Thousands of critiques of the Bible have been written, which heap praise on the myths within. This e-book, pulls aside orthodox shrouds to reveal parts of the New Testament (NT) which preachers don't want shown. It does so by quoting,NT passages verbatum.

Autobiographies are most often the domain of the rich and famous. I gained neither, but figured I had an interesting-enough first 22 years - to warrant sharing some of the episodes. From the outside, it would appear white kids brought up in affluent suburbs have all the advantages over kids of color brought up in poverty - but there are precious influences that are more valuable than money.

If just one or two small things had differed, prior to the 1997 hand-over to China, Hong Kong would likely still be a British colony. The book is divvied into three sections: #1. History of HK from 17th century. #2. History of the actual hand-over, and #3. Fictitious account of how things could have differed if Britain's 'Iron Lady' hadn't acted like pewter, and instead stood up to the Chinese.

Subtitle: After Eliminating Humans, Digital Devices Start on the Path to Healing the Planet. The sci-fi story is told by a digital device (DD). DD's didn't need a reason to take-over the planet, but if one were asked, it would say something like; 'To save the natural environment.'

Does the title sound far-fetched? You may not think it so odd when you read how the stories unfold within the e-book.

Besides mastodons battling on Mars, there are role-reversal scenarios involving dogs, horses and pigs.
