At long last, an extraterrestrial civilization reached out and made the First Contact. However, no one on Earth took their communique for the genuine article. In a similar vein, very few people appreciated just how little time our new suzerains had promised to keep our planet safe. Regardless, the end of their message showed humankind how to access a mysterious game. The objective of this game is unclear. No one can say where its servers are located, and its inner workings are beyond comprehension.

Starve Acre, their house by the moors, was to be full of life but is now a haunted place. Juliette, convinced Ewan still lives there in some form, seeks the help of the Beacons, a seemingly benevolent group of occultists.

The future William Gibson imagined in Neuromancer didn’t just reimagine the landscape of science fiction, it redefined how we think about the intersection of humanity and technology, and about the power of narrative to explore the consequences of living in a world dominated by digital networks, cybernetic enhancements, and artificial intelligence.

They are steeped ...

If it had another name, I never knew, but the locals called it the Loney - that strange nowhere between the Wyre and the Lune where Hanny and I went every Easter time with Mummer, Farther, Mr. and Mrs. Belderboss and Father Wilfred, the parish priest.

A must-listen audiobook for the Black and Brown communities! Financial Literacy & Ownership, from conception this audiobook was meant to facilitate the delivery of a singular, but broad message. My message is that of financial literacy and ownership; ownership of assets, real property, commodities, businesses, and intellectual property. Financial literacy and ownership are sorely lacking in the Black community and this fact is, has been, and shall continue to stymie the growth and the evolution of the Black community until we infuse a paradigm shift in our communal thinking.
