Synopsis Deadly Plot by : Lu XiaoChuan

A "meticulously planned murder plot," a conspiracy that spanned tens of years! From the moment a famous actress' nude 'died in the hotel, a splendid revenge' assassination 'was quietly unveiled! A police officer who was expelled from the police force, a police officer who was in active service but had a dishonorable past, and a retired spy who was both righteous and evil but could not differentiate between the two, met each other on the killing stage. Truth, evil, lies, deceit. Where would one find the light of justice in this place filled with unknown dangers? With a single thought, he would become the Great Wisdom, and with a single thought, he would become the Great Wisdom. Everything was for nothing.

Synopsis Custer's Road to Disaster by : Kevin Sullivan

The death of George Armstrong Custer ended the life of one of the most flamboyant, brave, careless, and fascinating characters to ever wear a United States military uniform. His dramatic rise during the Civil War to the brevet rank of brigadier general at twenty-three, and his uncanny ability to stay alive regardless of how recklessly he flung himself at the enemy, gave rise to his image as an almost mythical figure. His life was filled with such good fortune that the term “Custer’s Luck” was used to refer to an unusually fortuitous event. Road to Disaster examines Custer’s unusual mental and emotional make-up, which played out in his military career, his relationship with his wife, and in the death he and many of his men found at the end of their march into Montana. A clearer picture of the man appears, providing answers as to why military success followed him to the top of his career, and why the Battle of the Little Bighorn became such a shocking disaster in the summer of 1876.

Synopsis Calvin: Institutes of the Christian Religion by : John Calvin

This is the definitive English-language edition of one of the monumental works of the Christian church. All previous editions--in Latin, French, German, and English--have been collated; references and notes have been verified, corrected, and expanded; and new bibliographies have been added.The translation preserves the rugged strength and vividness of Calvin's writing, but also conforms to modern English and renders heavy theological terms in simple language. The result is a translation that achieves a high degree of accuracy and at the same time is eminently readable. Long recognized for the quality of its translations, introductions, explanatory notes, and indexes, the Library of Christian Classics provides scholars and students with modern English translations of some of the most significant Christian theological texts in history. Through these works--each written prior to the end of the sixteenth century--contemporary readers are able to engage the ideas that have shaped Christian theology and the church through the centuries.
