| broken god david zindell: Shanidar David Zindell, 2020-01-28 What is the most human thing a human being can do? The question of what it means to be human lies at the heart of these stories of inner and outer adventures of the human spirit. In Shanidar, a restless, overly civilized man tires of the oppressive existence of the trillions of citizens of the Civilized Worlds spread across the stars. Goshevan seeks a different way of living, a way to be new. His quest takes him to the world of Icefall, home to the Order of Mystic Mathematicians and Other Seekers of the Ineffable Flame (and also the topological nexus of the galaxy). In the city of Neverness, whose streets are colored ice, he finds cutter who carks his body into the shape of the Neanderthal-like Alaloi who have long ago peopled the frozen islands west of Neverness. For the Alaloi, like Goshevan, have their own dreams of how human beings should live in a deadly and incomprehensible universe. In The Dreamer's Sleep, some of the same Elidi birdmen who dwell in Neverness have been enslaved and made to work in a mine. They, too, are dreamers; in fact, without the dreams of the one who tells them stories of flying free across open, blue skies, they cannot survive. In Caverns, survival is not the problem, but the scientist Richard Stone faces the cruelest of decisions: should he remain human for the sake of the woman he loves or should he become something incomprehensibly more? When The Rose Is Dead puts the survivors of war in the Endless City through the hell of memory and forgetting - and explores the possibilities of overcoming death through remembering those we love. Shanidar And Other Stories opens the gateway to Neverness, the internationally bestselling novel that introduces the epic A Requiem For Homo Sapiens trilogy.

| broken god david zindell: The Diamond Warriors David Zindell, 2019-10 Can loving the enemy you hate be the only way to defeat him? Valashu Elahad, son of an ancient line of kings, must claim the throne of Mesh if he is to have any hope of defeating Morjin, the fallen Elijin, the great Red Dragon. It seems impossible that he will ever do this. He has endured injustice and disgrace, and has lived as an outcast, practically as an outlaw. He has fled his land in shame to seek the Maitreya: the one person for whom the stolen Lightstone was meant. If he can regain the Lightstone for this great-souled being, then the golden cup might be used to quicken the peoples of the universe of Eluru in a great cosmic event called the Valkariad: the Ardun, the people of the earth, will be raised up as Valari who in turn will become immortal Elijin - even as the Elijin become the great Galadin who can never be killed. And the Galadin will go on to become Ieldra in creating new universes out the substance of their bodies and souls. If Val does not place the Lightstone in the Maitreya's hands, then Morjin will free his master, Angra Mainyu, the Baaloch, once the greatest of the Galadin who has been imprisoned on the world of Damoom for a million years. Through a hole in the earth known as the Skadarak, Angra Mainyu sends a swirling blackness to slay Val. The more Val fights it, the more he hates it, the more power it gains and the more it harms him. So it will be if he faces Morjin in the great battle that has been building for years and ages. Val fears fighting this battle because a great scryer has foretold that: His fate is yours. If you kill him, you kill yourself. More than death, though, he fears himself. If hate triumphs and Val fails, then Ea will fall and all of Eluru will fall into corruption and irreversible decay, becoming a dark universe that the Ieldra will need to destroy. The Diamond Warriors brings to a magnificent conclusion the internationally acclaimed Ea Cycle that began with The Lightstone, Lord Of Lies, and Black Jade.

| broken god david zindell: Splendor David Zindell, 2015 Why did the world get so screwed up? How can we best live in it? What can we do to find meaning and purpose in our lives when it seems we might destroy the earth?As visionary as the author's novels, David Zindell's memoir Splendor interweaves the intensely personal and the spiritual into a brilliant tapestry of literature, history, science, and evolution. Both a philosophical thriller and an age-old quest ranging over millennia, it also recounts meetings with Timothy Leary, Robin Williams, Ken Wilber, and others famous, infamous, and unknown who shaped the true Greatest Generation known as the Baby Boomers.From the terror of nuclear annihilation during the Cuban Missile Crisis to the shootings at Kent State and Virginia Tech, which touched the author personally, Zindell's new book tells of how a writer seeks experience and how that is translated into literature - and how writing itself can be an expression of the mysterious evolutionary force called splendor. This is one person's story and everyone's, for the flowering of our inherent splendor that will lead to a new way of living on earth is really just the story of the human race and how we will find our way toward an almost unimaginably brilliant future. |

| broken god david zindell: Trial by Fire Kaia Anderson, 2017-08-27 THE ONLY WAY OUT OF THE MADNESS IS IN When Kaia Anderson, twenty-three and newly married, turns to her future, she doesn't see it coming--the ruthless hunt of a deranged stalker that, spanning three decades, will shatter her life and terrorize her family. He'd been a college classmate, a casual acquaintance. But mental illness swiftly takes hold and so does his obsession. Their lives under siege, Kaia fights fiercely for safety and justice until--consumed by fear, tormented by the insanity of the courts--she stands at a crossroads and only one thing is clear: Either she will lose herself or find herself, but she must change direction. Desperate for answers, she embarks on a path of self-discovery, a psycho-spiritual journey unlike any she's known. Guided by a counselor, lured by clues revealed in her ongoing battle, Kaia travels to the furthest reaches of her unconscious mind: deep, shadowy places where long-buried secrets of the soul reside; forgotten places that beckon her to remember; places where she unearths hidden wisdom that, step upon step, transforms her and so, her experience. Rife with the suspense of a legal thriller and the depth of an existential quest, Trial by Fire boldly cleaves the boundary of the true crime memoir. With stirring prose and a thread of wry humor, the author intertwines her harrowing ordeal, introspection, dreams, visions, and courtroom drama, pulling us inescapably into this gripping work. An unforgettable story of terror, heartbreak, loss, and ultimately, profound healing and hope, Trial by Fire casts a piercing light on the long dark night, illuminating the wisdom and power in each of us, begging to emerge. Kaia's case spurred the overhaul of Colorado's stalking law. Investigation Discovery's documentary series, Stalked, featured her story. |

