The sixth novel in the Tales of Lentari series, by best-selling author Jeffrey M. Poole. Steve and Sarah Miller have protected royalty, fought foreign invaders, and defeated evil sorceresses. Respected by the Lentarian King and Queen, they both possessed magical powers that would make a wizard turn green with envy. Now, however, all Steve and Sarah want to do is take a nice, quiet vacation together. It wasn't meant to be. When Sarah receives a distress call she can't refuse, from a species she never knew lived in Lentari, she soon realizes more is at stake than a simple plea for help. In order to prevent a catastrophe from happening, husband and wife must locate something no one has heard of, journey to a land where no human has ever tread, and procure something no one can seem to find, all within a dangerously short amount of time. High flying adventure, encounters with griffins, and a brush with an omnipotent elemental. This was shaping up to be one vacation they would never forget! Discover what adventures are waiting for Steve and Sarah by purchasing your copy today!

Sarah Miller’s sleep is interrupted by the most vivid dream she’s ever experienced when she is taken to the magical island of Dynwe, the home world of the Fae. And the news isn’t good. The legendary faeries are dying, their whole civilization threatened unless they receive outside help. And that help can only be brought by someone able to teleport quickly to a mystical land and return with the petals of the golden orbsceia flower. That person is Sarah. She describes the experience to her husband Steve, and they realize this was no dream. It will break Sarah’s heart to deny the lovely Fae people, and even though they have no clue what they are doing or how much danger lies ahead, they take on the assignment. Time is crucial—the Tree that provides life to the Fae king and queen is practically dying by the minute. They consult the king of Lentari and the two most powerful wizards in the land, to learn how to begin the most difficult quest of their lives in this terrifying race against the clock. Newly edited and re-released! * * * Praise for Jeffrey Poole’s epic fantasy novels: “I loved this book. It had so much imagination to it. Great for young and old.” - D. Estrada “There's adventure & a little humor and all the characters are just right. “ - Happy2Day “I especially liked that this story revolved around a husband and wife team, rather than being the typical “hero's journey” of an adolescent boy.” - M.L. “… plenty of action, adventure, and romance, but is harmless enough for pre-teens to read; it is a well-told tale.” – 5 stars on Amazon “If you love wizards, dragons, griffins & such, you have got to read the Bakkian Chronicles!” – 5 stars online review

For many, Close Encounters of the Third Kind (CE3K) is not so much a movie as a religious experience. On its release in 1977, CE3K virtually redefined the science fiction film, shifting it away from spaceships, laser guns, and bug-eyed monsters into a modified form of science fiction that John Wyndham once called ‘logical fantasy’. What would it be like if extra-terrestrials made contact with people on Earth? How would it feel? Like 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Steven Spielberg’s primary inspiration, CE3K is concerned with mankind’s evolution towards the stars, towards a state of transcendence. But Spielberg’s vision hinges not so much on cool scientific intellect being the key to our next stage of evolution, as on the necessary development of emotional intelligence. To that end, we must regain our childlike curiosity for what lies beyond the skies, we must recover our capacity to experience wonder. Intensity of emotion is inherent to the film’s meaning, and the aim of this book is to explore this in detail. Along the way it delves into the film’s production history, explores Spielberg’s remarkable cinematic realisation of the film (including a comparison study of the three different release versions), and considers in detail how CE3K fits into the Spielberg oeuvre.

