Book Description
In the third book of this sci-fi saga, a new alien species comes to earth and when humans try to help, the future of the planet hangs in the balance. The struggle for survival and control takes a new turn in this third book in the Clash of the Aliens series. The previous novel, Stranger, left the human race devastated by an apocalypse of their own making. They are picking up the pieces of their civilization and preparing for an outside threat—the alien race of Qu’uda. As Blue Gem unfolds, the humans do not know that a third alien species, the Hoo-Lii, are on their way to Earth. The strange, exotic Hoo-Lii Hive-Mother, Suh-Joh, seeks a new world because the ruling priest class has sentenced her to death. She sends her counselor to investigate Earth as a new home. When the Hoo-Lii ship arrives, it suffers major damage at the hands of the Qu’uda. The humans set out to help the Hoo-Lii with a gift of water. As the old saying goes, “No good deed goes unpunished.” This benevolent gesture may have inadvertently sold out the human race. Will this gift of water seal Earth’s fate?

Book Description
The scandals, mysteries, and human stories behind the world’s greatest gems are brought to life by the curator of the Smithsonian’s National Gem Collection Dr. Jeffrey E. Post, curator of the National Gem Collection for more than 25 years, separates fact from fiction in an all-new and original book, revealing fresh information and regaling the reader with anecdotes and tales of some of the world’s greatest and most famous gemstones. Dr. Post is the author of the now out-of-print book The National Gem Collection (Abrams, 1997), which has sold more than 50,000 copies. In this brand-new book, he tells the stories of the Smithsonian’s most famous gems, including the Hope Diamond, Star of Asia Sapphire, Carmen Lucia Ruby, Hooker Emerald, and Blue Heart Diamond—and also presents the tales, details, and fascinating facts surrounding rarely displayed gems from the Smithsonian vault and additions made to the collection since 1997. Not only a resource for learning about rare and beautiful gems, the book also presents the stories of the people who once owned or were associated with these jewels—from ordinary people to kings, emperors, maharajas, celebrities, and captains of industry.

Book Description
An entertaining and well-researched history of the Hope diamond Since its discovery in seventeenth-century India, the Hope diamond, a glimmering deep blue gem weighing over 45 carats, has been shrouded in mystery and steeped in intrigue. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Richard Kurin goes beyond the speculation to reveal the truth behind a legendary stone. Kurin, a cultural anthropologist, spent more than a decade on the trail of the legendary gem. But the 'curse' that surrounds it, which Kurin puts to rest once and for all, is only one small piece of a long and lustrous story that moves between ancient religion and modern magic, royal power and class rivalry, revenge and greed. Richly illustrated, Hope Diamond works in a grand historical tradition: depicting the specific to reveal the universal.

Book Description
The novel is a gem. Like most gems, the novel isn't free from inclusions or blemishes. The novel illustrates the colorful blue sapphire trading life in Bangkok, Thailand surface-diffused and confused-with black humor and radioactive dialogues, along with a group of blemished gem dealers, lust-driven wives, gangsters and gospel gemologists. All are heavily included.
