1991: Drei Jahre, nachdem ein unbekanntes Flugobjekt mit 300.000 versklavten Außerirdischen in der Mojave-Wüste gelandet ist, leben diese sogenannten Newcomer in Los Angeles. Matthew Sykes, ein Police-Officer, verliert seinen Partner Bill Tuggle während einer Schießerei: Die Detectives hatten versucht, zwei Newcomer-Kriminelle davon abzuhalten, einen anderen Newcomer namens Porter in dessen Lebensmittelgeschäft zu ermorden. Am nächsten Tag informiert Sykes' Vorgesetzter seine Einheit, dass sie mit dem neu beförderten Newcomer-Detective Sam Francisco zusammenarbeiten müssen. Obwohl er voreingenommen ist, akzeptiert Sykes Francisco als Partner, um einen Mord an einem Newcomer namens Warren Hubley zu untersuchen. Sykes vermutet, dass er, wenn er dieses Verbrechen aufklärt, auch die Möglichkeit haben wird, die Ermordung seines Partners zu untersuchen - was ihm offiziell verboten ist...

A new nation has appeared within the United States since the Civil War, but it has been only accidentally connected with that catastrophe. The Constitution emerged from the confusion of strife and reconstruction substantially unchanged, but the economic development of the United States in the sixties and seventies gave birth to a society that was, by 1885, already national in its activities and necessities. In many ways the history of the United States since the Civil War has to do with the struggle between this national fact and the old legal system that was based upon state autonomy and federalism; and the future depends upon the discovery of a means to readjust the mechanics of government, as well as its content, to the needs of life. This book attempts to narrate the facts of the last half-century and to show them in their relations to the larger truths of national development. [mehr]

This book is an illustrated version of the original The Birth of the Nation by Mrs. Roger A. Pryor. “The story of a world emerging from the darkness in which it had been hidden for countless ages will always thrill the imagination. Phantom ships loom dimly out of the mists of a far-off time. Strange names are whispered in vague traditions, which are found in no written record—names of mighty mariners, who were blown by tempests upon a strange coast,—Arthur; Malgro; Brandon; a "Fryer of Lynn," who by reason of his "black art" reached the North Pole in 1360; Madock, "sonne of Quinneth, Prince of Wales," a man of peace, who sought refuge in a wilderness because of strife among his brethren; Leif, the Norwegian; Nicolo Zeno, the Venetian; Hanno, the Carthaginian! Colossal figures tremble for a moment on the horizon, and are lost in fog and doubt.” [mehr]

This book is made up of a series of articles originally published in the Freeman. It was compiled to establish one point and only one, namely: that the German Government was not solely guilty of bringing on the war. I have not been at all concerned with measuring the German Government's share of guilt, with trying to show that it was either great or small, or that it was either less or more than that of any other Government or association of Governments. All this is beside the point. I do not by any means wish to escape the responsibility of saying that I think the German Government's share of guilt in the matter is extremely small; so small by comparison with that of the major Powers allied against Germany, as to be inconsiderable. That is my belief, demonstrable as I think by such evidence as has now become available to any candid person. But this has nothing whatever to do with the subject-matter of this volume. If the guilt of the German Government could be proved to be ten times greater than it was represented to be by the publicity-bureaux of the Allied Powers, the conclusion established in the following chapters would still remain. Guilty as the German Government may have been; multiply by ten any estimate that any person, interested or disinterested, informed or uninformed, may put upon its guilt; the fact remains that it was far, very far indeed, from being the only guilty party concerned.
