Product Information

So after the chaos he caused with another post in Greek – he had previously posted the word “dialectic” in October – Elon Musk decided 8 hours later to explain what the letter “Ω” means. On the brink of a disaster that could end all human life on earth, tech genius Robert Eisenbraun joins a team of scientists in Antarctica on a mission to Jupiter's moon Europa to mine a rare ore that would provide for Earth's long-term energy needs. But as he and the rest of the team train under the ice shelf in preparation for the long journey, trouble erupts, and before they embark Eisenbraun is the odd man out, put into cold sleep against his will. The dogs had found the woman's lair, its small entrance concealed by brush. I figured now they would stake out the area, waiting for her to return. Another main character, Dharma, presents the spiritual counter argument to Ike's scientific outlook on things, but she does so as if she's reading directly from some new age book, and she does it over and over and over again. Oh yes, and she's enthralled with Ike and wants to have sex with him. And does. Full of twists, turns and surprises, Ernest Dempsey's The Omega Project mixes accurately-researched historical mystery and non-stop thrilling action.

Yesterday, I suffered through jury duty, actually repeatedly falling a sleep reading this, watched another juror next to me devouring 'It' and woke up today mad at myself for trying to finish it, verse just bring up something else on my phone's kindle app. I smelled her as she moved through the shadows to join me behind the bushes. I felt the gun press firmly against the left side of my ribcage. "I need a place that's safe."In The Omega Project, USA Today best-selling author Ernest Dempsey is at his most impressive. This stark, evocative puzzle, this dark thriller, is capstone storytelling. With nerve-shredding action and the precision of a master craftsman, Dempsey reminds us that, sometimes, the greatest dangers are those we think we’ve put behind us.

I didn't know much about guns. The one I'd been gripping in my sweaty palm held four bullets in its clip and one in the chamber—same as it had when I'd removed it from the corpse I'd come across two weeks ago. It was rare these days to find a dead body that hasn't been skinned and stripped of its meat. Thankfully, I'd never been forced to consume human flesh, which was why I was here … out in the woods, hoping to shoot a deer before the last deer was taken, before the last of my supplies ran out and hunger drove me either to cannibalism, suicide, or starvation. A riveting thriller of catastrophe and one man's heroic effort to save the Earth, from the best selling author of the Meg series Toda la primera parte del libro esta bastante bien, lo suficiente como para atrapar mi atención, sin embargo, la segunda parte se convierte en una historia onírica y sinsentido, de algún modo pierde tal fuelle que no puedo evitar pensar en la perdida de tiempo y esfuerzo para leer algo como esto, una pena, ya que por la manera en que comienza uno espera terminar con algo completamente diferente, si bien el comienzo es mejor que el final, también he encontrado muchas fallas en esa parte de la historia, si, es verdad que es ciencia ficción, pero he sentido que por tratarse de este género el autor se ha tomado la libertad de crear una historia que casi llega a la fantasía o como dije, en una historia digna de un mal sueño, no se me ocurre otra manera de definirla, únicamente en un sueño pueden pasar escenas tan raras y fuera de toda realidad. In 1975 he graduated from Norwich University, the Military College of Vermont with a degree in education. After trying out a few different jobs he ended up in south Texas as a police officer. During his twenty year career in law enforcement he served in a variety of roles including suburban and rural patrol, investigations, both urban and rural surveillance and high risk warrant service. Along the way he learned to write good accurate detailed reports to keep himself out of court on his days off. Angus finished his law enforcement career as an instructor of police hard skills including defensive tactics, driving, firearms, mechanics of arrest and VIP protection.The idea that John and his MWD-k9 and Becca are accepted into the Chiricahua nation as warriors is pretty funny. In case you missed the last 150 or so years, natives don’t really like us. How do I know? I have worked on Indian reservations for 25 years an am a First Nations decendant. Sure I have a lot of friends, but generally, Tribal Council’s are careful to exclude non-tribal employees/members from ANY tribal events and you will not lead from the front on any policy issue. Also the idea that there is a traditional tribal gathering being acted out in ancient Indian escape tunnels where elders have visions which the military takes seriously, is ridiculous. The whole special warrior knife thing where “warriors have to kill anyone that touches their knife”, is bullshjt. I am not reviewing the book for the tour company. I did finally finish the book and it was just OK (as the two stars confirm). The writing is good. I have read other books by him and this rating is in comparison to these. While the premise was intriguing, the novel was just so boring. The landscape was described beautifully and there was some pretty good world building also. But that's about it. The pace of the story was so all over the place that it nearly gave me a whiplash. The first half, the story just flew through. Second half just slowed down and then suddenly sped up. Also, certain events did not seem very plausible to me. For instance, the novel started with the Great Die Off that happened due to our over-dependence on oil and when the supplies ran out, the world was plunged into chaos. But we managed to overcome that and we read about how our technology just advanced exponentially. My problem was that all of this happened within a few years if the Great Die Off. How was that even possible? The speed with which things happened wasn't very plausible to me.

