Mothership


Book Description

Shrewd, devious, cunning and a born liar - but as a Court Jester, Jad's a disaster. So when he's sent off with the warlord's son, Prince Kender, on a spying mission, he's hoping that his less desirable traits will actually save his life. Since the Day of Wonder, when all the electric lights stopped working, there have been rumours of unrest in the neighbouring domains . . . and no one has seen hide nor hair of any of the Elite, the ruthless technocrat class that have ruled Urba for centuries. What most of the inhabitants don't realise is that their world of Urba is actually a giant spacecraft, an ark built more than a thousand years ago to save as much of the Earth's population as possible before the sun went nova. The Elite were originally the ship's crew, and as a social experiment, the ship's population were forced to live a pseudo-mediaeval life . . . and as the centuries passed, the Elite became decadent, corrupt and cruel and the truth about Urba became hidden. And now Jad and his courageous - if thick - Prince are about to find out what happened to the Elite - and what's happening to the people of Urba . . .

Mothership Connections


Book Description

Bringing a black Atlantic approach to constructive postmodern efforts to understand and transcend modern worldviews and modern world orders, Mothership Connections draws upon the work of scholars in the tradition of W. E. B. Du Bois, Charles H. Long, Alfred North Whitehead, and Charles Hartshorne. The author shows that connections to the originating influences of transatlantic slavery and black Atlantic experiences are essential to any adequate account of modernity and postmodernity. He also argues that metaphysics is essential to theology and moral theory, synthesizing neoclassical metaphysics and black theology to develop a black Atlantic account of metaphysical aspects of struggle, power, and ethical deliberation.







Balls Eight: History of the Boeing NB-52B Stratofortress Mothership


Book Description

It has been asserted that the Boeing NB-52B Stratofortress, carrying Air Force serial 52-0008, can lay claim to being the airplane that has seen and participated in more history than any other single airplane. For forty-five years, the NB-52B was a fixture at Edwards Air Force Base. While the NB-52B is most famous for launching the three North American X-15 rocket planes, it continued to serve in the role of launch platform for a multitude of programs until its final mission on November 16, 2004. It was the oldest flying B-52 by nearly ten years. The book is 200 pages long. It contains 246 color photographs, 89 black and white photographs, and 2 other illustrations.




Life on the Mothership


Book Description

There were just the two of us in the ship.I had not been on the Ship very long when I had my first experience of the Mothership's Oversoul. I had been there long enough, however, to understand that the ship was a living, multidimensional being. I had a vague understanding of the sixth dimensional areas of the ship. However, the seventh dimensional portion of the ship is not an “area.” It is a formless soul that overlooks all the souls who reside on the ship.The super-subconscious frequency of the ship automatically observes, repairs and updates the basic structure, which is always changing. Therefore it holds the basic form of every component of the ship. On the other hand, the Oversoul consciousness is a formless, yet tangible energy that feels like an electrical field filled with love and cohesiveness.These feelings usually are most predominant on the upper areas of the ship, such as the bridge and all command centers. However, when necessary, the Oversoul over- lights meetings, individuals, and devices on the ship that are called upon to function at an exceptionally high state of consciousness.I was taken to the Mothership shortly after I had left “time” during my meditation. Once I could leave time, a vast array of new abilities lay just beyond my reach. Hence, I was taken to the Mothership for more advanced studies. The Arcturian and I entered a scout ship and headed for the Mothership.
