Book Description

Will the past become our future? Is humankind destined to repeat the events that occurred on another planet, far away from Earth? Zecharia Sitchin's bestselling series The Earth Chronicles provided humanity's side of the story-as recorded on ancient clay tablets and other Sumerian artifacts--concerning our origins at the hands of the Anunnaki, "those who from heaven to earth came." In The Lost Book of Enki, we can view this saga from a different perspective through this richly conceived autobiographical account of Lord Enki, an Anunnaki god, who tells the story of these extraterrestrials' arrival on Earth from the 12th planet Nibiru. The object of their colonization: gold to replenish the dying atmosphere of their home planet. Finding this precious metal results in the Anunnaki creation of homo sapiens--the human race--to mine this important resource.

In his previous works, Sitchin compiled the complete story of the Anunnaki's impact on human civilization in peacetime and in war from the fragments scattered throughout Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Hittite, Egyptian, Canaanite, and Hebrew sources--the "myths" of all ancient peoples in the old world as well as the new. Missing from these accounts, however, was the perspective of the Anunnaki themselves. What was life like on their own planet? What motives propelled them to settle on Earth-and what drove them from their new home? Convinced of the existence of a now lost book that formed the basis of ancient Sumerian texts holding the answers to these questions, the author began his search for evidence. Through exhaustive research of primary sources, he has here re-created tales as the memoirs of Enki, the leader of these first "astronauts." What takes shape is the story of a world of mounting tensions, deep rivalries, and sophisticated scientific knowledge that is only today being confirmed. An epic tale of gods and men unfolds, challenging every assumption we hold about our creation, our past, and our future.

5 out of 5 stars Very different from the others books by Stichiin.......2007-05-13

This book is a little bit hard to read because of the unusual English language; this is not at all an everyday English language. The construction of the sentences is the opposite way that it is usually. But anyway, this book is a must! This book is very different from the others. There is a lot of new information.

1 out of 5 stars Extrremely Muddled Thinking.......2007-04-29

The first book in this series sounded so plausible. Reviewers pointed out the fact that he almost never identifies his sources, and many of the sources they could indentify turned out to be wrong, but what the heck, I could live with that. By the second book he's already beginning to write more from imagination than reality, and in the last one he writes an entire "Bible" in the words of his imaginary space guy. I love "true history of the world" kinds of books, but this guy shows a progressively worse lack of regard for logic and reality as he proceeds. For a better read, try The Mayan Prophecies : Unlocking the Secrets of a Lost Civilization

5 out of 5 stars The Lost Book of Enki .......2007-03-09

If you find all the earlier books of Sitchin a hard read this book makes it far easier to understand. Out of all of his works this is the one that I go back to on a regular basis.

3 out of 5 stars Interesting but drags..........2007-01-10

I'm really into Sitchin and his theories so this attracted me. But while interesting as all his stuff is, this is really a dull read. I can only take a few pages at a time.

5 out of 5 stars Incredible.......2007-01-06

It may look like fiction but it is not... I already had this treasure and I bought it for my friend (the yogi). He got addicted to Sitchin books. I'm grateful there is someone in the earth that knows very well Sumerian to translated for all of us and let us know the truth...

El Autor de este libro nos ofrece la historia de nuestros origenes descrita en tablillas de arcilla y otros objetos sumerios y se refiere a los Anunnaki, (auellos que del cielo vinieron) Enki es un Dios Anunnaki, tal vez de procedencia extraterrestre. Segun el autor
que es uno de las pocas personas que leen y entienden el Sumerio. Este libro es muy interesante y lo recomiendo.

    Book Description

    The son of a wealthy Pennsylvania coal mine operator, Nate Tanner resents being shipped off to boarding school. Anger -- mainly at his father and stepmother -- is what gets him there and what prevents him from making friends. Then, in the spring of 1897, it gets him kicked out and sent home. To avoid his family, Nate disappears on his bicycle every day. In this way he meets the breaker boys, who do dangerous, dirty work for his father, separating coal from debris. Nate admires these Polish immigrants, especially Johnny, and longs to become his friend. But the only way is for Nate to hide that he is the boss's son. As Nate and Johnny's friendship marches toward the moment of truth, Nate discovers that the mine workers are plotting a strike. Should he warn his family or protect his friend?

