They called their windowless trailer The Toybox. Over the years they lured countless young women into its chamber of unspeakable pain and horror--and filmed every moment. A Satanist, Ray was the center of a web of sadism, sex slavery, and murder. Authorities suspect he murdered more than 60 women. In October 2011, a flood of tips led to a renewed search for the remains of more possible victims. This updated edition reveals all the details, plus the inside story on the controversial movie based on these unforgettable events.

In 1895, a German scientist named Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered the existence of X-rays.

This edition examines how Roentgen used the scientific method to achieve his aims and the applications of his discovery. The book also explains how Roentgens discovery continues to lay the groundwork for new discoveries in astronomy, biology, and more.

The Answers All of Them and No B.S. sounds like a pretty pompous statement, but when you consider it, this book proves that the Bible is the only perfect written composition, consisting of sixty-six books, written by many different men inspired by God, over a period of thousands of years. That proves God is real, using mathematics and fulfilled prophecy; that He is the One Who created heaven and earth; and that there is no such thing as the big bang, which science keeps on trying to sell to everybody (it may be something of an understatement). Not many books offer true, life-changing information as does this one. Open your mind and heart and allow the Lord God Almighty to reveal Himself to you. Become a new person by the power of the blood of Jesus. Go ahead. Open the book. Read it. You'll be glad you did.

Formed from cold steel and superpowered computing brains, these gigantic tanks with the firepower of an entire army have been the decisive factors in interplanetary battle. But are humans worthy of the extraordinary instruments of war that they have created? Are the Worldbreakers the greatest protector of human liberty, or its worst threat? For, while these Worldbreakers very definitely have minds of their own, the question remains: within their iron and superluminal quantum breasts, does there lie a faithful heart? Stories of world breakers and world makers in the great tradition of Keith Laumer’s Bolos from David Weber, Larry Correia, Wen Spencer, and more!

But there are also espionage stories, rescue missions, political conflicts, alternate histories, even a few humorous tales. . . . each author took the premise in a different direction . . . if I had to identify one common feature to all the stories, it would be that they’re all fun. . . . Like it says, big ships blowing things up. What’s not to like?”—Analog
