In 1911, John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, the two wealthiest men in the world, embark on a quest to alter the destiny of humanity. Their journey begins with the discovery of ancient Egyptian scrolls, nearly 4,000 years old, written by scribes for Pharaoh Sekhemib-Perenma. Two millennia later, as the Romans conquer Egypt, the scrolls are presented to Emperor Antoninus Pius. Translated into Latin, the Emperor becomes consumed by the secrets contained within the cryptic phrase: 'Et reversus est ad mortem deos' - 'To Die and come back as gods.'Rockefeller and Carnegie finance the creation of a clandestine laboratory on Point Nemo, the most remote island in the Pacific Ocean. Over the years, the facility's staff of elite researchers, scientists, and medical professionals toil tirelessly to unravel the mysteries of the ancient text.As decades pass, the various boards of directors overseeing the Point Nemo facility manipulate the process and exploit terminally ill patients and those with incurable disabilities as test subjects in their relentless pursuit of immortality.In the present day, best-selling author Peter Cordell finds himself grappling with writer's block when he receives an enigmatic call from Mrs. Evelyn Rule. She invites him to Point Nemo and offers him a unique assignment: to write a historical novel commemorating the facility's 100th anniversary.Despite a century of progress in extending human life by 50 to 100 years or more, the ultimate breakthrough remains elusive. The key to unlocking the secrets of immortality lies in the development of a miraculous formula known only as The Serum.

Navigating the real world isn't easy. College doesn't prepare us for it and we're told to learn and figure it out on our own. From managing your finances, advancing in your career, staying in shape and keeping a work life - balance it's not easy to be successful. I felt this stress when I graduated from college in 2010. I earned a bachelor's degree in business but quickly found out college courses don't translate to the real world. Don't get me wrong. I wasn't a C student-actually, I had a 3.5 GPA-but I felt like it didn't prepare me for the next chapter of life. When I got my first job, I had no clue what a 401(k) was or how to choose an insurance plan. It made me mad-how did I not learn something so basic in college? Luckily, it also motivated me to educate myself and figure it out. How did five years of college not teach me something as basic as planning my future retirement? Instead, I was required to take general education classes such as mythology, astronomy, and anthropology to complete my business degree. But not one class on personal finance, understanding credit, or how to plan for retirement? How is that possible? Unsurprisingly, I haven't used those mythology or anthropology lessons in my career or life. Sadly, there is not a "Life 101" course that teaches us how to live and succeed after college.

The Holy Bible has always been a source of knowledge and wisdom. It has been scrutinized more than any other book in the history of humanity. Scientists all over the world have been absolutely baffled by its amazing accuracy. Instead of using their knowledge and tools to disprove its content, they use it as a source of wisdom and enlightenment. It is for this reason that I began my own life experiences to unpack some fundamental principles and theories about the Bible and its use in guiding us to a deeper and more profound understanding of the will of God through the Lord, Jesus Christ. In this undertaking, you'll find what pastors don't want you to know about the Rapture, as well as other biblical themes and ideas.

Hello friend and potential book purchaser. Mike Leonard here. I've been reading (skimming) all sorts of online articles on: "How to write a bestseller!!" "How to make your book better than Huckleberry Finn!!""No one wants to read short stories or essays. Write a book with vampires or wizards or BDSM!"I honestly don't know who this book is for. Dyslexic bears maybe? Angry yet oddly relaxed pseudo-intellectual-conspiracy-theorist-anarchist-Southern-Baptists?I guess since it's just you and me here, I can ask you: Do you want to know what my Fictional dead Grandfather told me about the meaning of life?Would it interest you to know that 1,000 citizens of The United States of America own 1,000 more tanks than the government of Mexico?Do you hate Mother Nature and find the majesty of existence inherently disgusting?Are you happy with your company-provided health insurance and wish poor people would just get a job or die maybe?Are you interested in the reproductive habits of Spotted Hyenas?Hey! Would you like to hear a man's poorly thought about position on the reproductive rights of women If you said yes to any of the above questions, then this book is probably still not for you but what the heck, take a chance and buy my kids some new shoelaces.If you make it to the end, you can meet Bryan and he has cancer, so there's that to look forward to.
