About Devil in Eden by Paul Zunckel

Synopsis for Devil in Eden
When the African night is at its darkest, he hunts the very men who hunt him.
The killer hunts man, for man is the easiest prey of all.
The term “Man Eater” is enough to strike fear into anyone and Piet Van Zyl finds himself being drawn into the darkness of the night where he must confront a killer lurking in the shadows, called “Devil” by the terrified people it preys upon.
“Devil” is a fully grown black mane male, who was cast out of his pride by a younger male, and in the process lost his left eye in the fight. He now finds it easier to prey on the people in the villages rather than on his natural prey, and he has developed a taste for human flesh. He has no fear of the humans, for they are the source of his food, and there is plenty to be had in the Zambezi Valley.
Follow the hunt for the serial killer who is always one step ahead of the hunters.
A killer who not only kills to feed, but kills for the pure joy of the hunt and the kill.
Their screams of terror ring out into the night, but falls on deaf ears for the night belongs to The Devil.
A fast paced thriller that takes you on the hunt for a man-eater, and leads you into the night, from where you might not return.

Fangs of Fury by Paul Zunckel

About Fangs of Fury by Paul Zunckel

Synopsys for Fangs of Fury
He tries to scream, the terror stuck in his throat…the darkness all around him…the stench, he can smell the creature from hell, the low growl from its throat…flailing around him with his fists…can’t see, the darkness wrapped around him like a blanket…must defend myself, oh my God the fangs.
Africa, a land of myth, witchcraft, magic and corruption. A land where death waits in the shadows. A land where the hybrid now walks unafraid with a blood lust and a hatred for man …created to kill.
Man playing at being God, working with genetic creation, determined to create the perfect Human being…in isolation nothing can disturb the creation…nothing can go wrong but if you are in Darkest Africa, no one can hear you scream as you die by the hand of a creature not created by God, but by the sick mind of man…a creature from hell.
Two creatures now walk the African bush…one, a gentle soul breed from the womb of a chimpanzee…the other…a killer, a cross gorilla/mandrill baboon.
The hunt is on to bring an end to the madness, to the fear that stalks through the undergrowth, that is spreading its wings over Africa, to put an end to the killers rampage, to capture the gentle Hybrid…to sell her body to the highest bidder.
One man driven by greed…the other by compassion.

UNMASKED: THE HONORABLE AND DISHONORABLE TRUTHS OF A PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL UMPIRE

About UNMASKED: THE HONORABLE AND DISHONORABLE TRUTHS OF A PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL UMPIRE

FINALLY, A BOOK THAT UNMASKS THE “BLUE BROTHERHOOD”
Whenever somebody learns that Zach Rebackoff (The Flying Birdman) was a professional baseball umpire, their reaction is a bare-all-teeth smile and a most frequently asked double-barreled question: “Really? Did you ever throw anyone out?” Ha! Ask the players and managers? UNMASKED-The Honorable and Dishonorable Truths of a Professional Baseball Umpire will undoubtedly convey that they know he did!

Bronx-born into an emigre Russian Jewish family in April 1951, Zach would be first a baseball Maverick and then a Pirate. For example, there was the evening in the Dominican Republic when he called a forfeit against the home team, putting himself under the siege of 18,000 garbage-hurling fanáticos. Or the day in 1980 when future HOF’er Wade Boggs hung blame on him for losing the league batting title—by one percentage point.

UNMASKED, Rebackoff’s in-depth memoir, is for baseball enthusiasts and their insatiable desire to understand our national pastime’s enforcement squads; the highs, the lows, the trials and tribulations, politics, backstabbing, and most especially, what goes on inside those quirky minds behind the mask, in particular, Zach’s mask; the one he wore on the field, and the one he wore, and still wears, off the field. In Zach’s opinion, many baseball fans visualize what it’s like being a professional umpire, embedded in the game’s speed, living up to the challenge, in real-time, with all of its attendant notoriety and cheers. They suspect umpiring is challenging, but they don’t surely know.

In a myriad of voices, Zach captures baseball’s culture from, shall we dare say, a sagacious angle. Truly knowing umpires (those you know by name) is to know there are MLB umpires that have purposely unleashed indefensible acts of defamation, betrayal, and deceit—Zach’s memoir tells you the who, what, and where. Baseball umpires, by the way, are a trendy subject. With the implementation of instant replay and ultra-slow-mo, the TV’s cameras dissect each revolution of every pitch, and numerous blogs focus solely on umpires’ statistics, ejections, tendencies, quotes, habits—the public’s peeking into one of the most intricate jobs on the planet have never been greater!

Besides being a professional baseball umpire, Zach tripped, tap-danced, bull-rode, and sailed his way through a career that has encompassed published authorship (TOUGH CALLS C. Avon Books), TV talk show hosting, newspaper and magazine journalistic endeavors, and entrepreneurship. But, unfortunately, he never did love the “brotherhood.” Still, Zach eventually found himself surrounded by, and usually in an animated debate with baseball legends such as Don Mattingly, Cal Ripken, Wade Boggs, Mark “The Bird” Fidrych, Ron Darling, Felipe Alou, Tony Peña, Mookie Wilson… and so on. For those who accepted the Maverick, he offers praise. For those who attempted to sabotage his career, Zach’s words come down with the weight of a sledgehammer. What autobiography would be worth reading without thrashing those who deserve it?

Click “BUY NOW.” It’s your first call to a very rare take on one’s life in professional baseball.

About Five-Alarm Fire
