Can death be postponed? Or even reversed? Are supernatural healings possible? If an individual had the ability to heal, would there ever be a time when using that gift would be wrong? Does all healing come from God, or can Satan perform counterfeit signs, wonders, and even healings? Thomas Alexander, a 14-year-old boy growing up in the small south Alabama town of St. Helena in 1968, is faced with a series of incidents that cause him to confront these very questions. A new high school teacher, Silas Shepherd, moves to St. Helena and shows more than casual interest in Thomas' recently widowed mother. It becomes apparent that the charming and winsome Shepherd is not all that he seems to be - elements of a shrouded past and current fixation on the Alexander family trouble Thomas. Thomas' rock is his grandmother Lois, who supposedly has the biblical gift of healing - her home is known to townspeople as "the fixin' place." So when Shepherd is diagnosed with cancer, Lois Alexander has the opportunity to attempt to cure him. From the story's first introduction of Silas Shepherd, to the gradual discovery of the truth about him, until the final revelation of Shepherd's generations-old relationship with the Alexander family and the shocking yet redemptive finale, The Fixin' Place is a story to both cherish and fear.REVIEWS FOR TONY MARTIN'S "REIGN OF SILENCE"Great read that scares you to death and makes you think! While it is supernaturally inclined, it causes you to give pause and rethink what you believe about ghosts, demons, and even our own personal weaknesses. Once you start it you can't put it down. - CalistaPage turner that you won't want to miss! The storyline challenges some superstitions while stimulating a desire to explore the Scriptures more deeply and personally. God is a mystery Who cannot be explained by our human standards. Our lackluster spirituality may just need the shaking up this book provides. This would be a great movie! - JeannieI couldn't put this book down. Tony's mastery of the English language is wonderful. He has a talent for creating a visual in the reader's mind that is not easily forgotten. Had I had the time, this would have been read in one sitting...spellbinding. If you want to see how much fiction is really a picture of real life this book is for you. It will open your mind to situations that are not normally talked about but should be. - EnglishwomanReign of Silence was marvelously disquieting! Once engaged it was hard to put down. The characters reminded me of people who've populated my life so they provided much needed comfort in this tale of the spiritual and the supernatural. The fact that everything occurred in an ordinary place with ordinary people living ordinary lives made the events even more frightening to me. It produced in the back of my mind that niggling thought, 'this could happen to me." Suffice it to say after finishing the book, I slept with a light on for a week! Thanks to author Tony Martin for this wonderful story. Here's hoping there are more to come. - Nina ThompsonTony Martin has a winner! His first novel is a grab-you-by-the-throat thriller. I was completely creeped out because the storyline is so plausible--the characters are normal folks who fall into something extraordinary. Most interesting is how the various characters come to accept that something supernatural is afoot, and how they deal with it once they believe it's really happening. Excellent beach read--because it's nice and bright at the beach! Just don't go home later to a dark house.... - BarbaraLoved the book! Read it in one sitting. Looking for more from this author in this genre. Enjoyed the blending of the christianity with the paranormal and the deep South! "And don't call me Shirley!" - nursejacki

The Fishkill Mission was Tony Martin's first of his six books. It was written fifteen years before the World Trade Center destruction, about an attack on a small part of Texas by a four-man team of vengeful Cuban terrorists. They are in our country for less than three days, kill over 100,000 people, destroy the economic viability of a region of over 75,000 square miles for decades to come, terrorize an entire nation and completely alter and redirect the political and defense priorities and the financial expenditures of the entire government structure at all levels; and, we never knew who they were or why they attacked us. Tony Martin asked several of his friends, relatives, and even an author's agent, to review it for him in 1986, and to the person, they said it was simply too frightening and asked him not to publish it for fear of giving ideas to terrorists. He acquiesced to their pleas, and wrote and published five other books over the next fifteen years. He dug the book out in 2000 to update it to reflect the political realities of the 1990's such as the fall of the USSR and the Gulf War, but again, he did not publish it. Since writing the book, Martin has been responsible for public water supplies in two different communities totaling well over 100,000 people, and the book reflects his long-standing belief that our life support infrastructure system exposes us to small unit attacks by our enemies with the greatest ease, the greatest long-term impact and the least probability of discovery or apprehension. Martin actually carried out the attacks described in the book using sand-filled containers and a camera, to ensure that the timetables and undetected access were possible and realistic. Sadly, they were.

Case studies of the Garvey Movement in South Africa, Trinidad, Jamaica and elsewhere. Essays on C.L.R. James, Frantz Fanon, George Padmore, Evangelical Pan-Africanism, the Pan-African Conference of 1900 and other topics.

Marcus Garvey was many things race leader, journalist, orator and ideologist. He was also a poet, and his poetical works are collected here for the first time. From a purely literary standpoint, he inspired better poetry than he himself produced. Even so, however, he could still justify the attempt, for he saw verse as an important supplementary vehicle for propagating his ideas. And these are the ideas upon which the world's greatest Pan-African movement was built.

Marcus Garvy stands without equal in the history of the international Black movement in the twentieth century. This biography is a brief but succinct account of Marcus Garvey's life and work. An ideal text for both students and serious laymen.

Successful in showing that the popularly rooted Garveyites displayed as much zeal for literature as did the now better-known NAACP and Urban League, Martin's book serves as a corrective work

Volume I contains an introduction along with documents on the outlook of the New Jewel Movement and on the health, education, culture, labor, development and religious policies of the government of Maurice Bishop. Volume II turns to the foreign policy of the New Jewel Movement.

An essay on Black-Jewish relations, primarily in the United States, by a professor of African American History who became embroiled in controversy over his classroom use of a book detailing the well- documented Jewish role in the Atlantic slave trade. The Jewish Onslaught discusses, among other things, the increasing attacks of Jewish organizations on Black leaders and scholars, the alleged halcyon period of a Black-Jewish alliance, the Jewish role in the slave trade and the Jewish attack on Afrocentrism.

Tony Martin, the distinguished professor of African American and Caribbean history at Wellesley College is determined to rescue Amy Ashwood Garvey from obscurity, and place her not only in the forefront of the Marcus Garvey pantheon, but also in the feminist and Pan-African movements of the twentieth century. His book, Amy Ashwood Garvey: Pan-Africanist, Feminist, and Mrs. Marcus Garvey No. 1, Or, A Tale of Two Amies is, indeed, a marvel of scholarship. He tells us that he worked on this book for some twenty-seven years, and it shows. The number of references alone is enough to inspire awe. Martin has done everything and has been everywhere, in the quest to present Amy Ashwood Garvey as a real person, bereft of any unnecessary sociological or psychological encrustations. In doing so, Martin also presents facts and insights on the life of Marcus Garvey hitherto unknown. Professor Martin appears determined to keep the Garveys in front of us for as long as he lives (he has given us eight very good books already). [In this richly researched and deeply-delved book, ] Professor Martin has brought to life, and in such fine detail, a charismatic and driven woman who not many would emulate, but most likely would appreciate

The real roots of the Harlem Renaissance lie in the Garvey Movement.
