Book excerpt: The empire is at the brink of destruction as a loyal general vows revenge in this thrilling, impeccably researched epic of third-century Rome. When Emperor Valerian is defeated in Mesopotamia, the entire Roman Empire is at risk of crumbling. The shame of the vanquished beats down mercilessly as the frail old emperor prostrates himself before the Persian leader Shapur, King of Kings. General Ballista looks on helplessly, but vows under his breath to punish those who have brought the empire so low with their treachery. Before he can take his revenge, Ballista must decide what price he will pay for his own freedom. Only the fearless and only those whom the gods will spare from hell can now save the empire from a catastrophic ending. Ballista, the Warrior of Rome, faces his greatest challenge yet. Renowned for their skilled blending of action and historical accuracy, Sidebottom's Warrior of Rome novels take the reader from the shouts of the battlefield to the whisperings of the emperor's inner circle. Endnotes and an extensive bibliography reveal the fascinating research and scholarship brought to life in this exciting tale.

Sun Flower Lion introduces emerging readers to short chapters, action verbs, and adjectives, while bright illustrations transform simple shapes into something magical. Sun Flower Lion will shine at story time and bedtime and for young children just learning how to read on their own.

Book excerpt: The author was born into a Christian family in the village of Geogtapha not far from Oroomiah (or Urmia or Urūmīyah, Iran). Educated at various Protestant schools, he eventually took Holy Orders and several years later fled over the mountains into Russia. From there he travelled to Britain (where he stayed for for three years and learned the language) and ended up in the USA (1898). This book is a memoir of his life as a missionary and his views on the country of his birth after witnessing atrocities against Christians. It also has additional information on Mohammed and Mohammedanism, fire worshipers, the Kurds, the Armenians, and the Nestorians-Assyrians.
