Amongst my fondest memories are those of my grandmother, Pearl Furtah. She was, without a doubt, the best grandmother in the world, and for that reason, I dedicate this book to her. I doubt she would have approved of some of the content, but I’m certain she would have understood the message. 4 Humans are the only creatures on the face of the earth that allow emotions to override its sense of self- preservation. Deforestation is depleting our planets ability to protect itself, yet the process continues unabated. Smoking is a prescription for lung cancer yet millions continue to smoke. The governments of the world could stop the production of tobacco products but enormous tax revenues provide them with the justification they need to sit idly by. Obesity is no longer a problem, it is an epidemic, yet fast food chains continue to thrive. We, as a race, are accelerating toward the finish line of a race that began thousands of years ago. The results of that race are final and forever. 5 Book One Chapter I The Arrival Chapter II Trials and Tribulations Chapter III The Proving Grounds Chapter IV The Trial of the First Tower Chapter V Homecoming Chapter VI First Wish Chapter VII The Trial of the Second Tower Chapter VIII The Return Chapter IX The Trial of the Third Tower Chapter X Pestilence Chapter XI Black Mist Forest (4th Tower) Chapter XII A Cursed Blessing Chapter XIII The Spires of Blood (5th Tower) Chapter XIV The Path to Salvation Chapter XV Gideon’s Cavern (6th Tower) Chapter XVI The Winds of Change Chapter XVII Battlegrounds of Anadais (7th Tower) Chapter XVIII In God We Trust Chapter XIX The Land of the Ancients (8th Tower) Chapter XX Redemption Chapter XXI Coliseum (9th Tower) Chapter XXII The Final Trial (10th Tower) Chapter XXIII As Above, So Below 6 Chapter One The Arrival Earth, once a sphere of positive energy, had deteriorated into a cesspool of negativity, disrupting the sensitive harmony of the universe. This could not be allowed to continue. The Proving Grounds would correct the problem. The humans of the planet earth, considered to be among the bottom dwellers of the universe, would be forced to fight for their right to exist. Doomsday supporters will claim the Mayans have accurately predicted the end of the world in 2012. Others support the Nostradamus predictions of a third world war sometime early in the new millennium. The Book of Revelations tells yet another story. Psychics across the globe have forewarned us impending doom for years, yet no one foresaw what was to come. Hell did not rain down on earth. Crazed dictators did not invoke a nuclear war. Global warming did not flood the earth. No, Armageddon came in the form of a white-robed figure with a long flowing beard and piercing blue eyes. He held a gnarled black staff in his right hand as he walked down East 42 Street on that fateful day. A crystal the size and colour of an overripe tomato was fixed to the top of the staff, emitting a halo of hazy crimson. The robed figure‘s destination was the United Nations General Assembly building. What had begun as a dozen followers blossomed into several thousand. They stayed back at a distance of respect, but they followed the stranger‘s every move. No one spoke. They were in awe. 7 The Security Council of the United Nations was in session when the bearded figure arrived at the visitor‘s gate. He offered his name. It was Zemith. His appearance and demeanour brought a chuckle from the guard, a young man by the name of Scott Birchfield. ―I‘m sorry sir, but visitors are not allowed during an assembly of the Security Council.‖ ―But that is why I have come,‖ replied Zemith. ―They will wish to speak with me.‖ ―With all due respect, I have orders to admit no one,‖ said Birchfield firmly, removing his pistol from its holster with one hand, pushing his radio with the other. Zemith was unfazed. With a polite smile and a slight nod, Zemith disappeared. As he vanished, the zombie-like crowd snapped out of their trance. Many had no idea how they had arrived at their current location. Most could not remember the last several hours of their lives. The crowd was comprised of varying ages, ethnic backgrounds and stature in society. They did however share one commonality; they were filled with joy. Little did they know, their joy would be short-lived. Zemith was fully aware of the workings of the Security Council. Members of the Security Council were seldom far from the United Nations building. One of the many purposes of the Council was to act quickly in a crisis, something the United Nations Assembly was unable to do. Zemith materialized from thin air in front of an alarmed Security Council. The room was spacious, designed to house a crowd upwards of two hundred or more people. A beautiful tapestry depicting characters from various ages of history filled the north wall. The fifteen members of the Security Council were gathered at a large boardroom table in the middle of the room. Zemith approached them from the south. 8 A raised platform that formed a nearly complete semi- circle separated the Security Council from Assembly members. Members of the Assembly were permitted to participate in Security Council discussions but they held no sway. There were currently only eight assembly seats occupied. No matter. Zemith‘s words would be to the Security Council. Any response from the Assembly meant little to Zemith. Zalmay Khali, serving his fourth monthly term as president of the Security Council jumped to his feet, demanded an answer for the intrusion. ―Security,‖ shouted Zalmay. ―How did you get in here,‖ he demanded. ―An insignificant question as I am here. Perhaps you should ask me why I am here,‖ suggested Zemith. ―Security will be asking the questions,‖ countered Zalmay growing braver knowing his security team would be arriving any second. ―Perhaps,‖ shrugged Zemith, ―But I would think not.‖ The stranger had an eerie calm about him, and an air of absolute confidence. Zalmay decided to humour the stranger until his men arrived. ―Alright then, why are you here?‖ ―To deliver a message,‖ answered Zemith. ―Deliver a message to whom,‖ asked Zalmay. ―To us?