Editorial Reviews

Review

"Life on Earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as sudden global warming, nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus or other dangers." -- Dr Stephen Hawking. SETI Institute 29th June 2006 Hong Kong. China

Bible stories are always more than what they seem. Even today they resonate in our collective consciousness because their ancient messages are still so timely. Debut author Howard Peters' bold, brash, and fiercely funny trilogy takes its premise from the story of Noah's Ark. Written in three books, "Castle in the Sky," "Your Body is Where you Live," and "The Third Rising," this is an ingeniously written novel that's part Thomas Pynchon, part Ray Bradbury and altogether original.

Somewhere in space and time, the world is in chaos. There's no green grass and the air is polluted. There's nothing left but memories of better times and fears about nuclear disaster. Hybrids populate this world, along with humans and gorilla people, and greed and cruelty is rampant.

Suddenly, a strange video hologram arrives, full of knowledge about another civilization, and Noah begins to wonder who sent it and why? Was there a similar solar system that might sustain life? Noah begins to plan for a brave new world, transporting people on the spaceship ARK toward a very familiar sounding planet. But will the future be better than the present? Peters' eloquent message is clear: What we do in our world now is a legacy for our children tomorrow. What kind of world do we want to leave them? Do we want to redevelop our wasteful ways and continue to be inhumane or do we want to make permanent change for the betterment of our world and ourselves?

Peters' writing zips and flows on the page, creating a panoramic cast of original characters and extraordinary situations. There are the lovers Svi and Lika, the gorilla people pondering their place in the cosmos, and of course, there is Noah, endlessly musing about God and fate and the future. Fiendishly clever and whiz-bang enjoyable, this is a page-turning trilogy that is both provocative and profound. -- New York Times best selling Author 'Ellen Tanner Marsh'

He has a real ability in original science fiction. I tip my hat to his energy and commitment, and whilst reading it once again to his talent. -- Lord David Puttnam House of Lords, London, UK

Whilst reading 'Download' one begins to wonder if it is fiction or . . . prophecy? -- Editorial: Booksurge Publishing.

I have no previous publishing history, except for producing regular articles under the title of ‘Philosophy of the week’ in my London University college journal called ‘The Beacon’. (1959-1961). It was produced once every two weeks and my articles were always controversial at that time. Some of the titles were: CND Campaign for unilateral Nuclear Disarmament) are like Ostriches burying their heads in the sand.’ - ‘There is no such thing as an individual’ - ‘What would have happened if Hitler had won the war?’ EXTRA PERSONAL INFORMATION: Born: December 1940 - I am a British Optometrist by profession.

Politically motivated towards the right, being a member of the British Conservative Party and an elected Borough Councilor for Barnet in North London UK in 1979. I held the position of Secretary of the Knightsbridge Speakers’ Club” in London.
