Andrew Lee, on the verge of inventing a quantum computer, must escape his father’s legacy and free himself from mind-altering forces.

Join author Norbert Weissinger as he narrates his most memorable dives, starting with his first scuba dive while attending college, to the grueling work in the Gulf of Mexico as a commercial oilfield diver. Experience the thrills, terrors, mystifying beauty, and awful monotony of life at sea. Meet the colorful and eccentric personalities that risk their lives daily in the development of offshore oilfields. Commercial divers go under water every day to earn a living. Strangely, they enjoy the abuse of the sea, and if they survive a ten-year career, they can take home a wealth of memories about a world that few have ever seen. Bottom Time is filled with travel anecdotes, dive narratives, and vivid descriptions of the undersea world. While working on the sea floor was sometimes lonely and frightening, the author experienced sublime moments when he felt privileged to be a visitor to an alien realm. The triggerfish, tarpon, groupers, sea turtles, and barracuda became his friends, and he wished that bottom time would never end. After spending countless hours under water, the author found not only beauty and exotic marine life, but inspiration. Life spent on the bottom is truly living in the moment, where past and future dissolve, and nothing matters but a breath.
Bardolomy tells the story of a man who travels to the stars in search of happiness and a new home. Earth is flooded, and Europa, his workplace, is a frozen world. After a perilous journey, he finds a world inhabited by intelligent beings that have created a model society. Welcomed by a friendly race of evolved humans engineered by an A.I., he discovers the terrible secret to their survival. The planet has such a hellish climate of storms, torrential rains, solar flares, and searing heat from two suns that the people must hibernate underground during the Burn season. He must either repair his ship and resume a possibly futile quest for a more hospitable planet, or modify his genetic structure and transform into a different species. In addition, by bringing advanced technology and weapons, he awakens an ancient interspecies rivalry that threatens to undermine the harmony of the civilization. Combining philosophical speculation with a gritty survival tale, Bardolomy takes the reader on an escapist ride into the future, and a man's search for identity in an age of manufactured humans.
