Book Description
Maxine Samuels is a research scientist who is driven to answer a single burning question: why has humanity’s spiritual connection to a higher power practically disappeared? Furthermore, what will happen if this connection can’t be restored? As she examines her world for an answer, she realizes that power, fear, greed, corruption, and shame have been used throughout history to control people and to prevent them from connecting to the oneness of the world. This is the cause of all the conflict, anger, war, and strife we observe, and will eventually lead to the demise of humanity. However, she strongly believes that a flicker of spirituality still exists. She hopes to fan it into flame before it goes out, and humanity is lost in the dark. Maxine is certain that the keys to the future lie in the past. She engineers a means to time travel by combining modern science with spirituality and then travels back to places where humanity lost its way. She hopes to use this knowledge to nudge civilization back into spiritual alignment in the present. The deeper she delves into these mysteries, the more she begins to wonder if it’s possible to travel to the past without leaving any footprints, and she realizes she may be in danger of irreversibly altering the very future that she is trying to save. At the same time, she realizes that others may already be traveling to the past, but with a desire to change things for their own benefit.

When Evil Calls

Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
A whole class of boys disappear without trace from their school. Another set of boys apparently witness what happened but are physically prevented from describing what they saw for some months. This latter group of boys separate to follow their own careers, marry and raise children, but are eventually all brought together again in an engineering capacity – despite earlier interests. Working together they devise new alloys and electronic communication devices. They build a model of machine they believe will travel through space – at the same time secretly building the parts for a full size machine. The model is tested in front of witnesses and performs perfectly but disappears from all monitoring systems for most of the test flight. While testing the new communication device a message is received from their old school friends who vanished those years ago. It takes some convincing of others that these boys (men now|) are still alive but permission is given for the full size machine to be built. Whole families are smuggled aboard the machine which, rather than going for a test flight, heads for the planet where their old friends are waiting. On arrival they find that all the people there have to be underground at night and in well lit places; any person, or animal, left outside at night is found dead the next day. They explore the planet, make friends with unknown animals, but are caught outside at night. A call for help is answered and they all survive, but now have a mission to destroy the darkness. They return to Earth to pick up people versed in ancient magics and return to Paxlene where, after adventures the darkness is defeated. An attempt is made to return the special people to Earth but fails as the Earth is about to be hit by a giant Asteroid. They are able to cocoon parts of the Earth and shield them from the catastrophe, but it all happens too quickly for anyone to be returned home. They try return to Paxlene, now free of evil, where they plan to help to build new societies out in the open, but something takes over their controls. The story continues with ‘Wormhole’ , and will conclude with a third tale which has a working title of “Restitution”.

Book Description
There are planets not meant to be colonized by humans. For three decades they will sleep, while their great colonial starship transports them to what is believed to be the perfect world. Their ship is state-of-the-art and totally automatic, allowing the passengers to remain in suspended animation for most of the journey. When they wake, they expect to find a virgin planet, unspoiled by the hands of man - a world where they can pursue happiness in a safe and free environment. The naive colonists from Earth have a different reality to face. Readers Favorites AL CLARK (Book One) Literary Review ★★★★★ by Paul F. Johnson Al Clark by Jonathan G. Meyer grabs the readers attention from the first page. One of my favorite genres is science fiction, above all, space opera. I found Al Clark to be space opera and more. I call it space adventure. The author has created a strong, believable set of characters, particularly the First Six. The story plot is strong and steady with several well designed twists, leaving a true space opera and space adventure fan expectantly waiting to turn the next page. I strongly recommend this book for those that enjoy good sci-fi. Good story. What the readers are saying: ★★★★★ Scifi as it was meant to be - Jennifer Seidler ★★★★★ I have a new (to me) author to add to my favorites - Lesley Wood ★★★★★ Scifi at its best, intrigue, robots, action, mystery, and very witty. Loved it! - Montzalee Wittman ★★★★★ Good old fashioned sci-fi - CenVillager ★★★★ Reminds me a little of the Sci-Fi of days gone by - jcat-top 500 reviewer ★★★★★ Classic Space Opera at its best - K.G. Evans Jr. ★★★★★ Finally, A Great World Exploration Sci-Fi Book - GeneK6 Available in Digital, Paperback, and AudioBook

The Obelisk

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
Gideon Davis, whose behind-the-scenes negotiating skills have earned him the role of peacemaker in conflicts around the globe, knows more about hush-hush discussions in Capitol corridors than he does about hand-to-hand combat. What's more, he's sworn off guns in the aftermath of his parents' tragic death when he was a young boy. But his more practical, tactical skills become vital when he's called upon by family friend and government big-wig Earl Parker in an effort to bring in a rogue agent - Gideon's own brother Tillman. Gideon is transported from a DC awards dinner to the jungles of the oil-rich nation of Mohan where Tillman has promised to give himself up. But on his arrival in Mohan, plans go immediately awry and he must evade hostile locals to make his way to the Obelisk - a state-of-the-art oil rig which has been seized by terrorists. Both Tillman and Parker are aboard the rig - one as a terrorist, the other a hostage. With the help of rig manager Kate Murphy, Gideon launches a rescue operation. But those he'd counted on as friends are enemies. If he is to succeed, and save the world from catastrophe, he must uncover the true loyalties of those nearest and dearest to him and learn the truth about the events of his past.
