Three friends set out to create a computer system having the ability to predict future events. Terry has a PhD in genetics and is completing her Masters in nanotechnology. Fergus is completing his PhD in Computer Engineering. Tim is a business major who provides funding for the effort. The system they create utilizes a form of DNA computing and is named Sheela. Sheela is a success but has also become sentient. From this point forward their lives are irreparably changed. The world they thought they knew is not what it seems. Terry and Fergus realize the challenge of bringing things into existence is not as important as considering the consequences before they do. Ultimately, Terry and Fergus learn the importance of how they live their lives. The consequences of a decision and its effect is beyond anything they imagined.

Air War in the Pacific, originally published in 1949 as General Kenney Reports: A Personal History of the Pacific War, is a classic account of a combat commander in action. General George Churchill Kenney arrived in the Southwest Pacific theater in August 1942 to find that his command, if not in a shambles, was in dire straits. The theater commander, General Douglas MacArthur, had no confidence in his air element. Kenney quickly changed this situation. He organized and energized the Fifth Air Force, bringing in operational commanders like Whitehead and Wurtsmith who knew how to run combat air forces. He fixed the logistical swamp, making supply and maintenance supportive of air operations, and encouraging mavericks such as Pappy Gunn to make new and innovative weapons and to explore new tactics in airpower application.The result was a disaster for the Japanese. Kenney's airmen used air power- particularly heavily armed B-25 Mitchell bombers-to savage Japanese supply lines, destroying numerous ships and effectively isolating Japanese garrisons. The classic example of Kenney in action was the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, which marked the attainment of complete Allied air dominance and supremacy over Japanese naval forces operating around New Guinea. In short, Kenney was a brilliant, innovative airman, who drew on his own extensive flying experiences to inform his decision-making. Air War in the Pacific is a book that has withstood the test of time, and which remains as the definitive work on the Pacific air campaign in World War II. This new edition includes 13 pages of maps and photographs.
