Mac Mccloud S Five Points

This stunning collection of images celebrates the remarkable career of Burnis "Mac" McCloud, Denver's premiere Black photographer between 1950 and 1980. His remarkable photographs, focused on Denver's Five Points community, captured the ordinary lives of African Americans during a period that witnessed the end of Jim Crow segregation and the beginning of the Civil Rights era. Assembled from more than one hundred thousand negatives that McCloud left behind, this collection introduces his creative work to the world beyond the Mile High City. Author William Wyckoff also tells McCloud's life story, revealing the challenges to and vitality of Denver's Black community. At a time when much of what McCloud photographed is being swept away by gentrification and urban change, this collection of images preserves a time and place important not only for Denver but for all of Black America.

DEVASTATION POINT What would you do if you were stranded halfway around the world when it crumbled? The world collapsed after the spread of the hyper-aggressive H5N1 Avian plague and several airborne mutations. By simply breathing the air, billions upon billions around the world died in less than a few months' time. Soon after, technology and infrastructure disintegrated. Electricity is gone; there are no cell phones, Internet, television or much else. Humanity lies in waste, disease and ruin. Among the remaining survivors, one very rare gene in the human DNA surfaced as resistant to the onslaught. Stuck in the remote mining town of Mudgee, Australia, Airborne Special Forces Colonel Connor MacMillen survives the dark and dangerous times. Motivated by family, he intends to get home to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania--or rather, the Fayette Mountains south of Pittsburgh. He has unfinished business to attend to there. After four impossible years traveling in a post-apocalyptic world, Connor Mac lands in San Francisco and commences the last leg of his journey across the continental United States. DEVASTATION POINT begins Connor Mac's exploits in the fifth year of the New Dark Ages as he encounters a strange and changed America turned upside down by the "Cuckoo Flu". Encountering new friends as well as making fierce enemies along the way, his personal journey reveals a furious and confident fight for life. But, unbeknownst to Connor Mac, his journey to get home is noticed by those still in power in America; and they’re looking for him. It seems he is decidedly different than most men left standing. While all living men are infertile, he is still able to reproduce. And, that changes everything. DEVASTATION POINT takes a comprehensive look at how one man, trained by America's best, would respond to a world completely altered by the pandemic destruction. To Connor Mac, family connections are critical and returning home can be a prime motivator for one last and final mission. “DEVASTATION POINT stands head and shoulders over the pulp that permeates the post-apocalyptic genre.” "A full and complete first novel of over 250,000 words, aficionados of the post-apocalyptic genre will fully enjoy reading this." "This is an exploration of what it might take to smartly survive the apocalypse and still retain the higher elements of what it means to be human. Sorry, but there are no Zombies.”

The author of Immaculate Deception has penned another riveting, action-packed tale of treachery and murder.

McCloud and his cousin, Sven Swede Anderson, the owner of the Downtown Athletic Club, travel to Portland, Oregon, to serve the divorce papers and become involved in another murder. A professional assassin appears to be the murderous culprit, and the two cases become entwined in a confusing trail of what appears to be strange coincidences. McCloud must traverse a suspenseful, sinister world of spousal abuse, gang violence, bank robbery, and murder before the cases are solved.
