THE YEAR WAS 2070 A.D. and the past years hung heavy on the planet Earth. The golden age of recycling had literally smashed headlong into the wanton destruction of desert warfare of years before. As it had many times in the past, mankind's demand for his neighbors landLegends become real. And reality becomes more unbelievable that anything you could ever dream! and the wealth it contained both on it and under it had brought carnage. Death this time was greedy, and it had demanded a larger share of the spoils. It had not been content to take just the souls of the fallen soldier's dying in the desert sand; no it wanted the innocent as well. Man found he contribute to his own death by burning oil well sites, killing whole town with poison gases. The land became a toxic wasteland; crude oil spills clogged the ocean and spilled onto beaches hundreds of miles away. In her dying gasp, Mother Nature lost control, Africa was now a total sand dune, and only bones remained of its once large herds of animals. The people could do nothing but die or be blown out into the ocean, which it self was dying South America was now more closely resembling old Africa, a vast expansion of treeless landscape slowly drying up from the heat. All over the world people cried out for water as cycles of drought plagued all countries. In her gasping breath, the once green Earth answered back, by delivering her life's blood back to the land. She melted the ice fields to bring the water back to the land. One man in California had the foresight to see what was coming and had created a means to wall off the land, and in doing so had created an island of life. He was a design engineer, with a gift of imagination few had. His talent is but to the test as he finds an ancient relic from a city that had been a fable in the minds of man for thousands of years. He discovers the artifact to be the key to visiting the living past, but he must look to the stars for the Atlantis of our lost legends, for he has found it to be a spaceship! Here is the story of how one mans changes the course of the history of Earth and countless galaxies millions of light years from him. By picking up a harmless looking crystal he finds contains within an ancient sphere whose origin is anywhere but earth's!

Book Description
The Atlantis story remains one of the most haunting and enigmatic tales from antiquity, and one that still resonates very deeply with the modern imagination. But where did Atlantis come from, what was it like, and where did it go?Atlantis was first introduced by the Greek philosopher Plato in the fourth century BCE. As he discusses about the origins of life, the universe and humanity, the great thinker puts forward a stunning description of Atlantis—an island paradise with an ideal society. But the Atlanteans soon degenerate and become imperialist aggressors: they choose to fight against antediluvian Athens, which heroically repels their mighty forces, before a cataclysmic natural disaster destroys the warring states.Plato’s tale of a great empire that sank beneath the waves has sparked thousands of years of debate over whether Atlantis really existed. But did Plato mean his tale as history—or just as a parable to help illustrate his philosophy?

Pages : 215
Book Description
An NPR Best Book of the Year A Vanity Fair Best Summer Read "A haunting, mind-bending memoir. . . . riveting." —New York Times "A mixture of biography and true crime, this narrative . . . offers more plot twists, shocking revelations and shady characters than most contemporary thrillers." —NPR The Book of Atlantis Black will have you questioning facts, rooting for secrets, and asking what it means to know the truth. A young woman is found dead on the floor of a Tijuana hotel room. An ID in a nearby purse reads “Atlantis Black.” The police report states that the body does not seem to match the identification, yet the body is quickly cremated and the case is considered closed. So begins Betsy Bonner’s search for her sister, Atlantis, and the unraveling of the mysterious final months before Atlantis’s disappearance, alleged overdose, and death. With access to her sister’s email and social media accounts, Bonner attempts to decipher and construct a narrative: frantic and unintelligible Facebook posts, alarming images of a woman with a handgun, Craigslist companionship ads, DEA agent testimony, video surveillance, police reports, and various phone calls and moments in the flesh conjured from memory. Through a history only she and Atlantis shared—a childhood fraught with abuse and mental illness, Atlantis’s precocious yet short rise in the music world, and through it all an unshakable bond of sisterhood—Bonner finds questions that lead only to more questions and possible clues that seem to point in no particular direction. In this haunting memoir and piercing true crime account, Bonner must decide how far she will go to understand a sister who, like the mythical island she renamed herself for, might prove impossible to find.
