             FINALLY SCIENCE FICTION FOR CONSERVATIVES
 
Greatness Lost Is Legend
 
A STORY OF ATLANTIS, THE UNITED STATES, THE STAR REPUBLIC
 
A Voyage through mulitple realities, Time, and Space.
New sci-fi rivets readers with fascinating and intriguing plots
 
Kihei, HI.  (Release date August 5th 2010)   From mysteries of Atlantis to Mayan Legend of 2012, today's global conflict, and interstellar travel.  Authors Patrick Kean and Roberta Skilling-Kean address these and more questions with an epic saga that follows the voyage of Captain George Yakamura.  Greatness Lost Is Legend - Volume one is sure to captivate both young and old readers, especially science fiction and fantasy enthusiasts.
 
The story starts with a commercial fisherman, Kal Dunbar who finds and artifact on the seafloor off the central coast of British Columbia.  Kal Dunbar is a man with dreams who makes an astounding discovery.  Through ruthless disregard of international law, Dunbar introduces technologies posing a critical economic threat to the United States and the world beyond.  Technology from 39,623 years ago.
 
It is AD 2254, Captain George Yakamura, on instructions from Earth, is exploring why an advanced civilization in the Rohini Star System destroyed itself.  After Kandango's crew saves Star Republic personnel on Midworld* in the same system, the captain starts to notice difficulty remembering historical details.  Did President Kennedy die of natural causes in 1983?  Suddenly a security alert comes from Earth, a formation nearby must be investigated.  From the opposite side, 246 light years distant, a man worries.  What can he do to save Atlantis's black-hole based global broadcast power station?
 
Kandango returns from its three-year interstellar voyage with Ekalb's story contained in a 60,000 page book found in Iran on Aug 9th 2014.  A leader of Atlantis, Ekalb explains his role in a catastrophic disaster that destroyed Earth's first advanced civilization.  An era of wonder snuffed out by an act of sabotage by a Homo Sapien based empire based on collectivism, and dictatorship.  The saga explains extinction of Cro-Magnon humans who were more intelligent than Homo Sapien who follows.  Worst of all, leaders of the Star Republic discover events between Oct 4th 2012 and November 5th 2014 in the United States had changed.  President Abama impeached, forced from office by an uprising that established a new order based on limited government, and weighing the right to vote on a citizens service to the nation, taxes paid, and business ownership.  Those long opposed to establishment of the New Republic of the United States on November 5th 2012 make their move to restore 'one citizen one vote democracy'.
 
Greatness Lost Is Legend offers plausable explanation of many science fiction technologies:  The Star Trek Phaser, Faster than Light Travel, Tractor Beam, Impulse Drive, the Replicator, and a form of 'beaming down' that gets around quantum uncertainty.  All this comes together in a great adventure of the past, present, and future.  To order this book, go to Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com, Xlibirs.com, or this web site.

CHARACTER BACKGROUND
 
George
Yakamura:Captain Star Ship Kandango. After Kandango returns from contact with Portal Yakamura realizes two realities have been created. He orders the 16 billion ton starship home.
 
EKALB:Husband of Zoein Zantean, Chief Matriarch of Atlantis. Scientist, Physicist, Engineer, Professional Bin Ball player.  During the last 4 orbits of Atlantis's existance was CEO of a singularity based global broadcast power station project.  Attempts to stop Zarlian agents from sabotaging project.  Singularity is release triggering a 160 million MT explosion. Escapes destruction of Atlanits with help of crewmembers of the Star Ship Kandango from AD 2254. Dies at age of 1481 at Adam in present day Oman.
 
Kal Dunbar:   Commercial Fisherman from British Columbia, Canada.  Discovers remains of gravitational wave receiver off Goose Island in Queen     Charlotte Sound, British Columbia, in 70 fathoms of water.  Artifact weighs 18 tons, of which 12.4 Tons is very fine gold sheet used in the artifact's hyper-capacitor.  With capital from the gold Mr. Dunbar acts on several inventions he had designed during his decades of commercial fishing.  Obtains "Great Book" in 2023 during tense period in America as President Reece begins to turn back 100 years of progressive programs and policies. Moves to India where he establishes a new global business empire that soon expands into the inner solar system.   Names his first operational inter-planetary ship Nanaimo.  Constructed using the frame of a Boeing 777-F Nanaimo can cruise at 885 kilometers a second.  Builds nuclear powered surface effect aircraft capable of carrying 2000 passangers, five thousand tons of cargo, able to cross the Pacific from San Francisco to Tokyo in 31 hours. 
 
