- The Lamorri - By sholari James It is not known where the lamorri came from originally. Maybe they themselves had forgotten. But from the darkness of the night sky they ascended upon Sho-Caudal with their partners the cleash and enslaved the shantas. The lamorri and cleash, along with their machines and terrible creatures scarred Sho-Caudal forever. The planet was not only physically damaged, but also the sho-sen displays disturbances that have its origins in the manipulations of the lamorri. When the lamorri were defeated and fled Sho-Caudal, they left behind their technology, their slaves races and abandoned their former partners, the cleash. The shanta tried to restore Sho-Caudal and destroy all things of lamorri origin. This proved to be harder than they imagined and today the ancestors of the slave races and humans search for the powerful legacy left behind by the lamorri without knowing the dangers these present.

Graveyard of the Atlantic

Alyson Hagy

The stoic characters in Hagy's third collection of short stories are intimately involved with the sea, but in their interpersonal relationships they tend to be as distant as ships passing in the night. Six of the seven stories in this moving collection take place on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where the tide of tourists passing through can be as disruptive as the sometimes deadly waves. In "Sharking," an old-timer doing some night fishing is able to save three drunken, vacationing college kids from drowning, but can't help a terminally ill young woman fishing beside him. Chris, the protagonist of the title story, wearily weathers the ebbs and flows of his marriage to Lucy, a brilliant but emotionally unstable poet who has come to the Outer Banks to find inspiration. Randall, the only woman in a Coast Guard crew of seven stationed at Cape Hatteras, battles despair and has an odd intimacy with a former rival after both fail to save a drowning girl in "Semper Paratus." In "Brother, Unadorned," Annie tries to reconnect with her brother Mitch, whose marriage is failing, on a rare family vacation as adults. And in "Search Bay," the collection's only entry set outside North Carolina, John Hansen, a reclusive retired sailor living on Lake Huron--who once worked briefly off the Outer Banks--is shocked out of his emotional exile by several encounters with a local Chippewa boy. Most of the characters in these short narratives are more at ease communing with nature than with their fellow humans, and their emotional remoteness distances the reader at times. But the stark beauty of Hagy's language is arresting, and the fleeting moments of emotional connection she engineers are infused with raw power. (May) FYI: Hagy's first novel, Keeneland, will be published by Simon &amp; Schuster in April (Forecasts, Feb. 7). <br />Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.

The Ultimate Deception

Commander X

"This book is dedicated to those few brave souls who have risked their very lives to leak the story of the century to a public that has long been kept in a state of 'blissful ignorance.' This conspiracy leads right up to the front gate of the White House, and behind the Krelin walls, and involves the cover-up of an 'Above Top Secret' agreement forged between the military and a group of aliens referred to as the EBEs (short for Extraterrestrial Biological Entities). As part of this conspiracy, the government has literally 'sold out' our citizens by extending to the EBEs the right to abduct thousands of humans and to plant monitoring devices in their brains, in exchange for technical and scientific data. Initially, the authorities believed these short, grey-skinned humanoids were friendly, but soon learned that their avowed purpose was genetic duplication and the ultimate domination of our globe. To this extent, they have seized, highly classified, underground laboratories where they have proceeded to develop a form of crossbred 'Super Being.' ............."

The Oneiromancer also utilizes a number of spells unique to their own specialized studies. O A prominent feature of the Oneiromancer is the permanent availability of the sleep spell.

Together, this paranormal pair of snoops sets out to track down a thief who made off with a dangerous plant implicated in the death of a wealthy lord, but wind up uncovering a sinister secret order. Quick invents two dazzling 19th-century sleuths who combine paranormal prowess and raw sexual heat. But if they excel at fooling Mother Nature, it's their all too human nature that brings this uncommon Victorian duo to life. <i>(Apr.)</i> <br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

2 After having journeyed through the empty desert northwest of New Vegas for near two days, you spy a large salt flat in the distance. According to the map, the abandoned facility called Area 5 is located on the southern shore of the dry lake. You carefully descend the slopes of the surrounding hills until you reach the bottom of the valley and make your way toward the lake. After walking for a short while you come to a large chain-link fence, stretching out in both directions as far as you can see. The top is crowned with barbed wire and a rusted sign warns prospective intruders about lethal voltages running through the wires. However you notice a hole has been cut in the fence, not too far from where you're standing. You go through and past the fence and eventually find yourself on the tarmac of a ruined runway. You follow the runway for a few miles and as you walk you start hearing the ominous clicking sound of your Geiger counter. In the distance you can now make out

