Jatkosodan syttymisestä tuli vuoden 2021 kesällä kuluneeksi 80 vuotta.Erkki Ulamo ja Markku Karvonen ovat laatineet ainutlaatuisen tarkan ja autenttisen kuvauksen yhden komppanian jatkosodasta.

The Fall of Gondolin
Presented for the first time as a standalone work, the epic tale of The Fall of Gondolin reunites fans of The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings with Elves, Balrogs, Dragons & Orcs and the rich landscape unique to Tolkien’s Middle-earth. This brand new unabridged audio book is read by Timothy West & Samuel West. Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable, is central to the enmity of two of the greatest powers in the world. Morgoth of the uttermost evil seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city of his Elven enemies, while the gods in Valinor refuse to support Ulmo Lord of Waters' designs to protect it. Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Túrin, and guided unseen by Ulmo he sets out on the fearful journey to Gondolin to warn them of their coming doom. Then Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs.
The Fall Of Gondolin
In the Tale of The Fall of Gondolin are two of the greatest powers in the world. There is Morgoth of the uttermost evil, unseen in this story but ruling over a vast military power from his fortress of Angband. Deeply opposed to Morgoth is Ulmo, second in might only to Manwë, chief of the Valar. Central to this enmity of the gods is the city of Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable. It was built and peopled by Noldorin Elves who, when they dwelt in Valinor, the land of the gods, rebelled against their rule and fled to Middle-earth. Turgon King of Gondolin is hated and feared above all his enemies by Morgoth, who seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city, while the gods in Valinor in heated debate largely refuse to intervene in support of Ulmo’s desires and designs. Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Túrin, the instrument of Ulmo’s designs. Guided unseen by him Tuor sets out from the land of his birth on the fearful journey to Gondolin, and in one of the most arresting moments in the history of Middle-earth the sea-god himself appears to him, rising out of the ocean in the midst of a storm. In Gondolin he becomes great; he is wedded to Idril, Turgon’s daughter, and their son is Eärendel, whose birth and profound importance in days to come is foreseen by Ulmo. At last comes the terrible ending. Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs. After a minutely observed account of the fall of Gondolin, the tale ends with the escape of Tuor and Idril, with the child Eärendel, looking back from a cleft in the mountains as they flee southward, at the blazing wreckage of their city. They were journeying into a new story, the Tale of Eärendel, which Tolkien never wrote, but which is sketched out in this book from other sources.
Lesibu Grand: Triggered
In the creation of Triggered, Lesibu Grand ventured into a profound musical journey, navigating creativity, collaboration, and compromise. Over three years, amidst challenges and triumphs, the band crafted an album that reflects society's complexities. Led by vocalist Tyler-Simone Molton and bassist John Renaud, with guitarist Brian Turner, drummer Lee Wiggins, and keyboardist Warren Ullom, each song delves into raw emotions and societal commentary. From tumultuous relationships to yearnings for change, the album resonates with a common sentiment of being "triggered"—a feeling of being in “fight or flight”.

The Great Tales Of Middle-earth Boxed Set
Sixth and final in a series of collectible boxed sets celebrating the literary achievement of Christopher Tolkien. Set #6 presents hardback editions of the three 'Great Tales' of Middle-earth, printed in full colour and with new art in each, and housed in a matching slipcase decorated with stunning new artwork by the books' artist, Alan Lee. THE CHILDREN OF HURIN Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwells in the vast fortress of Angband in the North; and within the shadow of the fear of Angband, and the war waged by Morgoth against the Elves, the fates of Turin and his sister will be tragically entwined. Their brief and passionate lives are dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bears them as the children of Hurin, the man who dared defy him to his face. Against them Morgoth sends his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire, in an attempt to fulfil his curse and destroy the children of Hurin. BEREN AND LUTHIEN Deeply opposed to the marriage of Beren, a mortal man, to his daughter Luthien, the great Elvish lord, Thingol, imposes an impossible task that Beren must perform before they might wed. Undaunted by Lord Thingol's challenge, Beren and Luthien embark on the supremely heroic attempt to rob Morgoth, the greatest of all evil beings, of a Silmaril, one of the hallowed jewels that adorn the Black Enemy's crown.

Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay 2023
Enjoy it now, or hold for a few years. No need to decant before serving. Founded in 1982 by Jess Jackson, Kendall-Jackson winery was the starting point for the Jackson Family Wines company, which has become hugely influential, both at home and abroad. Despite the enormous success, Kendall-Jackson winery has remained true to its roots. It is still led by “Winemaster” Randy Ullom and continues to produce the trademark Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay, as pioneered by Jess Jackson in 1983. Vintner’s Reserve is still America’s best-selling Chardonnay, 30 years after its first appearance on the market. Nowadays it is a symbol of California as a whole, crafted with grapes sourced from choice vineyards all across the state. Exhibiting an open bouquet of yellow apple, tropical fruit and lemon zest with hints of butter and honey, this wine is the quintessential Californian Chardonnay. It has a creamy texture in the mouth, with a pleasant acidic bite. Each vineyard brings a different element to the blend. The Santa Barbara grapes impart notes of tropical fruit, while Monterey County provides a citrus backbone. Mendocino brings a hint of green apple skin, and Sonoma offers luscious pear. All sourced from cool, coastal vineyards, the combined fruits make for a real treat of a wine. Best served slightly below room temperature, accompanied by white meats or fish.