Karl Dunbar: Great grandson of Kal Dunbar placed aboard Kandago under instructions in a 60,000 page golden book placed near present day  Harsin, Iran around 37,611 BC by Ekalb Zantean.  Ekalb places the book in a "living granite" repository on the request of Kal Dunbar.  Dies in Adam, Omam on Sept 9th 37,583 BC.
                      
 Schuje: Uulcan engineer.  Refines gravitational resonance drive by incorporating black holes into high C travel.  A ship using resonance can arrive at a destination before it left Earth in terms of local time.  Ship time is subject to time dilatation. Maximum speed of Kandango is 99.997% of C. Faster than light travel requires "stored energy" in a Black Hole to trigger gravitational effects of such great power space is warped in direction of travel. A shortened "tunnel" is cut in normal space just large enough to accomodate a ship.  A Light Year in  normal space can be shortened to little as a hundred million miles.  Tunnels cannot be aimed at a Star, or Planet else gravitational effect would tear it apart.  Any small object in the tunnel of shortened space/time is pulverized.
 
Bryant.  First officer of Kandango.  Fighter pilot following in the footsteps of his great, great, great grandfather George Walker Bush.  Assisted Schuje in development of Kandango's unique method to exceed light speed using black holes.

 Atlantis and Political Stuff
 
 
 
Ever wondered about Atlantis?   From the Old Testament to the secular Chariots of the Gods people have written about a great lost civilization.  Thousands of books have appeared on the subject of Atlantis in the last century.  
Including serious television like the History Channel, to the 60's series The Time Tunnel.  Greatness Lost Is Legend approaches this subject like never before.
 
For starters:  Where was Atlantis located? How could it disappear under the sea in a day and a half?  Why is there no physical evidence? Why do stories of Atlantis appear from China to America?
 
Things to consider if one believes Atlantis existed before mankind in the current era re-created the written word.
       
                    Atlantis was a global civilization.
                    Atlantis was equal to, or more advanced than our civilization.
                    More than one species of man was alive, Cro-Magnon, Homo Sapien  Neanderthal, a possible variant in present day Russia (yet to be named).
                    Atlantis existed during the last Ice Age.
                     
Greatness Lost is a science fiction story that applies sound science at its core.  It challenges the reader to consider folly of humanity can remain very consistent throughout the ages.  It contains a message of hope and warning for today. 
 
Greatness Lost covers three time periods, Atlantis 39,623 years ago, the present through AD 2023 and five weeks in AD 2254.  All three time periods are ones of great strife, cause an old one: Liberty, Freedom of choice, and right to enjoy fruits of one's labor threatened by overbearing government tyranny. 
 
The story bases Atlantis's economic success on a Republican form of government.  It is a Cro-Magnon dominated country, matriarchal based, spawned in the Mediterranean basin, that is under military and social pressure from a Homo Sapien based rival moving up from Africa.  Zariia, an empire under a collectivist form of government.  Atlanteans are polarized politically as its monied elites, media, and entertaiment sectors that recently moved away from belief in limited Republican form of government to a system of one person one vote.  Zarlian politicans and diplomats begin to take advantage of Atlantean politics of envy, fear, and power...
 
Sound familiar?  Six years ago the authors of Greatness Lost predicted America will enter a new phase based on similar political polarization and loss of trust in its system.  He predicts it will not turn out like Europe.
 
Today radical Progressives are attempting to chart a new course for America. Protected by major media, radicals are taking an election victory based on fuzzy slogans as a major mandate. Radicals behind the party in power are not aware of a fundamental shift that occurred quickly after the 2008 election as millions of detached Americans woke up to a radical President.  A new conservative-independent network that reaches 35 million people daily has gelled.  Using micro video technology and modern communications it is smarter and faster than the established education-media-progressive network that elected the current President, this network is growing at half a million people monthly.  Harnessed it will raise billions in the next election cycle - wealth aimed at the heart of progressive power. This explains swift effort to grab power for government, and control free speech. It explains Obama's push for Federal Government control of healthcare, the banking system, and energy companies.  The "Journ-o-list" scandal shows major media outlets are coordinating with the White House to control the message.   Today the BBC explains how Obama coordinating Chuck Schumer Democrat Senator New York, with the NY Times and CBS are seeking to cover up the fact the President pressured the Scottish government to release the terrorist who killed 274 passengers over Lockerbee Scottland. To mislead Americans Senator Schumer is attempting to claim this piece of human filth was let go at the bequest of British Petroleum when in fact the Obama administration had been part of the deal.  Notice silence from ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, the Washington Post and New York Times. Once again Obama's 24/7 campaign of deceit is assisted by those who profess to be professional presenters of "news".
 
