Resumen del Editor

As the image on the holoscreen comes into focus, Kalar wonders how many more mornings he has left waking to a terranian sunrise. Kalar Dien, a 31-year-old holophysicist in New America in the year 2080, takes us on a journey with his sister Charin, his friend and coworker Ben Adams, and a myriad of characters when they are commissioned by his employer and eventually the government to assist in thwarting a threat to life on Terra.

Terranian Sunrise. This book is from my imagination and the result of over 20 years of musings and writings while sitting on the beach in the summertime in Ocean City, MD, and Bethany Beach, DE.

My name is Bill Dickson. I am an entrepreneur and am currently living in the Bethany Beach area of Delaware. As well as fiction and nonfiction book writing, I am also a musician and composer and have recorded, produced, and published five music CDs to date. This book has been a part of me for many years. It started off one summer as a seed of an idea, and I returned to it each summer only to lose the first half about 10 years ago. I then decided to return to the writing, trying to pick up where I thought I had left off. Then I found the original first half and found that I was close but had forgotten some details. I merged the two parts, edited and revised the manuscript, and continued. I finished the book at the end of the summer of 2016 and am happy to arrive at the end of the beginning of a series. The hardest part was to arrive at an ending for this first of at least three books. I sincerely hope you, the listener, will enjoy the journey.

Here is a little background on the characters and the nature of the world in which they exist. The main character is Kalar Dien (pronounced Kay Lar Dean). He is a scientist, specifically a holophysicist. A holophysicist deals with the nature of holograms and the development of holograms for use as technological aids and media. His sister Charin (pronounced Chair-in) is about three years older and is the leader of a church named Chryslyx. The year is 2080, and in many ways, it is similar to our present time. The story follows Kalar's life as he enters the corporate world and is pulled into governmental and world security matters.

When I began writing this book the year was 1994. I am a little taken aback by how many of the technological as well as political similarities have unfolded. I graduated college in 1992 with a degree in philosophy, and I am sure my life experiences, as well as my education have a great deal to do with what my vision of the future is to be. Although some of the prophetic musings have come to be already, only time will tell how truly prophetic the rest of the story unfolds.
