Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Imagine the world that we live in and all of the people that you know and have ever met. Some are family, others friends and associates, but suppose that 1 out of every twenty of them is something more than a mere man or woman; they are alien beings from the planet Venus, and though they are superior to us in every way they have lived peacefully amongst our kind for the past several decades. But now, a faction of their race has decided that their time for humility has come to its end. They send cyborgs out on a global campaign to capture and detain all of mankind until the day of Harvest, but thanks to your best friends' intervention you are one of the few to escape. Such is the plight of the story's main character, Derek, and written in journal form are his personal experiences and thoughts of a world where humans are no longer the dominate species on earth. Taken in by his best friend Kiito's family, who are also Venusian, Derek goes through the motions of learning all that he can about their kind, and by chance he discovers that he himself is a Hybrid. Half human and half Venusian, the fact that he has the same capabilities as his full blooded counterparts thrills him to no end, but the responsibility that he feels in regard to his newfound power compels him to reluctantly join in the Rebellion's effort to liberate mankind through war with the tyrannical Conglomerate. Nevertheless, before he has the time to make peace with that decision he is presented with an opportunity to help make the world a better place than it was before; a planet where personal agendas are a thing of the past, political gain plays no part in doing what's right for society and people are once again free to sleep with their doors unlocked. It is a state of being for which Derek has always dreamed of, and all that he has to do in order to bring it to fruition is form a secret alliance with a third party. Blinded by the possibilities, he fools himself into believing that accepting the offer and keeping it a secret is in everyone's best interest, but, when the time comes to fulfill that oath he realizes the ramifications that his treachery may bring. Because his insight comes too late to warn the Rebellion of the intended ambush upon their forces, a personal sacrifice has to me made, but will it be enough to protect them and all of mankind from what lurks on the horizon.…

The plaque referred is 'attached to the rock face fronting Regent Road immediately to the east of the steps leading from the end of Waterloo Place to Calton Hill', and was unveiled in 1894. The entry with Canmore ID 302221 gives some detail, but has no mention of the present appeal. 1p, 4to. On recto of first leaf of bifolium of laid paper. Discoloured and worn, but with text intact and clear. The authors are named as: 'DAVID PRYDE, M.A., LL.D., / President of the Edinburgh Burns' Club. / JAMES CRICHTON, Hon. Secy. / JOHN WALKER, Acting. Secy., / 2 EDEN TERRACE, EDINBURGH.' Twenty lines in three paragraphs of small print, beginning: 'SHORTLY after the death of Mr David Kennedy, a suggestion was made that a Monument should be erected to him and the two other great Scottish Vocalists, Templeton and Wilson. It was also thought that the EDINBURGH BURNS' CLUB was the body that could most appropriately undertake the carrying out of this project. A Meeting of the Club was, therefore, called and all the Members present agreed that an appeal should be made to the public for the above-mentioned purpose.' The notice asserts that 'Templeton, Wilson, and Kennedy deserve to be ranked among the great public benefactors. During their professional tours, they interpreted the Scottish feeling and humour of Burns and other poets, set to the matchless Scottish melodies. And in doing this the not only stirred the heart and delighted the fancy of the people, but kindled an enthusiastic love for our native land. This was especially the case when they visited America and the Colonies. They carried with them, as it were, the atmosphere of old Scotland, which not only revived former associations and memories, but greatly strengthened that bond of sympathy which, more than any other tie, binds together the English-speaking communities all over the globe.' The notice ends with the announcement of the proposal 'to erect in the Scottish capital, to these great Scottish singers, a Monument which will keep them in remembrance, and which at the same time will encourage others of like gifts to follow their example; and all lovers of Scotland in all parts of the world are invited to subscribe to this patriotic object.' Loosely inserted is a 54-line newspaper cutting, from a London cuttings agency, of an article by 'WM. HENDERSON, London.', headed 'ON SCOTTISH VOCALISTS - WILSON, TEMPLETON, KENNEDY.' The source and full date are absent. No other copy traced.…