Faced with failing economic policies Progressives are now attempting to increase racial strife to divide America and hold on to enough power after the 2010 elections to cement new powers enacted since Obama took office.  A race war to win a race against time for Progressive policies that will trigger a second recession starting late this year, or early next, as additional taxes take hold and 'stimulus' money runs out. Evidence of a new recession is appearing all over government statistics.  Still the Obama zombie media "informs" Americans a recovery is underway. 125,000 jobs lost is only the tip of an iceberg, for another 652,000 left the workforce, a net shrinkage of 777,000 workers.  The month Obama assumed office America lost 725,000 jobs with 175,000 new people entering the workforce, for a net shrinkage of America's workforce of 550,000. In term of size of US workforce America lost more in May of 2010 than January 2009.  Economically this is a -0.2% drop of GDP adjusted for inflation.  Last week new claims for unemployment insurance, 452,000, is higher than the 400,000 needed to keep unemployment from rising under normal circumstances.  Based on July's figures so far America will be on track for a worse month than June.  Lets see how Obama's propaganda division gets the Bureau of Labor Statistics to cook the books. To show even zero job loss for July 820,000 people will have to "leave the workforce." Today US manufacturing data shows a one percent drop from May.
 
A central theme of Greatness Lost:  Progressives are sending America on a unsustainable course based on monetarism, new social programs, and environmental quasi science that are not supported by a large majority of taxpaying citizens. A super-majority of tax paying Americans now conclude government spending is a dead end. Even China is getting the message. Chinese holdings of US Teasuries dropped by $35 billion last month.  In response intellectually bankrupt progressives claim those raising their voice against our new form of Keynesian economics are racists, messengers of hate and liars.  In reality those opposing runaway monetarism are the most fundemental American, many of whom have stood and spilled blood for the ideals of Liberty. Many know rapidly growing government must be opposed before it enslaves. They know today's progressives are not evil, it is the power of the system they are creating that is.  History is clear: Concentrated power without check will leave just a small step to dictatorship, tyranny, that is always followed by re-education camps or worse...
 
America before its Revolution was special, after it became a 5,000 year leap for all mankind.  A Republic of limited government allowing citizens to pursue dreams, keep the benefits of this labor. America's ideology was, and continues to be a threat to collectivist elites around the world.  39 millennium ago similar conditions led to destruction of a global civilization.
 
Thankfully America's saving grace is its history of civil soceity based on rule of law. This was reflected in nonviolence from over 2.7 million Americans on Sept 12th 2009.  Not since Ghandi have so many rose up with malice for none, and charity for all.   From the War of 1812 to the recent Banking crisis Americans of good character and reasonable thinking improve our general welfare.  In history to come this underlying strength of America will continue. Logic seeps through no matter how much politics gets in the way.
 
The story of Greatness Lost Is Legend is based on these assumptions.  Liberal-Progressive elements never fail to resort to government violence as citizens begin to realize their nation is being redefined in a manner which will severely curtail individual rights and freedoms.  Blowback is coming.  The question is will enough reasonable people prevail and bring America back from the brink?
 
After every recession, the next strong business cycle is driven by inventions of a 'Howard Hughes' tycoon who dominates up to decades afterward. This downturn-recovery cycle will be no different.  The question for the first time in over 150 years is where will this person(s) surface?  To repeat: Neo Progressive economics has led to a situation where America's tax system is a lot harder on innovators than China or India.  Greatness Lost Is Legend's story places this generation's "Howard" in India. Why?  India's economy is 93% domestic.  Off all emerging economies, including China, India is least afflicted by the global downturn.  Reliable data shows it is still growing at 5% per annum. (One cannot trust China's economic data and it's ageing population is a growing problem)    An economic refugee from North America, the story's central character quickly begins to dominate international shipping, viral based bio-fuels, and later, inner solar system space travel.  As Howard Hughes did in the late 1930's, through WWII, into the 1950's, this man begins to change the world.
 
