Book 1: Pangaea (Pangaean Chronicles)

Book 1: Pangaea (Pangaean Chronicles) Review

A place that shouldn't exist.
What would you do if you were enjoying a fabulous Caribbean cruise and you were suddenly thrust into another world? A hostile land where history went astray, animals that are extinct in our own world are flourishing, human society is a conglomeration of cultures and eras mixed up together, slavery is prominent, and the social classes are at war with each other?
World famous, award winning British singer Tristan Granleigh and Skye Talbot, a secretary in a technical college in Oregon, have to face just such a crisis in their lives. They know all too well what Dorothy meant when she told Toto they weren’t in Kansas anymore. Staying alive isn’t merely an old song, it’s a desperate struggle.
If they got there, there must be a way back. An eccentric old man named Varon finds himself embroiled in these strangers’ search, but there’s something about this strange old man that triggers an odd feeling in Tristan. Why does Varon seem familiar?
Does the Harborage hold the secret? Could it be the way back home?
It’s a quest for the Harborage, but is it truly the road to a refuge for the oppressed peasants of Pangaea? Could it lead to the dimensional vortex back to Tristan and Skye’s own world? Or could it be a dark path to something far worse and more dangerous? It’s a perilous journey across the largest continent that ever existed on earth and someone may have to die before it’s over.
This is the first volume of a series.

Easy-to-follow explanations, engaging illustrations, and fun facts (did you know that a cockroach can live for nine days without its head?). Many thousands of copies of Science Is... have been used by student teachers to get started in science class. Make this a book you'll turn to again and again.

"An innovative book ... Youngsters will be intrigued by the exciting activities crammed into this book." (Today's Parent)

Book (The God Particle)

Book (The God Particle) Review

A SIMPLE TALE OF SUBATOMIC PARTICLE METAPHYSICS

In the summer of 2008, a long awaited scientific experiment was started at the CERN particle accelerator near Geneva. The experiment involved the high-speed collision of subatomic particles and the objective was to prove the existence of the Higgs boson, more commonly known as 'The God Particle'.

To the great disappointment of the worldwide scientific community and the relief of many people who were concerned that this experiment might trigger a reaction that would destroy our planet, a technical hitch caused the experiment to be abandoned at the crucial moment.

Book is the first episode in a humorous journey that began in the chaos of that failed experiment.

God Particles; both elusive and mysterious, contain properties we are only on the brink of understanding. So their ability to evolve into intelligent beings and dramatically affect our life on this planet should come as no surprise. That's not quite how the humans in this story see it!

Bakkian Chronicles, Book I: The Prophecy

Bakkian Chronicles, Book I: The Prophecy Review

Dragons, griffins, and BNPs (Bugs of Nightmarish Proportions).  Never in their wildest dreams could they have imagined what was in store for them. 

After learning he had inherited an enormous mansion and a huge tract of land from a reclusive set of  relatives, Steve Miller, along with his wife Sarah, decide to take a few days off to investigate their new-found fortune in the quiet resort town of Coeur d'Alene in northern Idaho. 

While taking inventory of the vast manor, they discover a unique set of doors on the top floor.  Mistaking them to be an ornate decoration, the doors are accidentally activated, presenting the two new homeowners with a tantalizing decision:  step through or ignore?  No harm could possibly befall them by simply walking through an open door, right?  Curiosity getting the better of them, they step through, and both husband and wife are sent on a one-way journey to a land of unimagined wonder! 

Realizing they were now stranded on a world populated with creatures that should exist only in one's imagination, they enlist the aid of the local king and queen.  Their troubles continue to escalate, however, as it is revealed their arrival had been long foretold by an ancient local prophecy, bestowing upon them the status of Royal Bodyguards to the young crown prince.  

Stuck on a foreign world where mythical creatures abound, trying to avoid being attacked by griffins, and hoping to impress a living, breathing dragon, the newly appointed babysitters must find a way to return home soon before harm could befall the young prince.

Some days it didn't pay to get out of bed.
