      Wagner and Cousens demonstrate a tachyon theory that unveils the delicate weave of Spirit, kundalini, health, physics, and biology as a subtle dance out of traditional healing. This book explains, in the authors' persuasive words and case studies, the breakthrough holistic healing technology called Tachyon energy. Benefits include a more rapid healing and at least a partial reversal of the aging process. They have successfully merged concepts of science and spirituality, as they bridge the faster than light world of existence with our slower than light world of form. The reader of this book will understand profoundly how tachyon energy is the source of all frequencies as well as the source of all healing.

But before the sun sets on Rick's first full day in Volterra, a gallery employee dies in a brutal fall from a high cliff. The local Commissario and his team consider Rick an amateur, and worse, a foreigner. And now they suspect him of foul play. Has Rick's undercover role made him a target in more ways than one?"--

      "Translator Rick Montoya is looking forward to a quiet weekend away in beautiful Urbino with his girlfriend, Betta, an art fraud investigator for the Italian Culture Ministry. While Betta does have official business-namely, collecting a priceless Piero drawing from a wealthy Spanish collector-she asks Rick to join her "in case she needs an interpreter," but with other, less-official intentions in mind. When the Spaniard is found murdered and the drawing stolen, Betta must shift back into art cop mode, and Rick's official services are required after all. Will this lovers' getaway literally be to die for?"--
