Dragon Child

 


Dragon Child


You will wonder where to put this book. Does it go on the science fiction shelf or on the fantasy shelf? This is a genre bender. Did you ever hear of a scientific reason for magic?
Ship-superior Coran Devic commands the Sarian starship Galaga. Sarians are a serpentine race with green scales from head to tail. Their upper body is humanoid, but they are hairless.
Galaga would be the first Sarian ship to transit a space/time vortex. Sabotage causes Galaga to tumble and spin through a convulsing vortex.
Galaga will be spat out in a star system. The broken ship approaches a planet with the crew on limited rations and mutiny in the air. There is no way home. They will have to build a settlement on the planet.
In the lands of Ambersine a young boy is becoming temar. He has a vision of unlikely allies averting a terrible war. Two of these allies are his siblings, one is an elf, two are outcasts, and the others are dragon children.
For this vision to come true a red dragon will be treated in the cargo bay of a starship; a wizard will protect a shuttle craft from a dragon attack; and starship sensors will warn of dragon war flights approaching. This is not a story that starts in one genre and ends in another. This is a complete integration of science fiction and fantasy. The genres will be bent.

'2024' - Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs): The New Frontier in the Battle for Privacy and Freedom

 



The New Frontier in the Battle for Privacy and Freedom


Winston Smith, the protagonist of George Orwell's dystopian novel “1984”, had a son. No one knew about it. He lives in an ideal world until he encounters the brutal surveillance tools of the hidden powers: cyber weapons like “Pegasus” and the most brutal tool of control in 2024: CBDCs - Central Bank Digital Currencies.
This is his story. This is 2024 – 1984 updated!
In Orwells “1984”, only party members are subject to total surveillance – and yet in the real world, communism, Stasi-style or not, ultimately failed. In present-day 2024, however, EVERYONE is under surveillance.
Winston Smith from “1984” is steadily aware of the omnipresent surveillance yet grows increasingly careless over time – while his son Win, in 2024, is completely unaware of the seamless levels of control.
In “1984”, George Orwell depicted a bleak future world. I, on the other hand, draw a picture of reality which within a few short years – not decades, but merely years – will enslave people and lock them up with no easy escape without bloodshed.
While Winston Smith was a rather tragic figure from the beginning, Win is a successful graduate of an elite university who may still fulfill his potential. This is something Orwell could not have foreseen. If the Nazis had remained in power, and if Stalin had succeeded, we would also have woken up in a 1984 scenario. Fortunately, democracy triumphed.
Regrettably, we seem to increasingly forget the value of democracy as we grow up in a world of casino capitalism where a few individuals control the system thanks to arbitrarily generated currency.
The power of these predatory capitalists, in thrall to the dogma of shareholder value, is beginning to crumble as the monetary system, much like a pyramid scheme, collapses. Surveillance and control are seen as the only solutions to this dilemma – and thus “1984” becomes a reality for all!

She sighed, then smiled, a hint of embarrassment rising as she answered. “I’m sorry. It’s silly. It’s just that... I was hoping you could help me get to the bottom of a mystery that’s plagued me my whole life.” My eyebrows rose as I listened intently.
“Before I die....” I started to protest, but she held up a bony hand to stop me. “Before I die, I need to know who my father was.”
As the story unfolds and Amelia draws closer to unraveling the mystery, tension escalates, and the boundaries between past and present become increasingly blurred.
But some mysteries are meant to stay buried in the shadows—will this revelation shatter the very foundations of her family's history?

Plug your ears. Don't look.

The war for humanity has begun.
Cameron "Jet" Shipley was there when they arrived in 2026. He, and everyone else, lived through the next decade and a half, learning to hide. Learning to never make a sound. Learning the most important rule of all:
You just...don't...look.
