The wonderful blend of genres – SciFi love story meets thriller, with religious undertones! In 1969 Astrophysicist Dr. Horace Mitchel spent 3-years alone in a Nevada desert "Deep Underground Military Base" with what was believed to be a female, negroid-looking extraterrestrial visitor from another world. The highly classified black project was a scheduled visitation called Project Mogul. Without any supervision or oversight, they grew very close and more intimate with each other, finally discovering that their bodies were sexually compatible. They fell in love. Against protocol, she decided to give him forbidden knowledge. He received an understanding of interdimensional travel, and how to manipulate and bend the elemental laws. She even showed him the future and how the world would end and the part he must play in it. He documented every detail in his journal but decided to never completely share its contents with anyone. He feared the shockwave of anarchy that his information would create all over the world. Exactly 52 years later, Dr. Mitchel finds himself on an international government hit list, marked for death because of secrets he shouldn't know. He is the only living scientist left from Project Mogul who knows about the government's final plans for Earth and how they can be stopped. It's a secret that they want to keep hidden. Dr. Mitchel can reveal the damning truth about how this world has always had scheduled alien visitations from the beings that created it. He can expose how the governments of the world, led by the United States of America, conspired to never allow the masses to know that we are not alone and never have been. Dr. Mitchel and the twelve people who eventually join him on his journey, find themselves in the middle of a war that began long ago, a war for the very souls of mankind in this, the Last Visitation.Ver livro
Named one of Time's 100 Best Books, Ubik is a mind-bending, classic novel about the perception of reality from Philip K. Dick, the Hugo Award–winning author of The Man in the High Castle. “From the stuff of space opera, Dick spins a deeply unsettling existential horror story, a nightmare you’ll never be sure you’ve woken up from.”—Lev Grossman, Time Glen Runciter runs a lucrative business—deploying his teams of anti-psychics to corporate clients who want privacy and security from psychic spies. But when he and his top team are ambushed by a rival, he is gravely injured and placed in “half-life,” a dreamlike state of suspended animation. Soon, though, the surviving members of the team begin experiencing some strange phenomena, such as Runciter’s face appearing on coins and the world seeming to move backward in time. As consumables deteriorate and technology gets ever more primitive, the group needs to find out what is causing the shifts and what a mysterious product called Ubik has to do with it all. “More brilliant than similar experiments conducted by Pynchon or DeLillo.”—Roberto BolañoVer livro
Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. TIME AND THE GODS is the second book by Irish fantasy writer Lord Dunsany, considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula K. Le Guin, and others. It is a collection of short stories linked by Dunsany's invented pantheon of deities who dwell in Pegāna. It was preceded by his earlier collection The Gods of Pegāna and followed by some stories in The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories. Dunsany included a brief preface in the original edition and added a new introduction to the 1922 edition. "Preface" "Time and the Gods" "The Coming of the Sea" "A Legend of the Dawn" "The Vengeance of Men" "When the Gods Slept" "The King That Was Not" "The Cave of Kai" "The Sorrow of Search" "The Men of Yarnith" "For the Honour of the Gods" "Night and Morning" "Usury" "Mlideen" "The Secret of the Gods" "The South Wind" "In the Land of Time" "The Relenting of Sardinac" "The Jest of the Gods" "The Dreams of the Prophet" "The Journey of the King" The book was first published in hardcover by William Heinemann in September, 1906, and has been reprinted a number of times since. It was issued by the Modern Library in an unauthorized combined edition with The Book of Wonder under the latter's title in 1918. The book was illustrated by Dunsany's preferred artist Sidney Sime, who provided ten full-page black and white illustrations, the originals of which are still at Dunsany Castle. These were present in the 1906 and 1922 editions, not in the unauthorized collections and not in most modern reproductions. The title is thought to have been influenced by Algernon Swinburne, who wrote the line "Time and the Gods are at strife" in his 1866 poem "Hymn to Proserpine".Ver livro
The Invisible Enemy by Arnold Castle - At fifteen he was sent to war to fight an enemy he couldn't understand. But more puzzling was the victory to be won—after he met defeat! It was the day. The automobile with its three passengers moved slowly along the quiet morning street. There was no need for hurry. The boy's father was soberly recalling his own war experiences, wondering how similar Tom's would be. The mother was remembering vividly fragments of films, of facsimile reports, of forgotten conversations, envisioning her son cringing pathetically in a shallow foxhole as the penultimate weapon burst into grisly glory in the dark dawn sky. Tom's own thoughts were tense, but he managed to conceal his nervousness from his parents. "We're here, son," his father announced calmly, pulling the car up to the curb. "Dear, can't we drive around the block just once?" his mother asked, her voice almost a whisper. "We're early." "No, mom," Tom said crisply. He opened the door and stepped out onto the sidewalk. "Want us to go in, son?" "No thanks, Dad." "But we want to, Tom," his mother said. "Of course, we'll go in!" "There's no need for you to. I'm already registered," he told her. He reached out to grip his father's hand. "Tom!" his mother protested. "Don't worry about me." He kissed her hurriedly, and was relieved when his father drove away without waiting for him to start up the steps. He knew that they would worry, and he turned abruptly, forcing his attention away. The day was bright and a chill breeze swept in from the Pacific. Atop a distant hill eucalyptus glimmered in the white sunlight. Inscribed over the portal of the modest building which he now faced were the words: DEPARTMENT OF PEACE "THAT THE AGE OF VIOLENCE MAY FOREVER REMAIN HISTORY"Ver livro
