This book, in two volumes, contains the first English translation, with introduction and annotation, of the História da Etiópia by the Spanish Jesuit missionary priest Pedro Páez, 1564-1622, who worked in the Portuguese missions, first in India and then in Ethiopia, long thought to be the kingdom of the legendary Prester John. Paez's learned but often polemical work is a major contribution to the political, social, cultural and religious history of Ethiopia in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and to the history of early Portuguese and Spanish missions in Africa and India, and West European attempts to come to terms with non-European cultures.

Burner is the study-in-motion of Isaac BenGurian, a cerebral, tortured man to whom both Socrates and Attila the Hun would offer a respectful nod. His grasp of the physical sciences, computer technology, and literature is unparalleled. But these "tricks of the mind" do not nourish his pride, nor do they define him with any degree of accuracy. To know him, one must look to the nightmare of his personal history, and to the leisure-time pursuit for which he has developed a considerable passion: Isaac roots out modern-day "monsters"-sociopaths who are above the law in every practical sense, men who rejoice in the abuse of their power-and revels in the simple joy of dispatching them. Attention to detail has always placed him beyond the reach of the law. But Isaac has just made the costly mistake of compassion, and his error has left a trail that is being followed by the crime family of his latest victim. And another, far more adept, tracker has taken up the trail: An "artificial intelligence" program, developed by a humble Princeton scientist and funded by the US government, has been assigned to find him, and its analytical abilities far surpass his own.

The author describes Nestling as the deviant's duplicity of which he infiltrates himself into the life of a single mother in order to get access to the child Set in the Southern US. A month before the Korean War, in a land still grrieving from World War. the story is focused around the violation of Emma, a white juvenile by her stepfather, whilst the blame is placed on a young Negro boy Jordan. The inate racism of the old south, reinforced by the Ku-Klux-Klan, means that young Jordan is in for a sticky time, while the real culprit is protected by the good ol' boys of the town, who would prefer to hunt a young black than admit that one of their own could be that depraved. "War makes widows and abuse makes abusers, two heartaches that combine to make 'Nestling' a damn good read"
