Books with author Keith A. Williams

A.E. Williams presents his thoughts on a variety of subjects of interest to thinking persons. Bringing together a lifetime of experience as a science fiction author, former aerospace materials engineer, cyber-security expert and irascible genius, Williams provides big picture views on our place in the Universe. Based on a series of blog articles written for the "Speculative Fiction Showcase" and including material reviewed while performing research for his series "Terminal Reset", Williams explores and questions some of the most basic precepts of science and physics. The recent popularization of physics in television and movies has opened up this field to the ordinary lay person. In these articles, Mr. Williams looks at why we, as a species, crave to leave the Mother planet, and venture out into the hostile territories of uncharted space. Williams explains, with his own unique and perceptive worldview, just how the Space Race, once the core being of America's science programs, has defined the processes and bureaucracy of space exploration today. Williams provides a narrative of his own experiences, working on high-tech and cutting edge programs that led to the technological marvels we take for granted today. From jet engines to smart phones, from "Star Trek" to "Interstellar", Williams helps readers to understand just how much the world has been impacted science and technology. Is a Mission to Mars or other form of manned space flight our future? Can we afford to spend our resources on these efforts, at the expense of other critical problems facing us today? Follow Williams down the Rabbit Hole, as he looks at Fake News, the Presidential Election, AGW and other contentious events in our world, and body-slams them using logic and the Scientific Method! A.E. Williams makes a compelling argument that manned space exploration is not just viable, but necessary to the survival of the species.

Parties are not Madeline's thing. Being social isn’t her thing. She’s a five-foot eight-inch industrial -strength loser. She’s invisible. She’s no one. She could drop dead in class and no one would notice. So why does she accept an invitation — from someone she barely knows — to the party of the year? Certainly not because Mark Alister is going. Popular, attractive, universally desired Mark Alister. A boy like that would never even look at a trainwreck like her! But . . . he does! He talks to her! They fall in love! And they live happily ever after. The end. Yeah — not a chance. Maybe if she lived in a Disney movie. In reality, Madeline has walked straight into a trap — one which no amount of wishing on stars can save her from. Mark is going to make her face everything she’s been hiding from for the past seven years. And the truth about Madeline Parker could either fix her, and make her worthy of being loved . . . or it could kill her. Or both.
