A group of archaeologists, sifting through burial mounds in Saudi Arabia, make a discovery that threatens to tear the Middle East apart. As the ripples of greed, intrigue and murder extend outwards to engulf the rest of the world the polyglot team of diggers vanish behind a curtain of lies and double-cross. Jackie Ryderbeit is pitched into the maelstrom in an effort to quell the rising storm. The fate of the archaeologists slowly becomes apparent, which only serves to lead Ryderbeit further and further away from the truth. Friend becomes enemy, and enemy becomes friend, as the story unfolds beneath the white-hot sun. But truth is always stranger than fiction, as Ryderbeit discovers to his cost.
Treachery and double-cross are the hallmarks of the mercenary soldier. Because, who is the real enemy? Is he the man in your cross-hairs, or the friend alongside you? Or is it the man who pays your wages? Martin Palmer knows that a potentially fatal bullet might come from any direction. And yet he must fight, because fighting is all he knows. This deadly challenge will test him to the limits of his endurance. He knows there will always be another paymaster with high aspirations, and enough money to pursue them...and money, of course, is the mercenary soldier's creed
April 1942 In Europe, the Germans are still totally unaware that the allies have broken the complicated ENIGMA code, whilst in the Far East theatre, where the Japanese are using their own version of the ENIGMA code, an intercepted communication leads Brigadier Donald Reisman, head of British Intelligence in Calcutta, to the damning conclusion that the war’s most closely guarded secret is no longer secure. Can he afford to test his theory when, to do so, he must open Pandora’s box? And can he afford not to? One way or the other he must act - and quickly! Lives are at stake. Future campaigns are at stake. For without the ENIGMA secret the already hard- pressed allied armies are in danger of being swept further and further westward. Reisman’s eventual decision leads his team back into Japanese occupied Burma in an effort to free from a prison camp the one man who can answer the burning question.
“Do it now!“ said Khan, his voice little more than a whisper. Nash connected the battery terminals. The green light glowed dully. He threw a switch and the light turned to red. Mouthing a silent prayer he pushed the button. The red light went out. No smoke or flames were visible but the sound of the distant explosions rumbled over the land scape like the approach of doom. Nash slid his right hand under his jacket and grasped his gun. Khan was talking excitedly, oblivious to what must happen next. Greed, intrigue and triple-cross; the component parts of disaster. Gilby Nash, demolition expert extraordinary, reaches for a glittering prize on a sun-soaked island where the bullet and the knife are never far away. Greed, intrigue and triple-cross, the component parts of disaster, follow him like a spectre.
A compelling look at the Fatimid caliphate's robust culture of documentation The lost archive of the Fatimid caliphate (909–1171) survived in an unexpected place: the storage room, or geniza, of a synagogue in Cairo, recycled as scrap paper and deposited there by medieval Jews. Marina Rustow tells the story of this extraordinary find, inviting us to reconsider the longstanding but mistaken consensus that before 1500 the dynasties of the Islamic Middle East produced few documents, and preserved even fewer. Beginning with government documents before the Fatimids and paper’s westward spread across Asia, Rustow reveals a millennial tradition of state record keeping whose very continuities suggest the strength of Middle Eastern institutions, not their weakness. Tracing the complex routes by which Arabic documents made their way from Fatimid palace officials to Jewish scribes, the book provides a rare window onto a robust culture of documentation and archiving not only comparable to that of medieval Europe, but, in many cases, surpassing it. Above all, Rustow argues that the problem of archives in the medieval Middle East lies not with the region’s administrative culture, but with our failure to understand preindustrial documentary ecology. Illustrated with stunning examples from the Cairo Geniza, this compelling book advances our understanding of documents as physical artifacts, showing how the records of the Fatimid caliphate, once recovered, deciphered, and studied, can help change our thinking about the medieval Islamicate world and about premodern polities more broadly.
It shall also be of interest among scholars researching Oriental Christianity and Greek epigraphy."--BOOK JACKET.
This book presents a true language acquisition curriculum for the Nobiin language, an endangered Nile-Nubian language spoken in South Egypt and North Sudan. The book is part of a series for Nobiin language acquisition called "Nobiinga-Kullan." This elementary book introduces the orthography for writing Nobiin, basic description for phonology and phonetics, basic grammar lessons, and the basic vocabulary needed for communications. This book is also designed to present a standardized form of Nobiin grammar for easy learnability purposes. In addition, this book is accompanied by audio recordings that provide the needed listening practices. The main goal is to create a systematic method that helps language learners develop the four skills: writing, reading, speaking, and listening. In addition, I present this book to linguists and other scholars in Nubian studies.
The establishment of Kushite rule over Egypt during the eighth and seventh centuries BC resulted in a state of extraordinary geographic dimensions and ecological diversity, stretching from the tropics of Sudanese Nubia over 3,000 km to the Mediterranean. In The Double Kingdom under Taharqo, Jeremy Pope uses the copious documentary and archaeological evidence from Taharqo’s reign to address a series of questions which have dogged study of the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty: how was it possible for one king to control all of that territory? To what extent were the Kushite pharaohs’ strategies of governance influenced by the circumstances of their homeland versus the precedents of Egyptian and Libyan rule? And how did Kushite policies differ from those of their Saïte successors? "Bringing to bear an impressive mastery of the sources and refreshingly open to anthropological and comparative approaches, Jeremy Pope's study is welcome in providing a close and careful analysis of varied sources, both historical and archaeological."
