The EarthKeeper - Undeveloping the Future
by Adam C. HallThe EarthKeeper is an inspiring story about a ruthless millionaire who woke up from his worldly life to become a steward of the planet in the sacred traditions of the Hopi, Mayan, and Incan cultures. This is a tale of high adventure, filled with tears and heartbreak, transcendence and triumph, fate and destiny, peace and love. One day, as Adam Hall was racing through life, he met a palm reader who spoke of separation. This one word triggered a series of questions about life, death, and his purpose. He began to think that if he could not realize his calling on Earth, then what's it all worth anyway? Was he to live fully or just bide his time until death? These questions exploded life as Adam knew it, propelling him on a quest that cost him his family and more. His work in real estate even dwindled drastically, as he was utterly through with the dog-eat-dog mentality of doing business. Eventually, he sought a new way as he lost his self-identity in the process, because who are you if you suddenly realize that key aspects of your life were based on illusions? The EarthKeeper turns the world on it head and opens the door to an entirely new perspective. In reading about Adam's quest, you'll accompany him on this journey as he travels the globe and discovers the ancient map of his soul. He shares the highs and lows as he traverses four roads of life: the physical, emotional, spiritual, and Divine. Along the way, he discovers the secrets of nature and all of life. You'll see firsthand how he courageously faces his own demons and takes responsibility for his former ruthlessness and misdeeds, slowly but surely finding an inner peace that's unmovable by outer events. You'll see how Adam, while working with shamans in Peru, receives a vision that wakes him up to his destiny: he's among those who assume the sacred duty of preserving and honoring our precious humanity, ultimately finding environmental redemption and vowing to foster planetary well-being.

The Eater of Darkness
by Robert M. CoatesConsidered by many to be one of the most unique, avant-garde works published by the Lost Generation, The Eater of Darkness is hailed as the first Dada novel published by an American. Previously out of print for more than fifty years, this new edition has been updated with a new introduction and contemporary material that pays homage to the groundbreaking life and career of author Robert M. Coates.&“One of the cleverest tours de force ever contrived by the pen of a wit.&” Young, charming, and fresh from a passionate jaunt in France, Charles Dograr leaves behind his French lover and returns to America to spend a year in New York City. Eager to make his year in New York one to remember, Charles leaves his boarding house room one night in search of an adventure. As he wanders, Charles stumbles into the living quarters of Picrolas, an eccentric, crazed scientist who refers to himself as &“the Eater of Darkness.&” Picrolas reveals his prized invention: a remote-control x-ray machine, designed to electrocute and kill at random by shooting &“x-ray bullets&” into the brains of Picrolas&’ intended targets. Tricked by Picrolas into releasing the trigger, Charles is instantly taken by the machine and the power it holds. After a string of murders ensue, Charles agrees to help Picrolas plot an elaborate bank heist, using the x-ray bullets to kill the bank&’s guards and any unlucky witnesses that happen to be on the street during the heist. As the city is terrorized by these mysterious murders, Charles becomes entangled in the fallout. Characters disappear and reappear; events spiral in a disorienting, antirealistic fashion; and genres collide in an unpredictable, dreamlike conclusion. Often compared to Flann O&’Brien&’s The Third Policeman, The Eater of Darkness is many things: both an acclaimed crime novel and a study in surrealist fiction; an experimentation of style, structure, and syntax; and an innovative, avant-garde concoction from an author who wrote years ahead of his time.
The Eater of Worlds: Cap Kennedy Book 8
by E. C. TubbTHE VAULT IN THE VALLEY On a far semi-desert world, shunned by trade routes, and unattractive to star travellers, there is a barren and isolated valley. Dominating this valley is a great time-eroded Sphinx-like construction - a mass known to the few who have looked upon it as the Skull of Sykoris. Cap Kennedy followed a dangerous trail across many worlds - a trail of murder, duels, and evil - to find that it ended there, before the Skull, confronting a mystery older than all mankind. Beneath that Sphinx lay something desired by Earth's old enemies. Beneath it lay something that lured the criminal minds of many worlds. But what it was none knew - until Cap Kennedy himself released the frightful power of the Eater of Worlds.
