Book Description
Scott Ourecky wanted to fly; he never dreamed he'd end up in a secret military space program. The year is 1968. The Cold War is far from over, and nuclear annihilation is always only a heartbeat away. America is racing the Soviet Union to land men on the moon, a war is raging, and a pivotal presidential election looms on the horizon. A child of the early space age, Lieutenant Scott Ourecky joins the Air Force with aspirations of going to flight school. A brilliant engineer, he repeatedly fails the aptitude test to become a pilot but is selected to work on a highly classified military space program—the innocuously named Aerospace Support Project—n which Air Force astronauts are slated to fly missions to intercept and destroy suspect Soviet satellites. When one of the astronauts in training abruptly falls out of the project, Ourecky is asked to fill in for the two-man simulated missions and survival training only, serving with a headstrong and abrasive test pilot, Major Drew Carson, until another astronaut can be assigned. By far the most proficient pilot assigned to the project, Carson has a dangerous propensity to engage in pickup dogfighting sessions while on cross-country training flights. And although Ourecky was only a temporary placeholder, not destined to fly in space, he soon finds himself much more involved than he ever anticipated—and in deepest peril. Based on a real secret space program, Blue Gemini combines high-altitude action with edge-of-your-seat storytelling to create a modern classic Cold War thriller.

Book Description
The appearance of an astronomer, who was discussing the 13th constellation on national TV last year, caused a huge outcry from the public. The big question was, "How can my sun sign be different?" Many people concluded that the astronomer did not know what he was talking about! People wanted to know how their Sun sign could be different than what they had been told all these years. Actually, the astronomer was very correct; he was telling everyone the truth as indicated by the science of astronomy, which the psycholgical art of astrology is based upon. There are 13 constellations and has always been 13. This is why the book also features a section on Ophiuchus, which is the 13th constellation and the only constellation/sign named after a human being, Imhotep an African Egyptian. There has been a conspiracy of silence among Western astrologers to misrepresent the history of astrology and ignore the truth of astronomy. Since astrologers did not adhere to the science of astronomy, as dictated by the constellations, they created an alternative paradigm called the Koch zodiac system, which only acknowledges 12 constellations and therefore 12 signs. Astrologers who live in the Eastern part of the world practice the truth of astronomy by using the Sidereal zodiac system. Most people in the Western world actually believe that on January 1st their Sun sign is Capricorn. However, the truth is that the Sun is actually in the constellation of Sagittarius. This is the truth of astronomy and the sidereal zodiac system. So, if you were born on January 1st (of any year) your Real Sun Sign is Sagittarius (not Capricorn). This book shows everyone (who wants to continue believing in their old "sign", while embracing the truth of their Real Sun Sign), how to blend these two systems, so that who you REALLY ARE and what you are destined to learn about yourself, is anchored in the truth. It is a gentle reminder that you are not living your most authentic self. Are you the Virgo, Selfless Servant or Aquarius, The Giver? Read, the Zodiac Conspiracy and be introduced to the truth and Your Real Sun Sign.