History

A História de Faendull Há 200 anos atrás, Faendull foi um reino próspero e livre. Seu governante, o rei Berthos era visto como um homem bom pelo povo. Foi então que, buscando auxilio na magia, Berthos contratou três grandes feiti- ceiros para serem seus conselheiros: Iagoth, Sarloch e Rubon. Foi então que os problemas começaram. Os três feiticeiros logo se questionaram quando a curiosidade do grande rei. Ele pri- meiro perguntava sobre magias simples de adivinhação, depois perguntava sobre invo- cações, até que suas dúvidas ficavam mais obscuras e em pouco tempo estava querendo saber sobre demônios. Sarloch parecia co- nhecer mais deste assunto e foi o que mais recebeu atenção do rei. Iagoth não crendo que o rei poderia estar se corrompendo, logo formou uma força de elite de soldados fieis, e junto com Rubon, desmascarou Berthos. O rei havia descoberto uma masmorra sob seu castelo onde fora aprisiona

1 A lthough a vast number of spells are available in the game’s core rulebooks, many GMs and players have an insatiable desire for more options. In many cases it’s not necessary to create new spell options from scratch, since a few minor changes to an existing spell can create something with a very different feel or impact on game play. These spell variants are based on the idea that you can make a lot of different effects with fairly minor changes to how a spell works, or by combining effects of multiple spells, or by mixing a spell and magic item or even a class ability (preferably from a class not used in the campaign). Some spell variants are common and fairly obvious, such as having an iceball spell that is a fireball that deals cold damage. The following list of one-hundred- and-eleven spells variants are slightly more complex and are designed to show how you can create new spells without too much work. One important tip is that when you base a new spell on an old

The Dark Heart of Afrik An Adventure for the Mythus™ FRPG by Patrick M. Murphy A Mad Irishman Production The Dark Heart of Afrik is a Mythus adventure designed for three to five HPs, in which the Personas are exposed to the dangers of the depths of the Dark Continent. Due to the nature of the transportation involved in getting them there, this adventure may be inserted with relative ease into any campaign, providing of course that an African-type continent exists somewhere in the game world. The GM may decide upon further adventures in the area (there are sufficient loose ends to allow for a lengthy diversion in the Kongo region), or may base the campaign itself in Afrik. The GM should feel free (in fact, is obliged!) to adjust the number of adversaries encountered up or down in order to match the abilities of the HPs and players.

The result is a triumph of clear thinking as gripping as any blockbuster." --<em>BBC Wildlife Magazine</em>-- (10/01/2017)<br /><br />"<em>Rise of the Necrofauna</em> is a captivating whirlwind tour through the birth and early life of the scientific idea known as "de-extinction." A combination of informative storytelling and personal journey, the book explores the principles of ethics and morality that guide both the proponents and critics of the idea, deciding in the end that both sides are probably right. "--Beth Shapiro, author of <em>How to Clone a Mammoth: The Science of De-Extinction</em>-- (05/01/2017)<br /><br />"De-extinction is so hot a topic it sizzles.

From time to time reports were made of strange space craft encountered on the edge of newly discovered systems, which appeared derelict at first but when approached became active. More often than not all that remained of the Imperial craft which encountered these strange ships was the scattered wreckage of its remains, and the only clues to the nature of the enemy were garbled distress messages speaking of alien ships using weapons of quite terrifying destructiveness. Whenever such incidents were investigated nothing could be found of the perpetuators, and no useful evidence could be collected pointing to their nature or origin.

Cullingstone is a village in the Borders of Scotland, on the edge of a pine forest known as Hobs Wood. It is comparatively isolated, and while there is a sense of community, the people there have few dealings with the outside world. They are bound together by a secret that they feel no need to share with outsiders. Since 1849 a young girl has gone missing from the village every three years. Parents try to keep their daughters safe and stop them from wandering, but one always seems to find her way into the woods. There, she vanishes. The horror only gets worse for the family when, a day or two later, their daughter returns. The children that walk out of the woods look just as they did when they vanished, but it does not take long for their loved ones to realise that something is wrong. The returned child has all their memories, but is emotionally distant, lacki

How can I pull the characters from the jaws of death without it seeming contrived? How can I keep the "power" in my game from getting out of hand? ~ Gamemaster Law answers these questions.

