The Greenfall Nexus - A Biopunk Thriller of Earth's Last Forest

Vanessa Steele

Sinopse

2077: Humanity huddles in gleaming megacities, shielded from the ravaged Earth by shimmering domes. Outside, a desolate wasteland stretches… except for the Greenfall, the Amazon Basin, a bioluminescent jewel pulsing with a forgotten magic.  This last rainforest holds a secret, one that could be our salvation or our doom.Dr. Vivian Holloway, a brilliant but disillusioned botanist working for the monolithic GenTech corporation, is sent to investigate a deadly toxin emanating from the Greenfall’s depths – the Verdant’s Curse.  But what she discovers is far more profound than a mere disease. Deep within the rainforest, ancient, sentient trees, the Whispering Ancients, communicate a desperate plea: a choice between humanity's survival and the preservation of the Greenfall.Torn between her loyalty to GenTech and a burgeoning connection with the sentient forest, Vivian is thrust into a maelstrom of corporate greed and ecological terrorism.  The Verdant Guard, led by Jerry Craig, Marcus Craig's estranged brother, fights fiercely to protect the Greenfall, convinced of its sacred power.  Monique Haas, a ruthless GenTech security operative, shadows Vivian, determined to suppress any threat to the company’s agenda.  Caught between these warring factions, Vivian must unravel a web of deceit, uncover GenTech's sinister plot to weaponize the forest, and decipher the Ancients’ cryptic message before time runs out.As the Verdant's Curse tightens its grip on the domed cities, Vivian races to find a solution, a path toward symbiosis, a way for humanity to coexist with nature.  But the Ancients' wisdom demands a sacrifice: a return to a simpler existence, a life outside the protective domes, a prospect that terrifies a populace accustomed to artificial comfort. In a final, desperate confrontation at the heart of the Greenfall, Vivian must make a choice that will determine the fate of both humanity and the last forest on Earth.  The Greenfall Nexus is a biopunk thriller that will leave you breathless, a powerful exploration of our relationship with nature and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

The Resident Patient

Arthur Conan Doyle

The Adventure of the Resident Patient, one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Resident Patient" eighteenth in a list of his nineteen favourite Sherlock Holmes stories....A little digging at police headquarters brings up the rest of the truth. All four of the men were once members of a criminal gang that robbed banks. Blessington's real name was Sutton, and the other three, two of whom played the Russians, were Biddle, Hayward, and Moffat. After robbing the Worthington Bank of £7,000 in 1875, Blessington (or Sutton) had turned informer, and as a result, another gang member, Cartwright, had been hanged for murdering the caretaker, and the other three had each been given 15 years in prison. Blessington's "paranoia" was indeed a very real fear, caused by news of their early release, not by some burglary, as he claimed. The murderers chose hanging as their form of execution to avenge Cartwright...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.
