"Doctor Todt" is the first historical fiction novel in a series of 8, with the collective title After the Flood. "The Flood" is not a Noah's ark thing but the increasingly obvious fact that the human race is less and less capable to manage its habitat: Earth. As for a reversal, experts determined that the point of no return was passed in 1981 then, typically, classified. Few were prepared to listen anyway. The greatest enemy of man is man himself. I wrote about that in "The Spine of Western Culture" then, started on this epic account of capable and well-informed people who work on ultra-deep level, preparing to survive and be ready to resurface and rebuild the post-deluvian remains, in a way that makes a repetition of what caused the catastrophe impossible to repeat. The storyline stretches from the last fugitives leaving flaming Berlin in 1945 to survival stations orbiting somewhere in the northern hemisphere around 2050.
Feral children, "enfants loups", moved through southern France. The Vagrant Volves formes armed units, "the Black Corps" protecting the white. The children met in Spain at "Wolf's Ridge" howling through the night.
Scrolls of the ancient Sethians, chronicling the deluge, mention a passionate wife of Noah's by the name of Norea, who came from an unknown land far away. Her name means "fire" and she burned off the worthless souls clinging to the rump of the ark as it floated free of the ground. But some say that she existed even before God said "let there be light!" No one dared mention this while Christianity reigned supreme but, Shelley, the poet, knew the land's whereabouts and the name of its ruler.

Douglas Ayr's submarine began an uncontrolled dive toward the massive plain of the seamount at nine hundred feet, leaving her sister vessel, the Helena, as a dark spec against the distant moon-silver surface. "Dive, go after him!" Martin shouted. Having dodged the sinking debris, the Helena started a crash dive. Meanwhile, the sub had gone from tail up to nose up and kept sinking slowly at a thirty-degree angle. The tail hit the barren stone plain first, crushing the planes and screws. Then, the boat settled on its keel in a horizontal position, resting on the three beams that were still in place under the belly. The Helena descended on an even keel. "I've got her on sonar," Benny reported, "belly landing." "Put us next to her," Martin said, striving to speak clearly. Chris, Van, Greg, Rainer, Young, Woo, Huang, Brian--all the others were in shock.

Suddenly, Greg felt dizzy and tried to look around. In the first class section of the Air France A 380, the others seemed to be dropping off to sleep. Muffled cries sounded from the cockpit area. The huge plane heeded over and went into a dive.

In The Tree in the Lightworld, the author examines the vine symbol in Mandaeanism, the only surviving Gnostic religion from ancient times. Most Mandaeans still live in their traditional areas in southern and southwestern Iran. The book shows how the vine is a significant symbol in this religion and that it occurs very often in Mandaean literature compared to other Gnostic and Jewish writings. The motif provides a broad variety of meanings, with the Tree of Life as the most important symbolic content. Additionally, the book shows how the vine symbol is also connected to both dark and light beings in the universe, and the author looks at the striking parallels between the Mandaean vine and Jesus' famous words about the vine in the gospel of John.
Shadow Echo Me The Life and Times of Thomas Wiggin, 16011666 The Making of American Values by Joyce Wiggin-Robbins Thomas Wiggin, captain and governor in Colonial New Hampshire, was an accumulation of moral values, religious principals, political and European conflicts, and all the desires typical for a man of his era. With a heritage as a son of the clergy, being well educated, with a history of advantageous networking, Thomas would become the example of the discipline and strength needed to establish a home in the New England wilderness of the seventeenth century. Turning his back to a cultured, established, and predictable life in England, he chose to bring a wife and carve a life out of the wilderness and bring up his children in a place of wide-open opportunity and freedoms. It was men like Thomas Wiggin who became the backbone of the future United States of America.
