Book Description
This is the sixteenth book in a series of near future Hard-SciFi Thrillers. Their heroine Ell Donsaii has a nerve mutation that's rendered her a genius as well as providing astonishing athletic abilities. Her genius has let her revolutionize our world with a number of inventions, including instantaneous communications and trans-dimensional portals that deliver fuel, water, and food all around the worldIn "Transporter," Ell and her friend Roger have now found a way to transport people without the pain and seizures that have plagued such attempts in the past. This is going to change the world in untold ways.Having left the country to get away from all the attention brought by an attack on Zage (Ell's son) in the last book, they find themselves confronted by debt-slavery in the Dominican Republic. Rather than (as so many of us do) just pretending it isn't happening, they decide to do something about it.Zage's working to evaluate his promising test-tube Alzheimer's results in an animal model. But while this is being done, Ell's grandmother is becoming more and more demented. The ethical question of whether or not to try an unproven treatment in Gram presents them with a terrible dilemma.

A Pause in Space-Time (a Stasis Story #1)

ISBN: 9781674874814
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
This novella length hard Sci-Fi book begins the "Stasis Stories," a series of tales from the near future. They tell us about Kaem Seba, a sickly and financially destitute young man who uses his extraordinary math talents to work out a way to stop time within limited volumes of space-time. He and Arya Vaii, a business student, set out to develop the phenomenon.It quickly becomes obvious that, beyond the fact that time stops inside the stasis field, the volume of space-time in stasis might be useful for some of its other phenomenal properties. Since it essentially can't be altered (time's stopped inside) it's stronger than any known substance and, unlike matter, does not melt. This makes it the perfect material for building rocket engines. They set out to sell such engines in order to provide their budding business enough profit to let them develop other useful products.Unfortunately, the owner of the lab that tested the properties of their samples also recognizes their potential. His desire to share in their profits unhinges his shaky grasp on reality. When he can't talk them into letting him join their enterprise, he demands a share at gunpoint.

Telekinetic (a Hyllis Family Story #1)

Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
"Telekinetic" is the first of a series of post-apocalyptic stories featuring the Hyllis family. The collapse of civilization has reduced their people back to iron and horsepower. The Hyllises tend to inherit "tele-talents" such as telekinesis and teleportation. Tarc Hyllis' mother (and his grandfather before her) could "feel" things with their talent. They became healers because they could feel inside their patients, which frequently let them diagnose the underlying causes of an illness. Having made a diagnosis, unfortunately, there was often little they could do to treat a problem. Tarc's father can "push" objects with his mind, but, because he can't feel inside anything, he doesn't know where to exert force in order to help to treat his wife's patients. Tarc's just gaining the ability to do both of these things. The combination of these two powers will let him both diagnose a physical problem such as internal bleeding, and then stop that bleeding by applying pressure inside the patient. His mother finds this development extraordinarily exciting. She has too often had to watch her patients die for lack of an effective treatment.Then some strangers show up to scout the town where the Hyllises live. They plan and initiate a violent takeover. Could Tarc's powers, weak as they are, play a role in resisting this invasion? It turns out he can guide a knife after it's thrown?

Book Description
This hard Sci-Fi novel is the third book in the "Stasis Stories," a series of optimistic tales of technological innovation in the near future. They follow Kaem Seba, a sickly and financially destitute young man with extraordinary math talents. With his friends, he's developed a device that allows him to stop time within limited volumes of space-time. In this story, Kaem and company are commercially developing "Stade," which is what they call a piece of space-time that's in stasis. Stade's phenomenal properties (because it essentially can't be altered since time's been stopped within it) allow it to reflect all radiation. When a nearby nuclear reactor undergoes a meltdown, the first thought is that stade might be used to limit the radioactivity from the accident.But a little further thought makes it obvious that stade is also the perfect material for dealing with radioactive waste. They also become interested in using it to remediate a toxic chemical dump.They're still using it to build rocket engines. And working on plans for a space elevator!
