My name is Eva Morales, and I was one step away from being homeless when Trace Walker came into my life. I want to hate him because of my past, but I end up making what I consider a "devil's bargain" with the arrogant young billionaire instead. Really, I have no choice. It's either take the work he's offering or starve, and I've been hungry long enough. I didn't think being his fake fiancee for the holidays would be a difficult job, but it ends up more complicated than I ever imagined, and I see a whole new side of Trace once he lets his guard down. He's haunted by his past--just like me, But there are things I can never tell him, secrets I don't dare reveal. Eventually, I find myself in a difficult situation because our volatile attraction to each other won't be denied. Should I tell him the truth, or do I finish the job he's paying me for and walk away with my secrets still hidden, my pride still intact? He's paying me enough for this job to take care of myself once it's over. I've always been alone, and I always thought I preferred it...until I met Trace. I'd have to put everything on the line to be honest with him, but he very well might be the first man who is worth the risk. Honestly, I'd be endangering more than just my pride. I could handle feeling like a loser, because I've pretty much felt that way my entire life. What really terrifies me is being vulnerable and the possibility of ending up with a shattered heart...

A whole range of new discoveries and theories, from chaos to complexity, from string theories to postmodern notions of truth and reality, are forcing us to question, indeed abandon, the legacy of the Baconian Age and interrogate the very idea that "humans" are the center, sum and substance of the world!The long-term future is a product of a complex set of interacting factors, forces and processes wherein humans have an active role, but do not, and cannot, determine the outcomes. We must transcend history in an imaginative and bold manner: foresight is key to our survival.Addressing issues of human survival in this framework also forces us to recognize that we, as humans, have a responsibility; not just as current custodians of the planet, but also as shapers of long-range futures: viable futures, with meaningful legacies for generations far ahead. Disregarding this responsibility would be tantamount to leaving the future generations a wasteland as their inheritance.This compilation of essays, talks and interviews presents the canvas upon which to explore these issues within a framework of larger totalities-such as "humankind" and "planet earth"-within the scope of an evolutionary time frame. What results is a blueprint for negotiating a global transition to avoid collapse.

THE DAR LUMBRE CHRONICLESIn 2086, NatGov was poised to arrest Dr. Dar Lumbre for performing genetic experiments banned by law, but before the warrant could be served, a solar flare erased large amounts of national census data. During the chaos created by this massive data loss, Dr. Lumbre vanished like a will-o'-the-wisp and hasn't been seen in fifty years. His disappearance triggered questions...Did NatGov assassinate him?Did he change his identity? Did he go into hiding? Did he ascend? Believing the solar flare to be divine providence, the enigmatic doctor's followers formed the Dar Lumbre Society and proclaimed his timely return, not as a fugitive, but as a sociopolitical messiah destined to unite the divided country by serving as a nexus between science, politics, and religion. CellTech geneticists, Crane Hopkins and Annie Lee, are thrust into this melee due to the failure of DL-666, the oddly-named synthetic heart tissue developed by Dar Lumbre shortly before his disappearance. Many people, including the First Lady of the United States, are awaiting heart transplants which cannot be performed with the malfunctioning tissue. Crane and Annie launch a frantic search for compatible DNA to make the needed repairs, but are stymied time after time because the records of Dr. Lumbre's original work have disappeared, if they ever existed.Dar Lumbre is of Mexican descent, and in Spanish, his name means to give light. If he reappears, will he establish himself as a bold new light in the world of medicine? Or will NatGov ban his efforts a second time and impose another scientific dark age, as the number 666 might suggest?
