How many people assaulted on foreign soil know that there s no law in their country to protect them? Holiday in Hell is a true story tragedy, drama, and relentless suspense chronicling years of the author s life, from blind naivete to harsh reality. A brutal assault in 1999 on an exotic island cannot be charged! And then an ensuing legal clash: Cuba is reluctant to charge the assailant. He s not Cuban, and ironically, the Canadian police refuse arresting him at the airport when he enters Canada. The television broadcasts the despicable crime, and the newspapers cover the legal complications, evoking public outrage, which in turn initiates a petition aimed at amending the relevant law before the House of Commons. The petition fails. In a true sense, the hard-hitting legal aftermath becomes the real crime, since according to the Canadian Criminal Code, the Canadian justice system cannot charge a Canadian for a crime committed outside the border of the country. There are many riveting courtroom dramas, and the case becomes precedent-setting in the Supreme Court of Canada; however, the crime is only charged due to a parole violation another violent assault. The actual crime is never punished. Holiday in Hell serves as a wake-up call to all travelers of the ramifications for victims of assaults (domestic or otherwise) in foreign countries. However, the book conveys hope that outdated laws can be amended. Holiday in Hell is a true-life story of courage, faith, love, and determination.

Against the backdrop of wartime Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, Payback for Revenge is a literary suspense saga of a passionate love affair, the murder of a young girl, and the horror of an international prostitution slave ring. When a journalist, Chantal, leaves her opulent environment in New York to help her lover, Jovan, hunt down the murderers of his daughter, the couple enters a dark and dangerous world of war and crime. In reality, more than 300,000 Eastern European girls are smuggled to the West every year, doomed to the worst type of slavery and short, painful lives, to satisfy the insatiable appetites of rich countries for sex. Payback for Revenge tells the story of the workings of the biggest hub through which the girls are supplied, while the so-called "civilized world" looks the other way.

Action & Adventure

The major goal of this book is to familiarize both fellow historians and a wider audience with the international treaties that regulated the status and boundaries of the Georgian Democratic Republic throughout the period between the fall of the Russian Empire and the creation of the Soviet Union. This book also covers the most important political events, conflicts and wars that were taking place during the specified period both in Georgia as well as in the rest of the Eastern Mediterranean. It also includes brief excursions into the history and ethnography of a number of the territories which were disputed at the time of preparation and conclusion of the aforementioned treaties (some of those territories have been still disputed). This book may also serve as a key to the resolution of contemporary conflicts which threaten the stability of Georgia and the South Caucasus in general.
