In the sultry, supernatural underbelly of New Orleans, death comes calling with a name. As Infernal assassins begin stalking a magical district known as the Haint, an uneasy alliance forms between sworn enemies. Storm witch Lena Nevers summons a warrior's soul from another reality to settle an old debt, and everyone gets more than they bargained for—a displaced spirit, a demon-slayer, and a dark soul that hungers for more. Awakening in a dead gangster's body with his true identity stripped away, the warrior finds himself an unwilling pawn in a supernatural power struggle. Taking the name and fractured memories of his host, Ciro Case, he must navigate a world where witches wield cosmic power, Lycans guard mystical neighborhoods, and vampires broker deals between all sides. In a city where every soul has a price and every spell demands payment, the greatest threat may not be the demons hunting in the shadows—it might be the hijacked soul or those seeking to bring him down. Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files or Kim Harrison’s The Hollows series, Saintsville blends a political thriller, urban paranormal fantasy, and crime noir into a tale of divided loyalties, dark magic, and the river that runs through it all.-

Sir Isaac Newton famously complained about “action at a distance.” How was it possible, he wrote, that gravity, or attraction, operated between objects without physical contact? Well, jump to the twenty-first century, and we have a lot more to say about that. Readers will enjoy a brilliant, outrageous, playful exploration of quantum physics in everyday life, from a secret interplay of TV plots with us, in electricity, to other speculations, founded in the author’s decades of initiations as well as being an original thinker and a scholar.
An unusual feature of the illustrations in AN UNDERGROUND PRINCIPIA is a technique called “computer-PK,” or mind through matter in the creation of printouts that refocus the text on-screen in the printing so that nothing happens twice. As in Einstein’s “Credo,” the author exemplifies: “The most beautiful and deepest experience [one] can have is the sense of the mysterious.”Even more amazing is that you include the most subtle levels of existence that play a role in these processes. An Underground PRINCIPIA connects life purpose, spirituality, depth psychology, and quantum physics into one all-encompassing movement.
