The year is 2050. Sea levels have been rising for nearly half a century. Parts of San Diego are underwater and Point Loma is an Island. For Adam McBride, ten years old, its always been like this. Some miraculous technology still exists, but most of the infra-structure of the country is in shambles. History always presents us with surprises. To compound the difficulties of normal life under these conditions a new sexually transmitted disease, MS Mule Syndrome, has begun to ravage the world. Populations are falling precipitously. Adam becomes embroiled in local calamities and is finally to be taken by air to CDC in Atlanta to be trained to combat the disease. He never gets there. The pilot of the airship, an Indian resident of an island in the sky, Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico, is forced by weather to land in Albuquerque. Adam takes up life in the pueblo for several years and absorbs enough of the culture to get a glimmer of a solution to the problems of Point Loma and perhaps the rest of the world. The mystery of the survival of the Anasazi in the pueblos of the Southwest holds the key.

"Take one inventive genius indebted to the friend who saved his life; add an English aristocrat hopelessly consumed with a selfish and spiritually bankrupt woman; stir together with a Faustian pact to create the perfect woman--and voilà! Tomorrow's Eve is served. Robert Martin Adams's graceful translation is the first to bring to English readers this captivating fable of a Thomas Edison-like inventor and his creation, the radiant and tragic android Hadaly. Adams's introduction sketches the uncompromising idealism of the proud but penurious aristocrat Jean Marie Mathias Philippe Auguste, Count Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, a friend and admired colleague of Charles Baudelaire, Stèphane Mallarmé, and Richard Wagner. Villiers dazzles us with a gallery of electronic wonders while unsettling us with the implications of his (and our) increasingly mechanized and mechanical society. A witty and acerbic tale in which human nature, spiritual values, and scientific possibilities collide, Tomorrow's Eve retains an enduring freshness and edge." --Descripción del editor.

In Adam’s Gift, author Cindy Williams Adams shares the story of the death of her twenty-seven-year-old son, Adam, and her subsequent spiritual journey. Hi! I’m Adam, and I’m dead. Well, not really. I’m still here ... “The first night in the hospital, while Adam was on life support, around midnight, a nurse advised me to go home and get some rest. I looked at Adam’s monitor. His heart rate was 180, a normal heart rate for an infant. At that point, his vital signs were nominal. I said I’d go home when Adam’s heart rate reached 111. Greg and I sat in the dark, listening to the beep-beep of Adam’s monitor. A few minutes later, Greg said, “Look at the monitor.” Adam’s heart rate was 111. My youngest sister, Rhonda, and I clipped some locks of Adam’s dark brown hair as a keepsake. I was sitting at the head of his bed examining our handiwork when I heard Adam say jokingly, “Mom, what the fuck did you do to my hair?” In that pivotal moment, if I’d talked myself out of believing what I’d just experienced, I would have grieved Adam’s death in an entirely different way. Trusting the communication from Adam was real not only allowed me to accept the loss of Adam’s physical presence, it allowed me to create an entirely new relationship with the part of Adam that is eternal. Adam’s lungs, kidneys, pancreas, and liver saved the lives of two individuals and significantly improved the lives of three others. Adam’s liver went to a young mother from Indiana, where I was born. Adam’s pancreas went to a woman with diabetes who’ll never have to suffer another amputation. Adam’s kidneys went to a woman from somewhere in California and to a man in Oakland who no longer plan their life around the need for dialysis. Adam’s lungs went to a seventy-two-year-old man from Arizona.” From January 2011 to February 2023, Adam led me on a twelve-year-long wild goose chase where I collected seemingly random puzzle pieces that when presented altogether, finally make sense. From a past life as a knowledge keeper in Atlantis to serving as an intergalactic guardian, Adam’s mind-blowing after-death adventures will change everything you thought you knew about life and death and the world as we know it. Don’t let your skin suit fool you into thinking you’re anything less than a co-creator with God. We don’t have to die to evolve to a higher level of consciousness. When it comes to consciousness-raising, Adam and I are giving away the cheats. Adam’s Gift is more than a memoir, it’s a multidimensional multimedia experience. Brace yourself, you’re in for an e-ticket ride. Adams’ debut memoir is an effectively concise account of a mother navigating her own grief while also finding ways to help others heal. Adams vividly renders her story of her life’s journey, and her sense of exuberance is evident throughout... — Kirkus review The story of Adam and the special bond he shares with his mom gives those hope who question an afterlife. —Dannion Brinkley, internationally bestselling author of Saved by the Light, At Peace in the Light, and Secrets of the Light You don’t have to have experienced loss to love Adam’s Gift.
