Introduction to Laser Physics is intended to be a "user-friendly" presentation on laser theory. The primary goal in developing this material was to make the mechanisms behind lasing accessible to as wide an audience as possible, ranging from those with no prior exposure to Quantum Physics, to those with some grasp of the subject. To that end, the material has been structured with the more basic concepts and analogous examples at the outset. These basics are then refined as the material progresses, which includes a brief overview of laser applications in fiber optics. More advanced theoretical material is also included in the appendices, for those seeking additional insights and a greater depth. Hopefully most readers will find this more "user friendly" approach helpful, allowing each individual to explore the various aspects of lasers to whatever depth suits them.

Somewhere North of London, a clueless janitor tries his hand at breaking into the netherworld of the modern pulp fiction industry. Prone to perpetual daydreaming and lost in delusions of grandeur, this would-be author pounds out reams of melodramatic drivel, shaped by the formulaic style of his quintessential washed-up agent from hell. Yet despite his best efforts, the only organizations interested in his "gift", turn out to be a number of very... "clandestine" groups who aren't exactly focused on publishing manuscripts. Of these groups however, one is completely unlike any other organization on the planet. During a few "cat and mouse" games, this one unique team begins to attract some unwanted attention of its own. As it is about to be exposed however, it simply erases events from the memory of everyone - save one man... as things suddenly begin slipping sideways across tangents in time. Through it all, this lone odd-man-out finds the world is... not quite what he thought it was.

Civilizations rise, and they fall, often by their own hand. Ours, is no different... And this is how it happened. Living near a small town in Iowa, a young farm boy named Josh Peterson finds his life rocked by a series of reoccurring dreams. Considering them to be little more than the product of an overactive imagination, Josh finds himself jolted from reality one day as two figures suddenly emerge from these dreams in an effort to save his life. As the years pass, this event comes to shape Josh's life, preparing him for a crisis far beyond anything he had ever thought possible. In a world growing more dysfunctional with each passing year, he watches as greed and political corruption push civilization to the lip of an abyss, drawing him into the heart of this sweeping crisis. As things devolve to the point of no return, Josh discovers the men from his dreams are but messengers for something far beyond us which had anticipated this culminating event in all its misery, eons before the advent of modern man.
