1. The Galleys of Mhurga

Jostled from sleep by the bang of a fist against the beechwood oar that pillowed his head, Haldeth started upright, muscles tensed reflexively. But the command he expected never came; no guttural shout followed to transform the night into a misery of hardship, rowing against endless ranks of sea swells. By the dim fall of moonlight through the aft oar ports, Haldeth surveyed the lower deck of the galley Nallga. Every slave remained hunched and still over his loom, but one. The blow which roused him had not arisen from his Mhurgai masters, but from his own benchmate, in a useless fit of rage.

Annoyed himself, Haldeth forgot tact. “Mind your temper!” he whispered urgently.

Book Reviews: MLK and Halloween

“Hellhound on his Trail: The Stalking of Martin Luther King Jr. and the International Hunt for his Assassin” 

by Hampton Sides

Doubleday, 2010, 459 pages

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., worn out and tired, saw his peaceful march in February 1968 in support of the sanitation workers in Memphis, Tenn., turn violent. He hoped his return to Memphis in April would not end the same way. James Earl Ray did not escape from Missouri State Prison in 1967 with the intention of killing King, yet little more than a year later he would be the subject of an international manhunt for that murder. How did the lives of these two men cross to culminate in the last American tragedy of the tumultuous 1960s? Hampton Sides writes an account that reads like a fictional best-seller, holding you to the end.