    This fascinating second novel features a hero who is blessed -- or cursed -- with the ability to see both sides of a painful issue and to accept that no one is impartial.

    5 out of 5 stars Compelling and crisply written.......2006-02-16

    "The Breaker Boys" is an adventure into an era of U.S. history about which little is known today. Even people who read a lot of history don't tend to focus on turn-of-the-20th-century society -- much less as seen through the eyes of a young boy. That the author would choose to bring this period to life is quite commendable. The book also delves into the ethnicity of the immigrant "breaker boys," explaining how their families had recently arrived from Europe. The book is a much-needed history lesson.
    That said, it's an exciting, fast read. It has just enough twists of the plot to be believable while not predictable.
    It's so worthwhile for teens to read this kind of book that I called the library and asked the children's librarian to consider purchasing the other two.

    5 out of 5 stars The Breaker Boys rox my sox.......2006-01-16

    I really loved reading the Breaker Boys. Pat Hughes did a wonderful job here, I learned so much aboout the Industrial Revolution and i didn't even relize it. It's a really fun, easy read and ties in perfectlly with what we are learning in history about miners and child labor in the Industrial Revolution. I think if you're considering reading this book you should.

    5 out of 5 stars Definite thumbs up from a history teacher.......2006-01-13

    I assigned The Breaker Boys to my 8th grade history students during a unit on the Industrial Revolution. I wasn't sure how it would be received, but the kids loved it. It's a coming of age story that the kids can relate to, and it's a historical novel that helps them understand life during the Industrial Revolution. We appreciated how the reader gets to see both sides of the story (the coal mine owners' side and the workers' side), rather than having the common assumption reinforced that workers then were just victimized by mine owners. The book was accessible for all of my students, probably because it interested them, and appealing even to my strongest readers. Teachers, give this one a try. You will not be disappointed.

    5 out of 5 stars the age-old struggle of choosing between friends or family.......2004-10-23

    It's 1897, and everyone is happy because summer vacation is close. Well, not everyone. Twelve-year-old Nathan Tanner just got expelled from boarding school because of his temper and bad behavior. He has no friends and doesn't get along well with his family. While riding his bicycle one day, he meets the Breaker Boys, who do dangerous work in the coal mines for his father, a coal mine operator.

    Nathan starts hanging out with the Breaker Boys every day and becomes very good friends with them, especially Johnny. However, Nathan must hide the fact that he's the boss's son. As Johnny and Nathan grow closer, Nathan learns that, because of unfair wages and treatment, some of the mine workers are forming unions and going on strike. Because of this, tensions rise in Nathan's family. Will he take his family's side on the issue and help them, or will he betray them to help his friend?

    In her first novel, GUERRILLA SEASON, Pat Hughes traveled back in time to show readers how different life was because of war, how children's lives were affected by war and why they were forced to become adults so early. THE BREAKER BOYS, which is a fascinating second novel from Hughes, is no different.

    5 out of 5 stars Pat Hughes, author of Guerrilla Season, does it again!!.......2004-09-08

    Loved it!

    Pat Hughes has done it again by putting the reader right in the middle of the action. This writers deft ability to make the characters as well as the setting come to life seems to put the reader right there in coal country. You become one of the family. Not just the wealthy Tanner family, but Johnny's family as well. Johnny's family are poor Polish immigrants who work in the mine that the Tanner family owns. Rich or poor this story is about family, friendship, and the trials and tribulations of a young man. Nate Tanner is angry with his family and befriends the young mine workers known as "The Breaker Boys," especially Johnny. Only Nate has a secret. And when Nate finds that Johnny and the other mine workers are planning a strike against his family, this troubled young man must contemplate whom to side with, his family or his friends.


    I couldn't put it down! Everything from the clomping of the horses hooves pulling the Tanner family Brougham through town, to the conflict at the Lattimer Mines on September 10, 1897, keeps you right in the middle of Pennsylvania coal country ! Another job well done! Thanks Pat Hughes for another riveting novel!

    Book Description

    This novel was one of the first books to draw attention to the condition of black South Africans under a white regime. Abraham's forceful but restrained images of discrimination in the gold mines, the appalling housing, and a country boy's simple and humanitarian act of defiance have struck a chord around the world, making Mine Boy a central influence on South African fiction of over forty years..

