Book Description
[Humans. Earth. It exists in the Milky Way Galaxy. Seemingly, one planet amidst innumerable others in its own galaxy and surrounding galaxies. Earth seems to be the only apparent planet that is hospitable to human & Earth like life forms. What sense is it to have a multitude of universes & planets and only one that bears life? What if Earths’ Milky way Galaxy was just a tiny galaxy on the outskirts of the universe, the boondocks, so to speak. What if closer to the centre of the Universe, we’ll call it the Megaverse, there were hundreds of thousands of planets with hundreds of thousands of life forms and humanoid life forms. Thinking, speaking, living, breathing life forms that are technologically light years ahead of modern day humans. What if…these “Advanced humanoids”, we’ll call them “Neo-Humans”, unlocked the door for creating life? Now what if one of these “Neo-Humans”, even more advanced than the others, decided to go to the “backyard” of the Megaverse, the hidden village, the outskirts of the universe, our little milky way galaxy, and saw what might be a fertile planet, “Earth”, and planted some cells on this planet to observe the evolution of life, maybe in hopes of finding the answer to that timeless question: “Where did we come from?” Maybe , by understanding us, it could understand itself. Maybe this Neo-Human planted a few cells on Earth and watched as those few cells evolved into the billions of different life forms that we know today. Maybe humans are the result of…a science experiment…[Now even if this is true, it doesn’t lessen ones own value or meaning. All of us have value and meaning, life and purpose.] It’s just something I was thinking about one day…Which thus takes us to our new story…[Human]. Please enjoy. -Xanadu

Death in Xanadu
Author: Aaron J Clarke
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326819313
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
'Death in Xanadu' is a savage indictment against the movie industry, and in this world of celluloid fantasy, the ultimate power belongs to the studio mogul Carlton Hislop, who can either destroy careers or create them - on the condition that they submit themselves to him. Author Aaron J Clarke turns a jaundiced eye on Xanadu, and the result is a depiction of a chain-smoking, heavy drinking, coke snorting, megalomaniac - not to mention perverse - movie mogul, who will stop at nothing to get what he wants and likewise, prevent his abhorrent desires from being publicized. Drawn into this scandal are the producers Tiffany, Lisa and Tony, in addition to the casting director, Kathy, who nominates child actors Frank and Freddie for roles in an upcoming film. Carlton becomes fixated on the young actors the moment he sees their audition. And so the malevolent man descends down a path of depravity, which ultimately leads to his humiliating escape from America and subsequent punishment in tropical Brazil.

Flip it open to any page and be transfixed by a fresh take on a very favorite book. Or come across a title you always meant to read and never got around to.

Lists to help pick and choose, like Offbeat Escapes, or A Long Climb, but What a View. And its alphabetical arrangement by author assures that surprises await on almost every turn of the page, with Cormac McCarthy and The Road next to Robert McCloskey and Make Way for Ducklings, Alice Walker next to Izaac Walton. There are nuts and bolts, too—best editions to read, other books by the author, “if you like this, you’ll like that” recommendations , and an interesting endnote of adaptations where appropriate. Add it all up, and in fact there are more than six thousand titles by nearly four thousand authors mentioned—a life-changing list for a lifetime of reading. “948 pages later, you still want more!” —THE WASHINGTON POST
