All journeys have a beginning. All heroes have an origin. No one can succeed alone. On the southern edges of continental Ulandir an ancient evil roils against its bonds. Shadows creep where the light once held sway and creatures, both freshly felled and long since dead, now walk once more in thrall. Yet, this is only the preamble to T rrtha's end times. There is still a chance that catastrophe can be avoided, slim though it be. Touched by fate, and united through circumstance, a quintet of disparate individuals find themselves at the heart of this nightmare. Although each of these five are skilled in their own way, questions remain. Can they become more than what they are now? Will they surpass their limitations and overcome their demons? How can mere mortals defeat something that even the gods fear? Heroes of Thered's Field is the first book in an epic fantasy series replete with action and abounding with grit. Warning: This material contains instances of graphic violence, vulgar language, explicit sexual content, sexual assault, and other such profanities. It is intended for mature audiences. Beta Reader Reviews: Sean: "This book combines emotional characters, visceral combat, and a slight pinch of humour to tell a story that leaves me wondering what is going to happen next. This book, in contrast to many modern stories, pulls no punches in regards to the content or prose. Something that I find refreshing. Overall, I found this book to be quite an enjoyable read, like a fast-paced Game of Thrones without the intrigue." 4/5 Stars Brad: "I found this work to be captivating, as the story goes along it draws you in to the plight of its characters within this enthralling fantasy world. It left me wanting more." 4/5 Stars

As the leader of the World Community for Christian Meditation, Laurence Freeman’s calling takes him all over the world to teach and lead groups who want to practice contemplative prayer. In this spiritual travel memoir, he recounts timeless, memorable and moving stories of people, places and events in which he has encountered God ’s transformative presence. The title of the book comes from a Shakespeare sonnet and the book explores how the life of God can be found in the most unlikely places, not only in the world’s beauty but even in its tragedy. Slum priests quietly bringing hope to the favelas of Brazil, the gloriously fat stone ladies of Malta which are the world’s oldest depictions of God, the different effects of a mountain-top retreat on an investment banker, a tired social worker and a cancer patient, the impact of a child’s death on a whole community – these and many more stories movingly reveal how the sacred strains to find expression in every life, every place, every day.

In Glasgow's Kelvingrove Park, the bodies of two youths lie with bullet holes in their heads. Hungover, nicotine-starved and ill-attired, procurator fiscal Maddy Shannon attends the scene, unaware that this grim morning is about to spiral out of control. The corpses have been carefully disfigured, perhaps signs of gangland revenge or, worse, ritual slayings. Motives and suspects are hard to find. It soon becomes clear that this disturbing case will hold a mirror to the government, the church and society at large. As the gruesome complexities of the investigation multiply, the fragmented story of Maddy's immigrant ancestors - her grandfather Nono and his Great Adventure - emerges as a counterpoint to brutality and corruption. As she struggles to prove her worth against the darkest side of human nature, we discover the history and heartbreak that created this strong-willed woman. This first crime novel by versatile Scottish author Chris Dolan is written with wit and empathy, and he is unafraid to explore literary themes, making Potter's Field a work concerned as much with home and heritage as it is with violence and intrigue. It is a novel about Glasgow, told in an intimate voice with a profound knowledge of an exuberant, flawed city.

Beyond Einstein's Unified Field

Beyond Einstein's Unified Field

John Brandenburg

Adventures Unlimited Press

Veteran plasma physicist John Brandenburg reveals the new theory that finally accomplishes what Einstein failed to do: the GEM Unification Theory proves the mathematical and physical interrelation of the forces of gravity and electromagnetism This theory vindicates Einstein's dedication to unifying the fields in the final labor of his life. His quest became legendary, then mythic, until the whole idea was dismissed as myth by other physicists; the gravity-electromagnetism problem pursued by Einstein until his death became regarded like the ancient Greek problem of squaring the circle-an epic puzzle with no solution. But the other physicists were wrong, as Brandenburg shows. It turns out the fields can be unified-the circle can be squared-and this has vast implications for the future of humankind. Brandenburg starts out by tracing the evolution of thought on the two long-term forces of nature, gravity and electromagnetism, from ancient times to the modern day. He shows the intricate interweaving of Einstein's work with that of other physicists, including Sarkharov and his "zero point" theory of gravity and the hidden fifth dimension of Kaluza and Klein. He also traces the surprising, hidden influence of Nikola Tesla on Einstein's life. This book shows how, despite Einstein's errors in the details, the successful GEM Unification Theory is built on his basic hypothesis that gravity and electromagnetic forces could be unified, and that both controlled gravity and a new view of the cosmos follow: hydrogen, the basic building block of the universe, can be unified with the vacuum itself The universe is self-renewing, a sort of "evergreen cosmos." Brandenburg describes control of space-time geometry through electromagnetism, and states that faster-than-light travel will be possible in the future. Anti-gravity through electromagnetism is possible, which upholds the basic "flying saucer" design utilizing "The Tesla Vortex." A must read for any person interested in UFOs and leading-edge physics.