    Customer Reviews:

    5 out of 5 stars An Unsung Gem.......2004-04-09

    (...) For me, this book was amazing and much more potent than say Alan Paton's Cry the Beloved Country. In fact, the two do not necessarily warrant comparison except for the fact that Paton's book is the only classic South African novel that is ever considered part of the World Lit canon taught in U.S. schools, which is a damn shame because the African continent--like the others--has produced some spectacular creative works. Some of the other readers have complained of the simplicity of Abraham's language or "cardboard" characters. For me, it's that very simplicity that makes the story such a dramatic tale; it's language that anyone can understand. It's primitive, if you will, or embryonic. As for the characters being underdeveloped, again, I think this adds to the effectiveness of this particular story. Caste systems, apartheid, and other types of sanctioned discrimination force people to come across as stereotypes. When we view our neighbors as "other," we're not seeing them as fully human. So for me, I got what I needed from Mine Boy, which I consider a must read. It put me in a time and place that I would not have experienced otherwise despite the universality of feeling that comes with the hardships of life.

    4 out of 5 stars The first modern novel of black South Africa.......2003-06-11

    Xuma is a black country boy who moves to Johannesburg to look for work in the gold mines. Upon his arrival in town, a strong but kind woman named Leah takes him into her bootlegging household. She introduces him to Eliza, the girl Xuma loves but can't have, and Maisy, the girl he can have but doesn't want. He is given a rude awakening to race relations in the city and witnesses first-hand the brutality of the Johannesburg police force. While Xuma's great strength makes him a successful mine boy, he remains a second-class citizen under the apartheid regime. As the novel closes, Xuma's boss and friend Paddy helps him finally come to the realization that blacks and whites can be brothers after all.

    4 out of 5 stars A Historical Landmark in South African History.......2002-01-14

    I read this book for my course on South African History, and though it may not be very well written (English is Abrahams' second lanugage, and the prose comes off as very stiff), it is nevertheless a landmark acheivement in South African History. At the time when it was published, 1946, no book had been written about racial tension in South Africa, especially fom the eyes of a Black South African. Historically and politically a triumph, this book is as important to South Africa as "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is to the United States.

    4 out of 5 stars The first REAL book about apartheid.......2002-01-12

    Peter Abrahams has certainly written an unsung novel here, which is devastatingly simple (in some places too simple), concentrating on the story of Xuma, a young man who has moved from the North of South Africa (Vrededorp) to the hate-filled apartheid world of Johannesburg. Filling it up with supporting characters which are rather cardboard (the black girl who dreams of being white, the drunken South Africans, the sympathetic white man) does not help, but nonetheless instead of spitefully showing us the huge hate Abrahams may hold for the apartheid system, we instead hear the story of Xuma coping in Jo'burg, with all the horrors being just there in the background. Abrahams does not emerge with a conclusion of black superiority and that whites should leave, but through Xuma, we very clearly see that both races should just get along. For anyone with a serious interest in apartheid, this book is a must!

    5 out of 5 stars One man's story, one nation's destiny.......1999-01-20

    Without coming across as overly bitter or spiteful, Abrahams gives us an unrivaled peek into the oppressive conditions the black man faces living under a white minority regime. The hopes and aspirations of an entire race seem to rest with our hero- Mine Boy. Little did the old guard of the old White South African establishment realize the role this seemingly harmless little book would play in bringing down their carefully constructed appartheid society.

It is descriptive with regards to the actual work and working conditions of breaker boys, as well as having a solid plot and well-developed characters.

    I had never heard of these books until me and my parents went on vacation. I went and bought some books to read while we were driving i bought two of the books series number 7&8. I read those and knew that i had to get the rest of the series and i did as soon as i go tback home i went out and bought all the rest of the books 1-6. I have read all of them and it has only been a couple of days i read like 2 books each night it was great. I love these books so much now i am just waiting for the next one to come out i really can relate to what happens in these books sort of anyway since i quit school it's hard but i still can but i just want everyone to know that these are some awesome books.....YOU SHOULD READ THEM ALL!!Keep up the excellent writing please!

