Milden, the face of the establishment, is obsessed with Katelle the poet rebel and grows impatient for an excuse to remove Artim, her lover. The story of an old soldier curses as much as it enlightens and a broken god leashed to Milden watches everything. A space village in a generation ship allows no escape. If Artim and Katelle spark a revolt there can be no retreat.

Everything is in the palms of your hands, in them hides your past, present and future. The ancient art of interpreting the symbols of the hands is known as Palmistry, and has been present in our civilization since ancient times. Palmistry has been essential in several cultures, and has defined the destiny of many. The hands have symbolized strength and power and are a miniature representation of human destiny. All the lines in the palms of the hands have meanings, truths about the past, present and future. The shape and markings of a hand reveal a person's character and tendencies. Fingerprints are unique and are a method of personal identification. The signs and lines engraved on the hand are unique, you will never find two lines of life, nor two identical Mountains. Our hands are different from those of our fellow human beings and this means that our destiny is carved into the palms of our hands, and will always be different from that of any other human being.

This book is designed to convince the healthy and scientific-minded sceptic that hand analysis is a science worthy of serious consideration. The laws of scientific hand analysis are presented here in a very simple manner, and are amply illustrated by diagrams. This book is also intended for those who do not have the faintest concept of what hand analysis or astrology is all about, so that no previous knowledge is required for its understanding. At the same time the subject of hand analysis has been comprehensively emphasized. As such this book will be of interest to professional astrologers. In many Eastern countries leading astrologers have a good knowledge of hand analysis. Where the horoscope does not give clear guidance on a particular aspect, they consult the palms in order to obtain clarification. The ideas put forward in this book are based on the Indian, Western and Egyptian schools of hand analysis, although the Indian system has been used the most. The scientific rationale be-hind the wearing of particular gems in order to ward off evil planetary influences is also succinctly described. Above all, this is meant to be an eminently straightforward and practical work. The sceptic has only to study his own palms to be pleasantly surprised at how accurately hand analysis reveals his own particular case.

Use the ancient Indian art of Vedic palmistry as a guide to self-understanding and the creation of your destiny. • Learn to influence your future to bring forth the best qualities of heart, mind, and soul. • Read a record of the past, a print of the present, and guidance for the future in the ever changing interplay of lines. • Become aware of your innate tendencies and personality type from the lines in your palms. One's destiny isn't carved in stone. Rather than predicting a set future, Vedic palmistry shows us how to take active steps to influence and improve our destinies once we have gained better self-understanding. Using dozens of illustrations and examples of actual palm prints, Birla demonstrates how our less dominant hand reflects all that we have inherited from the past--old behavior patterns, thoughts, desires, and attitudes--while our dominant hand (the hand we write with) reflects our resolve to change for the better. By comparing both hands we gain an understanding of where we are coming from and where we are headed. As we make positive changes in our lives, the lines on our palms will actually change to reflect our progress.

In this book, the first of a quadrilogy, the author discusses Holistic Palmistry, which teaches us to investigate the surface of the palm, enabling us to recognize the entirety in which a person’s becoming is placed. This helps us make decisions and alter our destiny. Unlike Chiromancy, which interprets destiny as inevitable, Holistic Palmistry believes destiny is in our hands because the signs of existence are drawn and imprinted on them in a continuous exchange and transformation. Thus, the hands ‘speak’ to those who know how to read and listen to them. This text presents theoretical suggestions and reflections with simple historical and philosophical indications but mainly guides us through the main points and methods for reading hands. This offers everyone new possibilities and knowledge.
