  Eight Million Dollars From Mars! by Winston Marks - Pauker had killed ten men to get eight million dollars. Now his flight to Mars would insure his safety from justice. Or would it? 
  His poise was perfect as he crossed the concourse with the highly vaulted ceiling. He moved with purpose but not in haste, his arms swinging freely, eyes straight ahead. At his heels, the squat, robot luggage-carrier dutifully followed the "bone" which he carried in his right hand. 
  At the long baggage counter, the husky, human attendant took the "bone" and led the carrier under the counter through the low passage onto a platform scale. He whistled. "That'll be $4,175.00 excess baggage," he said. 
  Pauker nodded curtly and withdrew his billfold. He laid his ticket and the currency on the counter while the attendant clipped paper tags to the handles of his four bags, broke off the stubs at the perforations, shoved the luggage off the cart onto a moving belt and replaced the "bone" in its "homing" slot. The three-wheel robot rolled off the scales, out the short tunnel under the counter and headed back for the entrance. 
  "We don't see many leather bags here," the man said pleasantly. "They weigh up too much." 
  Pauker's eyes darted to the man's face nervously as he examined the ticket and made change. Was there suspicion in the young, bland features? 
  The traveler was well aware of the extravagance of his heavy bags, and he knew that most interplanetary trippers used the lightest, flimsiest containers to remain under the 100-pound limit. At the risk of appearing conspicuous, Pauker had decided on the stronger suit-cases. There must be no chance of an accidental rupture of his luggage. Legitimate people don't haul bundles of $1,000 interplanetary bills around with them—not eight million dollars worth.

  In Geniality, the second volume of The Equilibrist Series, author Erasmus Cromwell-Smith II takes us deeper into the life and mind of Professor Cromwell-Smith and his beloved Victoria. Spanning dormitory gatherings at Harvard, clandestine mentor sessions, and unexpected crossroads of separation and reunion, this narrative unveils how true genius lies not in rarified intellect but in the authenticity and warmth of our everyday gifts. 
  Weaving together their personal struggles—Victoria’s lifelong doubts and her quest for family and belonging, and Erasmus’s years of solitary living and fear—Geniality shows us how our own “genie in a bottle” awaits discovery. Through affectionate reenactments of heartfelt meetings with an eclectic circle of wise antiquarians, librarians, and unexpected teachers, the story reveals how genius emerges in lives both ordinary and extraordinary: a resourceful cab driver, a thoughtful attorney, or even a mishap-prone illusionist. 
  In a style that is both intimate and philosophical, Cromwell-Smith invites us to question our typical notions of success, perfection, and comparison. He reminds us that we all possess areas of brilliance—born from passion, discipline, and the capacity to uplift others. With vivid anecdotes and quietly profound lessons, Geniality offers a transformative view of human potential, illuminating how we can open ourselves to everyday wonders, unearth our unique genius, and use it for the betterment of ourselves and those we love. 
  Unlock your genius. Embrace your imperfections. Discover the quiet power of geniality.

  The Emotionally Abusive Parent -...

  Anne Dryburgh

  Certified biblical counselor and long-term missionary Dr. Anne Dryburgh describes in biblical terms what secularists refer to as 'emotional abuse'. From her long experience she explains how an abusive parent relates to a child, and the impact on the child. Her book will assist you in discovering how you can live out the profound truth that in Christ you have everything, including everything for dealing with your childhood experiences. 
  How this book can help you 
  The aim of this book is to help you realize that if you have suffered parental emotional abuse, you can live in the truth that in Christ you have everything you need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3; Ephesians 1:3). In Christ you have everything, including everything for dealing with your childhood experiences. That sounds crazy when you think of the suffering you may have endured as you were growing up. It also sounds crazy when the lasting effects clearly impacted who you are, but this book will help you discover how you can live out this profound truth. We will learn what secularists refer to as emotional abuse, how to understand it biblically, what it looks like in how a parent relates to a child, and at the impact on the child. As we look at these effects, we will also look at what is true about being in Christ and how you can live on the basis of who you are in him. We will also meet Laura in several of the chapters, hear about what she suffered, and how she learned to see who she is in Christ and deal graciously with her parent. 
  What this book is not 
  Since this is a short book not every question concerning parental emotional abuse could possibly be addressed. It cannot cover every practical issue you may be facing, nor does it present all the Bible teaches on the subject since that would take a much longer book.
