Lauren Grayson went looking for Bigfoot, UFOs, and even pirates. But now, evil forces will use any means to destroy her. Dr. Lauren Grayson is determined to see the voodoo priest, Papa Dauphine, brought to justice for the attempted murder of Rowan, her husband and co-host of The Veritas Codex television show. But Dauphine aligns himself with Lauren's mortal enemy, Enlil, creating an overpowering alliance. As he gathers his forces, Enlil seems poised to topple the great peace accord. With his pawns in the Middle East, Enlil’s forces use Rowan to find an ancient weapon that could destroy not only the accord but the entire world—or give Enlil the power to control it. Isolated from her husband, Lauren works to protect her family as dark forces close in. But she also finds unlikely allies. The more she investigates, the more she becomes convinced that although Enlil wants the world, he first wants what is most precious to her—Rowan. And he will stop at nothing until Rowan has been eliminated. Can Lauren defeat a god, prevent him from gaining control of an ancient weapon of apocalyptic power, and save her husband? Is love enough to prevent the collapse of the greatest peace accord ever brokered? And if peace fails, can chaos be far behind? Uncover the truth in The King’s Ransom!

Lauren Grayson has investigated Bigfoot, the Mayan apocalypse, even UFOs. But she never expected to find herself at the mercy of pirates… When the Oceanic Channel's newest research vessel, the Explorer of the Deep, goes missing on its maiden voyage to the Bermuda Triangle, television investigator Dr. Lauren Grayson and the Veritas Codex Crew are asked to investigate. Paired with oceanographer Trevor Thorpe and his crew from sister-show Expedition: Nautilus, they set off to find the network’s missing million-dollar ship. Soon after they embark, a mysterious storm descends and the Nautilus is fired upon by what appears to be a seventeenth-century pirate ship. Lauren is taken prisoner by the infamous Captain James "Jackdaw" Childers—who looks disturbingly like her husband. But there couldn't be any connection between this wicked monster and her husband. Right? Lauren learns that the ship and its crew have been damned by powerful forces that blame Childers for the abduction of a beloved mermaid—and want revenge. Can Lauren survive the pirate's curse? Or will she be lost in the Bermuda Triangle forever? “In the sixth book of the Veritas Codex series, The Pirates Curse, author Betsey Kulakowski takes her readers and her characters to times and places they have never been before. The perils of time travel have never been so vivid or fraught with consequences. Even the nicest gods have a limited amount of patience with humans infringing in their domain, and the other kind can be downright nasty. Find a safe place to cuddle up and read this fascinating and frightening adventure. I might even suggest a cup of hot tea to complete the experience— with or without brandy.” Rick Ludwig, author of Eyes of the Beholder “The Pirate’s Curse is a thoroughly enjoyable addition to the Veritas Code series. I have enjoyed reading each book in the series, and the author does a wonderful job of building on previous stories without the repetitive retelling of the series’ story arcs. Lauren and Rowan Pierce’s family continues to grow, and with it, each member plays a part in their next adventure. And if you like pirate stories, this is a nice one with plenty of twists and turns, plus the protagonists must take significant risks to come back together as a family—great story, a great author, and highly recommended. I’m looking forward to the next.” Mark Edward Jones, author of Peculiar Activities and Shadowed Souls

Emil Schürer's Geschichte des judischen Volkes im Zeitalter Jesu Christi, originally published in German between 1874 and 1909 and in English between 1885 and 1891, is a critical presentation of Jewish history, institutions, and literature from 175 B.C. to A.D. 135. It has rendered invaluable services to scholars for nearly a century. The present work offers a fresh translation and a revision of the entire subject-matter. The bibliographies have been rejuvenated and supplemented; the sources are presented according to the latest scholarly editions; and all the new archaeological, epigraphical, numismatic and literary evidence, including the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Bar Kokhba documents, has been introduced into the survey. Account has also been taken of the progress in historical research, both in the classical and Jewish fields. This work reminds students of the profound debt owed to nineteenth-century learning, setting it within a wider framework of contemporary knowledge, and provides a foundation on which future historians of Judaism in the age of Jesus may build.
