The Good & The Evil : Lawrence David Niren
The Good & The Evil is the latest novel of the author Lawrence David Niren, published in late November 2020, that is a gripping and devastating depiction of the 2020 election between the wonderful, good, and honest Christian Vice President Joe Biden, who has a deep belief, faith, and love of the Lord, with his Vice President candidate, the wonderful Senator, Kamala Harris, and the racist, rapist, corrupt snake oil salesman con man, atheist, psychopath liar, and cockroach, the Donald, who is also so incompetent, and so moronic and delusional, that the author was forced to put in humor into the novel as well, as the Donald’s evil actually comes out in the form of Lucifer; while at the same time, the Lord and two of His angels and two of His prophets, visit Biden and protect him from the Donald, and inspire Biden to become President, as the terrible and deadly pandemic grips the country and the entire world, with the Donald, who is supposed to be President, not caring in the least that over 11 million human beings have so far caught the coronavirus, and 250,000 people have died, just in the United States alone, which is the worst in the world, with the Donald doing nothing about it, other than terrorizing the country with his zombie deluded Republican conservative worshippers and corrupt Republican Senators, Congress people, and governors, worshipping the Donald at his feet, and actually proclaiming him to be their god and idol, and going after good people of color and minorities, of African Americans, Hispanics, Muslims, Asians, and even Native Americans, and cheering on the racist evil police who continue to choke, shoot, and kill people of color like they were insects to be crushed, with the Donald and his White Supremacists, Nazis of America, and Ku Klux Klan leading his white worshippers cheering him on as the law and order President.
This story is the ultimate battle of good vs. evil, or as President-elect Biden explains, it is “the battle for the soul of the nation”, with the Lord and His two angels and two prophets leading the charge for good with Biden.
Vice President Kamala Harris has a copy of The Good & The Evil.

The Soldier and Other Stories : Lindsay Cabot
The Soldier and other Stories is a collection of 13 short stories. They were inspired by my love of obscure history, politics, science, dogs and Salford, the City of my birth. It is a place unlike anywhere else, a hive of crime, villainy, dignity, honor, and unbreakable spirit. I hope you enjoy them.
Rage is a superpower (Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester. Next year)
Homeless. Penniless. Forgotten. A man who lost his way finds new purpose in the most unlikely of places.
‘Frank lifted the scaffold pole from the ground and walked slowly from one to the other, pounding it down on their heads until even the blood flowing from them had stopped moving.’
The Soldier (Poets Estate, Salford. November 2000)
A series of brutal murders spreads across Salford. What could be the link between them?
‘Dane had no education and could barely read, but he knew people. He knew them in a way that no Doctor of Psychology could ever comprehend. He knew people like a hunter knows its prey. He saw their needs and their weakness. He knew how to become the shape that would fill the emptiness in their lives.’
The Cripple (Richmond, Yorkshire – or somewhere similar. Any time soon)
Society made her a victim. She turned herself into the perfect instrument of revenge.
‘The funeral was even better than she had imagined. She smiled proudly at the image of the crucified Jesus amidst the hymns and the flowers, content that the pulverized bones and organs poured into that coffin would never exploit another trusting child.’
I am Pipp (Little Hulton, Salford. The near future)
Many of us spend our final years in lonely, desperate isolation. Will robots be able to help us?
Thank You Osbourne (Medina, Washington, USA. The near future)
How will rottweilers fit into the world of the future?
The Harmony of the Three (The edge of the Galaxy. A long time from now)
A stranded overcrowded spaceship, a beautiful trusting alien, a species with 3 genders. What could possibly go wrong.
The World in Harness (Rome. 24th August 410AD)
Advertisers spend fortunes to change our behaviors and re-align our values. Could it be that someone is directing it all?

The Stone Messiah Vol I : Anonymous IV
If you lived in a world…
where your civilisation could be annihilated; every person you held dear murdered, mutilated or sold into slavery; in unremitting danger and unendurable oppression –
YOU would need a messiah…
Africa 2000 BC
An unimaginably cruel and dangerous world,
Genocidal war between two civilisations…
Circa 2300 BC – seafarers of Sumerian origin settle south of the Rovuma in East Africa, establishing the Uran civilisation, which grows and flourishes for 300 years, centred on a walled city in Mozambique.
2070 BC, a huge maritime expedition from Egypt reaches Tanzania and establish a capital south of the Rufiji river. Seventy years later, these empire builders destroy the Uran capital Avara. A child is found in the ashes.
At twenty, that child unites the most gifted men of his generation, against those who brought their civilisation to the brink of annihilation.
This is the story of the Uran’s astonishing war against the Andracians.
Life, Death and War.
Comradeship, Strategy, Leadership.
Triumph and Deliverance.
Beautifully written. Terse, lucid and vivid, with fast-moving visceral action. Uncompromising, unique and realistic.
“They murdered Jeram, my father; but from the ashes of this betrayal, a child has grown; strong enough to change the course of empires. Someone who will stand in the face of time, pain, disease, exhaustion.
Among a hundred thousand, one shall prevail; at once insane and the sanest of men; a seer to whom there shall be no obstacle; who shall never fall; who understands. Someone who will never lose his sanity, for one mistake would be the end of everything.
It is beginning.”

Lings : Atticus Andrews
They came. The ravagers of the universe. The scourge of star systems. The enemy of his race.
They decimated all that he knew, slaughtering his colony like a herd of insects. Carrying their metal guns and tactical missiles, the marines butchered his siblings by the thousandfold. For that, they would pay.
Krill is the last of his kind in a distant corner of the galaxy. Entrusted with the survival of his species, Krill carries with him an egg given to him by the Hive Mother herself. Her last, parting gift. What will it hatch into when it’s born? A new hope for the rebirth of the Krath?
