About The Apple: Story Sparks Tale Number 2 (Grandpa B’s Story Sparks):

In “The Apple,” a groundbreaking scientific endeavor teeters on the brink of history and horror. After years of research and millions spent, a team of scientists achieves the impossible—teleporting an apple across buildings. But their triumph turns to trepidation when the apple reappears not as it was sent, but with a sinister bite taken out of it.

As celebration turns to suspicion, the team faces questions they hadn’t dared to consider. Who, or what, took a bite from the apple? With their discovery shrouded in mystery and menace, the scientists vow to bury their knowledge. But Dr. Bloom, one of their own, defies the silence. Her quest for the truth pushes her into a shadowy realm of fear and paranoia, leading to her sudden, chilling disappearance.

“The Apple” is a riveting short story that blends science fiction with suspense, exploring the unintended consequences of tampering with the unknown. What lies on the other side of innovation might just be the most formidable adversary of all.

Then, stay tuned for a bonus story from Grandpa B. called “The Last Transmission.”

The Lightbridge Method: A Stewards of Octarma Tale of Short Proportions

About The Lightbridge Method: A Stewards of Octarma Tale of Short Proportions:

Safety checks …
purely optional

Twins Jonathon and Nickolas Milarum work for Qurkition galaxy’s largest children’s entertainment company, IAFE. They are its worst employees. They are also flat broke, supremely bored, and dislike children. Quite the trifecta considering their family owns the business in question — It’s All for Effect.

When a glitch in the IAFE booking system gives the brothers the chance to take on a profitable, though questionable, side-hustle — event managing the largest celebration that Zertian 11 has ever seen — they jump at the chance to clear their mountain of debt. The fact that the gig is to celebrate a ruthless criminal overlord’s birth-cycle day, oh that, and his triumph over a rival mob family, is of minor concern as ethics had left that building long ago.

Joined by their new apprentice, Berkely Bing-Beekeson, and their spaceship’s gambling junkie computer, M011y, the brothers set out to seek their fame and fortune in the event entertainment business.

What could go wrong?

The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 2): What Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu Teach us about the Dueling Philosophies of War and Peace in the Very Best Star Trek Stories by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

About The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 2): What Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu Teach us about the Dueling Philosophies of War and Peace in the Very Best Star Trek Stories by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella:

Similar in tone and content in book one of this series,The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume Two), examines the very best stories of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager with an application of important ideas on war and peace as introduced by Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu centuries ago.

In just over ninety Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager stories reviewed in volume two, the book also links important concepts or proverbs attributed to either Sun Tzu or Lao Tzu with character arcs and problems in contemporary society.

In each lesson associated with specific Star Trek tales, story interpretation is used to show how the heroes – and villains, demonstrate the best and worst of human qualities as they attempt to work out problems in an interpersonal, inter-species or interplanetary way. Once these tales are reviewed, and prominent characters discussed, readers can more easily see how Taoist and militaristic ideas propel their favorite good and evil Bajoran, Ferengi, Cardassian, and others towards the right and wrong decisions in typical human dilemmas found in life and death matters.

Throughout this book, Star Trek stories in general are used as metaphors to illustrate the two Chinese philosophers wisdom in mini-lessons, applying their ideas to current day events. As such, Gene Roddenberry’s use of science fiction as an arena of social commentary works in an intellectual manner and not only for entertainment purposes. Thus, Star Trek can act as a self-help guide, showing us how to improve our personal outlook on society and ourselves. We need not surrender to violent tendencies commonly found in humanity, but should focus on the peaceful potential deep inside of all of us.

At the end of every story analyzed in this book, Everyday Reflections and Everyday Actions are recommended for the reader to take to heart and consider in their lives. Each Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager story discussed in this book provides an important lesson that we can tie into either historical or current day situations as well.

The author challenges the reader to connect Lao Tzu and Sun Tzu’s ideas to their everyday lives.

By taking a positive, proactive role in our everyday life with others, Star Trek stories can give direction for both self-improvement with interactions with others and in society in general.

Looking closely, we can more easily see why Captain Benjamin Sisko and Captain Kathryn Janeway made leadership decisions that shaped not only their crews but the lives of millions of other species across various quadrants of the galaxy?. If we examine the philosophy of Taoism and military leaders of the past, we can more easily understand their motives to preserve justice, life and freedom for their corners of the galaxy.

It is this author’s hope that the reader finds a personal road map on how to conduct his/herself in this complicated and dangerous world through the very human stories of Star Trek.

The Amorphan Effect by K. E. Brungardt

The Amorphan Effect by K. E. Brungardt

Shapeshifting is impossible.
It’s not my only secret.
About to embark on a two-week journey to a far-off planet to become an exchange student at an alien university. I’m honored and thrilled to be chosen for this first-of-a-kind adventure.. But seconds before departing, Mom tasks me with uncovering the truth of how my brother, Devon, died on the same starship many years before.

I’m not a detective and Mom knows it so she must be desperate. I have very little to go on except an illegal copy of Mom’s memories that she pressed into my hand at the last second. How she expects me to find the answer all these years later baffles me, but, hey, it’s Mom so I’ll try in spite of the danger to myself.

Early in my journey with four other human students, I find out the hard way that I am a shapeshifter. This is huge because there are no others like me. At all. I don’t know why or how but I know it’s real. Is this new ability somehow connected to my brother’s death?

My sentient, telepathic hair and shapeshifting abilities are definitely assets during my investigation—as long as I can keep them hidden from everyone else, human and Imurian. But, when I uncover a deadly conspiracy, I need help—but who among my classmates and the Imurians can I trust?

With only two weeks onboard for this journey and very few clues, can I solve Devon’s mysterious death? An even bigger question is how do I keep my strange abilities secret and can I survive their discovery?

If you’re looking for your next incredible new syfy read, check out The Amorphan Effect. Featuring an unsettling mystery, a shapeshifter in space, and an evil plot, this YA coming of age story has you covered. It even has a cat-like alien race that controls space travel.
