Save
Darfur mission is to raise public awareness
about the ongoing genocide in Darfur and to mobilize a unified response
to the atrocities that threaten the lives of two million people in
the Darfur region. Darfur has been embroiled in a deadly conflict
for over three years. At least 400,000 people have been killed;
more than 2 million innocent civilians have been forced to flee
their homes and now live in displaced-persons camps in Sudan
or in refugee camps in neighboring Chad; and more than 3.5 million
men, women, and children are completely reliant on international
aid for survival. Not since the Rwandan genocide of 1994 has
the world seen such a calculated campaign of displacement, starvation,
rape, and mass slaughter. www.savedarfur.org

Plot Summary: "The Last legion" is a fantasy action-adventure in the vein of "The Sword and the Stone" set against the fall of Rome and its last emperor, 12 year-old Romulus Augustus, the boy who would rule for a day before losing all that he loved: his family, his home, and an empire that once stood for truth and honor. Imprisoned on the island-fortress of Capri, Romulus searches for a means of escape. He discovers instead "excaliburnus," the legendary sword of Julius Caesar, and realizes that he must do all in his power to save Rome. Aided by the clever strategies of his teacher, Ambrosinus, and the heroic skills of his loyal legionnaire, Aurelius, Romulus escapes the island. Accompanied by his friends and a mysterious envoy from Constantinople, Romulus travels to Britannia in search of the last Roman Legion – the fabled Dragon Legion. There, Romulus will fight alongside his friends to make his last stand for Rome and take his first steps to becoming a man and he king who would father a legend. — More here
