The Transformation of CHARLOTTE POOLE

    Book Cover


The Transformation of CHARLOTTE POOLE


I only wanted to be cured! That's what I told Adam Damon. Cure me. Save me. I've been sick for years. My doctor told me I'm going to die in a matter of weeks. No one can heal me. Only you ... 

His solution was to strap me to his miracle invention: the Damon Machine. 
Electrodes on my skin pumped hundreds of volts right into my body. Buzzing and zapping like I was filled with wasps. 

That cure almost killed me. But I lived through it - and I woke up into the nightmare of what he'd done! 

He didn't heal me. He made me into something much, much worse. Lightning in my hands! High velocity electric voltage coursing through my veins. I can kill people with just one touch. 

And now I've got to work with the madman who transformed me.
Because if I don't control these dangerous powers, I'll be a menace to society. And if I can control them? Then the world needs me like it's never needed anyone before. 

Join me, Charlotte Poole, on my unbelievable journey of transformation from a regular teenage girl into one of the most influential - and powerful - people of the1880s. It's all here, in the "Charlotte Poole" series.

Yakuza and the Underworld

  Book Cover


Someone said to me," In the Japanese sense, it's not about morality or injustice, it's about face and honor." I'll give you an example of that. That's Yakuza. It can be said that it is cancer in Japan. Police officers call Yakuza Bouryokudan (violence groups), but Yakuza members often call themselves “Gokudou” (Adelstein: Tokyo Vice, p. 3), which means the ultimate path. First, I will write about the background and history of Yakuza. After that, I will introduce various crimes committed by Yakuza. These include sexual slavery, prostitution, drugs, gun smuggling, and more. Then we will talk about the most important organizations of Yakuza. Japan's most important groups are Yamaguchi-gumi, Sumiyoshi-Rengou, Inagawa-kai and Tou-A-kai. Finally, I will describe recent events. I interviewed Jake Adelstein and a government official at the Japanese National Police Agency about the important content of this study. Adelstein is a former Yomiuri Newspaper reporter and a Yakuza expert.
