Audio excerpt from foreword of VACCINE SCIENCE REVISITED — Worth a listen!
“ To fully understand the impact vaccines have on our bodies requires a much broader investigation than even most of my scientific colleagues would assume necessary.”
Here’s a brief audio excerpt from the foreword of our new release book VACCINE SCIENCE REVISITED: Are Childhood Immunizations As Safe As Claimed?
The foreword was written by Utah-based Medical Laboratory Scientist Elísabet Norris (B.S.) who describes the book as “Possibly the most well-referenced work yet to explore this contentious healthcare subject.”

Fiji: A Novel ★★★★★ “Once I got into it, I was hooked.” -The Kindle Book Review
![Fiji: A Novel (The World Duology Book 2) by [Morcan, Lance, James Morcan]](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1528620386i/25706755.jpg)
Fiji: A Novel is a spellbinding tale of adventure, cultural misunderstandings, religious conflict and sexual tension. Co-authored by the authors of the bestselling historical adventures White Spirit and Into the Americas, it is set in one of the most exotic and isolated places on earth.
By the mid-1800’s, Fiji has become a melting pot of cannibals, warring native tribes, sailors, traders, prostitutes, escaped convicts and all manner of foreign undesirables. It’s in this hostile environment an innocent young Englishwoman and a worldly American adventurer find themselves.
Susannah Drake, a missionary, questions her calling to spread God’s Word as she’s torn between her spiritual and sexual selves. As her forbidden desires intensify, she turns to the scriptures and prayer to quash the sinful thoughts – without success.
Nathan Johnson arrives to trade muskets to the Fijians and immediately finds himself at odds with Susannah. She despises him for…

‘By far one of the best thrillers I have read in quite some time!’ says Goodreads reviewer
Book critic Jon Nakapalau doesn’t hold back in praising our detective-thriller novel Silent Fear in his Goodreads review.
He says: “This one really grabbed me! It is by far one of the best thrillers I have read in quite some time! The feeling of isolation is gelatinous as events unfold and questions start to follow every answer – I found myself wondering what I would do if I were in a similar situation (which is one of the ways I know I am getting ‘drawn in’). Unlike so many ‘formulaic’ attempts to scare this is a ‘nightmare stew’ that will fill you full of dread!”

Convict escapee confused with a white spirit in true-life historical adventure
In White Spirit (A novel based on a true story) escaped convict John Graham learns the Aboriginal First Nations people of Australia believe their loved-ones sometimes return from the Dreaming as a white spirit.
Excerpt from novel follows:
The villagers were shouting encouragement to the pair tasked with ridding the white spirit from their midst. If the Irishman had been in any doubt about what his captors had planned for him, he was in no doubt now. As he was lifted over the fire, he began screaming. “Please! Put me down!”
At the sound of John speaking in a foreign tongue, the Kabi fell silent. The pair holding him dropped him to the ground, startled.
Only now did Mamba have a clear view. Like the others of her clan, she’d been mesmerised by her first sighting of a white man. However, for no apparent reason, when she looked at…

Historical fiction novel likened to a motion picture in words
One book reviewer described our historical adventure INTO THE AMERICAS (A novel based on a true story) as being “like a motion picture in words.” Understandable given it’s set in the Pacific Northwest, which must surely be one of the most picturesque places on earth.
Nootka Sound, Vancouver Island…where this true-life story is set.
Into the Americas is a tale of two vastly different cultures – indigenous North American and European civilization – colliding head on. It is also a Romeo and Juliet story set in the wilderness.
The storyline:
It’s 1802. Nineteen year-old English blacksmith John Jewitt is one of only two survivors after his crewmates clash with the fierce Mowachaht tribe in the Pacific Northwest.
John Jewitt…years later.
A life of slavery awaits John and his fellow survivor, a belligerent American sailmaker, in a village ruled by the iron fist of Maquina, the all-powerful chief…

Undergrounders ask who really is the Old Testament god known as Yahweh. Is it Jehovah…or Satan perhaps?
A lively debate is unfolding as members of our Underground Knowledge global discussion group on Goodreads postulate on the identity of Yahweh, the god of the Israelites, whose name was revealed to Moses as “YHWH” in the Hebrew language.
[image error]
Undergrounders are divided in who exactly Yahweh is. Some suggest he, she or it is Aten, the disk of the sun in ancient Egyptian mythology; some insist it’s Satan, the Angel of Death himself; others say he’s the Christian God.
A sample of some of the more interesting comments follows:
-Yahweh is not the Christian god, and I propose to prove this. Here we go…
-My view is that Yahweh is the Aten, the very first example that I know of of monotheism, and when the Jews left Israel with the return of Amun and the other Gods of Egypt, they took the Aten with them and changed its name.
-A fictitious character. Prove me wrong.
-As for the father of Jesus, I can’t help but point the finger at Joseph.
-I agree that Yahweh is not the God of Christianity as it has been posited by many Christina theologians and priests.
-I also find it curious that within a supposed universe of there supposedly being only one God, it references in the very first book (Genesis) “older Gods”.
-Why does God speak of himself as “we”? Is he the Elohim or the one true God?
-Yahweh has been taken on or co-opted by Christianity as Jesus Heavenly Father and from my study of Gnosticism and proto-Christianity, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Jehova was also seen as a warlike God who also has co-opted other religious figures into his mythology like El, Ishtar, Baal, etc.
-Through my research, I found that Yahweh is not Jehova.
-Yahweh is the fallen angel, HE IS SATAN… who was expelled from heaven.
– The Hebrew perspective is that YHWH or Tetragrammaton was the name given to Ain Sof (the Infinite being/intelligence). The concept goes back at least to Akkadia/Sumeria/Babylon in the form of the titles “EL” (meaning God). Hebrew names for G-d like Elohim (God of many/Lord of Hosts), or ElShaddai (Almighty God) lend credence to this.
-The being called YHWH is not Jesus and is not related to Jesus directly in the Hebrew. The proper name given in Torah is Adonai (Lord). The Jewish encyclopedia has a lot of information on this subject. http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/art…
