This mini thumbnail is copyrighted by Citadel and West Coast Midnight Run™ publication, of course it is about The Fantastic Four science fiction series, WCMR has also lots of their own created sci-fi posters and content. Hope you like A mini thumbnail poster that has Star Wars written on it but maybe its more Foundation and Empire, copyrighted by Citadel and West Coast Midnight Run™ Art Book Series, this one has a dreamy quality to it that romanticizes deep space travel far more than The Expanse or Star Trek ever could. I find it breathtaking. Another Star Wars or Star Trek laced poster from art book publication West Coast Midnight Run by Citadel. This one I call Galaxy's Edge and has that same feel of taking on the galaxy and interstellar travel but it is definitely less dreamy than the previous poster where the woman is onboard the ship as they fly past two planets with a squadron of spaceships. Nanomorph is transmitted through blood. The most common route of transmission: intense physical contact. Incubation period: 2–6 months. Since it shows no symptoms, an infected person can unknowingly pass it on to others. 99.8% turn Gray: Low energy, constant fatigue... But with extraordinarily strong bones and resilient bodies. 0.2% become Red: They stand out with high IQ, aggressive behavior, strong leadership skills, and intense energy. A part of society keeps its distance from both groups: Grays are seen as sluggish and excluded from the workforce. Reds are considered aggressive and dangerous. Yet a large portion embraces them. While some countries don’t even allow these people into military zones, in another country, a Gray woman is elected to parliament. What would you do if you were in their shoes? Do you think these Changed are dangerous? This is my first eBook and paper back book on English. Has the secret world society brought the world to the brink of collapse?! After the end of the virus that left countless unanswered questions, a new wave is announced, and people are in a collective unconscious dream! The main character, led by boundless love for humanity, wants to save the survivors and will set out in search of the truth! With his knowledge and introspection, he leads us in search of a pure soul and the eternal love within us. The ancient voice that comes to him will lead him to the temple of evil, where all evil projects originate. link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GQXCRVN3
