Allen Atkins, a NASA scientist stung by lies and false accusations during his divorce trial, has developed an almost foolproof lie detector. His tranquil life is suddenly turned upside down when he is asked by a friend to use it to help solve a high-profile murder case. The defense team immediately becomes under surveillance and the target of several murder attempts by seemingly unrelated criminal elements. Even as the case is resolved, and the lie detector system helps identify the true murderer, a top-secret branch of the CIA virtually kidnaps Allen to enlist his aid in several matters of "national security". He quickly enters the realm of "black ops" espionage, defectors, mercenaries, "safe houses" and terrorism...and somehow survives.
Jack Garrett, a world-renowned marine/project engineer, is assigned a seemingly impossible taskconstruct an entire city under the sea in less than three years! To complete this task he must overcome unfriendly forces of nature, a project that is only partially funded with a tight timetable and impatient investors, while implementing unproven, cutting edge technology. Even as he struggles with natural and man-made obstacles, he is not even aware of a team of saboteurs determined to derail the project at any cost.
Before airplanes crossed the oceans, gigantic gas-filled airships cruised serenely between Europe and North and South America. The horrific 1937 crash of the Hindenburg, the pride of Nazi Germany, ended that phase of passenger travel, and more than twenty years passed before heavier-than-air passenger airliners could cross the Atlantic again. In Graphene LTA, Alexandra Shultz's dream of reviving that lost age of air travel comes true when she enters a proposal for a Lighter-Than-Air (LTA) cruise ship into an entrepreneur's contest, and billionaire venture capitalist Max Brita becomes a believer. Together they take the LTA concept and the miraculous new material Graphene into products and vessels the original dirigible designers never would have dreamt.
Consequences are a measure of truth. However, in today's culture, is truth even discoverable? And if it is, would you want to know it? Would you want to know it if--by knowing it--it would bring joy to your life and meaning to your existence?

By studying the progression of philosophical thought and the growth of scientific knowledge in Western society, along with their cultural effects, you are invited to determine whether or not truth is attainable and applicable to people in the twenty-first century.
