Terror of a New Age
Summary
This book is a veritable and gripping snapshot of the opening half decade of the 21st century. From this perspective of the multifaceted social world, it is crucial to bear in mind that it was written from a type of historical and panoramic bird's-eye view in 2006. As telling as it is arousing, it leaves in its wake compelling implications for the future. If ever there was an age of instability, 'tis now. The rise in global artillery, international, confrontational issues, the tumultuous pre-2001 era, the endless peace negotiations between Jews and Muslims, the unrelenting tumult between tribes and nations of earth, the aftershock of hideous tragedies, and heightened secularism all seem to be steering the tide toward a godless future. All these altercations and grievances are also fueled by bigotry, prejudice, political cataclysms, and fatal tensions all over the world. When does it end or at least begin to slow down? To top it off, the ideologies of naturalism, macroevolution, and humanism have besieged social consciousness. What does it all mean? On this journey, we take a look inside the restless conditions that have set the stage for the beginning of the 21st century and beyond. Let the soul-searching begin, as we reflect on our individual parts in the unfolding global drama.

Kaleigh McKenna
Summary
Gramma was a showgirl, and under her direction, child prodigy Kaleigh McKenna hones her many talents. She sings! She dances! She plays a half-dozen instruments! As a teenager, Gramma takes her to Hollywood. With the aid of Gramma’s old friends in the business, Kaleigh lands a contract at Warner Brothers Studios, where she works with stars like Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, and Olivia de Havilland. Everything changes on December 7, 1941. Instead of making movies, Kaleigh gives her heart to the United Service Organization...and to the mysterious man who organizes the camp shows. She’s soon doing her act for American soldiers and sailors on dangerous fronts from North Africa to the South Pacific. It proves to be a wild ride, with bombings, blood, and heartbreak. When she left sunny California, Kaleigh hoped to hold the troops affections. On her tours, she sometimes finds herself holding their very lives in her hands.
