Geologist Mark flies to the Himalayas to search for the cause of earthquakes growing in ferocity. While setting up equipment, he encounters a beautiful woman, Kusoom, the leader of a cult. Mark scoffs at her belief in a great being who will rise from Mt. Kailas and save her people. Curious about her and the giant creature, he stays to see it hatch under fire from the Chinese Army. Wounded in the fight to save Kusoom, Mark wakes up in space on the living planet. She says, they must escape Earth. A stellar tsunami will soon destroy it. They must try to save the whole Earth, Mark insists. Not possible, she says, but perhaps the council of galactic sentients will help. They fly to the council and plead for Earth, but the council refuses to save primitive humans. Can they convince humans to save themselves? They fly back to Earth.
Über den Autor
Since early childhood, Bill was fascinated with the stars. Through the clear skies of California he watched the planets and constellations march through the seasons. He studied at San Diego and San Jose state colleges. With a Bachelor’s degree in Math and Master’s degree in Cybernetic Systems, he worked for 40 years as a software engineer. He developed programs, proposals, and user instructions for control systems at Silicon Valley hi-tek leaders such as UNIVAC, Ampex, Daisy Systems, HP, and SAP. During his work on the Apollo project at NASA, he saw early pictures of the Earth rising over the Moon, looking like a blue marbled egg. Aha, Bill says, the Earth is the place we are born, our egg, and not our home forever. If we learn and obey the laws of science, study space, and treat each other and our planet very carefully, humanity will survive without end.Ebooks vom selben Autor / Herausgeber
