The Similars: A Novel By: Thani Naqo The events of this fiction-like novel take place in the southern United States. An Albanian young man, nicknamed Chaplin, has entered the United States illegally to fulfill his dream of becoming a Hollywood actor. However, he must survive hard work as a gardener and, in order to be legalized, he must find a wife with American citizenship. By chance he met Susie, a stripper. She abandoned him and he did not know whether she was dead or alive, when after five years he received the ominous message, "Honey, meet me before I kill myself..." The message is not only the connecting point, but is also a retrospective organizing element of all the parallel events in this novel. The generation-to-generation inheritance of aspects of life creates what we often call a country's traditions. However, as immigrants engage with the American Free Lifestyle, it takes a lot of time with young people, but it happens that a lifetime is not enough. Because of the "pink undertones," the reader will initially assume that this is a novel about love, but in the first few pages it will reveal the counterpoint between American life and the traditions of nationalities. Eroticism is used by the author, as a Chinese Shan, to blast American-style sexual freedom, while revealing aspects of economic and philosophical relationships. In this novel, events are narrated with cinematic techniques, while the literary style turns them into an artistic example, says Kosta Nake: Albanian literary analyst, writer and publicist.

It is time for the truth to be told... On July 2, 1947 something crashed in the desert outside of Roswell, New Mexico. An explosion of light and sound made the sheep wail, the chickens squawk, and the children scream. And then the ranchers heard a noise they thought could only have come from the devil himself. For forty years, Majestic Agency director Wilfred Stone helped the CIA pretend the landing never happened. Then his conscience got the better of him. This is the real story, told to reporter Nicholas A. Duke by the guilt-racked shell of the man who once worked tirelessly to cover it all up. It is a truth so terrifying that Whitley Strieber had to call it fiction. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
