Book Description
Gregory, Valea, their baby Crys and Taylok leave Rockworld and arrive in a small Wyoming town. Upon seeing Valea and Taylok, the clerk leaps to the conclusion that they are space aliens. He calls the town sheriff, but eventually tries to take matters into his own hands. The sheriff travels to Fairwater Lake to examine the remains of a prize bull and finds some surprising tracks at the scene. The search culminates in a deadly fight on a boat. Driggett and Leana are escorted to a Supreme Council meeting in Stonehaven Hall. Ambitious Gazer Stonemaker tells of a terrifying invasion of Rockworld by creatures identified only as the Kanan. Driggett is needed to locate and utilize the prime pyrite crystal, regarded as the single weapon that might save the Nehwisna. A small band sets out on a nearly impossible quest to find the weapon. Gregory is reunited with Driggett, but the expedition has proved deadly and only a handful of the original force remain, together with Arak, a half human whose motives remain unclear. Valea succumbs to the Kanan in battle and lies lifeless in Gregory's arms. Only one thing can save her, and its use remains illusive.

Book Description
Prologue The midday Mexican sun beat down mercilessly, turning the chipped paint on the Playa del Carmen police station steps into a shimmering mirage. Max clutched the flimsy police report, its Spanish a mockery of his meager vocabulary.Stolen cash meant a one-way ticket back to dusty textbooks, not sun-drenched beaches. A Mother's Warning Ignored Defeat felt like a cold hand squeezing his heart, slowly draining the life out of him. He couldn't face calling his parents,not after boasting about a life-changing archaeological dig. Less than 24 hours in Mexico, and all his dreams were gone. Shame burned in his throat. How naive could he have been? A memory flickered, a stark contrast to the harsh reality. The Send-Off The aroma of coffee wafted up the stairs, coaxing him out of bed. His mom stood in the kitchen, a symphony of clanging pots and clattering plates heralding his send-off breakfast. "You haven't forgotten anything, have you?" she asked, her voice laced with a concern he couldn't quite decipher. "Nope, all packed," he mumbled, stuffing a forkful of fluffy waffle into his mouth. Her words echoed in his ears now: "You're just a tourist. The law there doesn't always work the way it does here at home. Always be on your guard, Max." He'd brushed it off then, blinded by anticipation. Now, stranded and desperate, those words haunted him. A Glimmer of Hope The stolen money stung, but the loss of his Mac and passport felt like a punch to the gut. He needed a plan, and fast.Turning a corner, a familiar landmark sparked a flicker of hope. Grabbing his tattered map, he located his Airbnb – a lifeline in this storm. With a surge of determination, he pulled out his phone, the battery hovering on fumes. Inspiration struck. Holding it up,he pretended to record a live video, hoping to deter potential threats. A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Vendors vanished like phantoms. Just then, a policeman appeared, his expression a storm cloud. Max's heart hammered against his ribs. Playing with fire, he thought, but it was his only shot. "Doing a live feed for my family," he blurted, his voice strained. "Been watching this street for a long time, you know?" The policeman grunted, amusement flickering in his eyes. He moved on, leaving Max weak with relief. A Mysterious Figure Across the street, a man leaned against a souvenir shop awning. His weathered face held stories beneath a battered cowboy hat. One leg propped against the wall, his gaze was fixed on Max, unwavering. Intrigued yet unnerved, Max noticed a slight head tilt towards a side street branching off the main avenue. Was this a concerned citizen, a potential savior, or something else entirely? A Refuge Found, But Questions Remain He hurried towards his Airbnb, the confirmation email a beacon of hope. Relief washed over him as he entered the cool lobby. But a glance back revealed a chilling absence – the man with the cowboy hat was gone. Vanished without a trace. Max shivered, a phantom sensation of eyes boring into his back. He entered his room, the safety of four walls a temporary comfort. But the encounter with the stranger lingered, a seed of unease planted in his gut. Who was the man in the cowboy hat? Friend or foe? And in a city where paradise can mask danger, would Max find his dreams or his doom?

The Allegory of the Cave
Author: Plato
Publisher: Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 10
Book Description
The Allegory of the Cave, or Plato's Cave, was presented by the Greek philosopher Plato in his work Republic (514a–520a) to compare "the effect of education (παιδεία) and the lack of it on our nature". It is written as a dialogue between Plato's brother Glaucon and his mentor Socrates, narrated by the latter. The allegory is presented after the analogy of the sun (508b–509c) and the analogy of the divided line (509d–511e). All three are characterized in relation to dialectic at the end of Books VII and VIII (531d–534e). Plato has Socrates describe a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them, and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality.
