Undying Love Mystery Sealed in the Great Beyond DREAMSTAR — Ghostly Call A ship’s bell faintly sounded in the distance. In this direction, David looked up higher toward the large Magellan Cloud and its entrance guard, the Tarantula Star. For several seconds, a deadly quiet engulfed the drifting, mysterious clouds. Then he saw it. The mariner’s vessel… sailing into the large cloud formation. David knew the ghostly figure garbed in hooded white, positioned at the helm. The spirit beckoned, waiting. — Rendezvous above the Southern Cross, Ch. 15 A courageous leap up into the night sky to answer a ghostly call of his deceased grandfather — an Army casualty of the Vietnam War — leads to frightening and supernatural events for David Raymond Stone. Reality and recurring dreams have become almost indistinguishable as David wrestles with his tormented thoughts about honoring a war-slain grandfather whose name is etched on a menacing black Wall, while trying to unravel a forgotten mystery. Having reached a pivotal point in life as sudden, blossoming love delights his senses and captivates his heart, David grows more perplexed as his grandfather’s spirit carries him to seafaring venues revealing a mariner’s means, a brass key perhaps fitting a wooden box, and a long-lost letter — all seemingly connected to Polaris. Painting starry constellations to win a possible art scholarship, and hoping for a chance with ethereal beauty Rachel, are at the highest rung while David copes with life-threatening, dangerous odds at school. Still, to complicate David’s struggles further, the mysterious ghost continues to pursue him — an entity that he had never seen, or before known — yet appears to be somehow, like him. DREAMSTAR Ghostly Call connects mystery and generational love with real war history, changing a family’s life by the loss of their beloved relative, a patriotic young Army soldier who served in the Vietnam War. Jonathan David Stone was that brave solider, doing his duty, as ordered by his country, when killed in action. This book is meant to hold sacred all the brave American men and women [tragically so many young like this story’s symbolic spirit] who sacrificed and served in a “senseless war” — and looks to God for solace and guidance in healing. In connecting with his grandfather’s spirit and the North Star, David Raymond Stone may just find it’s only the beginning of finding the eternal key to all that should be known, and held forever, sacred.

The fantastic collection of bestselling author Brian Herbert’s short fiction, a volume packed with highly imaginative, intriguing stories and ideas. This is the first collection of Brian Herbert’s short fiction, a volume that is packed with highly imaginative, intriguing stories and ideas. In the previously unpublished “Death of the Internet,: Under Burning Skies,” the internet is wiped out—forever!—leaving hundreds of millions of people unable to function without a technology that they have become addicted to, and totally dependent upon. Another previously unpublished story, "Earth Games" describes an alien world where Earth people are kept prisoner and forced to perform competitions with hotrod automobiles. Those games strongly resemble rush-hour commute experiences in major U.S. cities, where drivers compete for lane space and make rude hand gestures to one another. A slight difference: the cars in this story have machine guns on the fenders, and cannons on the rooftops! Two of the stories in this collection—“Earth Games” and “The Stakeout”—were edited by Brian’s father Frank Herbert, the famed author of DUNE, in the early 1980s, and rewritten by Brian, with those expert comments in mind. A New York Times-bestselling author, Brian has written many works of fiction and non-fiction. Brian is best known as the coauthor of 14 new Dune-series novels, written with Kevin J. Anderson. In his solo books, Brian is known for addressing important social issues, such as the environment, politics, and religion. In his highly original novel OCEAN, the ocean and its sea creatures declare war on human civilization, in retaliation for pollution and other human-caused abuses that are fouling the waters of the planet. In DANGEROUS WORLDS, the characters find themselves in an ocean of deep, deep trouble, and must try to get out of seemingly impossible situations. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don’t!
