Product Information

But the Dark Circle has learned of Master Therapass's secret and their evil influence and power are growing. Farworld's only hope is for Marcus and Kyja to find the mythical Elements-water, land, air, and fire-and convince them to open a drift between the worlds. With Dorian in pursuit, Kate, David, and their team race through the ruins of the Atlantean ship left on Earth, across Atlantean science stations throughout the galaxy, and into the past of a mysterious culture whose secrets could save humanity in its darkest hour. With their own lives on the line and time slipping away, Kate, David, and Dorian are put to the ultimate test. I worried that a reissued book wouldn’t catch fire now in the same way – remember, when Masquerade was published we only had three television channels and the pubs shut for the afternoon – but Barbarisi argues that much of the allure of these books comes from “connecting to a world long vanished. A treasure map is more romantic and mysterious – and uncertain – than a set of GPS coordinates on a Geocaching hunt. These books represent a time when information was genuinely hard to come by.There are those who miss that feeling of not knowing, of the difficulty of discovery and the triumph of hard-won knowledge.” A.G.

Very glad to hear you enjoyed the series. As a kid growing up, I never missed an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation or X-Files and have to say those were a huge influence on me. They were sci fi series with complex, compelling characters that I really cared about and each episode was about a concept or idea that intrigued me intellectually. So, as a kid I was more into sports and sci fi on TV and really got into reading later in my high school and college years when I found Dan Simmons' work and others like Assimov, Crichton, Dan Brown, Douglas Preston, and David Weber. Riddles are great for brain exercise. They help us focus on the problem, use our problem-solving skills, understand new words, and use logic in solving the riddle.

In search of a solution, journalist Matt Taibbi discovered the Divide, the seam in American life where our two most troubling trends--growing wealth inequality and mass incarceration--come together, driven by a dramatic shift in American citizenship: Our basic rights are now determined by our wealth or poverty. The Divide is what allows massively destructive fraud by the hyperwealthy to go unpunished, while turning poverty itself into a crime--but it's impossible to see until you look at these two alarming trends side by side. In The Gateless Gate, one of modern Zen Buddhism's uniquely influential masters offers classic commentaries on the Mumonkan, one of Zen's greatest collections of teaching stories.
