BISAC: Fiction / Thrillers
In the modern world, the factions of governments, religions, and military powers are scrambling to answer one question: Who controls the Fear that controls all people? Dr Karol Seguin has been hired by her publishing company to document the day to day decisions of the current president of the United States. He has uncanny intelligence and universal popular regard. And from his impending resume of distinction, his constituency has commissioned that his life be documented as in line with the great leaders of history. Karol and her acquaintances, Col. Thomas Graile and Justice Mel Sodeq, are bombarded with a flurry of new questions. Is there technology to boldly manipulate the many populations of the world by only one person? Are there secrets of antiquity that give hints and clues to a power greater than mortality? What is a legend? What is a conqueror? Ultimately, three questions exist: Is the world controlled by omnipotence or debilitation? Is it better to be omnipresent or to be continual in spirit? And the greatest of these questions is: Will the minds of conquerable people fall by the individual who is omniscient or the individual who can impose confusion? Mandolin Dead Man's Tuning Christmas Edition B&W: Christmas Edition Black and White

The narrator details of what started out as a science fair project in middle school, but grew into his post graduate and ultimately life work. His genetic creation of diminutive creatures he dubs "fairies," grows from a couple little people into a whole society of creatures complete with all of the social problems that humans face. When he genetically develops the perfect creature to teach the rest of his "children" how to live, something goes terribly wrong, and his atrium will never be the same...

Included in this volume are several poems that were also published in the Christian Sci-Fi Journal.
