The Golden tract: Concerning the Philosopher's Stone is a must-hear for any serious student of alchemy. It describes the true synthesis of the Philosopher's Stone in classic medieval alchemical symbolism. Originally published in the Musaeum Hermeticum (1625) and later translated into English by Arthur Edward Waite in his The Hermetic Museum, Vol. I (1893), this version of the text has been diligently edited and recorded by Jones so that it can be easily digested by modern listeners.

Noah Zarc rockets to Venus on a quest to discover the truth about his past. He refuses to believe his father is really the monster everyone says he is. Could there be valid reasons for everything his father’s done, including abandoning Noah at birth? Together with his two friends, a plucky girl from the Ice Age, and a street-wise kid from back alleys of Mars, Noah searches for answers to secrets everyone refuses to talk about—secrets that have remained hidden for over a thousand years. In the process, he becomes embroiled in a mystery that could have devastating consequences.

Noah Zarc has a life most kids only dream of—traveling through time on an immense spaceship, seeing the wonders of the solar system, and experiencing the vast history of Earth...before everything on the planet was destroyed. His family's mission is to repopulate Earth with life retrieved from the past. His mother and father vanish during an operation to Earth’s ancient past, and together with his brother, sister, and an orphaned girl from the Ice Age, Noah sets out on a quest through space and time to rescue his parents and bring them back to the 31st century.

As battles rage across the solar system, Noah Zarc must work to unite a rag-tag bunch of miners, farmers, and scientists who would rather just live in peace than fight a war which could set humanity back to the dark ages...if not destroy them altogether. With only a time-traveling ship full of animals and a general from the history books (who is more comfortable riding a horse than in a spaceship), the Zarc family has to stand against the full might of a highly trained army of attack-drones, and a fleet of battleships armed with enough firepower to take out an entire planet.
