If you want more than mere existence, The Door of Everything offers a chance to peek behind the curtains of your own mind. It opens doors to new understandings of life and spirituality. For only through personal grown like this can one rise beyond the mundane to a life full of richness and fulfillment.

The fugitive was Cape Sloan (or so he called himself), late of Yuma Penitentiary. He was young, but tough as rawhide, reckless as a plains-bred mustang. And he'd sworn a bloody revenge on the ruthless killers who shot down his father, robbed his mother, and sent him to jail on a framed-up murder charge.The law was after him, and a pair of gun-toting rattlesnakes tried to get him by every means from lynching to ambush. But Sloan hung on like grim death to get the evidence that would clear his name. He had friends, and a girl who loved him, but when the chips were down, it was six-gun lead that won him justice!

One of a genre at the time, the novel is examines the changing nature of English society in the interwar period. The style and subject matter is comparable to the works of Evelyn Waugh, his contemporary, and earlier writers such as P.G.Wodehouse and Jerome K. Jerome. It is also known for its portrayal of traditional village cricket.The novel won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction in 1933.Set in 1920s England, the book is written as if a travel memoir by a young Scotsman who had been invalided away from the Western Front, "Donald Cameron," whose father's will forces him to reside in England. There he writes for a series of London newspapers before being commissioned by a Welshman to write a book about the English from the view of a foreigner. Taking to the country and provincial cities, Donald spends his time carrying out research for a book on the English by consorting with journalists and minor poets, attending a country house weekend, serving as private secretary to a Member of Parliament, attending the League of Nations, and playing village cricket. The village cricket match is the most celebrated episode in the novel, and a reason cited for its enduring appeal. A key character is Mr Hodge; a caricature of Sir John Squire (poet and editor of the London Mercury) while the cricket team described in the book's most famous chapter is a representation of Sir John's Cricket Club -- the Invalids -- which survives today.

Dominic Flandry is the central character in the second half of Poul Anderson's "Technic History" series. He first appeared in 1951.The space opera series is set in the thirty-first century, during the waning days of the Terran Empire. Flandry is a dashing field agent of the Imperial Intelligence Corps who travels the stars to fight off imminent threats to the empire from both external enemies and internal treachery. His long-time archenemy is Aycharaych, from the planet Chereion, a cultured but ruthless telepathic spymaster who weaves plots for the expansionistic rival empire of the alien Merseians. Similar to the James Bond stories (which started two years later), every new adventure brings Flandry another beautiful damsel to woo and rescue.The illegitimate son of a minor nobleman, Flandry rises to considerable power within the decadent Empire by his own wits, and enjoys all the pleasures his position in society gives him. Still, he is painfully conscious of the impending fall of the Terran Empire and the subsequent "Long Night" of a galactic Dark Age. His career is dedicated to holding it off for as long as possible.
