    The Gray Phantom

      Herman Landon
$value['title']

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

    The Golden Hope: A Story of the Time of King Alexander the Great

      Robert H. Fuller
$value['title']

ATHENS was rousing herself from sleep. The beams of the morning sun bathed the rugged sides of Mount Hymettus and lightened the dark foliage that clothed the nearer wooded slopes of Lycabettus. The low, flat-roofed houses of the city were still nothing more than blurred masses of gray in the shadow; but presently a ray touched the point of Athene's spear, and the flood of orange light flowed over the Acropolis. Its temples and statues were enveloped in a radiance which fused the rich, harmonious colors of column and cornice and melted the massive outlines into a resplendent whole, rising immortal from the gloom at its base.

    One Department

      Thomas A. Young
$value['title']

A man who is set up by police for a "justifiable homicide" declares war, and sets out to exterminate the entire one department that tried to murder him."When police are killing people at will, and the courts and the politicians and their own peers will not hold them into account, what is our recourse? Is war not the appropriate remedy?" --Randy GustinRandy Gustin lives in a town in Washington State where the police are out of control. They run roughshod over the citizens of Randy's town with impunity, and even have a highly questionable shooting or two to their credit. But unlike the other citizens who have learned to put up with it, Randy is taking political action to rein them in, and in doing so he has incurred their anger.That anger comes to a head one evening when an officer from this department does what many other cops have done in the past, and tries to set him up for a "justifiable homicide." But Randy fights back, and before he knows it, two cops are dead at his hands.He knows it was self-defense, but the trouble is that when you challenge authority in any fashion, let alone with a weapon, justifications don’t mean a lot. The same system that lets cops off the hook no matter what they do will pull out the stops to ensure that your life is as good as over. Randy considers that unfortunate fact and decides that rather than spend what remains of his life in a cage, he’s going to go out making a statement. Then he picks up a police radio and declares war on this department, a war that will end either when he is dead, or this entire one department has been exterminated, to serve as an example to other departments like it.Set against the backdrop of real shootings committed both by and against police, One Department is a novel about the convoluted and ever-escalating conflicts between citizen and cop, and tells a story of just how bad things could get.
