Sinopse

In "Lords of the World," Alfred John Church delves into the intricacies of power dynamics and imperialism in the ancient world, crafting a narrative that interweaves historical events with rich character development. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing political landscape, Church employs a vivid literary style that blends classical themes with accessible prose, making complex ideas digestible for a contemporary audience. The book reflects the anxieties and hopes of a post-Victorian society grappling with the consequences of colonial ambitions and moral dilemmas, inviting readers to ponder the true cost of power. Alfred John Church, a prominent classicist and educator, draws from his extensive background in literature and history to explore the themes of leadership and responsibility in this work. His scholarly pursuits and deep understanding of classical texts inform his depiction of historical figures and events, allowing him to breathe life into the past. Church's passion for education and his desire to present history in a compelling manner are evident throughout the narrative. I highly recommend "Lords of the World" to readers who seek a thought-provoking exploration of power and morality. Church's ability to weave together engaging storytelling with profound philosophical inquiries makes this book not only an enjoyable read but also a significant contribution to the discourse on imperialism and human ambition.

    Knowledge is (power) peril... 
    In a city as large as Chicago, the wicked never sleep. When an undocumented migrant teenager goes missing, military veteran and Special Agent Amelia Storm teams up with her partner to take down what could be the most shocking forced labor and sex trafficking ring her hometown has ever seen. 
    The case reeks of mafia involvement, but even with an investigative reporter as an informant, there’s little in the way of leads. Suspicions cast a wide web, and the stakes climb when the boy’s sister and their journalist informant also disappear. Still, no one is talking, and every second counts if they hope to find them alive. 
    As sinister secrets are unearthed, Amelia won’t stop until she frees the innocent from the evil that lurks in the shadows of her beloved city. What she discovers hits a little too close to home. Was her brother involved? She needs to know, but some answers are better left unasked. 
    From the dark minds of Mary Stone and Amy Wilson comes Storm’s Peril, book two of the Amelia Storm Series, where you’ll be tempted to peek through the curtains to be sure evil hasn’t chosen you.
