Gabriel (The Infected)

Gabriel (The Infected) Review



This is book two of the Infected series. Book one is available now.


Deep underground, in a secret government prison, Denis Tompkins is being held for attempted murder, in a ten by ten, all steel cell, watched twenty-four hours a day. Stripped of hope, peace and dignity.

Because he's dangerous.

An Infected monster filled with a hideous greed and the ability to make anyone he sees feel anything.

At least the guards think he's a monster. Really, it was more like a series of mistakes, compounded by the fact that he's not really a people person. It could happen to anyone, right?

So when he's given a chance at a real life again, by the man he tried to kill, he jumps at it.

The rules are simple.

Either he changes and becomes a better man, or he dies.

Make it or not, it's more of a chance than he started life with.

Now he just has to help prevent riots all over the country, learn to be more pleasant, and take down the biggest monster he's ever met.

The man who turned him into what he is.






Thanks for reading.

P.S. Power


*Book one is titled "The Infected: Proxy"

Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant

Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant Review



Osama bin Laden got credit for the terrorist outrage of September 11, 2001, but as author and journalist Humberto Fontova reveals in his landmark new book Fidel, Fidel Castro - Hollywood's favorite tyrant - had planned a similar terrorist attack forty years earlier, with a plot to explode 500 kilos of TNT at Grand Central Station, the Statue of Liberty, and four Manhattan subway stations. Fidel gives a litany of such shocking facts about Fidel Castro - the facts you won't hear from the fawning liberal media that covers up for Castro and that praises Castro's Cuba for its fine cigars, beautiful beaches, and free health care, while overlooking its tyranny, support for terrorism, and impoverishment of its people.

Viewing African Cinema in the Twenty-First Century: Art Films and the Nollywood Video Revolution

Viewing African Cinema in the Twenty-First Century: Art Films and the Nollywood Video Revolution Review



African cinema in the 1960s originated mainly from Francophone countries. It resembled the art cinema of contemporary Europe and relied on support from the French film industry and the French state. Beginning in1969 the biennial Festival panafricain du cinéma et de la télévision de Ouagadougou (FESPACO), held in Burkina Faso, became the major showcase for these films. But since the early 1990s, a new phenomenon has come to dominate the African cinema world: mass-marketed films shot on less expensive video cameras. These “Nollywood” films, so named because many originate in southern Nigeria, are a thriving industry dominating the world of African cinema.

Viewing African Cinema in the Twenty-first Century is the first book to bring together a set of essays offering a unique comparison of these two main African cinema modes.