| broken god david zindell: The Algebraist Iain M. Banks, 2008-09-04 The novels of Iain M. Banks have forever changed the face of modern science fiction. With breathtaking imagination and extraordinary storytelling, they have secured his reputation as one of the most extraordinary and influential writers in the genre. 'Banks is a phenomenon' William Gibson It is 4034 AD. Humanity has made it to the stars but Fassin Taak, a Slow Seer at the Court of the Nasqueron Dwellers, will be fortunate if he makes it to the end of the year. The Nasqueron Dwellers inhabit a gas giant on the outskirts of the galaxy, in a system awaiting its wormhole connection to the rest of civilisation. In the meantime, they are dismissed as decadents living in a state of highly developed barbarism, hoarding data without order, hunting their own young and fighting pointless formal wars. Abruptly seconded to a military-religious order he's barely heard of - part of the baroque hierarchy of the Mercatoria, the latest galactic hegemony - Fassin Taak has to travel again amongst the Dwellers. He is in search of a secret hidden for half a billion years. But with each day that passes a war draws closer - a war that threatens to overwhelm everything and everyone he's ever known.

| broken god david zindell: The Death of Death José Cordeiro, David Wood, 2023-06-29 Is death inevitable? Until now, the history of mankind has been marked by this fatal fact. Religions, borders and progress are born from an ancient fear of death, comfort from this fear man often found only in religious paradigms. But according to José Luis Cordeiro and David Wood, the incontrovertible fact of death is no longer an absolute certainty - science and technology are preparing to tear down the final frontier: that of immortality. This accessible book provides insight into recent exponential advances in artificial intelligence, tissue regeneration, stem cell treatment, organ printing, cryopreservation, and genetic therapies that, for the first time in human history, offer a realistic chance to solve the problem of the aging of the human body. In this book, Cordeiro and Wood not only present all the major developments, initiatives, and ideas for eternal life, they also show why there are a number of good arguments for seeing death for what it is: the last undefeated disease. Enter any drugstore or bookstore, and we confronted with a mountain of nonsense concerning the aging process. Society seems obsessed with aging. That is why The Death of Death is such a refreshing delight, able to cut through the hype and reveal a balanced, authoritative, and lucid discussion of this controversial topic. It summarizes the astonishing breakthroughs made recently in revealing how science may one day conquer the aging process. Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist and author of The God Equation: The Quest for a Theory of Everything We are entering a Fantastic Voyage into life extension, crossing different bridges that will take us to indefinite life spans. The Death of Death explains clearly how we might soon reach longevity escape velocity and live long enough to live forever. Ray Kurzweil, co-author of Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever and co-founder of Singularity University The Death of Death is a truly revolutionary book. This is a visionary book that confronts us with the terrible reality of aging, and its authors are friends and connoisseurs of the subject. I believe that the authoritative and exhaustive description of this crusade that José and David make in this excellent book will accelerate this process. Forward!

| broken god david zindell: Radical Evolution Joel Garreau, 2006-05-09 Taking us behind the scenes with today’s foremost researchers and pioneers, bestselling author Joel Garreau shows that we are at a turning point in history. At this moment we are engineering the next stage of human evolution. Through advances in genetic, robotic, information, and nanotechnologies, we are altering our minds, our memories, our metabolisms, our personalities, our progeny–and perhaps our very souls. Radical Evolution reveals that the powers of our comic-book superheroes already exist, or are in development in hospitals, labs, and research facilities around the country–from the revved-up reflexes and speed of Spider-Man and Superman, to the enhanced mental acuity and memory capabilities of an advanced species. Over the next fifteen years, Garreau makes clear in this New York Times Book Club premiere selection, these enhancements will become part of our everyday lives. Where will they lead us? To heaven–where technology’s promise to make us smarter, vanquish illness, and extend our lives is the answer to our prayers? Or, as some argue, to hell–where unrestrained technology brings about the ultimate destruction of our species? |

| broken god david zindell: Stempenyu: A Jewish Romance Sholom Aleichem, 2007-12-14 Even the most pious Jew need not shed so many tears over the destruction of Jerusalem as the women were in the habit of shedding when Stempenyu was playing. The first work of Sholom Aleichem’s to be translated into English—this long out-of-print translation is the only one ever done under Aleichem’s personal supervision—Stempenyu is a prime example of the author’ s hallmark traits: his antic and often sardonic sense of humor, his whip-smart dialogue, his workaday mysticism, and his historic documentation of shtetl life. Held recently by scholars to be the story that inspired Marc Chagall’s “Fiddler on the Roof” painting (which in turn inspired the play that was subsequently based on Aleichem’s Tevye stories, not this novella), Stempenyu is the hysterical story of a young village girl who falls for a wildly popular klezmer fiddler—a character based upon an actual Yiddish musician whose fame set off a kind of pop hysteria in the shtetl. Thus the story, in this contemporaneous “authorized” translation, is a wonderful introduction to Aleichem’s work as he wanted it read, not to mention to the unique palaver of a nineteenth-century Yiddish rock star. |
