As the U. S. S. Titan ventures beyond the outermost reaches of known space, the telepaths in her crew—including Diplomatic Officer Donna Troi—are overwhelmed by an alien cry of distress, leading the ship to the scene of a shocking act of carnage: a civilazation of insterstellar “whalers” preying upon and exploiting a familiar species of sentient spacebource giants. Appalled but reluctant to rush to judgement, Captain William Riker and his crew in investigate, discovering a cosmic spawning ground in a region of active star formation—the exosystem for a bewildering array of diverse but similarly vast life-forms. While attempting to negotiate an end to the victimizeation of these creatures, Riker’s crew inadvertently grants them the means to defeat their hunters’ purpose…only to learn that things are not exactly as they seem.
A fictional story set in set in a non-fictional, however often controversial account of the history of the world, Child of Orion mines the planet's past to reveal its abiding, eternal truths. Anyone fascinated by the history of the world and its people-from the ages of eight to eighty and in any country-will find a revelatory read in this stirring work of historical creative non-fiction. In the story, a fictional tribe in Asia crosses the Bering Sea during the last Ice Age. The tribe's leader, Etok, who brought the Oshons to the Americas, appears in the story over the arc of centuries, in succeeding generations for 15,000 years that represent a transition from Asian to American Indian. The Oshons are patterned after the Clovis Indians, about whom little is known other than their unique method of creating knives and spears. When aliens from another world establish three great, civilized city states on Earth, they begin to include earthlings. After a brief flurry of wars with the more hostile inhabitants of Earth, an idealist era reigns, during which peace and plenty exist almost everywhere on earth for two thousand years. As the aliens intermarry with the Earth inhabitants, the peaceful nature and compassion of the original aliens is diluted and the great powers are soon at war. The outcome of this war is never determined, because in the midst of the war earth is struck by a natural disaster of global proportions. All of the civilized states and most of the people of earth are destroyed. The few survivors who lived in the center of continents and high in the mountains are left to struggle to survive and repopulate the planet. Compressing 15,000 years of history into less than 50,000 words, Child of Orion seeks to uncover the enigmas of this planet by relating the author's account of the true history of the world, as established by Kaut's forty years of study and discovery. Surprising and hopeful, it provides a taste of history seldom taught in the classroom that is wrapped in a wealth of knowledge of ancient man and the planet he inhabited. It is certain to shed shimmering new light on the human experience, and set anyone on the course for greater truth.

Mirrors of Orion: Star Knowledge of the Ancient World
Gary A. David
Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2014

The phrase "As above, so below" is attributed to the Egyptian god of wisdom named Thoth. This echoes the biblical expression "on earth as it is in heaven." Many diverse ancient cultures have erected sacred cities, pyramids, standing stones, or temples in order to mirror the stars. In particular the constellation Orion has been repeatedly projected as a talismanic pattern on numerous landscapes around the world. This book describes the sky-ground templates of Egypt, the American Southwest, Mexico, Nazca, the UK, Europe, Syria, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, and other regions. It also discusses the celestial rituals of the Mithras cult, the Age of Taurus, the Sirius cosmology of the Dogon, and South African rock art. This essential archaeo-astronomy primer expands the star correlation theory to encompass the entire globe. Packed with nearly 225 photos, drawings, diagrams, maps, and star charts. "As above, so below. The parallels Gary David has found between the ancient Egyptian sky-ground system involving the pyramids of Giza and the constellation of Orion, and a similar project to build heaven on earth by the Hopi of Arizona, are eerie, compelling and deeply thought-provoking." -Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods "Gary David's work is a treasure of enormous importance." -William Henry, author of Lost Secrets of the Watchers "The correlation Mr. David makes between the Hopi and Egyptian 'sky-view' is most interesting." -Robert Bauval, author of The Orion Mystery "...a must-read for pre-Columbian aficionados and aspiring anthropologists alike." -Ross Hamilton, author of Star Mounds From the INTRODUCTION: This book is a survey of the archaeo-astronomy of various cultures around the globe. How did ancient people conceptualize the heavens? What was their notion of the cosmos? How did their sacred ceremonies or ritual enactments bring them closer to the omnipotent or at least very powerful celestial beings? What structures, temples, or standing stones did they erect to create models of the sky realm? By its very nature this book is extensive rather than intensive, allowing the reader to pursue further areas of special cultural interest. In essence, it is a primer for the concept of sky-ground mirrors-the terra firmament, so to speak. Well-known constellation correlations, such as the Orion-Giza schema, join newly discovered sidereal correspondences, such as those in Syria and Nigeria. Ancient people comprehended the language of the stars much better than we do today, despite our Hubble Space Telescope and Very Large Array. If we can translate the encoded messages from the celestial dimension to understand what these time-traveling pinpoints of light are endeavoring to tell us, then we will realize the complexity and depths of our past knowledge of a truly living cosmos. We will ultimately find that spirit and matter are a single continuum extending far into our future-mirror reflecting mirror down the sacred portal that leads to Orion.

No longer content to inhabit one host at a time, the Grendel entity goes viral, in this new phase of Matt Wagner's epic, which spans centuries and culminates in the rise of a new kind of host: the Grendel-Khan As the Grendel cycle transitions into the far future, artists Tim Sale, John K. Snyder, Jay Geldhof, and Hannibal King join creator Matt Wagner for the most ambitious phase to date. From the broken world of the "Incubation Years" rise parallel figures: the corruption-fighting Orion Assante and a mysterious new Grendel. Each wages his own war against Pope Innocent XLII, in God and the Devil, and the aftermath establishes the most powerful Grendel yet, in Devil's Reign, with Matt Wagner rewriting the rules of comics storytelling at every turn in this highly charged political drama. With over five hundred pages of visionary writing and breathtaking art, the Grendel Omnibus series takes readers deeper into Wagner's timeless classic
