Cygnus regained consciousness, the sole survivor of flight 1726, somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.
His predicament would lead to an epic adventure as he navigates treacherous seas and unknown shores. Cygnus is marooned on an unknown island populated by a contemptuous race of horses that enslaves a tribe of feral humans. A draconian decision leads to fantastic encounters with the immortals of Loogenage, the sorcerers and necromancers of Glubdubdrib, the anti-intellectuals of Balnibarbi, the giants of Brobadingog, and the tiny emulous nations of Blafuescho, Sinrovia, and Lilliput. His diverse experiences gift him with enlightenment and culminate in a heart-wrenching conclusion.
On Swift Wings is a modern satirical fantasy adventure that lampoons contemporary life and dogma in a wonderfully sardonic allegorical style. Swathed in stunningly painted worlds, it is a study of current society that contains within it both the truth and hope that we so desperately need.

No one is better equipped in the struggle for wealth and worldly success than the alluring and ruthless Becky Sharp, who defies her impoverished background to clamber up the class ladder. Her sentimental companion Amelia, however, longs only for caddish soldier George. As the two heroines make their way through the tawdry glamour of Regency society, battles - military and domestic - are fought, fortunes made and lost. The one steadfast and honourable figure in this corrupt world is Dobbin with his devotion to Amelia, bringing pathos and depth to Thackeray's gloriously satirical epic of love and social adventure.

An MD as outrageous as your doctor's bill
Ernie Spiegelglass gets high, gets involved, and is about to complete his residency ... he hopes.
Brash, brilliant, and often profane, Ernie (alias Doc Sparrowgrass) enters the world of a San Francisco clinic and turns the entire place upside down with his riotous romances and his own unique style-which includes treating patients like people. The medical establishment is turned off to his idea of medicine-from the heart, not by the book-but Ernie can't turn his back on anyone who comes to him for help, even if it means jeopardizing his career.
Dr. Grass is a funny, honest, poignant book about a refugee from the 1960's growing up and not selling out in the 1970's.
From Rio to Oostend to Amsterdam and beyond, a troupe of acrobats travel the world performing miracles in the air and enthralling audiences. In between gigs they drink, they play and taunt each other. They get bored. They get up to no good. And then they jump on a plane to it all again somewhere else. Sideshow is a funny and rollicking take on the thrill and drudgery of a life on the road and on what it takes to perform day after day after day.
This amusing musical story is set on a farm where potatoes passionately discuss the meaning of life and death through chorus. The green potato is ostracised from the community for boldly standing against the wide held belief that their life is predestined and that death in service of nourishing humans is to be celebrated and welcome. Although the green potato manages to defy the self-sacrifice rule, will he succeed to completely evade fate within the food chain? This Ethiopian allegorical story is a social satire for young people's unwavering belief and reckless behaviour.