¿Cómo cambiaría nuestra forma de ver el mundo si nos planteásemos que todos los estamentos de la sociedad serán pronto abolidos? ¿Veríamos la vida de la misma forma si diéramos lugar a la idea de que nuestra historia ha estado ligada a influencias que no son de este mundo? “Armagedón, Encuentros Cercanos en la Quinta Fase” es una obra que no pasará desapercibida, mucho menos delante de los acontecimientos que están ocurriendo, aunque el mundo no esté al tanto de ellos -porque está siendo distraído. Hablamos de un cambio a escala planetaria en la conciencia humana y del sistema de vida que tenemos, el destape de grandes y sumamente relevantes mentiras que han mantenido engañado al hombre del siglo XXI, y así mismo el inicio de una existencia libre, sólo posible tras una guerra sin precedentes. Nuestro mundo está a punto de tener los cambios más significativos de toda la historia humana, desde que se tiene constancia de ella. La vida extraterrestre es una realidad, tal como lo es el hecho de que sabremos toda la verdad sobre la vida fuera de la Tierra y los misterios del universo en esta década. El Nuevo Orden Mundial, del cual pocos han oído hablar -aún a estas alturas y con el terreno ya ganado por esos psicópatas en todos los medios globales- no conseguirá sus fines de eliminación poblacional y control totalitario, aunque conseguirán por un periodo muy breve de tiempo muchas de sus agendas. Toda la humanidad está al borde de un cambio de paradigma, no sin antes presenciar la experiencia de la vida extraterrestre inteligente, un mundo dominado por las corporaciones, dueños de la banca y de los oleoductos. Entonces el cambio será radical y no dejará lugar a dudas a más cuestionamientos, suposiciones o teorías sobre el origen del hombre y de la vida fuera de nuestro orbe azul; de igual modo que no habrá más medias tintas sobre el conocimiento y realidad de la existencia de Jesucristo, no como una religión sino como una realidad. Esta será una verdad inamovible que no está sujeta –ni nunca lo ha estado- a religiones, ni a dogmas, ni a espiritualismo, ni a teorías conspiratorias, ni a ciencia ficción, ni a fábulas, ni a cualquier otra creencia abstracta, sino al modernismo de esta centuria y a la revolución mundial que hoy nos atañe. Parece difícil reconciliar la imagen de aquel carpintero que fue clavado en una cruz junto con la ciencia, pero recordemos que los estamentos religiosos que conocemos son relativamente recientes y no fueron impuestos por Jesucristo. Sus enseñanzas aparecieron sobre el 26 y/o el 33 d.C. aprox., en cambio las posteriores fueron ciertamente tardías: Catolicismo (325 d.C.), Islam (600 d.C.), Protestantismo (inicios del siglo XIV) Mormonismo (mediados de 1800 d.C.), Testigos de Jehová (1870), etc. En otras palabras, las enseñanzas de Jesús no estuvieron sujetas a religiones “cristianas”, ya que estas se crearon en nombre de él siglos después, mayormente con fines lucrativos o de control de masas. Tengamos presente, antes que nada, que todas las profecías, que han venido de parte de Dios, hasta su momento se han cumplido y nada sugiere que las que aún han de cumplirse dejen de tener lugar; mucho menos cuando estamos viviendo las concisas advertencias que hicieron hombres modelo en tiempos antiguos, y además con lujo de detalles. Así que tenemos que citar a hombres de otrora para ver cómo se han dado los hechos que anunciaron y qué otros acontecimientos han de tener lugar en nuestra década y en los años que precederán nuestra era. Ciertamente cada vez podemos ver más cerca un final de esta edad y el inicio de una nueva historia para la civilización humana. Un cambio que se palpa y comenta en todos los círculos sociales y culturales. Este cambio viene acompañado de mucha incertidumbre, dudas sobre cómo será ese desenlace final y qué ocurrirá después de ello. La historia de nuestra raza se ha visto constantemente salpicada por grandes extinciones, donde nuestros antecesores han sido diezmados, eliminados tácitamente por sucesos catastróficos que han dado origen a nuevos eones. Así se ha visto en lejanas edades desde la prehistoria y así se ve hoy, muy próximos a experimentar eventos nunca antes vistos en ninguna etapa anterior de nuestro devenir como civilización. Como hijos de la Tierra hemos de conocer los hechos que han modelado nuestro presente y que han colocado a nuestra raza en el borde del colapso y de la aparente auto-extinción. Tenemos que ser conscientes de que tal como la arqueología nos sirve para revelar los acontecimientos de antaño, también han existido desde otrora métodos para vaticinar el tiempo por venir, y éstos han marcado hechos memorables en el registro histórico. Nosotros los llamamos “profecías”, y si bien, desde tiempos de la Grecia clásica los helenos consultaban el polémico oráculo de Delfos, el que se cree era el más preciso de todos, aunque se especuló que alguna vez se equivocó (más bien diríamos que dijo lo que sus consultores debían saber).

