Howards End – Enhanced E-Book Edition (Illustrated and Annotated. Includes Author Bio, Image Gallery + Audio Links)
By E. M. Forster / Genre: British & Irish, Literary Fiction / Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars (186 reviews)
Considered by many to be E. M. Forster’s greatest novel, ‘Howards End,’ is a beautifully woven tale of two very different families brought together by an unusual event. The Schlegels are intellectuals, devotees of art and literature. The Wilcoxes are practical and materialistic, leading lives of “telegrams and anger.” When the elder Mrs. Wilcox dies and her family discovers she has left their country home—Howards End—to one of the Schlegel sisters, a crisis between the two families is precipitated that takes years to resolve. Symbolically, the house brings together three important elements in English society: money and power in the Wilcoxes, culture in the Schlegels and the lower classes as represented by the character of Leonard Bast.
Written in 1910, ‘Howards End,’ is a trenchant exploration of the social, economic, and intellectual forces at work in England in the years preceding World War I, a time when vast social changes were occurring. In the Schlegels and the Wilcoxes, Forster perfectly embodies the competing idealism and materialism of the upper classes, while the conflict over the ownership of ‘Howards End’ represents the struggle for possession of the country’s future. As critic Lionel Trilling once noted, the novel asks, “Who shall inherit England?”
Forster refuses to take sides in this conflict. Instead he poses one of the book’s central questions: In a changing modern society, what should be the relation between the inner and outer life, between the world of the intellect and the world of business? Can they ever, as Forster urges, “only connect”?
This enhanced edition of Forster’s classic novel has been fully annotated optimized for the Kindle. It includes an image gallery, author biography and links to free unabridged audio recordings of ‘Howards End.’

Intervention: A Science Fiction Adventure
By J.W. Huemme / Genre: Adventure, Science Fiction / Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars (61 reviews)
Over population, global warming and food shortages have caused the American government to devise a plan that only allows for the survival of 7% of the world’s population—the handpicked elite. Among this group is Christopher Adams.
Christopher grows up with kind and loving parents who are devoted to each other. His father is an insurance salesman and his mother is a stay-at-home mom. Just your average hard-working American couple…who just happen to raise an extraordinary son.
At 12, Christopher is accepted to MIT, and by the age of 21, he is recruited by the CIA. Solving puzzles and decrypting codes come very easily to Christopher. His mind is so advanced, it almost seems as if he is from another world.
When Christopher finds out about the governments plan, Operation Down-size, he is horrified by the thought of billions of innocent lives being sacrificed to save the elite 7%. He knows he must stop Operation Down-size, but the puzzle is how?
Cindy, an astronaut and a member of the 7%, joins in Christopher’s quest. Thankfully, they have help: an alien spacecraft, equipped with a highly advanced artificial intelligence created by a highly advanced alien race.
Thousands of years ago, a highly advanced alien race on a mission of exploration discovered Earth. They could see, even at this early stage of development, that the human race was advancing its technology faster than it was maturing in compassion and wisdom—a combination that would one day lead to disaster. The aliens decide to intervene by implanting an altered gene code into several of the primitive females that would be passed down from one generation to the next for activation at a later time. The spacecraft was left hidden until the time was right to intervene further in order to save humans from themselves. That time has come.
Together, Christopher and Cindy, utilizing the spacecraft’s advanced technologies, seek to save the world and dismantle Operation Down-size. One question remains: Can they do it in time?
