Crossing the Rhine
In late 1944, as Allied forces grind their way toward Germany''s heart, the Littlefield family finds themselves caught at the center of a desperate struggle. Jeremy, the daring pilot, flies dangerous missions across Europe and beyond, risking his life and his heart as he battles a waning and desperate empire. Beside him stands Amelie, the courageous ambulance driver dedicated to saving soldiers'' lives at the front--Allied and enemy. She is equally devoted to Jeremy--undaunted by the chaos around them. Claire, the brilliant cryptologist who is stationed at Bletchley Park, races against time to crack enemy codes that could save thousands. Her sharp mind unearths enemy secrets, but she is haunted by the fear that her warnings could be ignored--leading to catastrophic consequences. Paul, the steady and determined soldier, advances through France, uncovering Nazi atrocities as he liberates war-torn villages. The discovery of a hidden Nazi prison camp forces him to confront the unimaginable, fueling his mission to expose the truth and bring freedom to the oppressed. And in the brutal confines of Colditz, Lance, the bold adventurer, is willing to risk everything, escaping and joining forces with the French Resistance as he fights to defy Nazi rule. As he and his comrades endure unspeakable conditions, Lance''s spirit burns fiercely--a defiant spark of rebellion behind enemy lines.

Storming the Reich
As winter casts its long shadow across Europe, the pulse of battle beats louder, drawing the Littlefield family into the fray of the Siegfried Line and beyond. Jeremy Littlefield stands at a crossroads, his loyalties torn between two continents. On the verge of departing for Burma, he faces a crucial decision: heed the urgent call of the Pacific Theater, or remain in France to support the Resistance alongside his beloved Amélie. Each choice carries the weight of survival, not just for himself, but for those he might leave behind. Meanwhile, in the secretive confines of Bletchley Park, Claire''s world of codes and ciphers exposes a desperate German ploy to turn the tide of the war. The success of the Allied forces hangs on her ability to crack these messages; failure could spell disaster. In the thick of the action, Paul, with the 2nd French Armored Division, orchestrates and leads daring assaults deep into enemy territory. His tactical prowess is crucial as the Allies push through the Siegfried Line toward the German heartland. At the same time, Lance, embodying undaunted resilience, escapes captivity once again. His return to the Resistance fuels a series of perilous sabotage missions designed to dismantle the enemy''s operations from within. Together, the Littlefields navigate the complexities of war with unwavering courage. Confronting danger and moral dilemmas head-on, their story unfolds as a gripping narrative of endurance, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds of family.

The Emperor in the Cities of Danger
More adventures of the man who is part The Saint and part Doc Savage, with a pinch of Superman! "Another great read! I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and I am looking forward to the next book in this series! On to the next then!!" Goodreads 5-star review Meet the first non-costumed superhero, a man who would rather wear jacket and tie than a flashy costume, who would rather dine with a fascinating woman than fight bad guys (but watch out bad guys if he gets you in his sights). Charles Lee Jackson II''s The Emperor is back to face the deadliest of perils in this newest installment of The Emperor saga. Journeying to four cities legendary for their mysteries and dangers, this suave superhero finds death lurking around every corner. Visiting the Bay Area, The Emperor joins the lethal, red-headed adventuress known as Shanghai Lil, to investigate a series of puzzling acts of piracy in San Francisco. A recent widow, an encounter on Lombard Street, sea shanties, and Alcatraz lead to a ruthless band of criminals and a battle against impossible odds. Invited to the Mardi Gras parade as honored guests, The Emperor and Shanghai Lil become marked for death by the mysterious Tsodiac when they become curious about the inexplicable theft of seemingly worthless souvenir doubloons.. Doom in a mysterious underground city awaits The Emperor when he joins Lil in Seattle to investigate serial killings targeting the homeless. The stakes are high when The Emperor and Alison Carlson (the costumed heroine Shooting Star) travel to a military instillation outside Santa Fe to safeguard a top secret cargo ... and meet the Wizard, a man with uncanny powers, who plans to steal it right out from under The Emperor''s nose, and the noses of the whole U.S. military! Charles Lee Jackson II''s brainchild, The Emperorverse, with its dozens of costumed and super heroes and heroines (and villains and villainesses), first appeared in a series of alternative comic books in the late 1960s. Then, in the ''90s Mr. Jackson began to retell those adventures in a series of pulp novels written for a number of small press ''zines. Now, for the first time ever, the Amazing Adventures of The Emperor and its companion series, The Emperor''s Secret Files, featuring his other spellbinding characters - like Fireball, Solara, the Titan, Shooting Star, Nemesis, and more - are being published in book form.

