Book Description
After crossing the Atlantic Ocean, Ethan Sayer and his three daughters are now faced with finding the four remaining Saint's Treasures. God told Ethan that he and his three daughters would travel with His four emissaries and reveal treasures which would be a test for the Gentile world. Ethan believes they will be in nations that he was sent with one of God's angels. It will be an around-the-world trip, and one nation is still a mystery! The only deadline was given by Ethan's wife, "Have Lyndsay and Alicia back in time to register for their college classes." Come along on this around-the-world mission and meet kings, queens, princes, princesses, and other world leaders. Visit distant lands and, more importantly, meet the people that live there. These are the people to whom God sent His emissaries. They are the real treasure in a fallen world. The challenge for the Sayers is that the emissaries are the Dragons of the Apocalypse, and they are to ride these dragons across oceans, mountains, and over hostile countries. Ethan Sayer has looked at pioneers of early flight as his guides to accomplish his mission. Ethan feels an urgency that his oldest daughter does not share. She wants to enjoy the journey, but Ethan feels he must complete the work as quickly as possible. Join this family as they experience a world full of joy and sometimes sorrow. They will make friends with great and small alike, but it is not all blissful, but that is life.

Book Description
The Anthropocene defines the here-and-now time period on Earth of indelible (and possibly irreversible) human disturbance to the natural world, from habitat destruction and mass extinction to global climate change. To ameliorate and repair the damage that threatens the world's dwindling resources and our very existence, humanity is enacting massive interventions to fuse modern technologies with long established natural processes. Advances in genetic engineering have put us on the cusp of directly shaping the DNA of every living organism (including ourselves), as well as determining the evolution of completely novel species. The author invites the reader to explore how humans have manipulated the ancient forces of evolution and the future possibilities of genetic engineering for conservation and rewilding, de-extinction, and even the creation of viable populations of entirely new species. To entertain such possibilities of synthetic biology, he forces us to wrestle with the threats and ethical conundrums that surround the unintended consequences, as well as the values that humanity places on authenticity in nature. In so doing, this accessible and thought-provoking book explores the potential future of life on planet Earth.

Book Description
“The ferociously talented Gibson delivers his signature mélange of technopop splendor and post-industrial squalor” (Time) in this New York Times bestseller that features his hero from Idoru... Colin Laney, sensitive to patterns of information like no one else on earth, currently resides in a cardboard box in Tokyo. His body shakes with fever dreams, but his mind roams free as always, and he knows something is about to happen. Not in Tokyo; he will not see this thing himself. Something is about to happen in San Francisco. The mists make it easy to hide, if hiding is what you want, and even at the best of times reality there seems to shift. A gray man moves elegantly through the mists, leaving bodies in his wake, so that a tide of absences alerts Laney to his presence. A boy named Silencio does not speak, but flies through webs of cyber-information in search of the one object that has seized his imagination. And Rei Toi, the Japanese Idoru, continues her study of all things human. She herself is not human, not quite, but she’s working on it. And in the mists of San Francisco, at this rare moment in history, who is to say what is or is not impossible...
