Don Williamson struggles to deal with the void left by a recent relationship breakup when he discovers that a poem he wrote in 2001 inadvertently encrypted a hidden code that the Vatican is trying to crack. Karen Crawford, a Hollywood celebrity who now lives in London, has known for many years that a unique man will come into her life. Her psychic medium friend, Angie Jakobs, told Karen he would be like no other man she had ever met. Neither lady knew when and where this man would appear, but both knew someday he would. Soon they learn that the poem’s secret code is buried deep within the text, pointing to an astronomical event witnessed on an Idaho ranch. The event sparks a hunt for the threesome, an expedition in which the Pope himself participates. Under the protection of guardian angels, the chosen three must avoid Vatican officials and evil forces at work – fallen angels who have misguided the living for many years.
Providing the philosophical, practical, and theoretical leverage for abandoning evolution and development in favor of engineering human beings, Becoming Immortal examines the directions biological change might take if civilization were to take charge of its own destiny. With the aid of embryonic manipulation, cloning, and stem-cell therapy, immortality would seem within the reach of future generations. The question is, "Do we presently have the wisdom to undertake creating immortal organisms?" The author examines every facet of this question, from theory to practice, and provides an answer through an in-depth analysis of life and death.
The nation has been shocked by the simultaneous murder of the President and all his successors, except for Ben Silver, an unpopular Cabinet Secretary. Silver, who many believe was involved in the murders, is the new president. A stunned Congress and Federal Bureaucracy are determined to get rid of Silver by any and all means possible. They are joined by Islamic jihadists who fear and hate Silver for religious and other reasons. The assassin who killed the former president offers to assist Silver as a double agent from within the jihadist movement. As the President attempts to prevent the country from collapsing into chaos, he must wrestle with the problems of accepting the intelligence assistance offered by the assassin. The assassin must himself wrestle with maintaining his position within the Islamic community, if he does in fact perform as offered. While practically everyone believes the assassin is dead, a very corrupt F.B.I. acting director and a woman who thinks she may be in love with the assassin are not so sure and both try to find him for their very different reasons.
