LANCASTER, Calif., Feb. 6, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- To a different, yet fascinating world is where author William Brown is taking his reader in his book, The Cloud, a must-read volume that contains a pure mix of adventure, mystery, and science.

Reading The Cloud gives a person an understanding of the history of astronomy and related science. It is an engaging read with the conflict created by the advent of new scientific discoveries. The author provides a fascinating account of discoveries that will surely take you on the edge of your seat.

William Brown presented this book in an effort to include the masses in understanding our universe as well as other scientific disciplines. The best part includes the enthusiastic blend of a great storyline while presenting the beauty of our world and science.

``A planet far away across the universe is totally destroyed by a series of asteroids. The planet was destroyed in cataclysm of flame but much of the detritus that remained form a huge cloud that was soon making its own way through the stars. The inhabitants of the planet had long anticipated this event and had fled into space to search for a new home. Their technology was such that it would have been possible to save the planet but it had not been deemed worthwhile. The planet had been mined of all its useful raw materials and its atmosphere was grossly polluted. They had conquered space travel years before so they had taken to space in search of a new home...''

The Combined Book Exhibits (CBE) display books of almost every subject, genre or classification and from large, small or independent publishers at national and international book shows and expos. The Cloud will feature in the 2009 BookExpo America New Title Showcase, part of the partnership between CBE and Reed Exhibitions. BookExpo America will take place once more at the Jacob Javit Center's Crystal Palace Lobby in New York, NY, on May 28-31, 2009.
