2023rd Edition. When does the past begin and when does the future end? Red Giant Star: A dystopian, yet still plausible notion. Konstantin T. Salmann What Goodreads.com readers are saying about this book: **** Dive into a cosmic adventure with the "Red Giant Star: Trilogy" by Konstantin Salmann! This captivating trilogy takes you on a thrilling journey through space and time, blending science and fiction seamlessly. From vivid world-building to complex characters, the author's imagination shines brilliantly. Each book in the trilogy offers a unique twist on the age-old quest for exploration and discovery, with characters who leap off the pages and into your heart. While the plot can be a bit dense at times, the payoff is worth it! The climax and resolution leave you pondering the mysteries of the universe long after the final page. Overall, "Red Giant Star: Trilogy" is a cosmic gem, earning 4 stars for its ambition, creativity, and unforgettable characters. *** I liked it! Where to start? The thing that I loved the most, is that the author is very descriptive in his writing. This makes it easy for me to imagine the world and story he built in a way that I can plough through the book with ease. But some of the prose is a bit janky, but it doesn’t affect the enjoyment that much. I think it is because the author tries to do more than just novel? It is unique it that aspect .......... Without spoiling too much, the author has built an interesting world. It would be cool to visit it someday, if it exists! (Cause who knows, maybe it does?) **** I loved this story. What a planet Errat is.. And the particle aliens. Nevon is hit by a vehicle and wakes up in another unknown territory. He has amnesia. But as soon he discovers it's not earth things are getting very different. What I loved about the book is that the author is very descriptive about this. So at one point I started to believe that this planet is real... Another thing is pace. Something is happening at every page. I wish author write more books and make it a bigger series. **** This book is an ambitious project to imagine how our world could look like in 200 years from now. The story touches a number of topics that are especially relevant in our world today: the role of technology in societies, race relations, surveillance, freedom, work (or lack thereof), and the role or function of citizens toward their societies.... ***** "A feeling of security is not brought on by the environment, but the people that surround you." This statement from the start of the book is present up to the end...... ***** Okay. I have to say that this book is wonderful and kind of a prophecy of what the future might look like. I enjoyed the flow of the novel, the setting, the description and the climax. All of this drives the reader to just turn to the next page. It's not something you can just dive into, and kudos to the author for that. Really a good job by the author......

2023 Edition. The future can finally begin! I have noticed for a long time that mankind can produce since about one century only what was described theoretically before. But a new physical law was not found any more, which means an already visible end of the horizon. I came across all the ideas described here indirectly and above all unintentionally, but for a long time I did not have the courage to actively disseminate my findings. I hesitated also because I described indeed logically, but rather philosophically. According to my theory, matter dust should not be subject to gravity because comets leave behind a dust tail, among other things. Not even on the Earth. But the matter dust seems to settle on the earth. And now that I have finally found the proof, I really need to present my ideas. The proof was right in front of me, only I didn't think about fluids.... Now I will also actively spread these ideas, because this must be investigated. Will the fine dust from exhaust fumes, nuclear reactors, smoke and viruses float forever and everywhere? If the small particles are not subject to gravity, this will have enormous and long-lasting effects. A selection of the points covered in the book: - Storms disrupt gravity. I explain the reason for this in as much detail as I could throughout the book. - Gravity is the effect of space deformation on matter. Very short explanation: The matter behaves almost exactly like the light in the curved (deformed) space. I explain the principle and, using real examples, how it works. What moves the meteors and our space probes after the thrusters are turned off? That is the drive mechanism, which is also behind gravity. For example, in this context, not everything on Earth is subject to gravity. Millions of tons of fine water particles, which we know as fog and clouds, are not subject to gravity. This is weightlessness before our eyes. - The natural cycle can only work because gravity does not always act on the earth! - The book explains in detail what gravity is, how it works and where in the universe gravity occurs. For example, gravity has nothing to do with matter and arises not only around celestial bodies, but especially in space for no visible reason. The meteorites, for example, would gradually slow down and eventually stop flying around in space without these gravity clouds. - There is no limit like the speed of light, but only a space-time limit. I explain to it what space-time is and why. - Light and matter can move faster than the speed of light, concerning the light this is already proved. Seriously, the explanation to it is included. - Space-time, velocity and gravity are properties of space. The detailed explanation is included. - Black holes do not contain matter. They also have only a weak opposing gravity. Moreover, the black holes melt the matter near them. The detailed explanation and much more about this are also included. - I also explain why stars were formed only in galaxy spiral arms or around black holes. In addition, also how planets, stars are formed, and when gravity occurs. - Intergalactic travel could be possible, and a spaceship must necessarily have the shape of a flying saucer. Are the sightings real? The detailed explanation is included. - It is irrefutably excluded that these forms exist in the universe or elsewhere: Nothingness, Infinity and Coincidence. Konstantin T. Salmann

One of TIME’s 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time Winner of the L.A. Times Ray Bradbury Prize Finalist for the 2019 National Book Award The New York Times Bestseller Named a Best Book of 2019 by The Wall Street Journal, TIME, NPR, GQ, Vogue, and The Washington Post "A fantasy world as well-realized as anything Tolkien made." --Neil Gaiman "Gripping, action-packed....The literary equivalent of a Marvel Comics universe." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times The epic novel from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of A Brief History of Seven Killings In the stunning first novel in Marlon James's Dark Star trilogy, myth, fantasy, and history come together to explore what happens when a mercenary is hired to find a missing child. Tracker is known far and wide for his skills as a hunter: "He has a nose," people say. Engaged to track down a mysterious boy who disappeared three years earlier, Tracker breaks his own rule of always working alone when he finds himself part of a group that comes together to search for the boy. The band is a hodgepodge, full of unusual characters with secrets of their own, including a shape-shifting man-animal known as Leopard. As Tracker follows the boy's scent--from one ancient city to another; into dense forests and across deep rivers--he and the band are set upon by creatures intent on destroying them. As he struggles to survive, Tracker starts to wonder: Who, really, is this boy? Why has he been missing for so long? Why do so many people want to keep Tracker from finding him? And perhaps the most important questions of all: Who is telling the truth, and who is lying? Drawing from African history and mythology and his own rich imagination, Marlon James has written a novel unlike anything that's come before it: a saga of breathtaking adventure that's also an ambitious, involving read. Defying categorization and full of unforgettable characters, Black Leopard, Red Wolf is both surprising and profound as it explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, and our need to understand them both.

This book is an Anthology of Gregory Lessing Garrett's writings and others on the topic of Flat Earth Plane Cosmology of all types, including Enclosed Earth, Hollow Earth, Concave Earth, Infinite Plane Earth, The Enochian Earth Model, etc... The hope is that the ideas expounded in this Flat Earth Trilogy series will provide compelling justifications for the claim that no curvature can be found on the Earth, which points to the empirical conclusion that we live on a plane and not a spinning ball in science fiction outer space. The details regarding the possible topography of the Earth are discussed in depth in this book, but ultimately, the absolute true topography of the Earth is not known by anyone. -Gregory Lessing Garrett

That they will own the land their father gave them.” “I live for you,” I say sadly. Eo kisses my cheek. “Then you must live for more.” Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations.

Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.

He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society’s ruling class.
