A masterful blend of horror, science fiction, and pulse-pounding thrills, the first book in Nicholas Sansbury Smith’s bestselling Orbs series introduces the last survivors of an alien invasion. The year is 2061, and the planet is dying. Cataclysmic solar storms have forced leaders from around the world to finally put aside their differences and agree on one thing—to jump ship.

But, just days into the assignment, things start to go wrong. When the blast doors hiss open, Winston’s team finds a changed world outside. Humans are gone, vanished without a trace, and they aren’t the only thing missing. The planet’s water is gone, too. As the team explores their surroundings, they find thousands of luminous blue orbs lining the streets. It isn’t until they uncover what’s inside that they realize the nightmare that lies ahead.

The Orb Project
Author: Klaus Heinemann
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416575537
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
After literally stumbling into orbs appearing as bright as light bulbs in photographs he was taking at a spiritual retreat, Dr. Klaus Heinemann immediately sensed that he was onto something profound. There was no choice but to convince himself that his notion was on solid grounds. Heinemann looked at thousands of pictures he had taken earlier, and thousands more would be taken to test the hypothesis that these light circles are nothing less than emanations from Spirit beings. Dr. Míceál Ledwith had a similar experience after the orb phenomenon was first made known to him through the teachings of Ramtha. He began an intense and systematic study of orbs in all sort of situations, day and night, and in all sorts of atmospheric conditions, in order to discover all he could about their nature, the situations in which their presence could be most easily detected, and what implications they might have for our understanding of our own place in the cosmos. To date, he has amassed a collection of well over 100,000 images. In The Orb Project, Ledwith and Heinemann present their fascinating discoveries, along with practical tips that amateur digital photographers can use to photograph orbs and properly distinguish them from "false" orbs that are really dust or water particles. They offer guidelines on deciphering the orbs' various patterns, features, and characteristics, based on their extensive research. As Dr. Ledwith points out, once you develop a keen and sustained interest in photographing spirit entities, some quite interesting things begin to happen: the brain stops censoring these images, and you can begin to see with orbs with the naked eye -- in more color and detail than is visible to even a digital camera. Ledwith and Heinemann also explore communication with orbs and what their existence means to our lives. The implications of a realization that we are "surrounded by a cloud of witnesses" are enormous and incredibly hopeful for the world at large.

Book Description
Do you wonder about the afterlife? Do you question what happens to us when we die, and whether our energy remains on this plane? The Orb Diaries answers these questions, sharing with readers the truth about the white orbs that can sometimes be captured on film and video. These orbs are our souls, our life force, transitioning from 3D to 5D. Whether you call it the Universe, God, or the Creator, we return to it as tiny bright sparks of light known as spirit orbs. Orbs visit family and friends to say they are okay. They help to remind us that we are all made of the same material, and that one day, we too will return to where we came from. Our lives are never really over; we simply transition and take on our original form. Readers will be amazed to see photographs of these orbs in all their splendour and to understand that they are everywhere, with us at all times. In order to see them, we only have to open ourselves up to the universe and record the truth hiding within the camera lens.
