Book Description
An inexplicable explosion rocks the antiquities collection of a London museum, setting off alarms in clandestine organizations around the world. And now the search for answers is leading Lady Kara Kensington; her friend Safia al-Maaz, the gallery’s brilliant and beautiful curator; and their guide, the international adventurer Omaha Dunn, into a world they never dreamed existed: a lost city buried beneath the Arabian desert. But others are being drawn there as well, some with dark and sinister purposes. And the many perils of a death-defying trek deep into the savage heart of the Arabian Peninsula pale before the nightmare waiting to be unearthed at journey’s end: an ageless and awesome power that could create a utopia…or destroy everything humankind has built over countless millennia.

With the dictators and tyrants of the Middle East removed, terrorism ended and peace and prosperity looming, you would have thought everyone would be pleased. Not if your industry was profiting handsomely from the state of chaos that reigned before, and peace adversely affected your bottom line. The newly created Middle Eastern Union soon finds that Corporate America is a far more vicious and determined enemy than local dictators ever were.

Book Description
In 1973, on a remote beach in Australia, a group of surfers gather for another day of adventure, friendship, and adrenaline. Bear, LP, Mason, Brownie, and George and their friends, a testosterone-amped community of surfers and bikers, live on the dangerous side of the law, both by choice and by necessity. But what happens that day has nothing to do with surfing. A chance discovery is about to change their lives--and end a few of them. At a bora ring, an ancient Aboriginal ceremonial site in outback Queensland, an artefact waits to be found. Perhaps the Scroll even waits for them to find it. But in the discovery, each man faces his own curiosity. Has the Dreamtime seeped into the world? Can they trust Tibrogargan, Brownie's ancient Dreamtime ancestor? What messages are the women trying to share, and are the women even real? That night, the men find more questions than answers. Their quest for understanding takes them on a four-decade journey of exploration around the world. Mysticism, spiritualism, drugs, sex, and violence are but distractions in their quest to save the Scroll. In the year 2010, the Scroll will give up one of its many secrets--and when one of the men realizes that his participation in this quest was foretold by Nostradamus himself, they will all learn that their adventure is far from over.

Book Description
Mariela Stafford is a vice president at the world’s largest metaverse and pod warehousing company, until she’s demoted by her new boss and replaced by his digital clone. Now the clone wants kill her boss and is blackmailing Mariela to help. In 2115, embedded chips, virtual reality, and the threat of extreme weather have led to a market for businesses that keep a person’s body alive in a habitation pod while the person lives entirely in the metaverse. But not everyone embraces technological advances– a group of people have adopted the tech of 2005 while isolating themselves to resist the temptation of advanced technology. Panacea Corp – the world’s most powerful corporation – connects both worlds through providing the metaverse, the pod warehouses, and the land to the technology resisters. Mariela Stafford, a vice president for Panacea Corp, is demoted after her new boss assigns his digital clone to take over her job. Her boss, the CEO of Panacea Corp, not only gave the clone her job but also told Mariela to train it. Now the clone, in a bid for power, is coercing Mariela to help it kill the CEO. Assisted by Amoco, an eccentric polymath who also works for the corporation, Mariela schemes a way to get rid of the clone. To delete it, they’ll need to recruit a team to access an eighty-year-old server farm in a remote location—which would be a lot easier to do if the records on the location of the server farm hadn’t been lost. This ‘earth’ opera—a tale with all the drama, expansiveness, and varied cast of a space opera, but set on earth—will appeal to anyone who’s ever felt out-of-control of the technology in their lives. Panacea Genesis is book one in the Panacea Trilogy. REVIEWS Source: “Judge, 30th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards.” The pace was full of suspense. This topic will appeal to the Luddites who hate technology as well as Zuckerberg and everyone else who is using technology to its maximum yield. The conflict of the two factions really fuels the story, and this was filled with some fresh twists on technology that took the Matrix and Terminator to new territory [and] also kept focus on humanity. Quite intriguing story. This book has the complexity and scope of a space opera (like the "earth opera" descriptor) combined with the clarity of a Netflix series. The book is beautifully done. I would like to see it on a streaming service. Kudos on a lovely book - sometimes you can judge a book by its cover. Source: 5-star rating by Bookish Overall, Panacea Genesis was a wonderful and gripping sci-fi novel that explored the impact of futuristic technology on people’s everyday lives. Themes included technology, invasion of privacy, family, and deception. Recommended to: lovers of sci-fi novels that ask important questions about the role of technology in our lives.

Book Description
A young woman wants more in life than is being offered as she reaches maturity. Always daring, outspoken and adventurous, she dreams of life beyond her neighborhood and the people she grew up with. The late 1950s and early 1960s rarely offered opportunities to women wishing to reach out and grab a piece of life. Even something as simple as traveling from one state to another, required that they be either chaperoned by a man, or herded into a group like cows. Funny, painful, and at times, incredible, you will find yourself travelling with her, as she makes an escape from a boring switchboard operator's job at a neighborhood bank, to travel for 24 years around the world

Book Description
Of Mothers and Other Perishables is an exquisite articulation of grief. It is also the sharp-eyed tale of a city tethered to violence and bursting with nazms. The morbidly funny voice of a dead woman echoes through the walls of her beloved storeroom, a compact space that contains her earthly belongings: cupboards full of silk sarees and baby clothes, albums of black-and-white photographs, a collection of vinyl records, a record player, old leather suitcases, an ebony-and-gold sewing machine. She reminisces about the past, and about the disease that causes her untimely death. Her storeroom becomes a quaint Bioscope of her life in Delhi as a young woman in the 1970s and 80s, decades that bring her romance, marriage, motherhood. The novel oscillates between the dead woman’s yearnings and the immediacy and excitement of a parallel narrative — her daughter’s. Nicknamed The Wailer (from the band Bob Marley and the Wailers), the dead woman’s daughter offers a sardonic glimpse into the world of advertising — the night before a presentation, temperamental colleagues, the buzz of writers and art directors at work. But the peculiar dynamics of The Wailer’s advertising firm alter drastically, when protests break out in the city of Delhi. Protesters swarm the streets, hollering against a new bill that persecutes the Muslim community. A Muslim art director is drawn to the pulsing heart of this movement. The Wailer, too, is inadvertently involved. Both narratives — the deceased mother’s digressional memories, and The Wailer’s palpable reality — also tell of Toon, The Wailer’s younger sister, who is the CEO of a coffee startup. Their worlds converge to offer shards of the past, and navigate through a turbulent present. Personal and political histories collide in this haunting tale of many betrayals.
