  • Hijacked on the Alaskan Seas: A Chuck Taylor and Lisa Fontaine Thriller

    Greg Van Arsdale

    eBook
    A rogue band of North Korean military led by Colonel Jung Li steals a nuclear warhead. They hijack an Alaskan cruise liner and land the modified bomb on board, forcing the captain to head for Los Angeles. Chuck Taylor, at six foot-four and 250 pounds, is a fighting man. He knows this is no ordinary hijacking. He breaks out of confinement. Somehow, he has to battle through 20 armed commandos and get rid of the bomb. His best chance: take them on one at a time, but that does not always happen. Lisa Fontaine joins forces with Chuck after he saves her from an execution that had been a ploy to draw him out into the open. Together, they work their way forward where the bomb sits. But Colonel Li is determined to kill them both before they get close.Meanwhile, the President of the United States orders the Navy to find and sink the ship before it reaches land. And so, while one hunt is going on board for Chuck, another is happening in the ocean as the Navy follows clues to the cruise ship's whereabouts. It is a race against time—and Chuck knows it. If he fails, millions in LA will die.
  • The Dual Energy Concept: Answers to Questions in Quantum Mechanics, Relativity and the Universe

    Greg Van Arsdale

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Dec. 19, 2016)
    The current single energy concept has run its course, the notion that atomic-energy is all there is to reality. Since the proof of dark-energy, we have struggled to discern what it is. This book states it is a non-atomic form of energy. By doing so, all the Quantum Mechanics and Relativistic equations that have defied physical explanation in the past now make simple, logical sense. Yes, Quantum Mechanics can be understood logically. All it takes is another energy form in the mix. No longer must our theories violate laws of physics. With the Dual Energy Concept, we can explain quantum behavior in a way that is easily understood. Relativity takes a familiar form, and the Cosmos, in all its grand glory, comes into sharp focus. The exciting thing about the Dual Energy Concept is that it uses the Classical Quantum Mechanics equations to do the job! Yes, Schrödinger, de Broglie, and a host of others were right. The waves they associated with their wave equations are real. They just could not explain how at the time. With the advent of dark-energy, we can. Now, things we thought we knew take on new shape, a deeper comprehension of what is real. Quantum Mechanics What is a photon? How does a photon move through space? Is a photon a wave or a particle? What is the difference between a particle and a photon? Is mass a property of atomic-energy as well? What about spin? What is a quanta? Why do particles group together? How is a photon created out of nothing? How do the different classes of energy interact? So what is this location node you keep talking about? What are virtual particles? How do particles interact? What is leeching? Do matter waves really exist? Why do particles want to shed mass? Why do particles decay? How are atomic particles created out of the Medium? How does an electron jump from one place to another – without appearing between? How can an electron be everywhere at once? How are the four forces of Nature explained using the Dual Energy Concept? Relativity How does gravity warp space-time? How does the Dual Energy Concept explain gravity? How does the Dual Energy Concept explain length dilation? Why does a photon slow down in a gravity field? What is an energy (photon) shroud? Why does mass increase as speed increases? What is time? Why does time slow down as a particle accelerates? Why does time slow down in a gravitational field? Is there a common reference plane? The Universe Was there really a Big Bang? Why isn’t there a center to the Universe? Why is the Universe expansion accelerating? What really goes on inside a black hole? What is a dark hole? Are super massive black holes actually dark holes? Do dark holes reside at the center of galaxies? What goes on inside a dark hole? Why do planets and galaxies form around dark matter? Are there also dark suns and dark planets? Will the Universe die?