Un omicidio a Baker Street
Nel buio dei sotterranei londinesi si nasconde uno spietato assassino Londra, 1864. Sull’ultimo treno notturno della neonata metropolitana, appena entrato nella stazione sotterranea di Baker Street, viene trovato il cadavere di una giovane donna. La poveretta è stata strangolata. Sul posto interviene l’ispettore Decimus Webb, che comincia subito a muoversi nei sobborghi della Londra vittoriana a caccia di indizi. Le sue ricerche lo conducono all’Holborn Refuge, una struttura che accoglie le cosiddette “donne perdute”, dove incontra la domestica Clara White. Ed è proprio attorno a questa lavoratrice apparentemente onesta e rispettabile che Webb scopre una fitta ragnatela di segreti e intrighi, che sembrano espandersi fin nel sottosuolo, nel dedalo di tunnel della metropolitana. Per risolvere il mistero dell’omicidio sul treno, l’ispettore dovrà innanzitutto capire chi è davvero Clara White: una possibile vittima o la sospettata numero uno? «Un’opera unica che supera le aspettative.» Literary Review «Questo libro porta in vita la Londra di metà Ottocento con una vividezza e un’atmosfera imbattibili.» Sunday Telegraph «Un racconto mystery divertente, che terrà sulle spine i lettori fino all’ultima pagina.» Historical Novels Review «Un romanzo ben architettato, con dei personaggi decisamente autentici.» Lee Jackson Ha conseguito un dottorato alla Royal Holloway University di Londra ed è membro del comitato accademico del Dickens Museum.

The Emperor Marked for Death
The world''s first non-costumed super hero, an underground pulp action Sensation - first time ever in book form! "Nonstop action, thriller fans will love it." -Joe Vadalma, author of The Chronicles of Morgaine the Witch. Are you a fan of James Bond and Cotton Malone? Of "Maverick" and "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."? Of Modesty Blaise or Catwoman? Of Spiderman or Green Lantern? Of Doc Savage and the Spider? Then prepare to enter a world of adventure and danger, of a hero unequaled since the days of the movie serials, of Golden Age comic books, and the yellowed pages of pulp magazines, a world of memorable characters, of good and evil. Welcome to the Emperorverse! For over four decades, in dozens of privately published comic books and pulp magazines, Charles Lee Jackson II has produced a unique body of work set in what his fans hail as the "Emperorverse." Its central figure is The Emperor, a crusader for good with extraordinary powers, who doubles as the harassed head of a minor Hollywood movie studio. The Emperor is smart, swift, capable of amazing feats, all but indestructible, well dressed (prefers jacket and tie to flamboyant costumes), able to charm beautiful women with a single smile. Opposing him is Continent-Eight, the international Executive of Crime and its creator, Varan Haruchi, AKA The Black Dragon, whose exposure to arcane experimental chemicals has resulted in his long-lived youthful appearance. The Emperor also encounters a host of other evil-doers in his war against crime and destruction: Dr. Yalta, doctor and dentist once recruited by US intelligence for his resemblance to warlord Adolf Hitler, kept young by the same accident, who now supervises medical and scientific crimes for Continent-Eight. Maskman, a mysterious helmeted figure, whose true identity is unknown even to his partners in crime. Victoria Poten, The Jade Dragon, third generation Eurasian crime boss whose personal goals of crime often place her at odds with her partners. Horst Sterling Rosefeld, the mysterious and powerful leader of the Church of Nihilism, dedicated to the destruction of the human race, and ruthless enough to accomplish it. And a rogue''s gallery of sinister figures, notable among them Johnny Rainbow, the Steel Skull, Xavier Xavier AKA Dr. Double X, the Eye, Alain Sarnov, the Dragon, Warhead, and Madame von Teufel. In his war against Continent-Eight, and other evils, The Emperor is aided by as memorable a group of allies in crime-busting as Doc Savage''s fabled companions. His supporting cast includes Bill Mills, musician, stuntman, and adventurer who joined The Emperor to make motion pictures and stayed to fight crime; Max Decker, Federal Intelligence agent who met The Emperor in the field and worked for many years as a crime-fighter while masquerading as a criminal gang-leader, the Gila; the amazing Shanghai Lil, red-headed woman as skilled with a blade as her wits. Plus a host of costumed heroines and heroes, super and otherwise, among them Shooting Star, Solara, Nemesis, Cat''s-Eye, Fireball, and the robot Titan. They are all part of the Emperorverse, an incredible assembly of international spies, space aliens, mad scientists, colorful villains, costumed heroes, secret agents, spacemen, and even the cowboys of yesteryear, all engaged in the wildest and wooliest adventures you''ve ever read. It''s an amazing and unequaled creative tapestry, woven into a complex, interrelated web that snares the imagination. In this newest installment released to the public, the actions races from the silver mines of Idaho, to Hollywood and Malibu, to a slumbering volcano in the Cascades. The Emperor tackles a monstrous enemy so deadly that even the crooks of Continent-Eight join in the fight against him, a villain who plans not merely to subjugate humanity but to destroy it - at any cost. And because he''s the only thing stopping this fiend, Our Hero becomes... The Emperor Marked for Death!