The Horror On Two Forks Trail A Call Of Cthulhu Adventure A coach ride to San Francisco, what could go wrong? A scenario set in the American West of 1868-70. Foreword This scenario is well suited for all players (and characters) of Call of Cthulhu - no matter their experience, whether they are new and have no prior experience, or are old hands who can outstare a Shoggoth. No special skills or knowledge are required for its successful conclusion and no real time frame is set for the scenario, so events move according to the pace of the keeper, though things should ultimately move along regardless. That said, it should also be mentioned that this is not a scenario in the truest sense. There’s nothing really to investigate; 90% of it will be adlibbed; made up; off-the-cuff. This scenario’s roll is to fill out that night, or Sunday afternoon when no one really has anything to do, though it can easily fit in well with any ongoing campaign with a little modification.

The Last Cowboys at the End of the World: The Story of the Gauchos of Patagonia

Nick Reding

Some people will go to the ends of the earth for a good story; Nick Reding went to the end of the road, which turned out to be one and the same. When the Pan American Highway was extended into Chilean Patagonia, it exposed a people long believed to be extinct--the gauchos. While the gauchos had struggled for centuries with the hantavirus, extreme isolation, and visits by the devil, what the road brought was truly overwhelming. Reding befriends the likes of Duck, an alcoholic slowly breaking from the pressure of the outside; John of the Cows, a cattle thief on the lam; and Don Luis, an aging gaucho with terrific stories to tell. From its dramatic opening to its turbulent end, this elegant, brutal, and funny dispatch from one of the world's most forlorn places attempts to answer the inconceivable: What happens when you suddenly find yourself two centuries in the future? <I>--Lesley Reed</I>

History

Some years ago a movie was made entitled The Valley of Gwangi, in which a group of cowboys stumble across a lost valley in the American Southwest populated by prehistoric dinosaurs and mammals. In the course of an impromptu rodeo, the cowboys encounter the uncrowned king of the valley: a great Tyrannosaurus Rex known as “Gwangi.” The rest of the film is reminiscent of King Kong, with the capture of Gwangi, the attempt to exhibit him commercially, his escape and final destruction. Did the movie have to end this way? Maybe not. The following scenario is freely adapted from the movie, and was designed to fit in with an ongoing Boot Hill™ campaign if desired, or as a one-evening adventure unconnected with the regular goings-on. It should provide some lively entertainment for the players (and for the BH gamemaster as well; the look on the player’s faces when he describes the figure towering over their characters will be something to treasure until the referee is old and g

In this adventure, the player characters form a group to stop a deranged cultist from awakening the Ruiner, the darkness responsible for the zombies’ creation. In Need of Killing is an adventure designed for starting characters. It’s an adaptation of one of the first I wrote for Shadow of the Demon Lord. Originally, it was a haunted house story, one confined to an old shack in the middle of a field and the darkness underneath it. Through dozens of demos, the story evolved into what you have here, a bizarre romp through a macabre and unholy place.

Starsailing: Solar Sails and Interstellar Travel

Louis Friedman

Cofounder (with Carl Sagan and Bruce Murray) of the Planetary Society, Friedman spent 10 years working at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he was involved in, among other projects, research on solar sailing. (Three times NASA has rejected the solar sail, which operates on sunlight pressure and uses no fuel.) Friedman describes how the sails work and outlines their history, beginning with the first scientific paper on the subject, written under a pseudonym by engineer Carl Wiley for a 1951 issue of Astounding Science Fiction. In nontechnical language, the author covers the physics of solar sailing, problems of solar navigation, the design and construction of solar sail spacecraft and its promise for the future: "Used as an interplanetary shuttle, the sail would enable us to collect samples on Mars and other planets on a continuing basis." The 72 illustrations include diagrams, paintings and photos. This visionary volume, one of an excellent series of lay science Wiley Science Edition books, is recommended to anyone interested in science. <BR>Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.

A half-dozen feats, a set of linked spells, a group of magic items, 5 mythic path abilities, and so on; that’s where Mythic Minis come in.

