A blog sounds like it might cause a stroke if lodged in an artery. A blog would require boots when visited. I prefer b'muse. If web log, contracted, is "blog," then web muse, contracted, is "b'muse." In this case, very apt. ]]> Mon, 09 Feb 2004 11:15:30 -0600 Fri, 06 Feb 2004 19:25:27 -0600 The sky over the planet Enhuis, near Epsilon Eridani, is changing. The Maresh Points appear, challenging long-held tenets about the structure of the universe and promising a pathway to wealth and power to those who control these portals to the stars.

The world has suffered from a series of calamities that led, not to a collapse of civilization, but to its insidious decline. Technology has not been lost, it is just inaccessible to all but those who have wealth, privilege and power. When young Rippa Iowa L'Guin is selected as the best genetic match for history professor Jad Stange Nobel, the couple learns that they are linked by more than compatible genes. The first time they touch establishes a telepathic connection. As they learn the truth about who really controls with world's resources, they suspect that their "adaptation" is part of a larger plot involving genetic manipulation generations ago. They must discover who or what wants to control them now. The whole world could be depending on them. Besides, there are children involved. ]]> Sun, 25 Jan 2004 21:34:35 -0600 Thu, 22 Jan 2004 14:14:48 -0600 C.S.
