    About this ebook

    Episode 7: Confrontation. Seven and Kronoss face off with six strange gymnasts from Mars. Stacey and Jack intervene.

    From Plato's Cave to The Matrix, philosophers and scientists and dreamers have questioned the very nature of reality. Scientists today are actually running multi-million dollar experiments to discover hints on whether or not we are living in a computer simulation.

    The world may not be exactly what it seems. There is no body. Data is data.

      “Wake up.” The words shuffled through the darkness of her mind, tugging at her. “Wake up.” Firm, persistent. A trickle of light invaded her senses, growing into a blinding glare as her eyelids fluttered. “Where… Where am I?” Myrah asked groggily, her

      Meren Dulance, Lord of High Vale, paced in the darkened high chamber. The room flickered by the light of one small lamp, and the great and large man cast vast shadows in the high-ceilinged room, passing back and forth before the amber flame of the lamp, his mighty arms clenched across his chest.
