If you're looking for a precision instrument that is useful, reliable and will function 100 percent of the time, the forty-seven families of lunar eclipses outlined in this book have quite the stories to tell. Some are ancient, some are new, and some have yet to be born. But they each have the power to illuminate your sphere of influence. We all want to fulfill the highest, truest expression of ourselves as human beings and a knowledge of how these Lunar Saros Series eclipses work shines a special quality of light upon our personality and our pathway through the world. You will see how the eclipses have impacted lives and brought fame, fortune and sometimes despair.

Book excerpt: He is one weird Christmas visitor -- his hair and moustache an unearthly white-blond, his voice a gruff rumble. He fills the apartment doorway. From two metal cases he produces what a boy would expect from an exterminator: Toxic roach powders and poisonous fog bombs. But a crossbow? Eric is fascinated at first. He's been bored this snowbound vacation, and has already zapped about a zillion Zergs. Antsy, he's even sneaked a look at the Christmas presents hidden beneath his parents' bed. Then Anje Gabrail, this exterminator, appears, talking a little madly about his war against rats -- about killing them. "The worst," Anje says. And if Eric sees one in the Eden Apartments, he is to call Anje's twenty-four-hour cell phone immediately. Later that Monday, the fourth day before Christmas, a rat does appear in the building's basement -- and Eric finds himself suddenly, frighteningly swept into Anje's vengeful army. As either partner...or victim. With only a flashlight.
