| Publisher Description: This exciting book starts with a bang, as a California family lives through a powerful earthquake. The whole Earth is being plagued with a series of shattering earthquakes, tsunamis, and loss of life. Everyone believes it is the end of the world. A geologist, Mark, investigates the strange tectonic phenomena and discovers a mind-blowing secret under the holy Mt. Kailas in Tibet. Mark meets Kusoom, a lovely and serene leader of a cult. She tells him they are helping with the birth of a Great Being. Instead of apocalypse, the cracking up of the Earth is the opening of a Cosmic egg. Mark is skeptical until he finds that astronomy graduate students have discovered what they believe is a massive blue comet that is communicating with the emerging creature. As the Cosmic Swan is revealed, powerful forces try to destroy what they see as a monster. Mark and his Tibetan friends struggle to save the emerging creature with the help of the one, mistaken for a comet, who left the egg there millennia before. |
Contributor Bio(s): Copeland, Bill: - Since early childhood, Bill was fascinated with the stars. Through the clear skies of Southern California, he watched the planets and constellations march through the seasons. He studied at San Diego and San Jose California State colleges, earning a Bachelor's degree in Math and Master's degree in Cybernetic Systems. He worked for 40 years in Silicon Valley as a software engineer, developing control system software, proposals, and end-user documentation at hi-tech industry leaders such as UNIVAC, Ampex, Daisy Systems, HP, and SAP. During his work on the Apollo project at NASA, he saw early pictures of the Earth rising over the Moon. The Earth looked like a blue marbled egg. What kind of bird would hatch out of such an egg? Aha, Bill says, the Earth is the place we are born, our egg, and not our home forever. If we learn and obey the laws of science, study space, and treat each other and our planet very carefully, humanity will survive without end. |