Psychic Self Defense and Protection: An Energy Awareness Guide

John Culbertson

~<span>There's no doubt in my mind that since you're readings this you've been going through life, for the most part, dealing with various forms of psychic attacks. Don't be distressed. You certainly aren't alone. In fact, everyone who lives in our physical world will have to deal with some form of 'psychic attack' at some point in their lifetime. For many of us, especially those of us involved in helping fields such as psychology, counseling, the psychic field, or any field where we are around a lot of people everyday, these attacks will happen at an exceedingly quick rate each and every day of our lives.<br /><br />It is one of my dreams that those of you who own a copy of this book will be enlightened and informed so that you are better prepared and able to handle these attacks and, more importantly, stay healthy and happy as you move throughout this complex web known as life.<br /><br />This book has been divided into two sections.<br /><br />The first section deals with understanding what a psychic attack is. It is only by fully understanding how energy works that you will be able to understand how psychic attacks happen. Furthermore, it is only after you understand how these psychic attacks happen that you will be in a position to understand how to defend and protect yourself from them.<br /><br />This is where section two of the book comes in. In the second section we will take a look at various techniques for protecting ourselves, our friends, and even our property from these attacks. As you work with these techniques, you will discover over time that you feel healthier, happier, and more confident in both yourself and where your life is taking you. <br /><br />Please note that I do consider this book a beginner's book. It's a book that I believe almost anyone can pick up, read, and have some understanding about basic new age philosophy concepts that are at work each day of our lives. It is not meant to be an ultimate guide. It is designed as hopefully a great introduction and a place for one to start their new age and spiritual journey.<br /><br /><br />With Best Wishes for Peace<br />~~ John Culbertson </span> ~

1 Psionic Disciplines – Rationale The sentry urophion specializes in detection and alerting the colony to the presence of invaders. The aura sight discipline gives this sentry the ability to see opponents that are invisible and hidden, which it will use while remaining hidden if it hears a party it can’t see. Mantle of fear can immobilize and delay creatures, and/or limit their mobility. Iron Durability makes this already high AC sentry even harder to hit and damage. Urophion – illithid roper The Urophion is the result of ceromorphosis on a roper. There is no MM listing for this creature. Previous iterations have given added psychic damage, brain eating, and psychic damage distance weapons to a roper, but my goal is to use the UA psionic rules to make a more distinct creature. Urophion are low mobility sentinels that populate the area immediately surrounding an illithid lair. They specialize in surprise and immobilization. They are intelligent beings, th

Ties are resolved by suit order: Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs Movement A character may move up to his Pace and perform an action, such as making a hand-to-hand attack, firing a ranged weapon, casting a spell, or making a test of wills. A character may attempt additional actions, such as running, but incurs a -2 penalty to all Trait rolls for each additional action. Fighting The attacker makes a single Fighting roll. If the roll is equal to or greater than his target’s Parry, the attack hits (see Damage). A raise on the attack adds +1d6 to the damage.

Gods, Sages and Kings (Vedic Secrets of Ancient Civilization)

Dr. David Frawley

"Gods, Sages and Kings is a very important book. It fills a major void in our understanding of human history... It calls into question our entire view of human history... it is much more significantly a truly spiritual vision of where we come from and who we are."

1 The Temple of Thúmis, Sage of the Gods -An overview of Tsolyáni temples. by M. A. R. Barker Knowledge of Thúmis, Lord of Wisdom, Knower of Arts, Hidden Seeker of Eternal Knowledge, Sage of the Gods, may well date from before the advent of the Golden Age. Worship of a being with this name is recorded upon a stone lintel from the period of the Dragon Lords. Yet it was the crippled priest, Pavár of Gánga, who developed a means of contacting the great enigmatic interdimensional beings who act as "gods" for the humans of Tékumel. Pavár compiled a book of mysteries (now lost) and coordinated the doctrines still followed in all of the human empires. Thúmis seems to have been one of Pavár’s principal sources of information about the laws of science and magic which operate in this dimension. There is a fragment purported to be in Pavár’s own handwriting preserved in the Temple of Eternal Knowing in Béy Su which reads: "This Lord is cool and detached, clear and open to the intellect, full

David, a professional graduate student and Lisa, his NSA prodigy girlfriend, are happy with their lives. David has no intention of amounting to anything, he just wants to party and get into Lisa's pants. When his new faculty advisor, a seismologist, coerces David into working on his pet project, they discover an astounding seismic anomaly. Investigating the anomaly propels David and Lisa into a world of intrigue and adventure. The anomaly leads them to ancient Alien artifacts buried deep under the Greenland ice sheet.

