The Last Straw
Come quibble over a Galaxy far far away!Once, in a theater long ago and far, far away, young audiences thrilled to the nostalgic space epic of yesteryear, known then only as STAR WARS, and were duly enthralled. So much goodwill, so much affection, so much love has rarely been lavished on any franchise. So much money from so many eager fans was never so readily available.And yet, with one potent Deathstar-like blast of mind-breakingly awful film making, the Disney Corporation has managed to alienate that goodwill, spurn that affection, and lose that money. Why? What makes THE LAST JEDI so appallingly bad? What made the film maker think he could win over his audience by insulting his audience?Science Fiction Grandmaster John C Wright laments, analyzes, and autopsies the horrific story-telling of a film that, for so many of us, was the last hope for STAR WARS, the last dime we will ever spend on this once-beloved franchise, and the last straw that broke our patience.

The Judge of Ages

release date: Feb 11, 2014
The Judge of Ages
The year is 10,515 AD. The Hyades Armada, traveling at near lightspeed, will reach Earth in just four centuries to assess humanity''s value as slaves. For the last 8,000 years, two opposing factions have labored to meet the alien threat in very different ways. One of them is Ximen del Azarchel, immortal leader of the mutineers from the starship Hermetic and self-appointed Master of the World, who has allowed his followers to tamper continuously with the evolutionary destiny of Man, creating one bizarre race after another in an apparent search for a species the Hyades will find worthy of conquest. The other is Menelaus Montrose, the posthuman Judge of Ages, whose cryonic Tombs beneath the surface of Earth have preserved survivors from each epoch created by the Hermeticists. Montrose intends to thwart the alien invaders any way he can, and to remain alive long enough to be reunited with his bride Rania, who is on a seventy-millennia journey to confront the Hyades'' masters, tens of thousands of light-years away. Now, with the countdown to the Hyades'' arrival nearing its end, del Azarchel and Montrose square off for what is to be their final showdown for the fate of Earth, a battle of gunfire and cliometric calculus; powered armor and posthuman intelligence. Judge of Ages is the wildly inventive third volume in a series exploring future history and human evolution from John C. Wright.

A Non-negotiable Salvation

release date: Jan 04, 2010
A Non-negotiable Salvation
There is an eternal blessing in knowing who you are and to whom you belong. This book will explore the question in everyone's mind, "Am I going to Heaven." However, with the gift of salvation also comes responsibility of the Believer. They are to love their God above all else; to love one another and to defend their faith in a world of non- believers. God expects us to witness to unbelievers, praying that the Holy Spirit will come upon them and they will be saved. The guarantee to eternal life is through faith in Jesus Christ. Love is the recipe to God's heart and to the heart of others. In a world of diverse beliefs, Jesus will still stand. In order to be saved one must be convicted, convinced and then converted. The greatest gift ever given to man came from God at no cost to man. Baptism is the door to express a portion of our responsibility. Sin comes at a cost. Knowing Jesus is the inspiration to live the good life. Once the Believer comes to know Jesus, we must pass it on. My aim is that all readers shall understand God's will as revealed in the Bible and experience the total joy and peace in knowing, once saved always saved.

Fugitives of Chaos
John C. Wright established himself at the forefront of contemporary fantasy with Orphans of Chaos, which launched a new epic adventure. Wright''s new fantasy, continuing in Fugitives of Chaos, is about five orphans raised in a strict British boarding school who begin to discover that they may not be human beings. The students at the school do not age, while the world around them does. The orphans have been kidnapped from their true parents, robbed of their powers, and raised in ignorance by super-beings: pagan gods, fairy-queens, Cyclopes, sea-monsters, witches, or things even stranger. Amelia is apparently a fourth-dimensional being; Victor is a synthetic man who can control the molecular arrangement of matter around him; Vanity can find secret passageways through solid walls; Colin is psychic; Quentin is a warlock. Each power comes from a different paradigm or view of the inexplicable universe, and they should not be able to co-exist under the same laws of nature. They must learn to control their strange abilities in order to escape their captors. Something very important must be at stake in their imprisonment.
