`What`s so hard about pulling a sword out of a stone? The real work`s already been done. You ought to make yourself useful and find the man who put the sword in the stone in the stone in the first place.` Fate is a word that springs to the lips when to call something coincidence seems mealy mouthed. Destiny is another such. But the problem with destiny is, of course, that she is not always careful where she points her finger. One minute you might be minding your own business on a normal if not spectacular career path, the next you might be in the frame for the big job, like saving the

"In his latest effort, Pratchett skewers the hard-boiled detective novel as effectively as he`s satired fantasy fiction all these years. Set on Discworld, there are a few more gargoyles and exploding dragons than Sam Spade ever had to deal with. But there`s a trail of corpses and a hero named Carrot determined to track down the killer. His partners-the token dwarf, troll and werewolf on the police force-must overcome discrimination as well as the occasional rampaging orangutan. Although Men at Arms isn`t as consistently funny as his earlier novels, the dialogue is hilarious, and Pratchett`s take on affirmative action is a whole lot of fun. There`s not a lot of rational narrative cause-and-effect here, but it doesn`t really matter. As...

It was called The Devils`s Own: a steep scar in the African earth, around which men toiled with picks, shovels, and dreams of the milky treasures that would become prized, polished diamonds. In this demonic race, native tribesmen became miners. Sometimes they became thieves. And then they became rebels. Zouga Ballantyne, an African-born Englishman, sees the Devil`s Own mine as his ticket to the North: a realm of waterfalls and fertile plains, teeming wildlife, and seeded fields of gold. But what happens in the diamond mines of the fledgling Boer Free State sets the course for Ballantyne and a cast of comrades, enemies, and lovers - and for the continent itself. From the visions of imperialists to the fury between a father and a son, from...

In 1979, a secret unit was established by the US Army. Defying all known military practice - and indeed the laws of physics - they believed that a soldier could adopt a cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls, and, perhaps most chillingly, kill goats just by staring at them. They were the First Earth Battalion. And they really weren`t joking. What`s more, they`re back and fighting the War on terror. So unbelievable it has to be true - this is the real-life account that inspired the film.
