Submarine Expedition
Submarine Expedition
Earth’s global ocean covers seventy percent of its surface. Its average depth is two point three miles. There are six-mile-deep trenches where the mantle consumes old ocean floor, and mid-ocean ridges where it pushes out new. Some experts consider the ocean more hostile than space. Admiral Martin (retired) is fond of saying; “The sea will get you if it can.”
Now, there is a place in the Arctic Ocean, about three hundred miles from the North Pole, roughly three miles below the polar ice cap, where hydrothermal water percolates through newly formed crust. Where mineral precipitates have built a kingdom of towers, spires, and bridges. Where giant blood-red tube worms and foot long shrimp thrive. And where an ancient dragon returns to life after a million-year sleep.
Meanwhile, in more southern waters, industrialist and marine explorer William “Bill” Martin has embarked on a three-month expedition to the mid-ocean ridge beneath the Arctic ice cap. Critical to the success of this mission is his submarine Expedition. Expedition is an extraordinary nuclear powered research vessel. It can make five thousand feet depth to keel. It has transparent titanium-aluminum windows, an active camouflage system, and seven sonar systems. It carries drilling equipment, a diving bell, an exploratory submersible that can walk over coalescing lava flows, and three mini subs. The admiral is prepared for anything the sea can throw at him. Or so he thinks.
After discovering a mineral treasure trove of precious metals and rare earth elements, escaping from a deep-sea dragon by the skin of its teeth, and while his science team is still examining core samples, a call comes in from the Navy. “Bill, we need your help.” Cetaceans are beaching themselves in large numbers on New Jersey's shores, and one of our submarines is missing. Will Expedition and his crew figure out why the whales are grounding themselves and why the Navy’s submarine is missing?

The Algorithm of Power
Navigating social life can feel overwhelming — especially when you’re unsure of where you fit in.
"I have the ability to walk into any room and command the highest level of attention and respect with just my mere presence. I can shift any social dynamic and bend it in my favor; and here is another cool ability of mine: I can take absolutely anyone and turn them into a social elite just like me."
But things weren't always like that for me. I've suffered with chronic social anxiety since I was 12 and after years of therapy and observation, I cracked the single cause of social anxiety and worked on creating a powerful guide - an algorithm for anyone to follow and overcome their fear of stepping up and gaining their place in the world.
This E-book combines all my teaching and training skills put into a simple archetypal framework to follow. There is no chance of going wrong. This is a one size fits all formula to overcoming social anxiety and gaining social status. Think of it as a simulated passageway inside someone's mind who can control the room, because that is exactly how I envisioned it to be. Once you learn to see things the way I do, through a framework, you can have fun with it. Social situations become gamified. What once scared you, will excite you.
Have you ever felt invisible in a room full of people? Or maybe you’ve been talked over so many times you stopped trying to speak up. Worse still, you’ve watched others — no smarter, no better than you — effortlessly climb the social ladder while you’re left wondering what you’re doing wrong.
I get it. I’ve been there. The anxiety. The overthinking. The constant fear of saying the wrong thing or not being “enough.” But here’s the truth no one tells you: social power isn’t about luck, looks, or being naturally charismatic. It’s about understanding how the game is played — and once you know that, you can win.
This e-book isn’t some feel-good pep talk. It’s a remedy. A step-by-step guide to owning any room, building unshakable confidence, and turning social anxiety into pure presence. I’ve broken down the mechanics of influence into a formula that works, no matter who you are or where you’re starting from. You just have to put it to practice.
What You’ll Get:
Master the Art of Presence: Walk into any room and instantly be recognized as someone who matters.
Break Free from Self-Doubt: Silence that inner critic and project unshakable confidence.
Shape Social Dynamics: Steer conversations and interactions to create meaningful connections.
Claim Your Space: Whether at work, in friendships, or at events, position yourself as a natural leader.
Whether you’re sick of being overlooked, tired of feeling out of place, or ready to finally take control of your narrative, The Algorithm of Power hands you the keys to social mastery.
You don’t need to change who you are — you need to realize the power you’ve had all along. Let’s unlock it.

Taj's Sabbatical: Book One, Sol System Enforcer Chronicles
Taj's Sabbatical:
Book One, Sol System Enforcer Chronicles
Taj was looking forward to his two-year sabbatical from the Sol System Enforcers. At the young age of 62, he was hoping for another 50 years as an Enforcer, but right now, he needed time off. Taj, and his partner Taddy, were planning travel to Festival City in the Asteroid Belt.
But, evil never rests. As Taj prepared for a peaceful retreat, his enemies had a different plan. Someone very powerful wanted Taj dead and wasn't afraid to target his family to prove their point. All Taj knew was that he must present himself in Armstrong City of Luna in a single day, or Taddy would die on the Carousel.
Taj's family all spring into action to rescue Taddy and prevent Taj from sacrificing himself. By Taj's side were Sammy and the Twins, three of the best military class synthetics found in the Sol System and fellow Enforcers ready to fight. Together with Taj's dead father Fencer, who recently transferred his consciousness into the ARK, his mother Dyani and younger brother Jayce they battle time and powerful enemies in order to survive.
Review
The importance of family cannot be overemphasized. Most people can go to any length, even in the face of deadly odds, to protect their families. Taj's Sabbatical by Artell Smith and Troy Smith is a sci-fi and suspense thriller that tells the story of dedication to family and sacrifice above everything.
Taj, a 62-year-old enforcer, was enjoying his sabbatical when he got a message that his partner, Taddy, had been captured by Fayzaan, the evil and sadistic Crown Prince, who was hellbent on revenge. His only option was to surrender himself to save Taddy's life. Taj contacted his parents and brother, who swung into action. With the help of other enforcers and very skilled synthetics, they embarked on a dangerous journey to save Taddy and Taj.
I totally enjoyed the book. I particularly loved the fact that it was set in the future, with very amazing technological advancements and innovations. These innovations were at first difficult to grasp, but they were well described, which made them easy to envision. I also loved the bond between the family members and the core values, such as sacrifice and love, shown by the members of the family. Equally noteworthy was the sacrifice, bravery, and grit displayed by the other enforcers and synthetics, which was very heroic and commendable. The terms in the book were well described and explained, making it very easy to understand and enjoy the story. I totally loved the story.
I did not dislike anything about the book. Although I found a few terminologies a little hard to understand, they were adequately explained. There was a beautiful balance between action and emotion, which made the book way more interesting. The author's writing style was very refreshing, with very interesting innovations and technological advancements. I really enjoyed the book.
I rate this book five out of five stars for its intriguing and suspense-filled story. The book was expertly edited, and I found no grammatical errors while reading it. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for lovers of sci-fi books with intriguing technological innovations. I also highly recommend this book for individuals looking for a beautiful suspense-filled thriller novel. This book will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. -OnlineBookClub
