Book Description
Utopia has been achieved. For centuries, disease, hunger, poverty and war have been things found only in the histories. And applied genetics has given men and women the bodies of athletes and a lifespan of over a century. They should all have been very happy.... But Hamilton Felix is bored. And he is the culmination of a star line; each of his last thirty ancestors chosen for superior genes. Hamilton is, as far as genetics can produce one, the ultimate man. And this ultimate man can see no reason why the human race should survive, and has no intention of continuing the pointless comedy. However, Hamilton's life is about to become less boring. A secret cabal of revolutionaries who find utopia not just boring, but desperately in need of leaders who know just What Needs to be Done, are planning to revolt and put themselves in charge. Knowing of Hamilton's disenchantment with the modern world, they have recruited him to join their Glorious Revolution. Big mistake! The revolutionaries are about to find out that recruiting a superman is definitely not a good idea.... With an all new afterword by Tony Daniel.

Book Description
The author shares his dream of sailing around the world, first formulated when he was six years old. The outfitting of his boat for the task and the trip itself taking 7 years, starting and ending in Hawaii. Leading him as far north as Alaska, south to New Zealand and into the relatively uncharted waters of the Black Sea, up the Dnieper River in the Ukraine and to Saudi Arabia. Along the way he encounters high winds to 70 knots and 50 foot waves, equipment breakdowns that have to be diagnosed and fixed without outside help. A boarding by armed vigilantes in Indonesia, the killing of a cruising friend by escaped convicts in Panama and the author holding a Rumanian Marines Uzi hostage, add excitement not normally expected in a sailing venture. The expected satisfying experiences of natural beauty, the encounters with wildlife and the interaction with wonderful people along the way are not neglected. The author meets his future wife in Tonga and previously single-handing, he is now able to share his adventures with this lovely Polynesian maiden. The book is full of helpful information on various technical aspects and explanations to help even non-sailors understand and enjoy, vicariously, the sailing life. Many anecdotes illustrate the challenges and rewards of a life at sea.

Book Description
The poems of this collection are an expression of Indian thought, showing that the power of human resource is extraordinary. A boatman with a little oar can row his boat safely along dangerously rising waves if he is resourceful, self-confident, calm, patient, bold, and self-disciplined. We can, and we must, keep up hope and smile even in moments of helplessness. It is time that man discovers he is losing his Self with the changing times. With the loss of peace there is frustration. Man is beginning to lose two of his innate gifts: hope and smile. Man craves peace, but lives in tension. Living life with a negative attitude is intolerable. We cannot allow humans to lose their goodness, nor can we afford to lose the two precious gifts of hope and smile. We may sometimes feel helpless, but we must not give up hope. We must realize the power of human resource and preserve human sensibility. The author believes that he who recognizes his potential and possesses human sensibility can never be a defeated person. Given the present atmosphere, he made these ideas the theme of his poetry collection. Varindra Kumar Varma is an acclaimed Hindi writer who lives in Bilaspur, India.He was a professor and head of a philosophy department until he retired in 1995. He did some research on the logic of language, which prompted him to write an English grammar supplement in Hindi and A Grammar Guide to Clear and Correct Expression to help learners cultivate language sense and develop understanding of language use. He has authored a book on literary criticism and three collections of poetry. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/VarindraKumarVarm
