Were experiencing a shift of the medical paradigm away from our natural world. By the end of this century our species will hardly be recognizable. Only a trace similar to our ancestors, a dramatic alteration of our offspring is already calculable, for within ten years our progeny will be of a genetically modified species. Because of the rapid rise in technology and with the coalescence of medicine, science, and synthetic biology, during our lifetime everyone could become cyborgs. Enhanced humans will be robust and will have superior intellect, capable of creating wondrous inventions. Beholden to a cloaked emissary from deep space one who molds superheroes the new human will no longer need God because every person will become a god. Were permanently altering the species made in Gods image, from neural prosthetics to human and animal chimeras. Based on the model of logical extension in both medical possibilities and prophetic probabilities, an unrestrained revolution is upon us, producing hybrids of species while destruction of the human race escalates. Alastairs odyssey projects a complex field of ideas, leaping over the stereotypical genre. The result is unprecedented in its Christian speculative category with its cutting-edge scientific and medical effusion.

Languages : en
Pages : 514
Book Description
This story gives opportunity to explore end-times beliefs, and, hopefully, to examine some of those previously accepted as fact. You might think such an inquest predictably boring, for over the centuries the Church has repeated unaltered doctrinal beliefs regarding eschatology. It has been at times a subject largely ignored, or left for theologians to debate. And throughout history the study has had little variation, so any different interpretation to that which has already been laid out might seem heretical. But we are called out, for we are on the other side of this partition of Church history, awakening to what our departed brothers and sisters of this world were kept from viewing. It was all in God’s plan, but now there is a purpose for us to recognize the unveiling that has just begun. And the facts, as they now are discerned, must be identified and communicated. And it may seem surreal to view Biblical verses regarding our future, of which there are hundreds, with our highly technical and scientific world announcements. We may see there is not much difference in this juxtaposition. MIT’s Cheetah robot, and many other advanced robots, such as the Atlas humanoid of Boston Dynamics, are of varying appearance and are partially autonomous. “We developed the first robots that ran and maneuvered like animals,” a web quote from Boston Dynamics states. “And the shapes of the locusts are like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.” Revelation 9:7. What about moving sacred scriptural accounts from ancient realms of geography and human history into our vision of magnification with clarity and comprehension? Is there proof to substantiate the use of the Islamic prophet’s favorite color with that of the green alien from an unknown dimension, as portrayed in this work of Christian speculative fiction?

Pages : 433
Book Description
We are pressing beyond the range of human information at blazing speed, and in so doing, we are entering a realm were quite unprepared for. When this books essayist announces a celestial being from a different dominion has arrived to equip us with permission to eat of the fruit, allowing us to become all-knowledgeable, and to offer immortality, everyone is eager, of course. The extraterrestrial alien values the spirit nature as much as we value our flesh, and he prizes each, for he transcends knowledge of those entities, a character gushes. But we shall lose command of our individual freedoms if we forfeit our wits to another, because intelligence is more than gathering lots of data. Filtering information takes time and work to transform into wisdom. The race to control artificial intelligence has made each person a database for a search engine, and our species has mixed with machine. Weve become unknowingly programmed without an ethical compass while some in charge have questionable motives and are involved in moral turpitude. The result? As one character laments, We must break the very laws that make us civil.

Pages : 510
Book Description
~THE FIRST AND LAST KING SERIES~ Eschatological novels of beauty and sensitivity! The setting of a 21st Century university medical center, for scientific and technological research, catapults the reader into a supernatural journey from where C.S. Lewis ended his prophetic warnings in his apocalyptic space trilogy, THAT HIDEOUS STRENGTH. * Begin by understanding there is a universal plot to obliterate the image of God in the human. That’s the synopsis of this fictional account, but it is also the factual summary for life on our own planet. * Humankind, on the verge of extinction, pushed over the threshold of technological evolution, had a choice of everlasting life promised by two rival kings. The global population had entered a spiraling future by accepting a radical, interconnected surveillance state – a social, economic, technologic and scientific experiment regulating their behavior, forcing a segmentation and inevitable polarization of the Homo sapiens. * Anderson is the author of three previous novels, a collection read as a series, though each effectively stand alone: ELIZEUM STRIVING, journal one, PARADOX, THE NORM follows, and book three, A HAVEN NO LONGER.

Pages : 513
Book Description
THE KING’S CROWN OR A CROWN OF CYBERNETICS CORONAVIRUS and CORONA RADIATA are two medical terms. The corona pandemic was an attempt to influence the corona radiata. A character from this book explains: “There is something far more important than the affects left by the psychological tampering during the coronavirus pandemic. It is the intentional, cruel altering of the human neuroanatomy. The corona radiata is the encircling garland-shaped crown of nerve-bundles, which controls the highest functions of the human brain. It is self, our personal identity, and intellectual functioning; this involves the individual’s ability to make conscious decisions, to recall, and to have emotional, perceptual, behavioral expressions and motor skills.” The genetically modified virus continues to be deceptively used as a conveyance to destroy the foundation of civilization by overseeing the alteration of human behavior using the psychology of fear and panic. But reprehensible dictators always look for a more permanent solution than brain-washing. What if the division of cognitive neuroscience was exploited by a tyrannical techno-scientist, one who had authority to modernize the old lobotomy in essentially a noninvasive way, reinventing it for the reason of conforming humanity’s behavior? This is why neuroscience is of interest to the engineers of artificial intelligence. As there are already neural implants in use, neuroethicists caution us that while hacking microchips is criminal, violating a person is villainous. It is a time of dark medicine, of conjuring up potions, profiting from pestilence, and seeking prophets. CORONA RADIATA GARLAND OF GRIEF A Novel By JEAN HARRIS ANDERSON The Journals of Davin Alastair, embedded in the genre of science-fiction, have expanded into a parallel world of fables, fantasy, symbolism, and even courtly love is represented – necessarily, as we approach a dreadful time in the storyline when the captives are persecuted by the warlords. It’s less severe to reflect upon such similar sufferings in the illustrations of Aesop and lessons from the folktales of Brothers Grimm. Of The First And Last King series, this is fifth of our hero’s journals. It appears his planet is falling rapidly out of its natural orbit, spinning dizzily, and it may even collide with our very own globe. How might we prepare if this story is not a mythical account, but one predestined as a convergent encounter?

Abaddon meets Elysium

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 109
Book Description
The land of Ursurla moved around her as the wind struck a chord with the moonlight playing on the reddened grass before her. The night cracked and sparked as a sudden storm dissolved the stars and unleashed its force upon the moon, hiding it beneath thick clouds, layers, and darkness. Many years ago, once the magic started changing into an uncontrollable and unique mystery, natural magic users/creatures understood something was happening among the populace, but with no way to prove it, as their numbers dwindled and they were taken in the night, many thought the creatures had died off as the magic died off. No one realized the magic had died because these creatures were being controlled and locked up for their magic. The necromancers do this through the use of taboo magic. Their ultimate goal is to open the veil between worlds and prepare for their master, Draconias, to come through the portal and mold their two worlds into one. Once they have all the magical creatures, nothing can stop them. And Draconias (demon lord) will have an unstoppable army at his command.
