Ancient books in a monastery ... a code left by Nazi soldiers ... a deep fjord ... and a mysterious stainless steel cylinder-all lead to a fantastic war-time discovery.The one hundred thousand ancient books in the Great Library of the Benedictine monastery were just part of the majestic beauty of Austria's 12th century Melk Abbey. But that beauty was marred when the monks discovered that scores of valuable books had been marked and disfigured by persons unknown.Wilhelm Gerhard was retained to find the cause. With help from his friend Wolf and 100 monks in black habits, they examined every volume in all 12 rooms of the library and even searched the rock catacombs deep under the 900-year-old abbey where the screaming Will-o'-the-Wisp lived. They discovered that the marks were a code left by Nazi soldiers during the Second World War. The deciphered code leads to a stainless-steel box hidden in an old stone ventilation shaft. Scratched on a piece of slate inside was a set of coordinates to the location of a fantastic war time secret-one lost for over 70 years in the Sognefjord, Norway's longest and deepest fjord-and one that leads directly to the demented mind of Adolf Hitler himself. If Nazi Germany had won the war, Hitler's secret would have forever altered the course of human destiny by undoing the handiwork of the Lord himself.
It all started when a shopkeeper in Bamberg quietly pressed a note into Gerhard's hand and told him it was important. He was busy and read it later, amazed to see that it was from the chancellor Germany. The government wanted Gerhard to do something for them and promised a great deal in return, all of which would be explained in due time, by the chancellor's representatives. Meanwhile he tended to business-helped his friend discover a code scratched into the bulkhead of an old submarine, which they recovered earlier from a Norwegian fjord and were now restoring. Then there was the huge vat of port in Portugal full of bodies and the wine stains that led Gerhard to the solution of a crime that nearly ruined a good man's reputation. In the end it was the persistence of the chancellor's representatives who led Gerhard to the most important postwar discovery ever-the long hidden private residence of Adolf Hitler. But the real shocker was what they found inside.

But the police and the assassin are now closing in and he doesn't know whether he can trust Doctor Harrington.

His collection of fifty recipes, organized by courses, ranges from simple, everyday preparations to elaborate ones suitable for fancy parties. From Crabmeat Cobbler, Roasted Oysters, and Hard-Crab Stew with White Cornmeal Dumplings, to Crabmeat Ravigotte and Oyster Shortcake, cooks will find a succulent recipe for every occasion.

"There is nothing more cherished, more valued, more worthwhile than a really good friend." I had read this sage statement as a child back in the first decade of the 21st century and for some reason had never forgotten it. But little did I know my later experiences would prove over and over the solid validity of the simple quotation written by some obscure author many generations ago. Let me explain! Few people can say they had a really good friend - the friend that is better than any family - and fewer yet can have a bonded relationship with such a friend over a lifetime. Yet I was one of those fortunate few. Clark Romney was better than any brother, wiser than any father, more sharing and compassionate than any saint, and who loved me enough to set me straight when I wandered into fruitless enterprises. He kept me motivated, alert, and hardworking when my natural tendencies led the other way; he taught me what real love is made of; and he led me to a world of prosperity I never knew existed. This tale is about this great friend and all he did for me for the years. This is Bill Smith's final book. Rest in peace Bill and thank you for this most touching, exotic and loving book.

In a modern day setting of stud farms, slave training facilities, and total sexual humiliation, it's a definite possibility.The Physician, condemned to slavery for life, has never before taken notice of the slaves around him. Purchased by two of his former clients and forced to work, and fuck, for his survival, he is beginning to understand how demeaning (fulfilling?) life as a slave can be.
If you go by the Schwyhart surname, you can be pretty sure you are related to anyone else of the same name. Best currently available researched information suggests that the name was adopted by the young adults in two families formed when two brothers married two sisters. All of the children of these two families, in the early 1800s, appear to have lived out their lives as Schwyharts. This is their book, into the early to mid-1900s.Further, this book is the second of a series of books to be prepared on this extended family, down through the generations. If you have an interest in this family and/or the affiliated families, we urge you to check back regularly at Lulu.com (and Dr. Bill's Book Bazaar Blog) for additional detailed generations under both the Kinnick name and under the surnames of the affiliated families of the descendancies included here.
