Welcome to Terrorland - Mohamed Atta & the 9-11 Cover-up in Florida
Daniel Hopsicker
In the days immediately after 9/11, Venice discovered to its horror that it
had been the training ground for history's biggest man-made massacre. This
book is an amazing tour-de-force of Mohamed Atta's days in Venice and the
events leading up to the 9/11 tragedy. Includes a little-known account of an
attempted assassination on President Bush that took place hours
before the planes crashed into the WTC. A must read for all Americans. |

Apple
Herbert L. Levine
Yes, that Herb Levine, the president of the Venice Taxpayers League. Sci-fi
-- who'da thunk it? Levine merrily destroys the entire Earth or nearly all
of it. One family remains alive in... you guessed it, Venice Florida. A
lesson in hatred and racism from one of Venice's keenest minds. |

The Aerialist
Richard Schmitt
An odd, quirky tale that starts in Venice in the 70's when two young men
come to town to join the circus. From Amazon's reviews: "This debut
novel has just been awarded the Chautauqua South Fiction Award 2002 from the
Martin County Library System in Stuart, Florida. This prize is given for a
Florida novel of merit. The Aerialist is a wholly original,
from-the-heart story, peopled with oddly compelling characters. Read
it twice to make sure you get it." |
