The Obscured Journey : Jerald Albritton

The Obscured Journey : Jerald AlbrittonThe human condition is one riddled with complexities about the path we yearn for, who we are and what we believe.

We have become so dogmatic in our own beliefs that when they don’t come to fruition or we find them to be a hoax; our journey can come crashing down with doubt, fear, and uncertainty.

Many individuals think they know why they are doing what they do, where they will end up, or who they wish to be in 3 to 7 years until a catastrophic event called life occurs. We dream to live adventurously but the fear of change confines us to only existing, which is to survive in the fog of society thus creating a disoriented/invisible sensation.

The unknown causes our thoughts to imprison us as we ponder if we will ever be content or if we will forever be in debt paying bills. We work hard to be accepted instead of acknowledged. We wonder about our next occupation or what comes after retirement. We worry about things we can’t control then suffer from anxiety. Our breath is limited by our determination and imagination yet those things we can take hold of.

We exclaim at times to be lost, but to be lost is to know where X marks the spot yet unclear on how to get there. So the question is:

What’s the Journey toward X?

This book is meant to help you not only choose your path, but how to choose it wisely and magnanimously.

SuperCOIL : Robert Ari

SuperCOIL : Robert AriWhen a Top Secret newly designed stealth bomber disappears off the Florida coast following an aerial refueling accident and is presumed destroyed, Lieutenant Ian Ryson is appointed by the President to investigate possible foul play.

Ryson, an ex-military aviator with expertise in stealth technology, sets out to inspect the secretive airbase where the aircraft was furtively developed. He is, however, soon immersed in a web of deception, treachery and murder instigated by Colonel Gorik, the ruthless base commander intent on thwarting the uncovering of his sinister past connected to the bomber’s fate.

Before long, Ryson learns that the radar-invisible craft, code-named SuperCOIL, carries the ultimate weapon: an airborne, chemically fueled “COIL” laser powerful enough to shoot down scores of missiles in mid-flight, thus revolutionizing air combat.

As events unfold, Ryson discovers the SuperCOIL might not have been destroyed as believed but might have been commandeered by its maniacal test pilot turned mercenary.

A race is now on against time to uncover, at all costs, the true motives behind the theft, locate and confront a matchless aviator commanding the most formidable air-combat craft ever devised, and prevent the priceless secrets of the United States’ greatest super-weapon from falling into the wrong hands.

Lost Boy : Rawiri James

Lost Boy : Rawiri JamesOverdue assignments. Overbearing parents. Overactive hormones.

Being sixteen sure does suck sometimes.

Yet Mike DeVelli Jr. knows he is destined for greatness. His mother always told him so – at least, until the unfortunate day an overdose took her to an early grave. As grief befalls the DeVelli house, Mike’s father retreats to the liquor bottle, while Mike throws himself obsessively into exercise. All this, while avoiding the pitying gazes of the students at school whom he always struggled to fit in with.

It’s not all bad, though. He has his best friend Joey, a loyal and quick-witted kid who’s raging libido brings its own troubles; and he has Nicole, his girlfriend of nearly two years. Sweet, strong Nicole. She knows Mike even better than he knows himself. Lately, he’s been acting different. Distant, weird, with an arrogance even his newly-formed six-pack doesn’t warrant. Nicole has noticed. And she’s not the only one.

Mike catches the eye of popular It Girl, Priya, at school. Flirtation spills over and they agree to meet, but she fails to show, and Mike feels rejected yet again. Priya is soon reported missing and Mike becomes a lead suspect in her disappearance. As the town of Flatbush searches desperately for Priya, the investigation mounts, with many residents under the magnifying glass of Inspector Peter McCall and Officer Espinoza. The evidence continues to point in Mike’s direction and with the help of Nicole and Joey, the three teenagers decide their only option is to uncover the identity of the real culprit.

Getting closer to the truth, he learns that his seemingly ordinary family tree has supernatural roots, and as he comes face to face with a hungry, evil enemy, he discovers a power inside himself that will create a wave of change in the world.

Touching on themes of addiction, loss and racial identity, Lost Boy is an engaging coming-of-age story, an entertaining superhero origin tale, and a suspenseful mystery thriller, all in one.