‖ ―To mankind,‖ replied Zemith. Zalmay was beginning to perspire. Something was wrong with security. They should have entered the room within ten seconds of any breach. There were cameras everywhere, some hidden, some obvious. Motion detectors were installed at every entrance, activated once the council was in session. 9 ―You realize you will be arrested for this stunt,‖ said Zalmay. ―This is not a stunt. I am here to give the world what the United Nations fails to give; peace.‖ Before Zalmay could respond, security charged into the room, weapons locked on the stranger. ―Take him,‖ Zalmay ordered. As they advanced, Zemith waved his staff in their direction. ―Sleep,‖ he whispered, dropping them to the ground in an instant. ―Do not test me again,‖ said Zemith nonchalantly. With a nod of his head, a monitor in the corner came to life, displaying the top of the Empire State Building. ―Please note, if you will, the top of the building,‖ said Zemith as the monitor zoomed in on the antenna spire. With a wave of his hand, Zalmay vanished, reappearing midway up the spire, his jacket flapping dangerously in the wind. The members of the Security Council jumped to their feet, mouths agape. Zhang Yesui, the representative from China moved cautiously toward Zemith. ―Please, there is no need to harm Zalmay. Tell me what is that you wish and we will comply if we can.‖ ―I will return in three hours. Zalmay has failed miserably with his attempt at diplomacy. He is to remain where I have placed him. Arrange it so there is worldwide coverage for an announcement from your president. Do not waste my time with your emergency alert system. That relic should have been abandoned years ago. The network called CNN has the ability to do what I ask. This is within the scope of your power. When I return, if all has been arranged, I will release him,‖ said Zemith calmly, pointing toward the monitor. 10 ―Failure to comply will not bode well with my people.‖ With a smile and a wink, Zemith vanished. Carla Rozzala was enjoying her third day as technical supervisor when the memo was brought to her by her assistant, John Bilmont. The memo was red, indicating priority one. She instructed John to fill her in as they walked toward production. The memo was from the United Nations requesting an urgent world -wide feed. The time frame given was less than three hours. It was within her power to do so but she needed to know why first. Ashley Shrewsbury had been loading her groceries into the trunk of her cherry-red Mustang convertible when she vanished, leaving a half-filled cart and a small crowd of terrified onlookers.

  • Def Leppard – 02
    DEF LEPPARD – 02. Juli 2019 – Berlin – Zitadelle Spandau – Support: EUROPE – JOHN DIVA and the Rockets of Love – Text und Fotos: Holger Ott Im Zeichen des Retro rufen die Bands der guten alten 80er Jahre und die Fans pilgern in die Zitadelle Spandau von Berlin. Das alte Gemäuer ist beliebt, gibt es neben sehr guter Akustik auch von allen Plätzen eine hervorragende Sicht auf die schöne große Bühne. Das Wetter spielt heute auch mit. Weder zu heiß noch zu kalt und bei einem kleinen Lüftchen lässt es sich einige Stunden aushalten. Dieses Stehvermögen braucht das Publikum, denn mit drei Bands stehen, abgesehen von den Umbaupausen, geschlagene drei Stunden Musik auf dem Programm Eröffnet wird der Abend von einer, mir bis dato, unbekannten Band. JOHN DIVA mit seinen 'Rockets of Love' geben sich die Ehre und präsentieren in dreißig Minuten eine beeindruckende musikalische und optische Darbietung unter dem Motto: „Mama said, Rock is dead". Frontman JOHN DIVA und seine Mannen turnen in extravagantem Outfit über die Bühne. Schön grell und bunt darf es sein und sieht man dazu DIVAS passenden Hüftschwung, weiß der Fan sofort, dass es hier nur um Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll geht. Ohne Zweifel, die Truppe ist gut und rockt auch richtig fett ab. Also, im Auge behalten. Ein gelungener Einstand in den heutigen Abend. Zu EUROPE muss man nicht viel sagen. JOEY TEMPEST ist in top Form und schmettert seine bekanntesten Songs in die Menge. Das Gedränge vor der Bühne wird größer und der Hype wächst mit jedem Song ihrer einstündigen Show. Leider fällt durch die Supporterstellung einiges unter den Tisch, aber Hits wie „Carrie", „Superstitius" und natürlich das abschließende "The Final Countdown" reißen wieder alles heraus.

  • Def Leppard “Hysteria” By: Kyle Harman
    Def Leppard “Hysteria” By: Kyle Harman Hysteria would be a fitting name for the album thought Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen, following his 1984 injury from a horrific car accident that resulted in the loss of his left arm, Hysteria was the perfect title to describe the worldwide media coverage that followed the band between the years of 1984 and 1987. The album was the last to feature the late Steve Clark and his role of lead guitarist due to an overdose in the year of 1992. In the very prime years of glam metal in the late 80’s at the dawn of grunge genre about to begin, Def Leppard delivered the bands bestselling album to date with selling 25 million copies worldwide and 12 million in the US alone. The three year recording process of Hysteria was painstaking with the accident of drummer Rick Allen, and with producers coming and going left the band with the perfect example of sometimes patience truly does pay off. A unique recording process took place where each member recorded their own recordings at separate times, allowing each member to focus on their own performance on the album. The original intent of the album was to be a rock version of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, with the desire of having every song off the album as a possible hit single. The end result of the album was impressive to say the least with 7 singles released off the single album alone. The album recording sessions were painstaking at times, “Animal” consisted of 2 and a half years to produce its final product, where “Pour Some Sugar On Me” was finished within two weeks.
