Book Description
Be careful what you wish for. A year earlier, with the help of enigmatic industrialist Michael Walker, all of Penelope Drayton Spence's dreams had come true. Now, as one of the country's top journalists, she has discovered what she thought would make her happy was only making her busy. After months of avoiding her, Michael Walker burst back into her life with an outlandish plan to launch his controversial "Hermes" satellite into space. But she soon learns someone just as resourceful and well-financed is willing to go to any lengths to stop the launch. After the Hermes Project's facility in Jackson Hole is attacked, Penelope gets a ringside seat as two of the world's most powerful men go toe-to-toe in a battle of wills that could change the course of humanity. FROM THE PUBLISHERThe first book in this series, "The Fourth Awakening" focused on the science and history of the previous awakenings. "The Gathering Darkness" explores what all this means on a more personal level. Penelope, like so many before her, has started down the path toward enlightenment but has lost her way. Throughout this fast-paced thriller are gentle clues and suggestions that readers can use to advance their personal growth. By presenting this science in a Joseph Campbell "myth" format, the authors are striving to capture the timeless "around the campfire" storytelling that will resonate on multiple levels. ABOUT THE AUTHORSRod Pennington has seven previous novels, including his recent dark comedy entitled "A Family Reunion." It is a continuing series about a dysfunctional family of four of the world's best assassins working as the enforcement arm for a shadowy Zen cabal that has been around for thousands of years. Jeffery A. Martin, PhD, is a Harvard-trained scholar specializing in higher states of consciousness. He is the author, co-author, or contributor to over twenty books in addition to numerous other scholarly and non-scholarly publications, videos, audio, and other media. The methods and science in the Fourth Awakening series that can have an immediate impact on most readers' lives can be found in his recent book, "The God Formula: A simple scientifically proven blueprint that has transformed millions of lives."

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Julia's story of her transformative years in France in her own words is "captivating ... her marvelously distinctive voice is present on every page.” (San Francisco Chronicle). Although she would later singlehandedly create a new approach to American cuisine with her cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her television show The French Chef, Julia Child was not always a master chef. Indeed, when she first arrived in France in 1948 with her husband, Paul, who was to work for the USIS, she spoke no French and knew nothing about the country itself. But as she dove into French culture, buying food at local markets and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, her life changed forever with her newfound passion for cooking and teaching. Julia’s unforgettable story—struggles with the head of the Cordon Bleu, rejections from publishers to whom she sent her now-famous cookbook, a wonderful, nearly fifty-year long marriage that took the Childs across the globe—unfolds with the spirit so key to Julia’s success as a chef and a writer, brilliantly capturing one of America’s most endearing personalities.
