted children as highly effective but brutal army. The novel challenges how the Developed Western world would treat their children if they were caught up in a war in a foreign country where the child was forced to take up arms to fight to survive in what they, in the West, may then for political reasons rationalise as a «just battle for the child's own life». So, you have two teenagers (one who is Australian) from two very different cultures each going through their own vastly different personal struggles who meet in wonderful circumstances and become bonded in friendship and childhood experiences. However, an unexpected attack by the LRA now forces each child to respondent based on their upbringing and surfacing of the very essence of their humanity emerges; but what if they were forced to take sides that were unexpected. what would be the outcomes and how would their parents and governments respond? A gripping finale to a very divergent beginning, full of suspense, and unpredictable directions.

Thad Hamilton was a man whose life was on a treadmill, though he would not accept that he too was one of those mumbodies playing out an existence, leading a life of quiet desperation. Then, it changed, he had an auto accident and crossed over to the other side. Oh, sure… he too had always scorned «the light in the tunnel» as a bunch of bull-shit but there he was on some platform as if waiting for a train. Then a garishly dressed little woman with a monkey on her back and a sign with the name «Hamilton» haunted him, taunted him before reminding him there was no train for those without deeds.

Some people kill you with a joke, the colonel would just kill you. He was born in a canebreak by an old mama lion who abandoned him before he was weaned. He became a thing of nature and being a warrior was natural, so he found brutality in WWI and as a soldier-of-fortune, he was shot five times, died and during which time he had an aberration in which he was rebuked as having died. He was informed by a small garish woman with a monkey on her shoulder that he wasn't dead…just gone! He swore to do better, to become a good person and he chose to recuperate in British Columbia where he could hunt and fish, drink Scotch Whiskey and play poker. But death followed the colonel, his guide died in the icy waters and the colonel was arrested for murder. But there was salvation in a romance with a quirky female who only ate on the floor and slept there as well. She also insisted upon licking him! Follow the colonel as he fights the system and discovers a son he never knew.

Every now and then a little miracle is in order. Some see them, some feel them, some pray for them in every corner of the world, Aldo Selleri prayed for his identity. The Miracle of the Images is about one man, called upon by an Angel of God to paint a miracle to be contained in a portrait of the Holy Family. The portrait has never been seen by the faithful, by order of the Holy See. The painting, completed by the hand of the Blessed Virgin, contains divine images, the first to be revealed in fifty years, and the second, the image of the Christ in 2055 in fulfillment of the old and new testaments prophecies in Revelations and the end of time.
Аннотация
Нужен ли ты кому-то? Ты сам. Такой как есть. Хочешь ли ты получить ответ на вопрос "зачем"? Не устанут сердца искать того, кто одним словом ответит на все вопросы. Зачеркнет и выбросит, как ненужный хлам, все прошлые убеждения. Или устанут и бросят. Забудутся болотным сном. Чтобы не видеть переплетений. Не слышать вопросов и не искать ответов. Так надежней. Какой выбор будет сделан? Куда приведет решение?

Шел 1854 год. Между Российской империей с одной стороны и коалицией в составе Английской, Французской и Османской империй второй год продолжалась война. И основные боевые действия происходили на юге России в Крыму. Но отдельные эпизоды произошли и в акватории Белого и Баренцева морей. Об этом и пойдет речь в повествовании "Тишина Святого озера".
