Aurelius Antonius finds himself recalled to Rome and is assigned the Commander of new Caesar, Romulus Augustus' retinue of personal bodyguards. Romulus is destined to be crowned the last emperor of Rome. His reign lasts for one day and ends with Rome being run over by the savage Goths. In the resulting invasion, most of Aurelius's men are killed and the young Caesar is captured and imprisoned in the forbidding Isle of Capri. Aurelius, with the very few legionnaires left him, undertakes a rescue mission, with the assistance of a mysterious Byzantine warrior, who turns out to be a beautiful, very lethal woman named Mira. Against impossible odds, Romulus Augustus is rescued. But, with the Roman legions having just sworn allegiance to the Goths, the one remaining hope lies in the forgotten 9th Legion, called the Dragon legion, which had been assigned to remote Britannia. Unfortunately, the 9th Legion, which they had pinned their hopes on, is not what it once was.MPAA rating: Rated PG-13; for sequences of intense action violence.DVD, region 1, widescreen presentation; Dolby Digital.

Death above the line : a California Zephyr mystery / by Dawson, Janet,author.(CARDINAL)774948;

"Zephyrette Jill McLeod meets a movie director on the train known as the California Zephyr. He insists he wants her to play a part in his upcoming film noir. Skeptical, Jill takes his business card and doesn't give the encounter much thought. Three months later, she finds herself before the cameras in a Niles warehouse that's been turned into a movie set. Her temporary job as an actress should be a lark, if it weren't for the black emotions and conflicts swirling around Jill. Some of the people around her have secrets they'd rather not share, and much antipathy toward a visiting studio executive who likes to wield his power. Someone winds up dead and once again, Jill finds herself investigating a murder"--

Randall found inspiration and comfort in the sounds and history of the first family of Black country music: DeFord Bailey, Lil Hardin, Ray Charles, Charley Pride, and Herb Jeffries who, together, made up a community of Black Americans rising through hard times to create simple beauty, true joy, and sometimes profound eccentricity. What emerges in My Black Country is a celebration of the most American of music genres and the radical joy in realizing the power of Black influence on American culture. As country music goes through a fresh renaissance today, with a new wave of Black artists enjoying success, My Black Country is the perfect gift for longtime country fans and a vibrant introduction to a new generation of listeners who previously were not invited to give the genre a chance"--
