Danger is like jello...there's always room for a little more. It's April 2043 and the seedy side of post-World War III New San Francisco is a radioactive dive, but P.I. Tex Murphy calls it home. With business slow, money tight and the women in Tex's life shipping out, this private dick is singing the lonesome gumshoe blues. Until one night at the Brew & Stew diner... A mysterious old gent hires Tex to find a friend who's gone missing. It doesn't seem like much of a case at first, but with a generous retainer of cash and Cubana cigars, that's fine by Tex. Unfortunately, he's never been very good at staying out of trouble and it doesn't take long for him to find some. There's a drop-dead gorgeous nightclub singer who may end up just plain dead...a serial killer who supposedly committed suicide a year earlier...and a package sent from the missing man, containing a Chinese puzzle box that no one can seem to open.

What does the puzzle box contain? Why is the most powerful agency in the U.S. government hunting down the missing man? And can Tex find him before they do? The stakes are high, the deck is stacked and, as always, Tex Murphy is low on chips. But with his excellent bluffing skills and occasional lucky streaks, he just might have a fighting chance. Pandora's Box has been reopened. Can Tex close it before it's too late?

This book is about building craft for space travel-space travel not in the far distant future, but in the immediate future. There is no question that we have the technology to build and power a large craft capable of traversing the galaxy, and for now, this book will focus on achieving the goal of intragalactic travel. We will describe various methods of power generation and propulsion, delineate the materials and technology for construction, discuss the building of the spacecraft from the outside-in, and show what is required to sustain life on the craft for extended periods of time. While we will go into some detail on each of these, pointing out advantages and disadvantages to components and methods, this is not, nor is it intended to be, a highly technical book to be used by specialists. Rather, it is intended to inform the general readership about what is possible, and perhaps what is not, in building and operating spacecraft for long-distance and long-duration travel with current and available means.
There will be moments in your life in which social connections will be made with individuals - do not take these connections for granted. Inevitably, these connections will be lost with time and conflicting ideologies - do not abhor those individuals. Rarely, what will secede is solitary confinement. In which case, you become a victim of what you've subjugated others to - you become your own best friend, your own advisor, your own worst enemy and, consequently, your own leader. Ultimately, you become your own individual divided into independently varying counterparts. Find the medium in which these counterparts may coexist. Once you've found this equilibrium, notify me of your revelation. I dedicate this book to your escapade.

Sneak PeakThe form that thou hast fashioned out of clay Is of the earth and mortal; but the spirit, The life, the exhalation of my breath, Is of diviner essence and immortal. The gods shall shower on her their benefactions, She shall possess all gifts; the gift of song, The gift of eloquence, the gift of beauty, The fascination and the nameless charm That shall lead all men captive.