Some say that they are descendants of the evil Rakashasa or that they were some sort of experiment gone wrong. Whatever the case may be their history is forever shrouded in a cloud of mystery as they have no written language or ancestry.

They are referred to in most human cultures as catfolk or catpeople. They are covered in short fur all over much like a cat and when sprinting unencumbered bent over can be mistaken for a panther or lion.

Elements of Yacht Design: The Original Edition of the Classic Book on Yacht Design (Seafarer Books)

Norman L. Skene

<span><span><span>A little gem, first published in 1904 which, in these days of standard hulls, fills a much felt gap in our knowledge. We know so little about hull lines that it is really valuable to have at hand what is a standard work of reference. There are bits that no longer apply but the principles of hull design and what keeps a yacht going in heavy weather and light are intensely satisfying; the more so as we no longer for the most part commission an architect to design a yacht and watch its construction.<br />An absorbing and classic work, well worth the effort to assimilate.</span></span></span> (<i>Cruising</i>)<br /><br /><span><span><span>Skene runs through many of the formulas used in yacht design, and their underlying principles. For the non-mathematician, it makes one realize how far off the mark most of our boats are. Buy this book and put your own boat s measurements into the formula. You will wonder how ever she stayed upright or went to windward.<br /><br />Whilst being a useful technical reference book on classic yacht design, this book is essential reading for those who want to make a meaningful contribution to the rig debate</span></span></span> (<i>Royal Naval Sailing Association</i>)

1 Binndee Tydeswell TS Type-YS2 Kundeai Class Yacht Origins Though not a common sight, the Kundeai is still classified as an Imperial Standard design, thanks to its long history. While there are countless yachts and pleasure craft dawdling around known space, few are like the Kundeai, specifically built for a single occupant. The origins of the design date back hundreds of years, to a retired X-boat pilot named Vinn Kundeai. Vinn so missed the solitude of his old job that he convinced a megacorp to sponsor him in an attempt to cross the Imperium alone. Vinn intended to fit out a Type-S Scout for the voyage, but he found too many difficulties in unifying the control systems for a single pair of eyes and hands. He looked to the sports yacht market for a better starting point, selecting the Min Shaanrai, a 100-ton custom racing yacht for his voyage, stripping the yacht to its bare bones and refitting it for solo operation.

Help for the Haunted: A Guide to House Blessings, Ghost Clearings, and Spiritual Self-Protection

Ms. Lori McDonald

Lori McDonald is an Arizona native who has worked as a professional paranormal investigator and spiritual adviser since 1998. Throughout her life she has had the intuitive ability to sense of a haunting. As a child she often visited her grandparents, who lived in a historic haunted home. In 1998, she developed the ability to take paranormal photographs. After supernatural and ghostly images appeared in her family photos she asked the local camera shop owner to analyze the images. He informed her that that nothing was wrong with the camera or the film and that the images were paranormal. As a result, she began troubleshooting and advising the haunted in both California and Arizona. Loris no nonsense investigations have been featured several times on Channel 15 in Arizona. Her Whaley House Orb photo was nationally televised on Fact or Faked. She is a legally ordained minister and Reiki Master Teacher who conducts professional paranormal investigations of haunted locations in the Phoenix Valley. Her specialty is in the research and documentation of the paranormal. Visit her website at www.alienufoart.com.

That’s a lot of exploitation! The Federation crackdown on sex-work came as no surprise. However, even the most fanciful of economists never guessed a tax rate of 69%. And it’s long been recognized that hos within the Federation rarely declare their income. The totalitarian regime realized it could kill two birds with one stone – enforce the draconian tax laws to pay for their ceaseless expansion throughout the universe while reducing the number of females succumbing to a life of prostitution. So, the lovely working girls in the Alpha Blue universe are being audited by the Federation... But instead of just paying their god damned taxes, they’re calling for a full-scale revolution.

