Steve Rogers is coming to grips
with living in modern America after
being frozen in ice for 50 years.
A new threat against S.H.I.E.L.D.
arises called “The Winter Soldier”.
While the origins of the Winter
Soldier are unknown, the threat
against S.H.I.E.L.D. from the
Hydra organization is. Especially
after it compromises Nick Fury
and Agent Romanoff, leaving them
betrayed and left for dead, and their
S.H.I.E.L.D. status revoked, marking
them as traitors to the organization.
Now racing against time with very
little resources available at his
disposal, Captain America launches
an investigation into S.H.I.E.L.D.’s
origins and that has him returning to
the very Army base where he once
underwent basic training nearly 100
years ago. What he and Romanoff
discover there leads to a very startling
development with S.H.I.E.L.D., a
top secret project called “Operation
Insight”, and the launch of the next
generation of Helicarrier. Can they
stop it before it’s too late?

Deep in the heart of the English
countryside lies the enchanting
village of Gladbury. Legend has
it every 25 years that an angel
visits the village candlemaker and
touches a single candle. Whoever
lights this candle receives a miracle
on Christmas Eve. But in 1890, at
the dawn of the electric age, this
centuries old legend may come to
an end. When David Richmond, a
progressive young minister, arrives
in Gladbury, the villagers discover
a new formula for miracles: good
deeds and acts of kindness. While
David’s quest to modernize Gladbury
sets him at odds with the old world
candlemaker, he finds an unlikely
ally in the lovely skeptic, Emily
Barstow. Now, the fiery candlemaker
must fight to preserve the legacy of
the Christmas Candle.

“

conducted through a post office box).
When Klara Novak comes to work as
a clerk in the shop, the sparks begin
to fly: she and Alfred can’t stand each
other. Of course, what neither knows
is that Klara is the woman Alfred has