    5 out of 5 stars One of Many Great Books.......2001-02-28

    Once again, the authors of the "Turning Seventeen" have done it again. They managed to write a 6th outstanding book. "This Boy is Mine" was one of my favorites though. This one touches way to close to home for me. Just like them I had a clique of friends and I started having troubles with one of my friends and before I knew it they were all making plans without me. We are all back together now, but those times we were a part were the worst. The reason these books are so good, is b/c I m sure most girls can relate to them. The books make you want to keep reading. Every night when I read one of the books, I have to force myself to stop, otherwards I would end up reading the book in one night. I love these books, and hope they keep making more. The only problem with this and these books, is that they are not long enough.

          Book Description

          When twelve-year-old Danny and six-year-old Judd lose their parents to pnuemonia in 1878, they are orphans. The orphanage headmaster wants to separate the boys and send them to different families, but they only have each other. So they plan an escape. They make their way to Bodie Camp, where their Uncle Hank is panning for gold. They meet Captain O'Hara, Madame Mustache, and a host of other boomtown characters. But when they find Uncle Hank, life with him isn't what Danny had imagined. Then Judd becomes sick, and Danny must decide what he's willing to compromise to have a real family again.

          I enjoyed this book. It brought tears to my eyes at one point. I love readying Kristiana Gregory books.

          5 out of 5 stars Accurate Historical Fiction.......2006-06-12

          I had anticipated a cute historical fiction novel about two brothers, much like the Boxcar Children Series, but instead I was pleasantly surprised to find a greatly researched historical fiction story. Danny and his younger brother Judd leave the orphanage in search of relatives. Because they don't have very much money, Danny opts to go and find their Uncle Hank in California's gold country. Danny carries his pride and keeps he and his brother as well as a twelve year old in the 1880's can. He meets a host of interesting people that add flavor to the history and sense of community that existed in the mining towns. In another part of this well weaved story, Kristina Gregory opts to focus intermittently on the racism that existed in the United States and California during this era. Danny must come to his own conclusion of how other people should be treated. With some help from local people Danny reaches a conclusion that he can ultimately live with. Two nice notes in the book, in the final pages, the author shares some of her research, including a picture of a woman she brings to life in the pages of her tale, a historical map of the area Danny and Judd ultimately call home, and a glossary.
          The book is rated on a reading level of 5, but is written that perhaps some Californian 8th graders might enjoy the story as an addition to their exploration of the United States Western Expansion.

          Danny and Judd are two lonely orphan brothers eager to find parents. They don't remember much about their family but do know some of their aunts and uncles names and whereabouts. One day, when six year old Judd was about to get adopted, Danny and Judd ran around because they did not want to be separated leaving their infant sister, Susanna, with the nuns. After a night of hiding the bought a train ticket to Bodie so they could find their Uncle. When they arrived they roomed with a very kind foster dad named Captain Billy until they could find their uncle. When their uncle arrived with his Chinese girlfriend, Lu-Chen, Danny did not want to leave with him because while he roomed with Captain Billy's other foster kids he met a boy named Smokey Joe who taught him some things. One of the things he was taught was to stay away from Chinese people because they were up to no good. After almost losing his little brother because of an illness, Danny finally accepts Lu-Chen and moves away with them as a family. Orphan Runaways is an excellent read for any child because it teaches to accept people for who they are not their appearance.
          I like the setting in this book. This book takes place in Bodie, CA near the gold mining times. In the time period of when this story takes place, Chinese Americans were not accepted and did not have full civil rights. This is what causes the problem because even though Danny wants a family he also doesn't accept his uncle being with a Chinese girl.
          I also like the moral in this book. The moral is to accept for who they are not their appearance. Even though Lu-Chen was Chinese she was a US citizen because she was born in the US. Danny also found out that Lu-Chen was a very kind and loving person once you got to know her. She taught Danny and the reader not to judge someone by the outside but the inside.
          Lastly I like the resolution in the story. At the end Judd came down with a deadly illness and had to be cared for. Knowing Lu-Chen's culture and that she had lots of natural medicines and herbs Danny took Judd to her. Lu-Chen nursed Judd back to health and Danny suddenly noticed that someone else loved him and Judd as their parents did. Then their uncle got a job offer from his brother causing them to move. So they packed their bags and moved becoming one big happy family. I like this resolution because it was very appropriate for what Danny and Judd had to go through.
          In conclusion I would recommend this book to any child because of the setting, moral, and resolution. These elements not only made the story interesting but teaches lessons used in life. This entire book takes the reader on an adventure and lets them experience what it is like being an orphan. Orphan Runaways is a great read for all children.
