In April of 1974-the penultimate year of Franco's rule over Spain-during an excavation at the Transito Synagogue in Toledo a mysterious structure is unearthed. It is immediately apparent to medievalist Professor Alex Martinez that the structure had already been discovered just ten years earlier when its contents were looted. His subsequent enquiries into the mysterious affair expose a chain of violent and tragic events culminating in the death of the fascinating Loli Garcia and the shocking revelation of a macabre connection between Franco himself and the Ark of the Covenant. Internationally renowned genetic scientist and amateur Ark enthusiast-the charming yet haughty Carlos Garcia-then tells Alex of the Ark's perilous and convoluted journey from Ethiopia to Spain during the 13th century under the secret protection of the Knights Templar and how, due to a dramatic historical twist of fate they were compelled to hand it over to the Jews of Toledo. Carlos then reveals Alex's own link to the Ark and the fabled house of Kohath through his 14th century Jewish ancestor, the magnificent Samuel Abulafia, royal treasurer to King Pedro the Cruel of Castile. Then, aided by his three old Cambridge colleagues-debonair and reserved British Egyptologist, Malcolm Ericson and biblical archaeologists; eloquent and affable American, Ron Smith and gritty and charismatic Israeli, Omri Barkan-Alex learns of the Ark's ancient Egyptian beginnings in the time of Tutankhamen and its ambiguous role in the state cult of early Israel. Set mainly during Spain's tumultuous transition from a fascist dictatorship into a constitutional monarchy The Sons of Kohath describes how Alex-a principled, hot-headed, soccer-mad bon viveur and ale loving anglophile-supported by his beautiful and longsuffering wife Elena struggles to fulfil his Kohathite burden. Following a hostile confrontation with the inherent racial prejudice of his nation's political establishment a disillusioned Alex decides to aid Omri in a covert operation to return the ark to Israel. However, the Jewish religious authorities, realising the Ark's potential to fatally challenge the traditional story of the origins of Judaism pressurise the Israeli government into a drastic decision. Alex Martinez's 17 year vigil over the fate of the Ark climaxes in the stark surroundings of a Tel Aviv airport shed where he sets eyes upon western world's most coveted artefact for the first and last time before it is returned to the Ethiopian Church. At its heart The Sons of Kohath is a dramatic, provocative and witty human tale of the eternal struggle between bigotry and reason.

Who was the mastermind behind some of the greatest detective stories ever known? Well, that's elementary my dear Watson! It's Sir Arthur Conan Doyle of course! Arthur Conan Doyle was responsible for popularizing the genre more than anyone else. He created a larger than life character that was able to keep audiences riveted worldwide as the sleuth cracked crimes utilizing the barest of clues and the most minor of details. Sherlock Holmes was such a powerful character that many actually came to believe that he was a real person or that perhaps that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Holmes were somehow one and the same. But no, Holmes was indeed a work of fiction. Doyle on the other hand is an individual with a life full of plenty of intrigue and mystery of its own. And here in this book we crack the case; not of the some hairbrained criminal scheme, but of the distinguished life of one of the greatest writers to have ever lived-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle!

THE story of American history would be barren and incomplete if the contributions of the nation's immigrants were not included in the saga. The story of the Irish experience in America can have no more colorful narrator than Thomas Francis Meagher. Born to privilege in Ireland, Meagher could not bear the injustices inflicted upon the Irish people, who were treated as if they were tenants in their own country. His commitment to the uprising of the Irish against British rule resulted in a sentence of transportation for life to the penal colony of Van Diemen's Land, now Tasmania. But he escaped from the island-sending the governor a letter informing him that he was going to do so!-and made his way, after a grueling sea voyage, to New York City. There, he became a lawyer, a journalist and a citizen and, when the Civil War broke out, he formed the Irish Brigade to fight for the Union. After the war, a political career in Montana beckoned, and he went west, where met his death under circumstances that are still shrouded in mystery. Was he murdered by political enemies in Montana? Was he so drunk that he fell overboard from a steamboat into the Missouri River and drowned? The story of this Irish patriot and American hero is the saga of a man who lived his short life to the full and became a legend in two countries.

If you were to summarize the life of Lola Montez in a sentence, it would probably read something like this; Lola Montez was an Irish dancer from the 19th Century. Sure enough, she was all of those things. But there was much more to her than that. The woman who would become known as Lola Montez grew up in poverty in Ireland but she ascended to the heights of royalty, becoming a Bavarian Countess. She achieved this with nothing more than her own wit and charm. After rising to the top, she managed to use her powers of persuasion to champion liberal reforms. Such things were unheard of at the time but, for Lola, it was all part of the game. However, soon enough she overplayed her hand and had to move on. Fortunately for her, she was agile enough to do it. Because all throughout her turbulent life-no matter the circumstances-she was always able to gracefully make her exit and move forward with the ease and sense of impeccable timing that only a dancer could know.

A wild, Jodorowsky-style graphic novel from Moldy Peaches cofounder Adam GreenIn War and Paradise, a graphic novel by creative polymath and Moldy Peaches founder Adam Green (born 1981), the internet meets the Middle Ages and satire becomes the most logical response to our own wildly confusing, nonsensical world. A spiritual sequel to the 2016 cult film Adam Green's Aladdin, the story follows our hero Pausanias, a geographer of the soul, alongside a cast of unconventional characters through a kaleidoscopic landscape of absurdism, illustrated in full color by musician Toby Goodshank, animator Tom Bayne and Green himself. Released concurrently with Green's tenth album Engine of Paradise, this book cuts social commentary with laughter and imagination, all reflected through the artist-musician's characteristically quirky style.