I get it that the author uses his imagination but some scenes in his Sean Wyatt books, you can't ignore the stupidity of just what he described and in real life it just doesn't work that way.So, according to Elon Musk, “Ω” is his message for “resist the current [thing]”, as the last letter of the Greek alphabet is the symbol for the unit of measurement of electrical resistance in the International System of Units (the Ohm) which he took this name from the German physicist Georg Ohm. Even better while you have the FBI, along other law enforcement looking for Sean, he could have had the new president secretly put a team together looking for him to protect him, aid him to finding what he was looking for and help rescue the former president. Right on the mark and well worth the time, THE OMEGA PROJECT is easily a 5 spider read and Alten has another winner. Shields, Maureen R. Book review: Ring, Kenneth. The Omega Project: Human Evolution in an Ecological Age. Library Journal, April 1, 1992. The created entity of artificial intelligence, GOLEM, takes on its own life with unthinkable consequences. On the other hand, there is ABE, a chip created to enhance the functioning of the human brain, making a positive difference.

Confronting a foe that knows him almost as well as he knows himself, he faces the prospect of depending on resources that he has reason to believe will be available on one particular night of a full moon, a night foretold by a mysterious unseen ally to be a pivotal moment for the fate of the earth. The game has changed, and Earth's future depends on him and him alone. I called them the "SS"—sociopathic survivors. Rapists, murderers, cannibals—the SS were soulless beings hell-bent on enjoying their final fleeting moments on Earth. I'd never seen them in action, but I'd seen the forensic evidence of their depravity and it terrified me. Anytime a story starts out with a super computer running the show or a trip to outer space, I get nervous, so imagine my total paranoia when I began reading Steve Alten’s newest sci-fi thriller, THE OMEGA PROJECT. It has BOTH, a super computer and a planned trip to a far, distant world. But, then the story starts moving along and the ‘scary’ really begins. What Steve Alten has written here is really two different books, one a gritty, post-apocalyptic tale of the breakdown of society, with characters struggling to survive and finally re-building a new society; the other a crazy, fantastical ride into a distant future full of weird creatures and scientific spiritualism. The two don't fit very well together. Twemlow, Stuart W. Book Review: Mindsight: Near-Death and Out-of-Body Experiences in the Blind, by Kenneth Ring and Sharon Cooper. Journal of Near-Death Studies, 21(1), Fall 2002Kilogram to pounds conversion chart (for that moment when you ended up in a foreign desert surrounded by kilograms). Robert "Ike" Eisenbraun is the inventor of GOLEM which is an advanced AI machine that would supervise the Omega Project which is a mission to the moon to mine for elements needed to solve the energy crisis that perpetrated the Great Die Off. GOLEM decides the mission is not conducive and moves the mission to Europa. Ike is commissioned to join Oceanus, an underwater habitat to monitor GOLEM which seems to make decisions on its own under the guise of evaluating the crew's psychological fitness for the mission to Europa. When the crew members began getting paranoid, they forcibly freeze him in his cryogenic pod. Due to a series of events, Ike only wakes up 12 million years into future (I know, right??!!). With the help of his invention Abe, a biochip implanted in his brain, he navigates the new world that has now evolved in ways he couldn't imagine. That 'second' novel features the continuing adventures of the main character from the first half as he is flung 12 million years into the future (these are not spoilers, it says it right on the cover). Alten does display a considerable amount of imagination in his future world and I enjoyed that part of it, but I had a problem with two of the main characters.
