Please read summary for Rapes of Passage (Parts 1/2) Part 3 segues from surrealist writing into the history of classical rapes and points up our acceptance of rape as Art. Then the story changes into a manifesto asking why no public memorials have been built to the victims or rape especially in war time, known and unknown, as have been for the war dead. And on into the appalling tragedy of the actual statistics for rape world wide. The rapes are increasing so rapidly that much of my research is outdated. And much, as in the Sudan and most of the world, not even reported. Any suggestions for, or thoughts on raising such memorials to the raped, or ideas for improving the website under construction will be appreciated. Also of course any constructive nitpicks (typos, grammatical errors, etc.) in the story itself.

Summary:

A great secret is revealed when an assassin tries to kill eighteen-year-old Gabriel Adam; Gabriel is one of four Archangels, born into human form to prevent beginning of the End of Days. Now, he must leave behind the normal life he's known to fulfill a prophecy kept secret for centuries by a clandestine group. Thus begins The Secret of Gabriel Adam, a 75,000 word commercial fiction. Sixteen hundred years ago, the Roman Empire declared the prophetic book, The Apocalypse of Solomon to be heretical and banned it from Biblical canon. With every copy destroyed, the prophecy and all the knowledge it contained to endure the apocalypse was lost. However, one copy survived and now resides in England. With the assassin still in pursuit, Gabriel and his zealous father must travel to England in hopes that the book will guide them. Joined there by Micah - a beautiful Archangel girl - Gabriel must uncover a faith in himself he didn’t know existed before a metaphysical transformation can unlock the power that dwells inside him. But with only two under-trained Archangels and the other two missing or dead, the only hope at stopping the assassin and the End of Days is a weapon hidden inside the Ark of the Covenant somewhere in Aksum, Ethiopia.

My first crack at Science Fiction. However, it is written, step by step, to appear completely logical with no aliens, monsters, apparitions, etc. Since it concerns time travel, I've been advised that it would definitely be set in the Science Fiction genre. Check out the tags for the variety in the plotting.

Summary:

Most historians list Princess Noor Inayat Khan as one of the most intriguing heroines of the Twentieth Century and rank her up near the top along with Mata Hari. She was born inside the Kremlin during 1914 and evolved from infancy into an emotional, naive, careless and beautiful young woman ... hardly the attributes of a future spy. This novel is based upon true events during the years 1914-1944. While being brought up in France, Princess Noor clandestinely falls in love with Paulo. He is torn from her arms after being drafted, during 1935, into the Italian army to fight in Ethiopia and she spends the next eight years trying to discover his whereabouts while he is constantly sent to other danger zones in North Africa, Spain and Russia.
