This book is the result of my 35 years of intense quest and research into the age-old question: Do we have free will? My search began when I was 17 and experiencing intense depression and suffering for unexplained reasons.

This book is not written from theoretical or hypothetical ideas. It is based on my personal experiences with life, as ...

The companies have special, heavily shielded ships that can withstand impacts from small debris while they capture the larger stuff. A young pilot and the crusty owner of Salvage One find something in orbit they didn’t expect, and it leads them on an adventure to the moon, then to another star system, and then as Earth’s only hope to stave off an invasion from a marauding race that roams the galaxy looking for planets to plunder.

The room erupted into spontaneous applause as the countdown reached zero and the female’s voice announced, “We have main engine start and lift off. Lift off for NASA’s NEAR Shoemaker observer. On its way to rendezvous with the asteroid Eros 433.” That seemed a long time ago, as I look back at the events that have unfolded since that time. None of us knew then, that simple innocuous mission would answer the question that humanity had asked since we took those first historical steps into space. “Are we alone?”
