This book was released on 2000-08-12 with total page 718 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In science fiction's early days, stories often looked past 1984 to the year 2000 as the far unknowable future. Here now, on the brink of the twenty-first century, the future remains as distant and as unknowable as ever . . . and science fiction stories continue to explore it with delightful results: Collected in this anthology are such imaginative gems as: "The Wedding Album" by David Marusek. In a high-tech future, the line between reality and simulation has grown thin . . . and it's often hard to tell who's on what side. "Everywhere" by Geoff Ryman. Do the people who live in utopian conditions ever recognize them as such? "Hatching the Phoenix" by Frederik Pohl. One of science fiction's Grand Masters returns with a star-crossing tale of the Heechee---the enigmatic, vanished aliens whose discarded technology guides mankind through the future. "A Hero of the Empire" by Robert Silverberg. Showing that the past is as much a province of the imagination as the future, this novelette returns to an alternate history when the Roman Empire never fell to show us just how the course of history can be altered. The twenty-seven stories in this collection imaginatively take us to nearby planets and distant futures, into the past and into universes no larger than a grain of sand. Included here are the works of masters of the form and of bright new talents. Supplementing the stories are the editor's insightful summation of the year's events and a lengthy list of honorable mentions, making this book a valuable resource in addition to serving as the single best place in the universe to find stories that stir the imagination and the heart.

Book Synopsis Obelisks: Towers of Power by : David Childress
Download or read book Obelisks: Towers of Power written by David Childress and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2019-05-18 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Childress, popular author and star of the History Channel’s show Ancient Aliens, brings us a stunning tale of archeological investigation on a megalithic scale. Childress looks into the enigma of obelisks and their purpose. Egyptologists tell us that obelisks are granite towers that symbolize a ray of the sun—a megalithic symbol of the Sun God Ra, later to be called Aton. Some obelisks weigh over 500 tons and are massive blocks of polished granite that would be extremely difficult to quarry and erect even with modern equipment. Why did ancient civilizations in Egypt, Ethiopia and elsewhere undertake the massive enterprise it would have been to erect a single obelisk, much less dozens of them? Were obelisks more than simple monuments? Were they energy towers that could receive or transmit energy? Childress takes us on an amazing journey through the history of the obelisk and its probable purpose as an energy tower. With discussions on Tesla’s wireless power, and the use of obelisks as gigantic acupuncture needles for earth, Childress shows us what the ancients were trying to achieve with their mysterious obelisks. Chapters include: Megaliths Around the World and their Purpose; Mysteries of the Unfinished Obelisk; The Crystal Towers of Egypt; The Obelisks of Ethiopia; Obelisks in Europe and Asia; Mysterious Obelisks in the Americas; The Terrible Crystal Towers of Atlantis; Tesla’s Wireless Power Distribution System; Obelisks on the Moon; more. 8-page color section.
Download or read book Prophecy Unveiled written by John Buckley and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Buckley skillfully explores many of the "hidden" but powerful prophecies in the Bible. For example, he points to a prophecy in Isaiah 18 that states that a third temple will be built in Jerusalem. Referring to the story in the Book of Esther he points to a prophecy about hanging the ten sons of Haman after they had already been killed. He believes that the execution of ten top Nazis following the Nuremberg trials fulfilled that prophecy. On another subject, did you know that Satan, before his alienation from God, had a home on the planet Rahab, which was the fifth planet from the Sun in our solar system? As a result of the "war in heaven" God destroyed this planet and its remains form the asteroid belt that circles that region of the heavens. The destruction of Rahad is recorded in the Bible. His very clear Biblical exposition defangs some cherished doctrinal issues such as dispensationalism, dual covenant, restoration of Israel to its homeland, and the rapture. This book offers a fresh perspective on the Bible. John W. Buckley attended the University of Washington where he received an MBA (1962) and Ph.D. (1964). He then served as a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for thirty-five years. During those years, he authored fourteen books and monographs. His father, Edward Alexander Buckley, was a deeply spiritual man who instilled in John an abiding belief in the Bible as being the inspired Word of God. So John studied the Bible and other religious writings in depth and began to formulate the views expressed in this book. With the encouragement of relatives and friends, he has now put his thoughts in writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 2042, Captain Stan Rhodes returns to planet Mars with a fresh crew and resumes exploring a region called the Cydonia Complex. Investigating architectural wonders from an ancient civilization, they revisit a magnificent five-sided pyramid discovered on the first mission and survey its subterranean passageways. When searching for the ruins of a city called Gaugamar forever buried in the sand, the team is asked by mission planners to penetrate the outer shell of another monument. This leads to them breaching a burial shrine from an older kingdom built for a monarch named Nemnasu. Within the funerary chamber of this monument, they encounter an extraordinary life force, and a text explains how this entity, comprised of a mass of energy, came to be interned in the tomb. The mission is further threatened when one of the team contracts an ancient disease. Coping with horrifically monstrous changes in this individual's physiology causes this crewmember to become mentally deranged, and in this altered state, this person is soon no longer recognized as human, but is seen as something entirely different. Come and join this crew of five as they make new discoveries while struggling to survive on the red planet.
