Book Description
When Marl Judson, fleeing a rapacious government that wanted not just his fabulous wealth but his life, crash-landed on a uninhabited planet, he thought he was marooned without hope of rescue, so he prepared himself to live out his remaining years as best he could amidst the planet's weird hallucinogenic flora. But head-twistting flowers (which Judson learned to avoid) were only part of the planet's weirdness: it was possessed of some sort of field effect which made time play strange tricks; temporal anomalies sometimes resulted in cause preceding effect and bizarre compressions and expansions of the normal pace of events. In such an environment time had no meaning; has Jusdson lived centuries alone, or only decades? Or is it years? Or all of the above? He doesn't quite know, but when another ship crashes the strange time effects allow(ed) him to conduct an experiment aimed at producing a perfect society, a veritable Judson's Eden. The the Snake arrives in the form of the government that marooned him - and the Snake wants Judson's Eden for itself.

Lives Of The Three Mrs. Judsons
Author: Arabella W. Stuart Willson
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1365430138
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
This book is a work of historical and cultural significance. Adoniram Judson was the first American missionary to Burma over 100 years ago. This book is not about him. This book is about the intrepid women who worked by his side. Written by Arabella Stuart at a time when women were just beginning to be recognized as writers in Western society, this book is about the Lives of three courageous and selfless women: Mrs. Ann H. Judson, Mrs. Sarah B. Judson and Mrs. Emily C. Judson. These three were all married in succession to Adoniram Judson, and they were all, in their own right, among the earliest missionaries to Burma. This is a book of love -- of commitment to a cause greater in importance than any personal sacrifice. At times gentle and at turns hair-raising, this is a thrilling story of three women who are examples to each one of us, men and women alike.
