The history of the Earth and that of the Annunaki are intertwined. The ancient Sumerians speak of a race of aliens from the planet Niburu, other tales tell of how a wandering planet collided with a giant planet Tiamat giving rise to the Earth. Other stories relate how the Annunaki created mankind to serve them. In the beginning mankind had no set life-span, and the population could only be controlled by fire, flood, or pestilence. During the final deluge the Annunaki (the Gods) wept at the suffering of mankind and gave man a set lifespan. It was during the great deluge that Ziusundra (Noah) survived on the Ark, a story that lies in the Atra-Hasis, the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible. The tales surrounding the Annunaki are inconsistent, conflicting and endless. This book tells, in ten interlinked stories, from their first visit 14.2 million years ago to the present day, and long into the future, the story of the Annunaki.

The Georgia Secession tells the story, the cunning and devious story, that leads to the State of Georgia declaring secession from the United States. Events follow on from 1809; The Year They Freed the Slaves which concluded with Thomas Jefferson freeing the slaves one year after his presidency ended. The freeing of the slaves created uncertainty and turmoil which was exacerbated by a downturn in the economy. Poor whites struggled as the competed for work. Add to the mix British loyalists who had remained quiet since the Revolutionary War, Tecumseh, the short-lived Republic of West Florida, the 1812 War, the impending defeat of Napoleon, and the New England states pushing for secession, and you have a novel that involves the intrigues of the day at the highest level. The book has been designed to be self-standing and can be read without reading the original.

Get acquainted with the eccentric alien known as the Doctor From his beginnings as a crotchety, anti-heroic scientist in 1963 to his current place in British pop culture as the mad and dangerous monster-fighting savior of the universe, the titular character of Doctor Who has metamorphosed in his 50 years on television. And yet the questions about him remain the same: Who is he? Why does he act the way he does? What motivates him to fight evil across space and time? Series experts, and authors of Who's 50 and Who Is The Doctor, Graeme Burk and Robert Smith? answer all the questions in this guide to television's most beloved time traveler. The Doctors Are In is also a guide to the Doctor himself -- who he is in his myriad forms, how he came to be, how he has changed (within the program itself and behind the scenes)... and why he's a hero to millions.

In his first book, A Dockyard Apprentice's Story, Robert Smith ('Nige' to his mates) told of his formative years as a young trainee in Chatham Dockyard, where he trained as an engine fitter and turner. The Technical Progressman was set in the 1960s, taking up the story from the point where Bob transferred to the Weapons Section as a Technical Progressman. Now Bob has added a third and final part, about his post-Dockyard adventures working with the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE), and in posts with the MoD and Government agencies, and published the whole story in one volume. The full story of his career is packed with interesting stories, and Bob's sense of humour shines through.

Pamlico Sound is one of the most storied bodies of water among North Carolina's Outer Banks. Early colonists to Roanoke Island used it for protection. Blackbeard the pirate was killed there in 1718, and General Washington relied on it for transportation in the Revolutionary War. It wasn't a surprise, then, that the Confederate bastion of Fort Ocracoke was built in those same waters. Said to be capable of mounting fifty guns, the fort was part of the coastal defense system of the state. After Union victories on nearby Hatteras Island, the fort was destroyed and its whereabouts lost for generations. Author Robert K. Smith led an archaeological mission to find the once lost fort and presents the harrowing story of its past and discovery for the first time.

The early 1800's saw the fledgling United States of America making giant strides toward forming a nation. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was under construction in the new capitol of Washington, Thomas Jefferson held the presidency, Lewis and Clark were about to embark on their east to west trek across America "from sea to shining sea," and the United States was embroiled in its first major act as an international player fighting the Barbary pirates on the "Shores of Tripoli,"The British had just outlawed slavery, the slaves of Haiti overthrew their French masters, under the leadership of Toussaint L'Ouverture, the South was in the middle of a religious revival, and the Indians were becoming more united in recognizing the growing threat of the white man. Add to this mix Atende; skilled in the ways of her people. Captured in Africa and transported to America where she is sold into slavery in Savannah. She is the catalyst that leads to Thomas Jefferson freeing the slaves in 1809.(And I know he was only president until 1808 but you will need to read the book to find out )