(Applause Books). "Morton has written the definitive book on this innovative movie by Steven Spielberg...Meticulous research of this caliber is not found in other books on Close Encounters . Fans will find Morton's take informative and fascinating." Library Journal . Steven Spielberg's 1977 masterpiece used all of the power and magic of cinema to tell a story of man's first meeting with extraterrestrial beings. Renouncing the fear and pessimism of the day, writer/director Spielberg boldly envisioned this as a peaceful, spiritual event full of hope and possibility. This awe-inspiring message made a powerful impact on audiences desperate for something to believe in. The film was a massive box-office hit and revolutionized the movie industry; along with Star Wars , it helped to create the modern blockbuster and ushered in a new era of hi-tech effects. Based on in-depth research and the recollections of many of the film's principal creators, Close Encounters is the first book to chronicle the making of this classic film from its inception through its tumultuous production to its many releases in "special" editions. The book features new interviews with star Teri Garr, producer Michael Phillips, photographic effects supervisor Douglas Trumbull, production designer Joe Alves, and several cinematographers, screenwriters, and special-effects legends. John Hill, Jerry Belson, Hal Barwood, and Matthew Robbins; and special effects legends Richard Yuricich, Robert Swarthe, Dennis Muren, Scott Squires, Greg Jein, and Rocco Gioffre.

From a journalist specializing in conspiracy theories, an examination of mysterious deaths and missing persons related to sightings of UFO phenomena. Everyone has heard of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But what about close encounters of the fatal kind? The field of UFOs is rife with unsettling examples of suspicious deaths. Accounts of accidents that might not have been accidents after all, abound. Researchers and witnesses have vanished, never to be seen again. Conveniently timed heart attacks are reported. Out-of-the-blue suicides that, upon investigation, bear the distinct hallmarks of murder, are all too common. And grisly deaths at the hands of both extraterrestrials and government agents have occurred. Highlights of Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind include: The strange saga of the incredible melting man The UFO-related death of the first U.S. Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal The mysterious disappearances of military pilots and their connection to UFOs The connections between national security and the sudden deaths of UFO investigators Getting too close to the cosmic truth about alien abductions Roswell, and what the government really knows about UFOs can—clearly—be a deadly business The government’s latest admission of the existence of Area 51 is barely the tip of a very big iceberg.

Currently, science fiction in all its forms is enjoying enormous popular interest. There can be no doubt that science fiction books and films have great influence on the public view of science and scientists. Close Encounters? examines the historical development of science fiction as a genre in books and films, tracing its roots, examining its most common ideas, exploring its relationship to "real" science, and attempting to assess its cultural impact. Discussion focuses on major themes such as time travel, politics, religion, ecology, and disasters. The authors consider the science in science fiction, the images of scientists that science fiction conveys, and some of the political, religious, and social motifs prominent in science fiction. They also discuss pseudo-science and its growing influence on the public perception of science. This fascinating, thought-provoking study should be read by all those interested in how the nature of science and its role in our society is portrayed in science fiction.

Before the breakthrough of postcolonial studies, British science-fiction authors already saw the opportunity to discuss political and ethical issues of imperialism by projecting human history and behavior onto the alien 'Other.' In this thesis, the case studies of 15 novels of alien-encounter science fiction illuminate the treatment of colonial and postcolonial concepts - such as colonialism, neo-colonialism, Empire, paternalism, hybridity, mimicry and science and technology - as a means of conquest and resistance. The analysis also shows that the Empire is still a vital background for British science fiction. Thesis. (Series: Anglistik / Amerikanistik; English / American Studies - Vol. 35)

