Memory Island - The Future of Your World is in the Machines?

Diego Antolini

Sinopsis

David is a young man who finds himself on an island in the middle of the ocean. He doesn't remember how he got there and, through various encounters with people and events, finally realizes the island is in fact a dimensional bubble insulated from Time and Space. Most of what he sees comes directly from his subconscious, and his conscience is eventually led to the understanding of his life purpose: stopping the spreading of the Communitrons before they take all human consciousness. The Communitrons are machines that feed off the minds of their human pilots (Communauts), evolving into sentient Homo Machinas and leaving the humans as empty shells or brainless humanoids.
David manages to leave the island and returns to his time with the aid of Adam, a commonaut, and takes back his role as a futuristic version of Red Cross Official. The world in which David has returned is a huge radioactive wasteland where a few fortified Megalopolis contain the remnants of a technological human society slowly dying.
While on a rescuing mission in the wasteland David meets a special woman, Lucy, who holds the keys to understand the Island, the Communitrons, and the future of human civilization.
Through a mind-triggered, dimensional warp-hole David meets with the scientist who devised the plan who is destroying humanity.
Lucy is the Alpha Mater, the ultimate experiment of the Professor, the first Communitron who evolved taking the mind, the shape and the emotions of a human being. There is only one way to break the seemingly endless spiral of the Communitrons outspread, and that is a sacrifice that David is not willing to accept.

The Sign of Love

Barbara Cartland

Not only has the beautiful eighteen year old Bettina Charlwood lost her beloved mother but is made all but destitute by her father’s constant gambling and she has to leave the French school as her deceased Godmother had financed her fees. 
 
Now death strikes once more as her chaperone dies on the ferry from Calais to Dover in a wild storm.  And Bettina, not knowing what to do, is saved by an earnest young gentleman whose name is Lord Eustace Veston.
 
Arriving home she finds that she and her father are invited by the famous Duke of Alveston to accompany him on a trip in his luxurious yacht to Egypt with a large party for the historic Opening of the Suez Canal in 1869.
 
Another surprise awaits her when she finds that the Duke has invited his half-brother as well, whom her father hopes that she will marry.  And that half-brother is none other than her Good Samaritan at Dover, Lord Eustace Veston himself.
 
But while Bettinna finds the Duke almost impossibly handsome and awe-inspiring, Lord Eustace by contrast reveals himself to be a mean-spirited ‘do-gooder’ – and something of a bully to boot.
 
In addition he has developed a deep hatred for the Duke and he has set his heart on inheriting his title and huge fortune by any means.
 
And, despite Lord Eustace’s assumption that Bettina will happily marry him, she soon finds the magnificence, generosity and great charm of the Duke very hard to resist.
