According to history as we know it, Apollo 17 was the last manned mission to the Moon. However, the truth may be far different. When Luna 12 was launched, it captured some of the first photos of the lunar surface and within those, a grainy image appeared, which was confirmed by future Apollo missions as being an archaeological site of incredible interest to mankind. Amidst a veil of secrecy, the US and the Soviets conspired to explore the location at any cost, sending a team to the Moon, to excavate, document and retrieve artifacts of great value. In 1975, using the Apollo/Soyuz mission as ...

Major Brooks turned to Hannah and ordered her to look away while covering her eyes. Neither of them had vision protection, so as they turned from the window, they used their hands to cover their eyes while facing the rear of the command module. The light from a nuclear explosion could be blinding. A human required a full thirtieth of a second to register motion and within a tenth of a second, there was a flash so intense that Hannah could still perceive the light through her hands and eyelids before it slowly faded away. Then looking out the port hole she saw a large cloud rising from the ...

The greatest gift a man can ever receive is an understanding of the limits of his capabilities. Inside every human resides the urge to be the master of his environment, pitting inner strength and intellectual power against the raw forces of nature.

When a group of explorers set out to prove that establishing a colony on Trappist-1e is the divine will of their creator, they begin farming a small plot of land on the shore of that distant world. When circumstances change, they’re forced to return home early, which means they must ...

When we hear the word "paranormal," our interest often peaks because we are curious about things we don’t understand. If we’re being honest, when we hear about psychic powers or ghost hunting, we’re inquisitive as to whether we have such powers or wonder what waits for us on the other side of life. The concept of talking with the dead or a good ghost story may privately intrigue us, even if we express our total disbelief to everyone around us. When we consider the “power” of things like telepathy, telekinesis, “pre” and “post” cognition, remote viewing, psychometry or any ...

It was a world of innocence and play, for these last children of the baby boomer years, yet their world was rapidly changing around them and at the heart of it all was the values and character of the generation that raised them.

It is told from the perspective of a child in a story that will make you laugh, cry and force you to ...

The voice in his head tells him that “A good man returns to ill-fated dreams time and time again if for no other reason than to shake the cornerstones of destiny. The fortunes of the fated rely not only on the external, but on the inner workings of serendipity, driven by the heart, yet forged of mindful will.” This voice is the voice of his master, educating him on what it takes to be a person (robot) of value. The voice continues: “While the soul is born of both heart and mind it cannot survive one without the other and not fall prey to the bitterness of ignorance or the tragedy of ...

I first got the idea to write this book as I talked with my father during his last days. He often complained that time seemed to be speeding up, and the older he got, the faster it seemed to go. He expressed amazement that his entire life seemed like one second and now. He wasn’t complaining. He’d lived a magic life, but from his perspective, he arrived at the end of it almost instantaneously. The more I thought about it, the more this made sense and when I considered the nature of time, I started assembling a theory that fit with biblical principles without ignoring the facts of ...

“The most important moral questions in our lives are the questions we fear the most, and until we have the courage to stand up and acknowledge them, we can never truly become the people we are meant to be.” There are moments in our lives, when the best and worst of times coincide with the discovery of choices we never knew existed. Only when we are ready to face those difficult questions, can we come to terms with making decisions that require a sacrificial love, combined with a high personal price. When a single criminal event intrudes on the lives of Todd and his friends, another boy ...

Traveling forward, he arrived and departed several storm zones and he watched as Proxima dropped lower and lower on the horizon, setting before his eyes and as he approached the termination between day and night, the shadows grew long and dark and he knew that a great change was coming. Looking back he saw the patient calm of a never-ending day, but looking forward, a massive storm raged like a hurricane as the warmer air from the star facing side raced toward the dark side, where it condensed and shrunk in a continual process of atmospheric transference. “SM1” is the last of a series ...

The term “alien” has many definitions ranging from the exotic to that which is literally out of this world. This includes anything that differs in nature or character, even unto the point of being incompatible. If both science and Christians believe that matter, everything in our universe came from nothing, then our ideas are not as incompatible as we might otherwise believe. Our universe is full of mysteries and we don’t know what’s out there but we’re learning. This book combines science with biblical teaching to answer the basic question of who we are and how we came to be. ...
