Area 51

Book Cover & Preview Text
TO THE READER : Time Currents is a true story, a time travel chronicle. I was a minor player in this epic saga, but I’ve recorded every event, interacted with all the players, and have explained the science and the theories behind it all to the best of my ability. This is also the story of how humanity was nearly rescued from thermonuclear Armageddon, from the mad generals on both sides, from the American nuclear arsenal and the Russian doomsday machine – an extinction level event! Yes, I said nearly because it’s not over. But hope remains, and we must cling to hope. And we are alive. I’ve changed a few names to keep the publisher from being sued and to keep my own name pristine and pure. Hah!! Most of the events are arguably “public domain” anyhow because they happened 100 years ago (though only days ago on my timeline) -- in 1900 -- except for what occurred momentarily in 1999 and 2000. The past swallowed up the present and became the de facto future, and the currents of Time became a whirlpool, or more properly, a centrifuge. At least for the 107 souls in the part of Area 51 caught up in the vortex – plus the alien – the one rescued at Roswell in 1947. In truth, it was the alien who would make all the difference. NASA, the Air Force and the “intelligence” agencies no longer concern me because they cannot act against me. If they sued or prosecuted me, they would be confirming what they are desperately trying to cover up, and they know I could blow it wide open. Let’s just call it an uneasy truce. And if it is true that they’re out to get me, then it follows that I’m not really being paranoid, doesn’t it? Doesn’t it? But with the White House, and ultimately with their historians, it’s another matter: three Presidents were involved, two of them – William McKinley and Teddy Roosevelt -- long dead. Bill Clinton knows the whole story, since, at that crucial moment, it was his own vision and forbearance, and, quite surprisingly, the level-headedness of Boris Yeltsin, that jointly pulled us back from catastrophe, at least for the moment. True harlequins of hubris, those two? Perhaps so, but heroes nevertheless! Then there was the equally improbable hero, the enigmatic Nikola Tesla who straddled the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and almost made it to the twenty-first. If the world is saved, he, too, deserves much of the credit. The actual story -- call it a documentary or call it a novel – follows the Prologue -- the “Scientific Fable” -- a creation story of three species. Members of the first two, one from the Sirius system, the other from a star system in Orion’s Belt, found their way to our Solar System early on, each seeding the earth with their DNA, which struggled mightily in opposing directions to influence the evolution of life on earth. The third is us. So there you have it. Remember: facts can be fictional, and conversely, fiction can be factual! And if you’re only looking for entertainment, just skip the Prologue and go straight to Part I. The story begins at midnight in Moscow. Wear your incredulity like a magic cloak, an invisibility cloak! The truth may yet filter through. Gerhard Terfehr Narrator

About the Book
TIME CURRENTS Surfing the waves of paradox Time travel needn’t be a stretch. We’re all time travelers. In our waking world, we seem to “travel” or ride on a shared vector -- the time axis -- moving into the future at a fixed rate with all our companions. Have we left an inalterable past behind us? Know that as Spaceship Earth courses through the ocean of spacetime, it leaves a traceable, luminous trail in its wake. Therein lies the first secret of the physics of time travel. When the body sleeps, we awaken to ourselves and to our true power under the sway of a wiser and nobler part of us -- an unsleeping creative being within -- whose hand is on a time rheostat of unlimited range in which a second can be an hour and a minute a year, utterly real on our own timeline. For the physicist, this creative imaging faculty, operating in massless diachronic space, possesses electrical reality, and consists in the excitation of an internal spatiotemporal field, volitionally controlled and executed, and fully consonant with natural law. Therein lies the second secret. At Area 51, they could not have known the magnitude and the scale of the forces that they were about to unleash. Luckily, the Nommo, their extraterrestrial guest, knew more. Therein lies the tale. The author doesn’t fl aunt his erudition, which is legendary, but you quickly discover it on your own as your mind grows and expands in the minds of the characters at Area 51. Prof. deJavanne has a rare gift for making complex and subtle ideas easy to understand – and fun. Dr. Robert A. Rose, Rewiring your Brain Time Currents is distinguishable from your everyday space opera by the sheer magnitude of what is at stake, the depth of the characters, rock solid science, and the villains you will love to hate. It is an engaging story with a surprise ending. Hugh J. Thompson, Creative Linguistics Time Currents is a tale of two epochs, a century apart, bridged by an authentic genius, a gorgeous, sensual Russian beauty, a brilliant inventor and an alien. It is both entertaining and thought provoking. But beware: if you follow the science and the logic too closely you may start believing it. That just won’t do! After all, it is fi ction. Isn’t it?

About the Author
Fred W. deJavanne (An De Zhe), is a gifted author, theoretician, linguist (six modern languages, three ancient languages), translator and editor – and musician. He has served as professor, vice-chancellor and college president at three major Chinese universities: Tsinghua University, Harbin Medical University, and Harbin University of Commerce. His wide-ranging interests, besides quantum physics and mathematics, include metaphysics, ancient and medieval cosmology, astronomy, James Joyce, Greek and Chinese philosophy, and psycholinguistics. His books include, among others, two novels -- Time Currents (sci-fi) and Acid Reign; Einstein’s Lament – a collection of epic poems and essays on quantum physics; Word Power—a textbook and teaching encyclopedia of English word origins for university students, written in English and Chinese; Waterlogged Chopstix -- a travel book and cultural handbook for foreign residents of China; The Comic Apocalypse—a study of and guide to James Joyce’s Ulysses; and original translations, French into English, of Vertigo of the Void and Being and Time by French philosopher Eugene de Grandry, for which he was awarded the coveted Grand Prix Humanitaire de France, for “services rendus aux lettres.” Prof. deJavanne served as Senior Editor of International Review of the Arts, and Associate Editor of Heartland Magazine, the Los Alamos Independent and The Inkslinger’s Review. A pianist and composer as well, he has two music CD’s to his credit: “Live at the Palace” and “The Phantom of the Piano.” He has four grown children who have so far produced eight grandchildren including two sets of twins. Residing in Harbin, China (next door to Siberia), he winters gratefully each year at his other home in Phoenix, Arizona.