''The Emperor'' novels are fun, snappy, and a reflection of the pulp fiction that readers have read and loved for decades. Jackson couples original characters with seductive situations that will have you on the edge of your seat." -J. D. Crayne, author How to Bonk a Zombie.

Dickensland
The intriguing history of Dickens''s London, showing how tourists have reimagined and reinvented the Dickensian metropolis for more than 150 years "Jackson paints a vivid and detailed picture of the city as it was. . . . Dickens, who was no stranger to the instructive and comedic joys of pedantry, would surely have approved."--Ann Alicia Garza, Times Literary Supplement Tourists have sought out the landmarks, streets, and alleys of Charles Dickens''s London ever since the death of the world-renowned author. Late Victorians and Edwardians were obsessed with tracking down the locations--dubbed "Dickensland"--that famously featured in his novels. But his fans were faced with a city that was undergoing rapid redevelopment, where literary shrines were far from sacred. Over the following century, sites connected with Dickens were demolished, relocated, and reimagined. Lee Jackson traces the fascinating history of Dickensian tourism, exploring both real Victorian London and a fictional city shaped by fandom, tourism, and heritage entrepreneurs. Beginning with the late nineteenth century, Jackson investigates key sites of literary pilgrimage and their relationship with Dickens and his work, revealing hidden, reinvented, and even faked locations. From vanishing coaching inns to submerged riverside stairs, hidden burial grounds to apocryphal shops, Dickensland charts the curious history of an imaginary world.

Uniform Feelings

release date: May 09, 2022
Uniform Feelings
In Uniform Feelings, American studies scholar and abolitionist psychotherapist Jessi Lee Jackson reads policing as a set of emotional and relational practices in order to shed light on the persistence of police violence. Jackson argues that psychological investments in U.S. police power emerge at various sites: her counseling room, manuals for addressing bias, museum displays, mortality statistics, and memorial walls honoring fallen officers. Drawing on queer, feminist, anticolonial, and Black engagements with psychoanalysis to think through U.S. policing—and bringing together a mix of clinical case studies, autotheory, and ethnographic research—the book moves from the individual to the institutional. Jackson begins with her work as a psychotherapist working across the spectrum of relationships to policing, and then turns to interrogate carceral psychology—the involvement of her profession in ongoing state violence. Jackson orbits around two key questions: how are our relationships shaped by proximity to state violence, and how can our social worlds be transformed to challenge state-sanctioned violence?

And thousands of miles apart, Claire and Paul--both armed with top-secret war intelligence--experience a similar struggle: They know more than they can say. And that knowledge places their siblings in grave danger. Meanwhile, at home and under German occupation on Sark Island, the Littlefield''s parents struggle as food becomes scarce and the fire in their bellies is joined by a gnawing hunger. Then, in a move that shocks the entire world, Germany invades Russia. But is it really a surprise to Churchill? What will it mean for Britain--and for the Littlefield family? TURNING THE STORM is a can''t-miss, action-packed addition to the saga of four daring siblings willing to sacrifice everything they hold dear in order to save their country--and do each other proud. ____________________________ Praise for Lee Jackson and the AFTER DUNKIRK series: "...an exceptional work of historical fiction..." --Lieutenant General Rick Lynch, US Army (Ret.)

Palaces of Pleasure

Palaces of Pleasure
An energetic and exhilarating account of the Victorian entertainment industry, its extraordinary success and enduring impact The Victorians invented mass entertainment. As the nineteenth century’s growing industrialized class acquired the funds and the free time to pursue leisure activities, their every whim was satisfied by entrepreneurs building new venues for popular amusement. Contrary to their reputation as dour, buttoned-up prudes, the Victorians reveled in these newly created ‘palaces of pleasure’. In this vivid, captivating book, Lee Jackson charts the rise of well-known institutions such as gin palaces, music halls, seaside resorts and football clubs, as well as the more peculiar attractions of the pleasure garden and international exposition, ranging from parachuting monkeys and human zoos to theme park thrill rides. He explores how vibrant mass entertainment came to dominate leisure time and how the attempts of religious groups and secular improvers to curb ‘immorality’ in the pub, variety theater and dance hall faltered in the face of commercial success. The Victorians’ unbounded love of leisure created a nationally significant and influential economic force: the modern entertainment industry.

From Death Unto Life
From Death Unto Life is how I, Lee Jackson, went around through life (if you want to call that life), getting high for most of it without a care in the world, being ashamed of who I was, and holding my head down because I lied to people who trusted and loved me and have lost all respect for myself. That''s no life for anyone. So I cried out to the Lord, and He gave me a new life. After going to and joining a good church and reading the Bible, I found out who I am in Christ Jesus. He made me new. "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me" (Gal. 2:20).
