Book Description
"Something in me knows of a life I was meant to live but for whatever reason, I have not . . . "Words that ring painfully true for Adam Sheppard, a San Francisco programmer who has spent the vast majority of his 30-something years lost in the dim glow of a computer screen. On the verge of a psychotic break, Adam begins to have a recurring dream of his early childhood and the hauntingly rustic town of Mendocino, California, where he grew up. Convinced he has left something behind there, something vital to his present sanity, Adam walks away from his current life to figure out what that is.One evening, out on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Adam has a chance encounter with a mysterious woman, only to later realize that she may be a long forgotten childhood friend. The coincidence of their reunion only deepens as Adam discovers that the woman has also returned to Mendocino due to a recurring dream, eerily similar to his own.Lost soulmates drawn together through time and space, or perhaps their meeting is only the beginning of a much deeper mystery. As Adam awakens to the possibility that his life could be destined for more than a bleak virtual wasteland, he soon finds himself a crucial pawn in a game that pits forces intent on enslaving the human spirit against those few quixotic souls who still search for meaning, beauty, and magic in the world.

Book Description
"The first part discusses the origins of everything, from the Big Bang to humankind. It follows the long course of evolution - from original matter to the formation of more complex structures, from the furthest galaxies to the nearest stars, from planets to organic molecules, from the first and most elementary forms of life through to the reptiles, the dinosaurs and the advent of man. The second part traces the history of the Earth and evaluates the risks of extinction in the future as predicted by scientists. Is the Earth the only habitable planet in the Universe? This question initiates the discussion on the importance of the Earth's position in the solar system and the significance of our geologically alive planet. The final part is dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial beings with identifiable life forms. It also describes attempts for searching, from the past to the near future." --Publisher's website.

This book, Beyond The Stars - Triology / Part One, covers all of cosmic science; from quantum mechanics and the formation of particles, to cosmology and the structure of space, to evolution and the formation of life. Moreover, this book is sub-divided into ten chapters and into ten reference chapters to make this information more understandable and digestible. Chapter one, “The Structure of Space”, covers the composition and structure of space, the elementary stage of particles, the evolution of energy, quasars, and the formation of galaxies. Chapter two, “Galaxies”, covers the composition and structure of galaxies, dark matter, interstellar dust clouds, and the formation of light particles. Chapter three, “Stars”, covers the formation of star clusters, the layout of star systems, the classification of stars, the life-cycle of stars, the death-cycle of stars, dwarf stars, planetary nebulas, neutron stars, black-holes, star nebulas, the formation of gravity, and globular clusters. Chapter four, “Particles, Molecules and Matter”, covers the formation of subatomic particles, atomic particles, molecules, matter, antimatter, the working of electricity, ionization storms, the principles of alchemy, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, and the existence of energy vortexes. Chapter five, “Star Systems”, covers the composition and structure of star systems and the layout of planetary bodies within them. Chapter six, “Planetary Bodies”, covers the composition and structure of gas spheres, planets, planetesimals, asteroids, comets and meteors. Chapter seven, “Dimensional Planes”, covers the existence and function of dimensional planes, the difference between man and animal-man, the varying of humanoid-life throughout space, the existence of non-human life upon the Earth, NASA’s search for life throughout our solar system, our fight against drug-resistant organisms, the organization of life throughout all of space, and the planetary life-cycle of all planetary bodies. Chapter eight, “Evolutionary Changes”, covers physical evolution, dimension evolution, the formation of life-energy, the progression of life-energy, the evolution of mind and consciousness, the development of spirit, and the existence and nature of “God”. Chapter nine, “What is Man”, covers what type of being is man, man’s evolution, life within our solar system, the existence of hydrides throughout our galaxy, the nature of non-human life upon the Earth, the Earth’s location within our galaxy and its relationship to all of space, the government and administration of space, the creation of life throughout all of space, and the ongoing rebellion against “Michael”.
