Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if the greatest mystery wasn't the wings. but the people who saw them Robert Wells is an ordinary young man living an unremarkable life when a pair of white angel wings suddenly erupts from his back. The world explodes. Scientists race to explain the impossible. Religious leaders proclaim miracles. Others denounce him as a servant of evil. Governments, journalists, psychologists, philosophers, atheists, and believers all struggle to answer the same question: What is Robert Wells Then everything changes. The wings disappear. Horns emerge. A second set of wings begins to grow. As humanity projects its deepest fears, hopes, beliefs, and prejudices onto one bewildered young man, Robert finds himself drawn into conversations with scientists, priests, skeptics, philosophers, and strangers whose questions slowly become his own. What begins as a supernatural mystery gradually becomes something far more unsettling-a journey into identity, consciousness, compassion, and the invisible divisions that separate human beings from one another. Inspired in part by the ancient Gnostic concept of Abraxas-the symbolic union of apparent opposites-this thought-provoking novel blends speculative fiction, philosophy, psychology, and spiritual inquiry into a story that asks far more questions than it answers. ABRAXAS is not a novel about angels or demons. It is a novel about us.…

As political extremism, environmental catastrophe, and social fragmentation push civilization toward self-destruction, an ancient extraterrestrial species known as the Intoffs quietly observes from the shadows, debating whether humanity deserves to survive at all.

But while many among the Intoffs believe humanity is doomed, another possibility begins to emerge deep in the mountains of Norway: The Zarnia Project.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What happens when a small-town American police officer is dropped into the middle of a collapsing nation After a career in rural law enforcement in Washington State, Michael Jaquish accepted an assignment to manage diplomatic security operations for the U.S. State Department in West Africa. It sounded like the next step in an adventurous career.>From the streets of Liberia to The Gambia and Sierra Leone, Beyond The Badge takes readers far beyond the headlines and into a world few outsiders ever experience. Along the way are moments of danger, humor, heartbreak, unexpected friendships, and remarkable acts of courage that reveal both the best and the worst of human nature. But this is more than an adventure memoir. It is the story of a man who spent years believing that justice, accountability, and the rule of law formed the foundation of civilization-only to discover what happens when those foundations disappear. Part travel memoir, part political history, part law enforcement chronicle, and part personal journey, Beyond The Badge explores not only a turbulent chapter in African history, but the deeper question of what remains of our humanity when civilization itself begins to fracture. For readers who enjoy true adventure, international intrigue, and thoughtful memoirs that examine the human condition, this unforgettable journey offers far more than stories of Africa. It offers a new way of seeing the world. …
