A revolutionary breakthrough in human biophysics is poised to redefine the field of medicine. Dr. Bryan Morgan, a brilliant medic and award-winning clinical psychologist, is struggling with unemployment amid marital and financial strain. That is until the Extended Life Foundation (ELF), a visionary institute at the forefront of scientific innovation, comes knocking on his door. Using state-of-the-art laboratories, cutting-edge research, and healthcare delivery that prompts both awe and ethical debate, ELF invites Bryan to join the top-secret institute. It's a dream job, but life is never that straightforward, and even the simplest discoveries can have deadly repercussions. Doubts soon emerge about the consequences of tampering with the natural order. What sacrifices are made in the pursuit of extended life? Is immortality a gift or a curse? And when the lines between scientific progress and ethical obligation blur, who ultimately holds the power to decide? Ahead lies a frightening and dangerous mission into the unknown, putting Bryan's life, and his sanity, at risk, as the choices he makes will have profound implications. Trapped in a loop of increasing danger, he'll go to any lengths to protect his family and expose the truth before it's too late. If you're a fan of fast-paced tech-thrillers with mind-blowing medical science, unexpected twists, and a desperate fight for survival, you'll love this science fiction thrill ride
"An enthralling contemporary sci-fi thriller that quickly hooks readers. In crisp, propulsive prose, Keith weaves a dynamic post-apocalyptic thrill ride complete with compelling speculative elements, practical problem-solving, and promising mysteries, all centered on a crew of memorable characters." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "A delightful suspense atmosphere. I recommend this book to all those who like apocalyptic stories about survivalism and primitive instincts." THE ONLINE BOOK CLUB "I am a major enthusiast and expert in atmospheric flight and spaceflight, so this was a true delight to read." AFAF BEN __________________________ An event that could change the course of human history-and possibly end it. Fable Sky, the world's largest zero-pressure helium balloon, is set to embark on its inaugural flight into the stratosphere. The ambitious space tourism project has been years in the making, requiring detailed planning, the assembly of a highly trained crew, and a small fortune to bring it to fruition. As the groundbreaking journey into the uncharted stratosphere reaches its climax at 138,000 feet, disaster strikes, shattering the fragile peace below. Alone, adrift, and cut off from communication with flight control, the crew of five faces a perilous race against time, where their survival hangs in the balance. In this high-stakes adventure, the crew, led by Will, the project leader and captain, must push the limits of their ingenuity, resilience, and teamwork to endure the harsh stratospheric environment and looming catastrophe that awaits them on the ground. Will they reach safety before their oxygen supplies run out? BALLOON will leave you breathless with its breakneck action and unforgettable characters, set against the backdrop of a world forever changed.
Hope begins in the dark. But what if the dark holds a horrifying reality no one is prepared to face? Living below ground in darkness, the surviving crew members are alone and have no communication with the outside world. A simple choice awaits; sit tight and wait for a rescue that may never come or rise to face their destinies. Will and Ariane, the tough NASA research pilot, must be the ones to guide them in this choice, despite facing their own uncertainties as tensions run high between the Fable Sky crew. The new world holds secrets lurking deep beneath the rubble, but are the dangers only outside their shelter or is there a threat much closer to home? As the shadows draw in, the crew must face difficult choices, jeopardise their own humanity, and the strength of individuals must come to the fore. Balloon is a masterful, fast-paced adventure with a crisis that cannot be resolved, action that never slows down, and a world like you've never seen before.
In this third and final instalment to the genre-bending Balloon trilogy series, humanity and courage stand between survival and annihilation. As rations dwindle and graves are hastily dug, time has run out for the remaining crew. Traumatised by recent events but still alive, they must venture out into the unforgiving environment in one last desperate push to survive. They have suffered and sacrificed, and the memories of their previous lives comfort and torture them at equal turns. Once again, it comes down to Will to guide them through the dangers that inevitably lie ahead. A land of promise awaits, but first impossible decisions need to be made, and the Fable Sky crew must be prepared to pay the ultimate price. Balloon is a masterful, fast-paced adventure with a crisis that cannot be resolved, action that never slows down, and a world like you've never seen before.

In summer 2023, two innovation and technology experts moved into a Cambridge apartment with an AI called Isaac for a unique experiment. They wanted to know what life will really be like when we are all living and working with AI. This book is the result: A practical guide to working smarter with AI, using it at home, at work and in education. It's the first nonfiction book co-written by AI and humans working together - a new genre called 'AI Narratology' - and cuts through the hype to tell the real story of what mass market AI is really all about in relevant, funny and imaginative stories and diary entries by two men and their AI buddy. This is what the future holds for humans living and working in the age of AI.

The biblical Jubilee has enjoyed increasing prominence in Lukan and missional literature, much of which has been based on suggested Jubilee allusions throughout Luke-Acts (especially Luke 4:16-30). This study questions the presence of such allusions, arguing that the suggested references are better understood within the broader and more explicit tradition of the Basileia of God. Every suggested Lukan textual and thematic reference to the Jubilee is examined, with particular attention given to the Nazareth episode (Luke 4:16-30), which is often cited as the most explicit Jubilee reference. The study also addresses some fundamental issues which have informed recent exegeses, including Luke's use of the term ἄφεσις, the theme of the Basileia of God throughout Luke-Acts, and the importance of Isaiah 61 (both the first-century traditions that may have influenced Luke, as well as how Luke employed the text throughout his two-part work).

Much Ado about Culture

In Canada, the audio-visual and print industries are referred to as the cultural industries, whereas the United States calls them the entertainment industries. These language distinctions are accompanied by different domestic policies and political discourses. The United States has relatively open policies toward these activities, while Canada has adopted an inward-looking approach. Failure to integrate cultural industries into NAFTA and WTO has led to trade disputes between Canada and the United States over copyrights, television licensing, violence in media, and discriminatory magazine policy, indicating the need for an agreed-upon process for settling cultural trade disputes. Much Ado about Culture explores the differing sets of policies--cultural nationalism versus the open option--and the resulting conflicts in the context of technological developments as well as international agreements dealing with trade, investment, copyright, and labor movements. The Canadian cultural industries are examined, from film and television production and distribution to broadcasting, publishing, and sound recording. Several areas of recent conflict, such as Sports Illustrated, Country Music Television, and Borders Books, highlight the types of policies disputed, the process followed, and the conclusions reached. Finally, the authors propose an alternative approach to constraining national cultural policies by international agreement that would allow the gains from openness to be realized while serving legitimate cultural concerns.Authored by the acknowledged experts on trade disputes in the cultural arena, this book will be essential reading for international economists, policymakers, and lawyers interested in the cultural industries. Keith Acheson and Christopher Maule are Professors of Economics, Carleton University, Ontario.
