Duncan O' Finioan was the Ultimate Warrior; brainwashed, conditioned and controlled as part of a highly classified MKULTRA program called PROJECT TALENT.
From a thousand others trained as child warriors in 1966, he is now, he believes, only one of 20 left alive to tell the story.
Twenty years later, Duncan (who is of mixed Cherokee and Irish blood) comes forward to tell the truth about the Ultimate Warrior project: how he was chosen, groomed and tortured into becoming the perfect fighting machine, combining physical superiority with the extraordinary mental abilities of a psychic spy.

A UK astronomer may have discovered a new and bizarre planet orbiting the Sun, 1,000 times further away than the most distant known planet. Currently, Pluto is the planet we think of being on the edge of our planetary system. But the new body would be 30,000 times more distant from the Sun than the Earth - putting it a significant distance on the way to the nearest star. What is more, it seems that the new planet cannot be a true member of our Sun's family of planets. It may be a planet that was born elsewhere, and roamed throughout the galaxy only to be captured on the outskirts of our own Solar System.

One day a big rock will slam into the Earth and wipe out practically all life, again, so why are we arguing about whether or not to colonise the Moon and Mars?
There's an asteroid racing towards us called Apophis - after the Egyptian mythical demon of evil and destruction - which might slam into the Earth in 2036. Scientists are offering a $US50,000 reward for anyone who can figure out how to track it, so we know whether we need to divert it or blow it out of the sky. Not that we know how to do that, but we'd like some advanced warning if we need to figure it out and Bruce Willis is too busy to help out.

Dearest friends,

We are very sad to tell you that Maya del Mar passed away suddenly this week. Her death was quick and painless, just as her independent Aquarian spirit would have wanted. Maya loved her work and she loved her readers. If you would like to send memories or thoughts about Maya, we will be posting them in days to come.
