Fancy a first person shooter where you’re a bit of a cowboy? The old cavalry type of cowboy, but not in the Wild West, but in outer space. Now that sounds like a refreshing change or doesn’t it?
Basically you are The Gunman and boy, you do get quite a few weapons to play with to kill all the baddies and nasty aliens with. Anyway, the basic plot is that you were once under the command of the Gunman leader (the General) and you and your men fled when a mission on a far away planet went horribly wrong. The general and a lot of your fellow gunmen were invited to dinner and became dinner for a strange new breed of alien nasties. The general tried to save his men and you and your mates cleared off to leave the rest for dead!

The Prophet is the work of Kahlil Gibran. It has been classed at philosophy, although I think it would have been better qualified as poetry. All the lines are written in verse rather than a prose style. Plus it does not really pose any kind of argument.
There is not really a story to the Prophet. It is basically about a prophet who appears before his people and offers them advise in a poetic form. This would appeal to people who like Paulo Coelho The Alchemist or Richard Bach's Seagull as it is has a same basically uplifting message. Essentially the prophet offers advise to the people in a form that could best be described as like a sermon. He talks and we assume the people listen!
The passages are based on various themes. These are love, marriage, children, giving, eating, work, joy and sorrow, houses, clothes, buying and selling ...