  • The Stranger

    Greg Van Arsdale

    eBook
    The Genesis Project Series is one book broken into four parts.Part One:A man runs for his life from a squad of armed militia. He has no memory, no clue who they are or why they want him dead. Only one man knows the truth and that is Jack Logan, the leader of the mob. To Logan, the stranger poses the only threat to his plans for world domination, so Logan hunts him relentlessly. Ultimately, the wounded stranger winds up on the doorstep of Doctor Lazlow’s house. Doc is a semi-retired psychiatrist/ inventor who uses an experimental device that unlocks part of the stranger’s memory. They learn the world they are in is computer generated. A virtual world, and it has been infected with a Doomsday virus that can destroy the planet. The stranger’s name is John Neumann, the creator of the virtual environment. The only way to save the people is to get them out. To do that, John had to come into the world itself and reprogram the massive Genesis computer from the inside—but at the expense of wiping his mind clean. He has just 40 days to regain the remainder of his memory, 40 days to find the solution before the world explodes. His only option, however, may cost him his life.Part Two:John Neumann’s consciousness pushes through the ethereal light barrier and into the real world. His memory regained, John recalls the beginning of the Genesis Project. From the start, the vice president of his company, Jack Lokitus, and Judith Neumann, John’s wife, are against the project. The two lovers plot to discredit John as inept at the Board meeting so Lokitus can force a take over of John’s empire. However, when John demonstrates a mere fraction of the Genesis Machine’s power, the coup fails. He then fires Lokitus and one-third of the Board members. Lokitus goes insane with rage. That is when the killings start.One by one, Board members die and Lokitus frames John for their deaths. Neumann’s legal team keeps him out of jail. Throughout the virtual world’s development, Lokitus criminally harasses John’s crew. Then John has a brilliant idea for a new programming language for the Genesis Machine and the last piece of the puzzle falls into place. Finally, John initiates the creation sequence and the new world comes to life. Over the years, he inserts millions of people who are crippled or dying, giving them new hope and a new lease on life.A member of John’s inner circle betrays him and joins forces with Lokitus. They insert a Doomsday virus into the Genesis Machine that corrupts not only the ethereal matrix on which the world is built but also the spirits of everyone John inserted. In effect, Lokitus holds over a million people hostage, demanding Neumann relinquish his multi-billion dollar empire or he detonates the planet.Part Three:John Neumann is in desperate trouble. Having made connection with the Genesis Machine from Doc Lazlow’s lab, the house is now surrounded by Logan’s army. For his plan to work, he must evade them the five days it takes for the Genesis Machine to assimilate his ethereal and DNA data. If he dies, then Logan inherits the virtual world and Lokitus gains control of Neumann’s vast business empire. Fortunately, Tom and Nancy maintain constant vigilance in the real world’s Genesis lab. They help John escape, but how long can he truly hope to remain alive when so many are trying to kill him?Part Three brings together elements of Part One and Part Two, answering lingering questions and revealing Neumann’s ultimate goal. It is a must read to discover just how he plans on defeating Logan and Lokitus.Part Four "The Final Day" ends the saga.Ten years have passed since the end of Part Three of the Genesis Project Series (“End Game”) where Jack Lokitus’s spirit was given to Logan’s soul in the virtual world. David is now a young man. With his real soul and special connection to the Genesis Machine, he has unique insights and powers...LOOK BELOW AND BUY THE BUNDLE WHILE THE PRICE IS STILL LOW!

    Greg Van Arsdale

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, April 19, 2016)
    A rogue band of North Korean commandos led by Colonel Jung Li kills the Russian crew manning a mobile ICBM and steal the warhead. Meanwhile, in Seattle, Chuck Taylor is working construction on an office high rise. After a fight with jealous coworkers, he is fired. He's sent to the infirmary to tend to a minor cut before he leaves. That is when he meets the vivacious Lisa Fontaine, the nurse practitioner. As she listens to his story, she feels for him and sparks fly. Chuck and Lisa wind up spending a lot of time together. She invites him to take an Alaskan cruise with her. He accepts. They laugh when they board and learn it is a cruise for retired people, but they decided to make the most of it. Colonel Li and his men also board the ship. Just as it reaches international waters, they hijack it with weapons they smuggled on board. They lock all the passengers in their rooms as Li's helicopter brings aboard the modified bomb. Li orders the captain to head for LA, intending on detonating the 800-megaton warhead there. Unable to sit by and do nothing, Chuck breaks out of his room. His first encounter with a Korean guard is a disaster. However, while in hiding, he meets an old Marine who also sneaked out. The Korean guard finds them and Chuck, being six foot-four and 250 pounds, easily overwhelms him. That is when the old Marine teaches Chuck how to kill. Now the chase is on. Colonel Li orders his men to search the ship. A running gun battle ensues. It is one man against 20 trained commandos. While all this is going on, the president of the United States orders the Navy to find and sink the ship before it reaches land. And so, while one hunt is going on board the ship, another is happening in the ocean as the entire Northern Pacific Fleet follows clues to the cruise ship's whereabouts. It is a race against time. Chuck must find some way of disabling the bomb before the Navy finds them. If he doesn't, then everyone on the ship will die. If he fails, and Colonel Li is successful in eluding the Navy, then millions will die in Los Angeles.

  • Dark-Energy: Answers to Physics and Spiritual Questions

    Greg Van Arsdale

    Paperback (Lighthouse Publishing, Sept. 7, 2011)
    This book supports the proposal that dark-energy is a non-atomic form of energy. There are at least two kinds of energy at work in the Universe. By applying this dual-energy concept to modern science, all of the problems explaining Quantum Mechanics and Relativity can finally be answered in physical, easy to understand, and consistent terms. Even spiritual concepts like the soul take on new meaning, a physical sense of existence. In the late 1800’s science began understanding the inner workings of the atom. These observations, however, led to a bit of confusion about how to make sense of it all. Then came a change in perspective that everything is energy in one form or another and it all made sense – sort of. The birth of the single-energy concept gave way to the often confusing field of Quantum Mechanics. To this day, there are dozens of equations, a measurement of the human level of Reality, that cannot be physically explained. The equations are right. We just need to listen to what they have been trying to tell us for almost a century. The standpoint is the single-energy concept has run its course and cannot adequately explain the lab and cosmological observations we have today. Unless we again change our perspective and look ‘down’ on these and the century-old questions from a higher viewpoint, we can never hope to find their true answers. The dual-energy proposal is the means to those answers. Nothing new will come from old concepts. It is time to accept a new point of view if we are to finally understand our place in this Universe.
