12) Phobos and Deimos. Mars’s moons. A lot of odd stuff about this pair, including the appearance of parallel surface lines, unusual orbital characteristics and generally porous interiors. All of which led Soviet and American scientists to suggest that these satellites might be ‘artificial’. In the journal Astronautics, Fred Singer, then science advisor to U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, said: if the satellite is indeed spiraling inward as deduced from astronomical observation, then there is little alternative to the hypothesis that it is hollow and therefore Martian made.” Oh, and one of the Russian probes (Phobos 2) was lost right after a shadowy missile-like figure was seen between it and the Martian surface. Make of that what you will.

  13) Finally, the Brookings Report. In collaboration with NASA, the Brookings Institute released to the House of Representatives on April 18, 1961 the Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs. Page 215 is as I’ve had my characters quote in this book, basically suggesting that the logical course of action should alien artifacts be discovered in our solar system, would be to carefully consider keeping such knowledge from the general public in order to protect our cultural legacy, and indeed even keep our society from deconstructing, as has been the case in many other instances when less advanced societies have come in contact with ones far in advance of their own.

  And I’ve just scratched the surface. There’s so much more, if I can find the drive to get my team back in gear, back to probing the mysteries that will always be out there. I hope this isn’t the end, but a new beginning.

  Thanks for coming along—and hopefully staying—for the ride.

  by Kristina Schram

  $3.99—Buy Now!

  Synopsis:

  THE GIRL ABOVE…

  Strange things happen to fifteen-year-old Lavida Mors. Maybe that’s why her father sends her away to Portal Manor, a mysterious family estate she has never seen. Lavida quickly discovers that not everything at Portal Manor is as it seems when she stumbles across a secret passage to a hidden world–Anaedor.

  THE WORLD BELOW…

  Anaedor lies deep beneath the surface, separated from humanity, populated by mythical creatures. Long ago, ignorant humans, frightened by the powers of these magical and strange beings, forced them to flee to this dark world of huge caverns, frigid rivers and deep pits. It is these same creatures who take Lavida captive, forcing her to realize there might have been very good reasons for humans to be afraid.

  THE PROPHECY BINDS THEM…

  Malevolent forces, led by the evil Malvado, seek to control all of Anaedor, but an ancient prophecy tells of a hero who will save these denizens of the deep. While trying to escape the dark realm with the help of her friends, Lavida must battle overgrown sharp-toothed leeches, survive a poison arrow and outwit a giant, all the while trying to convince the hopeful populace of Anaedor that she is not the savior they believe her to be.