"[P.D. Ouspensky's] yearning for a transcendent, timeless reality—one that cancels out physical disintegration and death—figures into science at some fundamental level. Einstein found solace in his theory of relativity, which suggested to him that events are ever-present in the space-time continuum. When his friend Michele Besso passed on shortly before his own death, he wrote: 'For us believing physicists the distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion, even if a stubborn one.'" —from Magic, Mystery, and Science The triumph of science would appear to have routed all other explanations of reality. No longer does astrology or alchemy or magic have the power to explain the world to us. Yet at one time each of these systems of belief, like religion, helped shed light on what was dark to our understanding. Nor have the occult arts disappeared. We humans have a need for mystery and a sense of the infinite. Magic, Mystery, and Science presents the occult as a "third stream" of belief, as important to the shaping of Western civilization as Greek rationalism or Judeo-Christianity. The occult seeks explanations in a world that is living and intelligent—quite unlike the one supposed by science. By taking these beliefs seriously, while keeping an eye on science, this book aims to capture some of the power of the occult. Readers will discover that the occult has a long history that reaches back to Babylonia and ancient Egypt. It proceeds alongside, and frequently mingles with, religion and science. From the Egyptian Book of the Dead to New Age beliefs, from Plato to Adolf Hitler, occult ways of knowing have been used—and hideously abused—to explain a world that still tempts us with the knowledge of its dark secrets.

Step into an enchanting world of magic and mayhem with the Witch Against Wicked series, a fun filled, fast-paced contemporary fantasy series that blends paranormal women’s fiction with supernatural mystery. If you like twisty mysteries and suspenseful stories, starring witty witches with a charming ensemble of supernatural friends, set in a quirky small town, then you’ll love this series. This boxset includes: A Maze of Murder Belinda Drake is a witch with a passion for mysteries, an addiction to chocolate, and a penchant for keeping to herself. In her new life running a bookstore in the small mountain village of Blackthorn Springs, she’s got everything she needs, even if she is the world’s most incompetent witch. When her neighbor turns up dead, Belinda recognizes the Mortis Curse, one of the most evil spells known to witchkind, and the life she left behind starts knocking at her door. Now she must find the killer before her new found peaceful existence descends into a darkness she swore to turn her back on. A Mask of Chaos With her magic on the rise and business improving, life is finally looking shiny for Belinda Drake. Even if she can’t exactly figure out where she stands on the romance side of things. But when people in town start acting strangely, together with a string of strange robberies, Belinda begins to suspect a sinister force lurks beneath the peaceful surface of Blackthorn Springs. A Trial of Ghosts The whimsical mountain village of Blackthorn Springs is the perfect place for Belinda Drake to finally settle into a quiet, comfortable life filled with love, magic, books, and too much chocolate. But when people start turning up dead, the supernatural community of Blackthorn Springs faces the firing line, and the true nature of the seemingly peaceful town is revealed. A Wreath of Ruin Christmas in Blackthorn Springs means food, friends, and Belinda Drake's special brand of magical mayhem. Belinda Drake has big plans to make this the best Christmas ever for her and Conri, and she doesn’t want to use a single drop of her new magic to pull it off. When culinary catastrophe strikes, Belinda and Conri end up spending the holiday with Lila’s family, including Lila’s grandmother, who’s not at all like Lila had built her up to be. Is Gran just a little bit strange, or is something supernatural threatening Christmas? A Hex of Wolves Life is tricky for Belinda Drake, what with her nemesis, Rowan Jackfort back in town, and her bookstore closing in on financial ruin, but at least she still has her friends, her cantankerous feline familiar, and her boyfriend, Blackthorn Springs’ hottest non-practicing werewolf, Conri O’Farrell. But when a sexy werewolf woman turns up in town, Belinda’s life spirals out of control as she learns the man she has been happily spending her life with is not the man she thought he was. A Trick of Terror As much as Belinda Drake loves Halloween, the traditional Blackthorn Springs Scarecrow Festival is just too much for this witch. Besides, with her new and unwelcome magical powers to deal with, Belinda has enough worry without adding a town full of creepy scarecrows into the mix. But while Belinda tries to hide away from the festivities, trouble comes looking for her. A Coven of Demons As strange blizzards hold Blackthorn Springs in an icy grip, Belinda Drake can't shake the feeling that something isn't right, even beyond her usual world of witchy magical mayhem. With the arrival of a dangerous stranger, Belinda is thrown headlong into a war between two evil covens, both of them seeking the Serpent's Disc, the key to Belinda's power.
