Book Description
Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. This edition features two great tales. The first novel, “Cosmic Saboteur” deals with a traitor to Humanity. They told him that he hated the Earth, beating him until he nearly died—for he must be convinced! But it was all part of his wicked indoctrination as a Cosmic Saboteur. But hanging in the balance was the future of his own people—and his own planet. For if the Thuscans had their way, every major city on Earth would eventually become a smoking ruin, paving the path for an alien takeover and the end of mankind. Veteran sci-fi author Frank M. Robinson spins a taut tale of futuristic espionage, intrigue, and betrayal in this fine novel of a planet on the verge of total destruction. The second novel is another sci-fi goodie, “Look to the Stars” by Willard Hawkins. It was like a back door to eternity. There were eight of them—four men and four women—and some of them were running from the law. Random chance brought them to the mountaintop cabin of Eli Thornbolt, a reclusive scientist whose scientific dreams needed money to become a reality. But when his guests walked through the back door of his cabin, they soon found themselves on an incredible journey through the vast depths of outer space, to a brave new world—a world whose actual formation was spawned by the very entrance of their spacecraft into that region of the galaxy. Join these unwitting space pioneers in their struggles as they fly through space to destinations unknown, and join them as they strive to survive on an unknown planet whose location was a complete mystery!

Book Description
More than half of American adults and more than seventy-five percent of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life. This level of belief rivals that of belief in God. American Cosmic examines the mechanisms at work behind the thriving belief system in extraterrestrial life, a system that is changing and even supplanting traditional religions. Over the course of a six-year ethnographic study, D.W. Pasulka interviewed successful and influential scientists, professionals, and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who believe in extraterrestrial intelligence, thereby disproving the common misconception that only fringe members of society believe in UFOs. She argues that widespread belief in aliens is due to a number of factors including their ubiquity in modern media like The X-Files, which can influence memory, and the believability lent to that media by the search for planets that might support life. American Cosmic explores the intriguing question of how people interpret unexplainable experiences, and argues that the media is replacing religion as a cultural authority that offers believers answers about non-human intelligent life.

Book Description
As we enter the age of Aquarius, everything we know about our existence is changing. Opportunities will present to show us a greater truth. Our positive transformation is here... This book explores the cosmic backdrop of our current time and your role in the expansion of consciousness. Our DNA is updating through the live stream of the Aquarian age and we are undergoing a mass soul replenishment, whilst being caught up in a cosmic war not of our making. We are sitting right on the edge of our evolutionary cusp, but humanity is stalling the cosmic expansion. We are scuppering our own cosmic coming out party and letting the earth school down by not being present on our watch. We currently have the power to pull the whole cosmos into the sinkhole we are becoming. The gravity of this moment is immense. We have twice failed to take the leap in consciousness we are capable of. We are flagging behind as the race we are meant to be. Our world is becoming warped. However, the alien belt has responded and help is at hand, but we must rise to meet it. The challenges of our long overdue awakening have arrived.

Book Description
Political firebrand, tireless reformer, champion of the avant-garde, Octave Mirbeau embraced his role as disturber of the peace. Inspired by Kropotkin and Dostoyevsky, Mirbeau became the social conscience of the era, speaking in a clear voice to impugn capitalist ideology, to defend the cause of the worker, the child, the pauper, the prostitute, and the soldier sacrificed as cannon fodder. Mirbeau’s critiques of society seethe with indictments of indoctrinating agencies: the family, which stifled the child’s freedom and expressive creativity, the school, which besotted students with the aridity of its curriculum, the army, which privileged patriotism over the sanctity of life, the church, which sanctified suffering, perverted instinct, and alienated the faithful from nature. Yet Mirbeau shared the admiration of fin-de-siècle zealots for the pariahs, tramps, and beggars rehabilitated in the Scripture. The personal trials of the misbegotten became an insignia of election. Those marginalized by society experienced damnation here below yet had glimpses of the bliss they hoped might await them somewhere higher. Yet it was not just in the less fortunate that Mirbeau sought evidence of the supra-rational. Generally neglected by critics, Mirbeau’s interest in the unknown and the inexpressible informed virtually all of his writing and helped shape his views on artistic work and political struggle. For this reason, this study sets out to analyze the spiritual politics of the author. As Mirbeau was becoming involved in the escalating controversy over the Dreyfus case and cementing his alliance with prominent anarchists, he was also undergoing a uniquely personal spiritual evolution. This volume breaks new ground, exploring the author’s secular metaphysic, charting his investigation of the spiritually transfiguring experience that redeems man’s desolate existence. What begins as Mirbeau’s indictment of Catholicism’s death-glorifying ethos, his attempt to find refuge from life’s pain in the blessedness of Nirvana, becomes a pursuit of mystical diffusion into the community of others. Showing how Mirbeau controverts the existence of a Christian god, this study argues that Mirbeau never abandons his exploration of life’s mysteries, apprehensions of the infinite that come from a refinement of his art and an identification with his brothers.
