The Omega Wave (hardcover) (Book) - 9/22/2008 6:58:42 AM
The Omega Wave is science fiction in its most complicated presentation. Author Richard Rydon injects pure science into a story that incorporates kidnapping, torture, and cover-ups. Science is the base of the terror that ensues and the center of the enlightenment that ultimately leads to the end of a nightmare.
Luper Beauchamps was originally hired by Wes Lane Inc. to develop new chip interfaces and to secure patents. After a short, but successful stint on the job, Quade Barras, the Director of the Neurochip Facility befriended Luper and ultimately offered him a job in his department testing neurochips. Frieda Delvin, an IT Assistant is assigned to help Luper with his new assignment. Quade’s assistant, Rose Allen, also works very closely with Luper and Frieda on the project.
The neurochips are created from strips of human brain. Wes Lane has an agreement with local hospitals to obtain the tissue from the deceased. There are limits to the number of neurochips the company can develop due to rules established by the Computer Ethics Committee. As Luper, Frieda, and Rose begin to mesh as a team, they explore various techniques and equipment for increasing the life-cycle of the neurochips. The scientists are seeking answers to two questions: Where does consciousness begin? Where does consciousness end?
As the neurochips gain in age and brain function (including perception and telepathy), Luper and Frieda discover strange activity on the adjoining Army base and Central Asian Embassy. After several secret expeditions to the embassy, the couple learns that prisoners are being tortured with the assistance of “minders”, people trained to coordinate their brain waves with those of the neurochips to cause distress and physical pain to the detainees.
The Omega Wave includes detailed scientific references from the opening of the book. Initially, the text may be difficult to follow for readers who are not scientifically inclined, but as the story progresses, Rydon breaks the science down into manageable components that fit seamlessly into the rest of the plot. Throughout the book, the three researchers “… systematically test the effect of various electromagnetic (EM) frequencies in the range from 1 to 100 cycles per second (hertz)” on each neurochip. They also work towards putting an end to the abuse of human rights taking place at the embassy. Luper and Frieda risk their own freedom to achieve their mission.
The Omega Wave will provide a refresher in college-level sciences, stimulate the reader’s imagination, and feed the desire for adventure.

I love the ocean and would of loved to live there. Hopefully some day my dream might come true with faith in miracles and God's gifts coming to me.
Butterfly (Poetry) - 11/12/2008 1:02:57 PM
Butterflys doe transform from death to life and are a symbol of mine that are a favorite since my hubby Tom died on Aug 17 07. I put a yellow one on his grave. I saw a blue monarch fly by my shoulder and land at my home steps and it stayed awhile an fluttered its wings and that was Tom's spirit saying he was alright, Cause it was the day I came back home from his memorial service. I have written a poem about it too. Tom's litle yellow butterfly.

Angels are wondrous things in my life. I see them, hear them, talk to them, and know they are with me often in my life now that I am older.

Somestimes here in PA in Feb we get a sort of taste of summer. We have some warm days into the 70's. I remember when my girls were small taking them out to their swing on a Feb day.

And my prayer for little Spikey...is that his Spikes are extra sharp, enough to puncture any tyre of a car that may just run over him....

In God's eyes, we are to forgive and not to judge. I forgive and pray for the hurt as we Christians should.

LOL...I had to look up the word bollard in order to fully understand this poem. But don't all men exhibit a type of bollardism (is that a word)?
I like the way you decribed a woman in her leisure. A very rich language; something us American's often lack. ~ Sara
