A dissident historian and an attorney-turned-photographer fall in love while taking on a rogue AI deleting buildings and monuments from the physical world whose counterpart photographs take up too much data in the digital cloud. The Colosseum in Rome disappears overnight. No trace, no remnants. Then the Statue of Liberty vaporizes out of thin air, swallowing all those in the crossfire. People say they saw a dark cloud descend over Lady Liberty from afar, then take off like a hurricane in a disappearing act. While researching the disappearances and finding some odd coincidences along the way, Kicis, a rebellious historian, crosses paths with Anna, former attorney-turned photographer. Pulled to New York, then to Europe, the pair fall for one another as they try to uncover the forces behind the missing buildings and monuments. They must do so covertly, as world governments have imposed a ban on any undercover investigations into the disappearances; the deletions aka irremnantizations. The true culprit fueling the deletions comes to light as the elusive Developer X concedes that her pet AI program has gone astray and morphed into something autonomous, ever-growing, virtually omnipotent, and starved for data. She, herself, is on the run from authorities after whistleblowing about her AI gone astray while others are locked up for much lesser crimes. Kicis and Anna then take on separate globe-trots to discover the truths that authorities seem to be gagging, to defend themselves from techno-tyranny, and to stop any more carnage before the carnage reaches them too. Kicis enlists the help of hackers to fight off the AI before it purges everything... but how do you fight data? Especially data that wants to destroy the real-world counterparts of what takes up too much space in the cloud. Meanwhile, Anna fends off her jealous ex-boyfriend, a world-renowned photographer himself, as she tries to prove her innocence so she can rejoin Kicis in the fight. As the irremnantizations increase, their chances of seeing each other again dwindle. Has a tipping point been reached within the bounds of Earth's physical constraints and exploited by digital forces that seem larger than life? Or is it simply the beginning of the Datapocalypse?

Every marathon has two lines. We usually focus on the Finish Line; that is where the crowd gathers, that is where medals are awarded. We see crossing the Finish Line as the victory. But there is a second line: the Starting Line. Sometimes, getting to that line and crossing it is even harder. Once you do, though, life can get pretty amazing.

The journey and the experience. Life as we know it, and the world around us, continue to inspire an incredible amount of questions even after thousands of years of technical innovation. Discovering answers to those questions sometimes completely alter the understanding of who we are spiritually, where we came from, and what our future holds. From building amazingly complex structures to exploring personal enlightenment, unanswered questions are capable of motivating the most astonishing feats ever known to mankind. Throughout a lifetime we are faced with moments that forever change us. In those moments we are given the opportunity to persevere; to adapt and overcome those obstacles placed before us. Contained within is a compelling, personal journey of clairvoyance experienced by the author, J.C. Vintner, in a transcendent rite of passage. The experience forever changed how Vintner understands mankind's place in the universe and prompted an extensive, ongoing research effort to explain the unexplained by means of relation and relativity. Along with Vintner's experience is the complete three volume ancient mysteries series including Ancient Earth Mysteries, Mysteries of the Universe, and Legendary Cryptids, expanded with additional research articles and notes. By opening pathways deep within the mind, expanding our perception of knowledge, and accepting alternative explanations to our existence, we may begin to recognize the ultimate beauty of our reality and the cosmos. Ancient World Mysteries explores these pathways by tapping into the knowledge of our ancient ancestors in search of a hidden truth able to explain our existence as one with the universe.

Asia, 1945. The War in Europe is over. Undeterred, the Japanese Empire fights on. With millions of loyal troops at its disposal and holdings that extend over thousands of miles, the Allies still have much intense fighting ahead.Freed from a Soviet dungeon by diplomatic happenstance as the European theatre closes is Peter Kemp. Kemp was a young law student who volunteered to fight for the Nationalists against the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. Recruited by the elite British Special Operations Executive for his extensive irregular warfare experience and enormous bravery, Kemp was a commando raider then spy in the Balkans and Poland before being betrayed, along with his comrades, by the advancing Red Army. Recognizing him as one of their best operatives, the British redeploy Kemp to the South Pacific. Although initially tasked with mopping up the Japanese remnants, after the surrender Kemp finds himself struggling to bring order to the chaos as anti-colonial sentiment surges, first in French Indochina and then the Dutch East Indies. With the United States indifferent or hostile to its allies' extended empires, Kemp is forced to lead Japanese troops and a smattering of European holdouts against a phantom army of guerrillas.Kemp published his story in 1961, one of only a few to offer a first-hand look at the little-explored aftermath of World War Two in the Pacific. The book has been out-of-print for decades, but joins Kemp's first two books, Mine Were of Trouble (recounting his Spanish Civil War experiences) and No Colours or Crest (following him through Europe in WW2) back in wide release again.

Elders on the Run is a light-hearted tale that speaks to both our human spirit, as well as our folly. By hinting at our human peculiarities, Elders on the Run strives to teach that through us, the universe speaks, that we have the opportunity to give voice to the cosmos, to tell its story, to be its imagination. Once described as similar to A Confederacy of Dunces, this story follows quirky characters and even quirkier adventures. Along the way, we watch the haphazard life of Norton and Chub, an odd duo who quickly find themselves in trouble. After their sentencing, Norton and Chub learn that they are in a nursing home unlike any other. Dave Spring's is federally funded, constantly guarded and surrounded by razor wire. Here, the residents don't feel like residents. No one chose to be here. Everyone is court ordered. They feel like prisoners, and in many respects, that's what they are. Follow Norton and Chub as they try to understand. Will they rise above the situation? Will they see the better side of it? Quotes from the Book "At thirty thousand feet and still rising, they could see that the earth was no longer flat, its curvature spread across long sloping horizons. Through intermittent patches of clouds and the shadows they bestowed, rivers meandered towards vast seas of blue and a hundred hues of green were splashed across the land. An eerie darkness hovered above them, de-void of any hope and standing in sharp contrast to the oasis beneath them." "There, the four old men stood gazing into infinity, the sky an inky black and checkered with clouds, a crescent moon peaking through only occasionally, teasing their human appetite for beauty." "I'd never launch from Bali or the Swedish Alps," Duffy advised. "Misjudge the wind and you're dead." "There was a tank on the desk with some coral and a dead goldfish floating at the surface. Norton wondered if he should tell the Warden his fish was dead." "When Arm Pitt moved in they had to take the ceiling fan out of his room. That mark on his forehead is from one of the blades. He's tall and big and sweats half his weight a day. Probably doesn't help he no longer has a ceiling fan. Arm Pitts nickname caught on exceptionally fast. Perhaps due to every-one being under the impression I was, that if we called him Arm Pitt he might actually start using deodorant."
