The monstrous shark came up also, floating on its back, its belly ripped from head to tail and its insides streaming out." Just when life at the Sanctuary Mission is settling down, the treacherous Marvin Baggs shows up during a church service. Instantly, fears and worries erupt as Baggs taunts the old team into an adventure full of danger, mystery, and even love. The mission begins with the rescue of an orphanage in China and a daring rescue that will leave a team member behind. Who will survive against the forces of evil, and who is the Loony Man? Join Reverend Alabaster Armstrong as he embarks on another globe-trotting adventure, searching for Marvin Baggs, and battling the dangerous effects of the poison that still plagues his body. All will be revealed in the third installment, "The Search for the Loony Man," by Claude Keenam.

With its unparalleled coverage of English slang of all types (from 18th-century cant to contemporary gay slang), and its uncluttered editorial apparatus, Cassell's Dictionary of Slang was warmly received when its first edition appeared in 1998. 'Brilliant.' said Mark Lawson on BBC2's The Late Review; 'This is a terrific piece of work - learned, entertaining, funny, stimulating' said Jonathan Meades in The Evening Standard.But now the world's best single-volume dictionary of English slang is about to get even better. Jonathon Green has spent the last seven years on a vast project: to research in depth the English slang vocabulary and to hunt down and record written instances of the use of as many slang words as possible. This has entailed trawling through more than 4000 books - plus song lyrics, TV and movie scripts, and many newspapers and magazines - for relevant material.

The collection consists of twenty-five stories that are mostly based upon real facts that happened in Georgia in the 20th and 21st centuries and represent our customs and traditions. I think the characters and subjects of the stories will be interesting for foreign readers. Anyone interested in literature can read the book and no matter whether hes 13 or very, very old. The collection is a mixture of philosophy and mysticism. Love and hatred, treachery and devotion, consideration and indifference are the things that people are mostly inclined to think about and the author is not an exception. All the characters have something in common with the author and are prototypes of the people famous for the so-called Rose Revolution. But there can be no revolution without changes in ones mind.
