The owner and three passengers of The Volkswagen Van first meet in Amsterdam in front of the American Express office in the summer of 1972. They share an unquenchable thirst for adventure and on a whim, agree to travel fourteen thousand miles going overland on the hippie trail to India. Tony Toscano, a sociopath and owner of the van, is determined at all costs to smuggle drugs from Afghanistan and never tells the other riders of his intentions. Like many others of that day, the young passengers, Murray Delanie, Aeril Weinstein, and her French boyfriend, Pierre Bonnaire, are all very naive to the customs of Asia and face unpredictable circumstances that will endanger themselves and change their lives forever. Not only do drugs play a major role in what happens to them, but the sex trade of Asia threatens Aerial's very existence. - E-bokEngelska, 2018

Wiglaf, the last remaining relative of the deceased heroic king of Geatland, Beowulf, was in for the fight of his life against the giant two-headed mountain troll and his vicious flock of ravens in the forbidden and mysterious lands of the Hardanger Kingdom of Norway. At stake was the very survival of those who occupied those strange forests, including Wiglaf's newfound love, Elenora, a lady troll who had rescued him from winter's deadly, icy grip. It would be a historic battle against time in the snow-covered mountainous fjords where good fought evil and the outcome could mean a brighter future and hope for all during the sixth century A.D. - in the northern most country of Europe. - Häftad, Engelska, 2018

In many ways, it was one of the worst winters in California history. The evil, mass murderer and drifter, Tommy Lee Higgins had come to visit Gibson Ranch County Park just outside of Sacramento to steal the lives of the young who had come to play there. To their rescue came the most unlikely of all saviors, a homeless, tiny, seven-pound toy poodle named Lucky, who was hell-bent on revenge and possessed the supernatural ability to battle her mighty foe against all odds and save the life of eleven-year-old Bobby Bailey. It would be a fight to the death for all, born from the endless love of the innocent. - Häftad, Engelska, 2019

It was in July 1502 when the sailing ship El Dorado, laden with plundered treasures, was making a return trip to Spain from Santo Domingo. The El Dorado was thought to have perished in the dark depths of the Mona Passage during the worst-recorded hurricane in history-one with winds of incredible strength and a tumultuous, angry sea of towering waves. Juan Perez, a survivor of that shipwreck, was held captive in Florida for nineteen years by the long-lost tribe of Calusa Indians. He endured torture, war, inhumane treatment and witnessed acts of cannibalism . . . and eventually fell in love with King Senequne's daughter, Tepe. This is the story of Juan's eventual escape and rescue . . . and the sacred Vid, the true Fountain of Youth, that his mentor, Ponce de Leon, had long dreamed of finding. But along with the Vid came the human curse of greed that endangered the lives of any who possessed it. - Häftad, Engelska, 2021

Throughout history, there have been a handful of brave souls who cast it all to the winds and let fate decide what might be hiding around the next bend in the road. These remarkable individuals all shared a yearning to discover the world, not only to find the treasures that were out there waiting to be had, but also to discover what made them who they were as they dealt with near impossible, unexpected, and, too often, dangerous situations. This is the remarkable true story of a small group of modern-day adventurers traveling overland to India from Holland on the infamous hippie trail in a $360 Volkswagen van during 1973. They were challenged by the hatred they faced in countries like Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan-just for being Westerners. There were unforgettable moments sitting on top of their wheels as they drove through the blazing Desert of Death in Afghanistan toward the lush Himalayan Mountains en route to the Heavenly Valley of Kashmir and Nepal. They were saddened by the poverty they experienced in the slums of India yet enlightened by the holy gurus and people they met along the way. From the crossing at Dover to the brothels of Thailand, each day brought new memorable moments never to be forgotten, originally written in a daily journal. More than forty years later, that journal was discovered buried deep in a steamer trunk about to be sold at a garage sale. In book form, it is now ready to be shared with the world and hopefully encourage readers to make the most out of this gift we call life. - Häftad, Engelska, 2022

At first, it seemed an impossibly long journey, hitchhiking and taking buses and trains going overland from San Jose, California, all the way to Machu Picchu, Peru. Thousands upon thousands of miles needed to be traversed across third-world countries, where he didn''t speak the language or understand the customs. It was all so different from what he knew. He caught a few hours of sleep when he could, constantly driven by a quest to reach his destination before the money was gone and there would be no way to make it home. Ahead lay desert wastelands, unimaginable illnesses, dense jungles, and eventually the towering frozen mountains of the Andes. Along the way, new friends were made, old friends visited, and a few strangers waited, hoping to steal what little he had. What could drive someone to take such risks, going all that distance alone, just to see the Lost City of the Incas? This is the true story of the common man who was living his dreams, hoping to find himself and visit civilizations much different from where he came. Doing that, he''d find out just how fortunate he''d always been.

Between these pages is the true story of a young man becoming stranded in Europe and the Middle East with only a pocket full of change and no way home. Hoping to live on a kibbutz in Israel, plans were forced to change dramatically when the terrorist attack took place at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany. Out of despair, he was forced to find work before trouble found him. With only a wing, a prayer, and a backpack, his life took a turn for the worse. From the deadly streets of Belfast, Ireland, to finding adventure and romance in the South of France and the mystical island of Corfu, Greece, there was seldom a dull moment. To capture the memories, he kept a daily journal of the adversities he faced and friendships he so desperately needed.
Even after all that happened during this journey, he never gave up his love for travel and continued onward to visit all seven continents, including Antarctica. Some of those stories are captured in two other journals that were later developed into additional books--Cast It All to the Wind and When the Road Calls.

The story of revenge begins in the third century BC in ancient India, where Sawan Thongbam and his two sons, Harbaksh and Balminder, have been searching for highly prized diamonds in the Godavari Delta Region with hopes of saving their village from the invading army of Alexander the Great. Once they find the diamonds, they are ruthlessly murdered by scouts of Alexander''s army, and the diamonds stolen. The village witch doctor recovers the diamonds and puts the curse of revenge upon anyone who does further harm to their clan. That curse will forever be enforced by the entities, the souls of Harbaksh and Balminder. The story follows the young boy''s clan, known as Travelers, derogatorily called Gypsies, as they migrate from India to Romania and eventually Pocatello, Idaho, some two thousand years later. In Pocatello, Esmeralda, queen of the Gypsies, witnesses her husband''s senseless murder and sets the entities loose to take revenge in the oddest of ways upon those that committed the heinous crime.