During this period America is wrought by a second re-alignment as profound as the Civil War.  Millions of citizens waking up to where Progressive class warfare politics were taking their country move against it.  Neo-Progressives become more and more desperate to hold on to power as their desperate bubble boom - inflation cycle ends in disaster as it did for Germany in 1933.  Liberal financiers and elitists behind those currently in power seek to cement status for a new global order.  Exactly what Jefferson warned about for America over 200 years ago.    A century of Progressive economic thinking starts to be exposed just as Communism was in the former Soviet Union.   Progressives, most in the Democrat Party, along with some Republicans, attempt to defend themselves by using government power to choke off debate and attempt to steal the '12 election. A man fearing for his country and the Constitution responds...

America's re-alignment arrives at a pivotal time for Humanity. This is where the fictional story of Greatness Lost takes place.

Following current trends Homo Sapien will probably sprial downward as it consumes resources at a pace greater than the planet can renew.  Progressives in a spasm of global community thought, started this trend in the late 1960's. Led by elites behind environmentalists - politicans all over the world, they applied community ownership principle to the oceans, Antarctica, the Moon, and beyond.  No nuclear powered rocket engines, no exploitation without license from some kind of domestic or international body. A nation that built the Empire State Building in 400 days will not finish replacing the World Trade Center in 4000!  This incredible reality is a result of ideology that believes resources are owned collectivelly.  In reality global resources are abused "collectively" three basic ways: Corruption by despotic nations, first world business-government corruption, or placed off limits by its henchman: conservation-environmental concern.

In the story after domestic re-alignment  America returns to its republican-capitalist roots just in time for a new Howard Hughes, who doesn't give Americans, and the world for that matter, a choice.  On June 19th 2014 a nuclear powered "single stage to orbit" spacecraft lifts out of "a pacific island of considerable importance" for the Moon.  Built right under the noses of the American government, its flight plan calls for a landing in Moscow four days later.  Kal Dunbar has readied four larger ships with plans to mine helium three and precious metals from the moon and beyond.

 A new alignment begins. America after 100 years of soft civil war between Progressives and its Constittuion once again re-asserts its driving leadership of humanity. 

In AD 2254 the captain of the Star Ship Kandango discovers evidence its encounter with Portal has split off an alternative reality.  President Kennedy was killed on Nov 22nd 1963. He didn't die of natural causes in 1987?  President Wilson won re-election with help from a man that should have died. A third world war triggered by the Eastern Alliance's radical socialist Islamic Council occurs in 2053 killing 1.6 billion.

A key event in America not seen before, Islamic terrorists attack in a systemic.  On Washington DC, and dozens of schools across the US on Nov 9th 2011, killing more than a thousand children. A week later a cyber attack taking down banking and communications networks. Last, just before Christmas, America's national electrical grid is disrupted.  With the Senate destroyed, emergency powers are given to the President.  Early in February 2012, as several States and Americans begin to organize against progessive attempts to sieze power permanently. As part of his response the President orders the FCC takes control of talk radio, end broadcast rights of "Wolf News".  Out of fear of liberty lost, a Marine Colonel seizes a radio station in Dayton Ohio calling for national resistance.  Texas activates its National Guard. The State passes a law giving two votes to those who own a business that pays taxes, for all its Congressional districts and Senate seats . Similar laws quickly pass in 9 other States.  The President is forced to leave the US and set up a government in exile in Europe just before the 2012 election. After election results a new President armed with super-majorities in the House and Senate begins to dismantle 100 years of Progressive law in America.  After a new economic boom ensues that lasts until islamic terror rears its head in a near cataclysmic war starting in 2053.

Captain George Yakamura, confused by recent events, and concerned about nefarious statements by Portal.  He knows some events are true, but other facts appear to be false.  All of this seems to key in on one man.  He sends a probe back to 1912 to place a para intelligent nervous system implant into future NY Times reporter Walter Duranty.  What it's record shows means civil war.  This man's central role in election of President Wilson, FDR, promotion of the former Soviet Union and marxist principles almost destroyed human freedom on Earth. 

Yakamura suddenly realizes, Ekalb, 39 millennia ago, started a chain of events that triggered his new reality.
