Science Universe

Imagine going to bed with mousy brown locks and waking up with a headful of supernova scarlet. It's a hot new look for me - literally, because it bursts into flames whenever I'm threatened. My magical makeover is all Gary's fault. I knew there was something off from the moment he transferred to my school. Go figure. He's a wizard with a trust fund and an inferiority complex. Now, thanks to him, I've graduated from high school bullies to supernatural terrors and that's not all. Fate has chosen me to face the legendary vampire destined to destroy the world.

Star Force is beyond frustrated by the continuing Vargemma attacks, but until a trailblazer or other Essence wielder can find a way to reach the Paladin, the portals will remained closed to the outside and the enemy will continue to be able to strike the empire with impunity.

The long war with the V'kit'no'sat is over, and it's time for humanity's elite Archons to take the next step in their physical and mental development through a mix of training and genetic engineering. No longer will they be humans, but rather something new with a raw power the galaxy has never before seen. Enter the era of the Saiyans.

As the war to conquer Star Force progresses, the fighting shifts away from the Uriti and space battles to the ground...where planets are won or lost based on the supersized warfare of mechs vs. dinosaurs.

Changes with the Uriti alter the dynamics of the war against the V'kit'no'sat...and send shockwaves from the galactic rim to Itaru.

While Star Force begins to defend itself against the V'kit'no'sat, the Skarron Crusade is still in full force, eventually arriving at the border of the advanced Voku Empire and slamming into it with alarming numbers...too many for the superior Voku to stop, turning the secondary war into a contest of attrition while the bulk of the Crusade is directed at the Li'vorkrachnika and others. The full might of the Skarron Empire is now visible to the galaxy as everyone who stands in the way of the 4th Crusade is subsequently overrun by a wealth of military assets beyond reckoning.

What if reality is not a branching forest of infinite timelines, but a single, irreplaceable world whose value becomes clearer the moment we strip away seductive myths? This book confronts one of the most persistent modern fantasies—the idea of parallel universes—by examining it through science, philosophy, and the psychology of human perception. It exposes how easily speculative models slip into pseudoscience, how cultural repetition creates the illusion of credibility, and how misused scientific language blurs the boundary between rigorous inquiry and imaginative fiction.

The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte.
