ClickThe Ultimate Reprieve – Sci-Fi Novel Weaves Einstein’s Theory and a Quantum Theoretical Solution here to set a title.

Author Daniel Romm weaves Einstein’s theory of relativity and a quantum theoretical solution into layman’s terms and explains their implications through the sci-fi novel The Ultimate Reprieve.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) – May 03, 2010 – After discovering a flaw in Einstein’s theory of relativity and a quantum theoretical solution to the paradox of time travel into one’s past, author Daniel Romm was inspired to weave both ideas into layman’s terms and explain their implications through the sci-fi novel The Ultimate Reprieve.

Ben Davis, a student at the prestigious Academy of Science, receives an ominous message, purportedly from the future, which he deems to be a hoax. Fast forward one century when worldwide oil reserves are nearly depleted. The Academy’s own Professor Richardson develops a solution and Ben, still alive as a result of biomedical advances, is sent on a mission in space to implement it. Another century later, civilization’s existence is threatened when a black hole near Mercury arises that will eventually engulf the sun. The Academy is called upon to save mankind. Ben is transported to the past in a time machine so he can warn the world in time to correct course. But since contradictory futures are paradoxical and forbidden to arise in nature, how will Ben be able to go back 200 years and change the outcome? The Ultimate Reprieve is a vision of mankind’s finest hour as the world faces inevitable doom.

The Ultimate Reprieve (ISBN: 978-1-60911-592-0) will be available April 28, 2010 for $10.95 and can be ordered through the publisher’s Web site: http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TheUltimat …

Book Synopsis

Fifteen-year-old Megan Laughlin has a gift; or what seems like a curse at times. Megan sees angels and demons. Megan knows her destiny is to protect her friends against dark angels who try to sway them into situations that can destroy their souls, their lives, and their eternity. At school, she recognizes Judas, anüber popular boy, as a demon hell-bent on destroying her and everyone she loves. As Judas spreads horrible rumors and overdoses two of her classmates at a rave, Megan realizes the enormity of his power. While classmates die, Megan, with the help of an angel, Johnny, and a team of friends will face the fight of their lives as they battle Judas. Megan thinks God hasn’t given her any “special” powers, but discovers she has what she needs as she confronts Judas and his seemingly unconquerable power.

David Beasley Book Signing September 16, 2010

You are cordially invited to a talk:       At 7 p.m. on Thursday September 16, 2010 

at the Norfolk Arts Centre on Lynwood St in Simcoe, 

David Beasley, author of the popular novels Sarah’s Journey and From Bloody Beginnings; Richard Beasley’s Upper Canada, will launch two books: 

his novel Violet’s Flight about the escape from Burma of tens of thousands over the Himalayas to India at the time of the Japanese invasion in 1942, the war and occupation in Burma from the perspective not just of the Burmese, but of Japanese officers and the clandestine forces. 

It concludes with the assassination of Aung San which led to the Burma of today. Much of it is told from the viewpoint of Violet and her father Aloysius Nicholas. Violet lived her last years in Simcoe. Before she died she left her remembrances of growing up in Burma with David Beasley. 

The second book, Violet Beasley’s The Role of Memory in the Poetry of Alfred Lord Tennyson discusses insightfully Tennyson’s best poems, “In Memoriam”, “Maud”, and “Idylls of the King” and how Tennyson used memory for creative inspiration.

Violet wrote: The chief importance of memory in Tennyson’s poetry is that, through it, he presents his diverse themes in a variety of ways. By analyzing his use of memory in his poetry, therefore, this study attempts to show Tennyson as the abiding experimentalist in the use of the poetic memory.

It includes a brief biography of Violet Beasley and her essay, Background of Memory in Literature [from St Augustine through Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Wordsworth et al.].
