Arizona lottery winners are captured by a technologically advanced society of antelopes after surviving a plane crash on a remote mountain top in Venezuela. Captivity forces the humans to confront their own religious, sexual, nationalistic, and racial prejudices, which are reflected back at them by Antelope society. Antelopes is a black comedy and satire in the spirit of Gulliver’s Travels, illustrated and muddied by quotes from our greatest thinkers, punctuated by two trials in the spirit of Kafka, an unlucky accident, a war of the Antelopes, and a bizarre escape.

From the inimitable Martin Rowson, a modern illustrated retelling of Swift's classic, Gulliver's Travels. On 5 November 1699, the Merchant Ship Antelope foundered on a rock at the Latitude of 30 degrees 2 minutes south. The only survivor of the crew was the ship's physician, Lemuel Gulliver, who some hours later awoke, bound by hundreds of tiny ropes, lying on a beach in the Empire of Lilliput. On 31 August 1997, Gulliver's direct (although unwitting) descendent was being driven back from a conference in Paris when, travelling through an underpass, his vehicle was struck with great force from behind. Rendered unconscious, he was next aware of being thrown from a helicopter into a shallow sea. On awaking next morning, he found himself bound by hundreds of tiny ropes, lying on a beach and surrounded by tiny figures welcoming him to...a modern Lilliput. This is only the beginning of his adventures, as he finds himself, quite by chance, visiting the same places as his famous forebear, only three centuries later. Thus the Modern Gulliver learns how history has unfolded for the Lilliputians, discovering the secrets of the 'New' Lilliput's economic boom and accidentally precipitating its crash. He finds out how the giants of Brobdingnag were inspired to transform their way of life by his ancestor's example, impressed by their encounter with one of 'the most pernicious Race of little odious vermin that Nature ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the Earth'.

Two backpacking curmudgeons, a crotchety Brit and an ancient American, attempt to smuggle priceless world heritage antiquities to safety and save their own skins from ISIS. They outwit themselves at every turn, saved by a Yazidi Joan of Arc in a black comedy and satire on religion and nationalism that puts the fun back in fundamentalism. The ISIS Affair was inspired by the most widely read article in the history of the Atlantic Monthly in March 2015, “What ISIS Really Wants”, by Graeme Wood. Thanks for the inspiration, Graeme.

See the whole world dirt cheap, up close, and in the most comfortable way possible, by RV. The author and his wife spent seventeen-years on a journey that took them through 170 countries with a few colorful scrapes along the way, from being held hostage for a garage bill in Serbia, blocked by burning tires in Ecuador, and surrounded by voracious saltwater crocs in Oz. RV the World explains exactly how to see and do it all (becoming a hostage isn’t easy), what they saw along the way, what it costs to live and travel in an RV internationally, buying and selling an RV in a foreign country, staying healthy abroad, camping for free, and much, much more. Part practical guide, part adventure, RV the World takes the reader on an in depth tour of Europe, Scandinavia, North Africa, and the Middle East, highlighting fantastic cities, national parks, antiquities, and hiking spots along the way, and as a bonus, how to finagle your way out of a hostage situation.

Have you wondered how it’d be like to dump the rat race to sail around the world? Here’s how that worked out for the author, a gripping, constantly on-the-edge-of-disaster sailing adventure punctuated by the unique and wacky characters from the worldwide cruising community, all with the same wild and crazy dream. “My 35-foot Erickson sloop Grendel was sinking in the Pacific Ocean. I’d bragged about sailing around the world, but two hours after I began, it was a disaster. I was slip-sliding around Grendel, searching for leaks, enveloped in an eerie blanket of fog with zero visibility, surrounded by invisible hazards. Glub, glub.” So, it didn’t go exactly as planned, a reality like nothing you could envision, a comedy of errors on land and at sea. An absurdly true story and prequel to RV the World.

Scribes of the Tribes illustrates how never before in the history of humankind has there been a greater need for the essential wisdom of ethics. Our political and religious leaders have failed us, and the world is spinning out of control, with despotism on the rise in Europe and North America, continuous wars in the Middle East and Africa, and periodic nuclear standoffs between Pakistan and India. We have too many people, fighting over fewer and fewer resources. Self-interest and greed have hobbled our ability to deal with chronic world problems, such as climate change and overpopulation, that all but ensure our demise if left unchecked. We are afraid for our children and grandchildren. Where do we turn for moral guidance? We turn to this Scribes of the Tribe. For centuries, the world’s greatest minds and most original thinkers have been asking themselves the very same questions that confound us today: In short, how to live a good life. Scribes of the Tribe is a compilation of quotes by everyone from Aristotle to Gandhi and more, interwoven with commentary by the author and a Catholic lay brother. The book is an invitation to contemplate and refine one’s own beliefs in the company of the greatest minds the world has ever known. Open Scribes of the Tribe at random and browse to discover useful knowledge, stimulating ideas, opportunity for reflection, and often, outright hilarity. Scribes answers the Big Questions while exploring the root of humanity’s deepest anxieties and fears. It is a book you can turn to on a daily basis, as well as in dark moments.
