2. Bottleneck, Our human interface with reality by Richard Epworth

   About Bottleneck, Our human interface with reality by Richard Epworth:

   Bottleneck is aimed at anyone who is interested in the science behind our everyday human experience, and how we learn about the world around us. It takes you on the author’s own journey of discovery, revealing insights that will forever change your perspective on the world around you, and your insight into other people.

   “Brilliant: We live in a world of megabyte junkies, where people have an insatiable appetite for information bandwidth. Against this back drop Richard Epworth stands back from the crowd and asks an important question. Of all this information that we gobble up, how much do we actually digest? It’s hard to pigeon hole this book, as Richard explores the vaults of science, psychology and philosophy to search for answers. And the answers he finds are startling. An easy read, full of novel ideas”. – BF

   Author Bio:
   I was part of the UK research team that brought optical fibre communications to the world. While spending four decades developing ways of squeezing ever higher information rates down optical fibres, I became fascinated by the contrastingly tiny rate that we humans can actually absorb any new information. The implications seemed so incredible that I began to research just how our senses perceive the world around us, using eye tracking technology. What I learned was so shocking that felt compelled to write about it and now “Bottleneck” is the result.

3. A Life Singular – Part Two by Lorraine Pestell

   
   About A Life Singular – Part Two by Lorraine Pestell

   Part Two will be discounted from $3.99 to $1.99 during March 2014 from Amazon.

   The second in a six-part novel serial, ‘A Life Singular – Part Two’ continues the journey back through the life of Jeff Diamond, millionnaire celebrity and philanthropist, as he writes his autobiography. Part Two documents a childhood of neglect and violence which leaves Jeff with permanent mental scars and a burning ambition to change the world. He meets his soul-mate, a teenaged pop sensation from a privileged background, whose parents have other ideas for their daughter. We look back over the shoulders of Jeff and his two children, as they retrace the couple’s early years.

   The serial’s themes are triumph over mental illness, the choices between right and wrong and the relentless passage of time. Lorraine Pestell, herself a longstanding sufferer of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, uses the universal media of love, celebrity, fame and fortune with two goals in mind: first, to inspire fellow sufferers to rise above their symptoms and make a success of their lives; and second, to encourage non-sufferers to support, tolerate, include and even love afflicted people in their quest to live a ‘normal’ life.

   ‘A Life Singular – Part One’ was released in June 2013, followed by ‘A Life Singular – Part Two’ in December 2013. The author aims to release the remaining four parts at six-monthly intervals.

   About The Calypsis Project:

   “For what we seek is what we fear . . . But with great ambition comes greater sacrifice.”

   _______________________________________________

   Humanity has all but abandoned a dying Earth, ravaged by plague and pollution.

   Six decades following the colonization of the planet Anahk, a series of events triggers a devastating war between the United Nations Planetary Defense and an extraterrestrial organization known as the Drocain Royal Empire.

   NOVEMBER 2438 . . .

   Ten years have passed and still the battle rages on. With no signs of a conclusion in sight, the men and women of the UNPD have been forced into desperation as the human race moves ever closer to the brink of defeat.

   And now, the fate of the entire galaxy may rest on the shoulders of a single alien warrior: the shamed graduate, Kenon Valinquint—a young Drahkori who enrolls in the Drocain Royal Empire in the hopes of one day redeeming himself.

   Unbeknownst to the young warrior, his decision has set in motion a staggering chain of events that could very well change the direction of the war, and the known history of the universe, forever.

7. World of Jinn: Awakenings

   About World of Jinn: Awakenings:

   A war was fought in the Jinn world between the Shaitans and the Amin. The Shaitans won, leaving the evil King Iblis as primary ruler over the five Jinn kingdoms. Years later, five humans are taken to the Jinn world after almost being killed by a group of ghouls. In a hidden mountain city the humans are told by Queen Daaina that they are in fact Jinn, and that they must shed their human bodies and become Jinn again. After this they can lead the Amin to victory, and destroy Iblis and his army of ghouls once and for all. To become Jinn again, they must retrieve Ambrosia plants hidden throughout the world, and battle more ghouls along the way. Inevitably, it will not be their external enemies that are their greatest danger, but instead a traitor from within.

   The World of Jinn trilogy will explore the best and worst of humankind. This first book introduces us to the main characters and recounts the past Jinn lives of three of the five main characters. The trilogy was inspired by various tales of the ‘Jinn’ in the Qur’an and Arabian folklore. Although centered on creatures mentioned in Islam, this book examines many paths of faith and argues that regardless of where our beliefs originate, it is our actions that define us.

   Author Bio:
   A computer analyst by day and a hobby writer by night.

   I have been writing since I was about six years old. Back then I wrote songs and short stories about school kids that I imagined, at the time, were funny. In my early teen years I started to branch in to “horror” novels (which I imagined, at the time, were scary). When I was about fifteen I read The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the complete Ender series (Orson Scott Card), and the complete Rama series (Arthur C. Clarke) all in one summer, and from then on my passion has been creating fantasy and science fiction stories.

   My current series, The World of Jinn, is the first story that I have decided to publish. I created most of it in my early twenties. I picked it up again last year after having worked many years hard at school-too many tech books to read and no time for anything fun! Anyways I am excited to have the first book out, and I hope at the very least people find a good amount of entertainment value from them.

10. An Involuntary Spy

    About An Involuntary Spy:

    Become entangled in a situation of a normal guy forced into being a spy:

    Seth Rogan was a shitty spy. Actually, he wasn’t a spy at all. Just a guy trying to do the right thing. As a biologist for the largest biotech company in the world, he had a great job, and thoroughly enjoyed all the perks. But when asked to do some tests on the company’s genetically engineered (GMO) foods, he became entangled in a trail of corruption, fraud and conspiracy that he wanted no part of, but could not escape from. In a story of mystery and intrigue so true to life it could almost be from today’s newspapers, Seth, having bit the hand who fed him, is on the run from them, and the full overreaching strength of the United States government, not as a whistleblower, but as a fugitive, charged with espionage, who finds temporary refuge with an old enemy of the U.S. But his peace is about to be broken as he finds himself in the role of an involuntary spy.

    Go with our hero on a roller coaster thrill ride of international intrigue and cat and mouse espionage:

    Seth follows his instincts and does what he thinks is right, but faces danger at every twist and turn. Is this genetic engineering science or science fiction? Fleeing the country like Edward Snowden, Seth wages a battle of wits against the CIA and double agents to bring the message of the dangers of genetically engineered Frankenfoods to the people.
