Sinossi

The year was Something Something. Humans had spread like peanut butter across the galaxy, looking for new planets to call Somewhere.
One of those planets was Somewhere Five One Three.

When the humans arrive on Somewhere 513, they discover that the robots sent to prepare the planet for Humanity's arrival have chosen to keep it for themselves. Only one robot remains loyal – K1-NG, aka King of the Robots. But even with the most powerful robot on their side, the outlawed humans don't stand a chance.

Ten years on, Gnat and her sister Paige are the only humans left and have spent their lives hidden underground. Now they must venture out in search of the one robot that stood by the humans. There's just one problem – the once mighty K1-NG has vowed never to help another human for as long as he lives…

The first in a hugely original and entertaining new trilogy for middle grade readers from the award-winning author of STITCH HEAD. For fans of Maz Evans and Thomas Taylor.

Christianity Easily Explained to...

Yonghee Rhee

There are two problems with Christianity today. 
Problem one: Many church goers don't understand the big picture of Christianity. They learn a few individual puzzle pieces here and there, but they don't know what the big put together picture looks like. 
Problem two: Most Christian resources were written in the Modernist framework. They do a good job of organizing and explaining the content, but do a poor job connecting what Christianity means to today's Postmodern generation. As a result, today's audience have a hard time connecting the dots on how Christianity provides meaning to their lives. Why am I here on earth? What is the meaning to life? Do I matter? What is the purpose to my life? Not to mention, older Christian books are too hard to understand. 
By dividing Christianity into five parts - Sabbath, Sin, Justice, Jesus, Ambassadorship - I explain the big picture of Christianity and connect it to today's value system in an easy to understand way.

All One yet different - Alone...

Yashomatinandana Dasa

This book is meant to raise the individual consciousness to uplift human society, for a happy and spiritually engaged life. Simultaneously, I wanted to share the findings of ancient Vedic wisdom as a philosophical guide to modern seekers of truth. Hereby, I'm presenting acintya bheda-abheda tattva, the philosophical truth (tattva) of simultaneous oneness (bheda) and variety (abheda), which is inconceivable (acintya). 
Therefore, I'm praying to please my spiritual teachers with the aim to reach the seekers, yogis, spiritualists, curious and you personally, to discuss findings from ten years of searching the world for this truth.

Signs and Wonders - Tales from...

Bernard Evslin

Entertaining, thought-provoking depictions of classic Bible stories Renowned mythologist Bernard Evslin finds a powerful balance of tradition and modernity in his strongly realized retellings of Old Testament stories. His rendition reflects the literary style of the King James Bible and stays true to the Old Testament worldview and spirit—but also uses streamlined descriptions and dialogue, to balance the archaic language that can deter contemporary readers. Here you’ll find fresh versions of the iconic stories of Adam and Eve; Lot’s daughters; Jacob’s ladder; David and Goliath; Rebecca at the well; the twin brothers Jacob and Esau; and more, in a style that engages both the senses and the imagination.
