Sixteen-year-old Soliloquy’s life is anything but normal. Deserted by a mother who speaks in tongues. Informally adopted by her boyfriend’s family that owns a tequila distillery and agave farm. Visited by strange dreams filled with coded message and premonition. She is not your typical teenager. But when three alien spacecraft attack the farm, her life takes a twist down the proverbial rabbit hole.Driven into ice caves beneath the farm, she learns strange secrets about her mother, the family she is with, and the invading aliens. Nothing is what it seemed. Yet to survive, she and the family must transform in a way that will change them forever. Their response over the next twenty-four hours will have repercussions far beyond their little farm. For them, it is world war with their farm as the beachhead.

These poems embody a journey of transformation of the Christian soul, fueled by Michael's own metanoia and hunger for growth in faith. His spiritual conversion is witnessed within the four-year period of this work, culminating in a mature and renewed desire to uplift others through the imagery of words. Through the names and order of his poems, Michael uses the Divine inspirations of the Holy Spirit to reflect an evolution of faith. Leveraging the clever lens of rhyming poetry, he represents various phases of growth and has organized this work into that specific order. This begins where his soul experiences inner healing and was tilled into fertile soil by the Lord, seeded and planted with new growth, and bore forth fruit. Through a period of waiting on the Lord, Michael began to gather his poems into a cohesive work, sharing with us the fruits of harvest of his growing zeal for love of Christ. Michael-isms include such colorful phrases as: "Make me the dirt around your tree of Good Hope. I'll hold in the water that sustains other's growth" "In the universality where time holds no part, God knows His children who love from the heart" "We seek to beat a different drum from whose control no headlines come" "Begotten one, Perfection's Son, sent to defend; There's power in the name of Jesus! All knees must bend" "We believe what's not and hide what's wrought from shadow's cart" "No soap on a rope for this specious disease; From a rich man's prison, God save me please!" "In Satan's last battle the family falls without the protections of tradition's walls"

The Pandora Project In 1953 the Russians began to bombard the United States Embassy in Moscow with electromagnetic high spectrum radiation, but the fact was kept secret from embassy employees. Several employees eventually died as a result of the microwave attacks. The United States sent a secret memo giving hazard pay to embassy employees in the mid 1970s. The USSR had secret meetings with the United States to try to head off an arms race on electromagnetic weapons. The United States politely refused. In retaliation the USSR began to bombard the Embassy in earnest. The United States Advanced Projects Agency set up labs at universities and hospitals around the United States to participate in Project Pandora. Scientists began sampling monkeys to study the biological effects of highly concentrated microwave frequencies. In one study, a well-known scientist experimented on human subjects using tiny electrodes that were forced through the skull into the brain. Using radio frequencies forced through the special brain transponder, the subject became extremely susceptible to post-hypnotic suggestion. Unfortunately, after the procedure, the subject could no longer be hypnotized without the use of the electrodes. The scientist stated that these weapons were more dangerous than atomic destruction. With the knowledge of the brain, he was able to directly, robotize man. It was in fact experimentally used on a number of highly intelligent student volunteers from MIT and UCLA. The end result was an intelligence agent that could withstand brutal conditions, emotional trauma, and distress, including death with an air of indifference. Unfortunately, some of them were difficult to control. This is their story. On the outside, Steve Packard seemed like a normal man, living a normal life. With a tested IQ of 168, he breezed through a PhD in Computer Science at MIT, as if it were an after thought. His resume was a who’s who of prestigious companies and large accomplishments. His dominant negative trait was that at one time, he was a heavy smoker. He had tried everything to quit, even going to several hypnotists that became extremely frustrated by his inability to reach a hypnotic state. But Steve had a secret, a secret that he himself did not fully understand. He frequently awoke in night sweats, with strange dreams of unusual places he was certain he had never been. The dreams were filled with images of the dead and the terrible sounds and screams of the dying. The smell of burning flesh scorched his nostrils. In his dreams he carried a Colt 1911, an AK-47, sometimes a Remington 700 with a Redfield scope and a .35mm camera with a long telescopic lens. The team he worked with was similar to him. They were all young, extremely intelligent, and damn good with almost any firearm. They worked under extremely difficult and hazardous conditions and were often under fire from the enemy. He rarely remembered anything the next morning and the memories he did have seemed to wisp away like smoke in the wind within a couple of hours. One morning, on his way to work, Steve removes his seat belt in an attempt to retrieve a document that had fallen into the floor of his car. As he retrieves the document, he looks up to see a tractor-trailer jack-knifed in the middle of the road. His car hits the trailer and plummets him through the windshield onto the open road. Steve loses his consciousness. In the hospital, Steve is in a deep coma for over two months. And in this coma, the great iron door of his psyche plummets open to reveal the secrets of The Pandora Project, the memories of which are more than any man should have to survive. Not since The Bourne Identity has there been saga filled with a world of intelligence and international intrigue.
