Beschreibung

This novel revolves around Mr. Ernest Bliss, a rich young man of twenty-five. His life revolves around parties and making merry. When his digestion becomes irritated by this way of life, he visits a doctor, Sir James Aldroyd because he feels out of sorts. The physician asked him a series of questions. Bliss informs Sir James he does nothing because he is wealthy and inherited from both his father and uncle.   The doctor tells him that if wishes to enjoy good health, he must completely change his manner of living. The doctor asks him to get a real job. When the doctor refuses to shake his hand, Bliss screams angrily that he could leave that day in an old suit with five pounds in his pocket and make an honest living for a year. If he fails, he promises to pay for the construction of a new hospital. With that, the spoiled young man embarks on an adventure that will never take him outside of London but will expose him to the struggles of ordinary people to survive.

For years, the notorious raiders haunted the canyon lands of southeast Utah, terrorizing ranchers and settlers and rustling their stock.

To rustle Gabe Storey's stock was a bold and reckless undertaking, but when the raiders impulsively kidnapped the prettiest girl in Utah, they sealed their own fate. 
    Out of necessity every Utah cowboy became a bounty hunter, combing the lonely wastelands for the Desert Flower and the mysterious riders who had stolen her away.

    The theme of this book is to describe the development of a new society and civilization based on individuals understanding and developing their native spiritual and paranormal abilities, and living a longevity lifestyle. The time period is from today to a couple hundred years in the future. 
    There are also lots of conflicts with aliens, other dimensional beings and criminal organizations. Time travel is included in the story as is faster than light travel to nearby stars. There are also some actual stories in this book which really happened to me. 
    This book is based on the knowledge and experience I’ve developed over the last fifty years of my life. I would like to think the development of this type of society is a real possibility for the growth of humanity.