Living Faith Day by Day: How the Sacred Rules of Monastic Traditions Can Help You Live Spiritually in the Modern World

Debra K. Farrington

Farrington (author of Romancing the Holy and One Like Jesus: Conversations on the Single Life) formulates a practical and thoughtful guide for developing an individual, God-centered "rule for life," incorporating monastic wisdom into everyday activities. Farrington, who leads workshops and retreats on spirituality, ends each subsection with a series of practical exercises on prayer, work, study, spiritual community, care of the body, outreach and hospitality, making the daunting task of writing a "rule for life" seem manageable. Along the way, she offers some memorable insights from the Rule of St. Benedict and other monastic sources, guiding readers to pray for those who irritate or harm them, and moving them toward a healed heart and a closer relationship with God. In one section, she helps readers to understand that their greatest gift to another person can be grateful acceptance of that person's gift to them. Farrington's use of monastic wisdom can be humorous. A subchapter entitled "Accept Others As They Are" begins with the quote, "Don't be irritated by the brother who sings off-key." Throughout, Farrington brings the lofty vision of monastic life down to earth with specific, hands-on exercises and a commonsense approach. Her emphasis on the individual's role within the community makes this a perfect textbook for a spirituality retreat or small reading group.

Religion

Monastic Traditions Three traditions of monastic pursuit are common in the monasteries scattered across the multiverse. Most monasteries practice one tradition exclusively, but a few honor the many traditions and instruct each monk according to his or her aptitude and interest. All traditions rely on the same basic techniques, diverging as the student grows more adept. Thus, a monk need choose a tradition only upon reaching 3rd level. Way of Poverty Monks who follow the Way of Poverty take a vow foreswearing material possessions. Above all other monks, these individuals are considered among the most virtuous, and their divorce from earthly goods is compensated by considerable might, both due to their own discipline and through the favor of the gods. However, breaking this vow carries grave consequences: a complete separation from the divine and completely unbalanced ki.

Ice Age Cave Bear: The Giant Beast That Terrified Ancient Humans

Barbara Hehner

Grade 4-8-Third in a series on Ice Age mammals, this dramatically illustrated book investigates the realm of Ursus spelaeus, the huge bear whose bones litter the floors of European caves and whose likenesses were preserved by Cro-Magnon artists. Hehner discusses what is known about these largely vegetarian mammals, and what may be inferred by modern bear behaviors. Physiology, diet, behavior, and habitat are explored, as are cave-bear interaction with prehistoric humans and possible causes of the animals' extinction. Also covered are bear evolution, the use of the Beringia land bridge for ursine migrations to the New World, and the appearance of the North American short-faced bear (even larger than the cave bear, and a fearsome carnivore to boot). The readable text briefly investigates possible religious connotations in connection with prehistoric man and touches on more modern bear cults, such as that of the aboriginal Ainu in northern Japan. Accompanied by full-color photographs and Hallett's rich, realistic illustrations, the book is eye-catching and informative.<br /><i>Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY</i><br />Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Beyond the Cave 1 There are, far from the lands of men, tribes of intel- ligent bears with the power of speech. They are social creatures who enjoy good drink and food, and ferocious fighters who battle evils unheard of by most humans. They throw great feasts after battle and boast of their exploits. Legends tell of tribes who long ago aligned them- selves with humans and lived in harmony with them, but no one believes any such arrangements still exist. Occasionally, however, one of these greater bears will wander into civilized lands and befriend a group of humans.

Understanding the Dead Sea Scrolls: A Reader from the Biblical Archaeology Review

Hershel Shanks

Culled from the pages of Biblical Archaeology Review , edited by Shanks, these essays by scholars in the field shed further light on the Dead Sea Scrolls, which were discovered in the Qumran caves east of Jerusalem in 1947. Eschewing the mainstream opinion that identifies the inhabitants of Qumran as members of a Jewish religious sect called the Essenes, Lawrence Schiffman radically links the sectarians with the priestly and scripturally literalistic Sadducees. The late Yigael Yadin describes his laborious efforts to acquire the crucial Temple Scroll, the difficult task of unrolling it and his belief that Jesus was anti-Essene even though the Essenes' rejection of the Jerusalem Temple and its cult influenced the early Christians. Hartmut Stegemann claims that the Temple Scroll is a lost sixth book of the Torah composed of material rejected when the Pentateuch was canonized under the influence of Ezra in the fifth century B.C. In a 1990 interview with an Israeli journalist, John Strugnell expresses anti-Semitic views; he was subsequently removed from his position as chief Scrolls editor.
