The dramatic conclusion to the epic Portal to the Gods Trilogy. Dartain's group treks across firey Xenos in their quest to bring Tiberius back from the dead. But they are lost, dehydrated, and starving deep in enemy territory. All hope is quickly dwindling as they question even their own survival. The reeling human armies finally gain some momentum, but they might be too late. The nether-spawn armies are massive and even the combined might of the humans, elves, and others might not be enough to confront them. When Athol Myr is breached, Griff is forced to make a desperate last stand at the very threshold of the Portal to the Gods with the world's continued existence teetering upon the outcome.

It's been a decade since the first ultra-enhanced human beings were forced to abandon covert military operations. Advancing public technology and new government legislation made continuing to operate in secrecy untenable, and so they mainstreamed, becoming the world's first superhero group - the Order of Champions. They are the ten mightiest individuals on the planet - beloved by the masses and feared by their enemies. And their world is falling apart. The superheroes have become complacent - secure in their own sense of invincibility. They are arrogant and alone and increasingly rocked by scandal. They have grown wealthy in their new role and stagnant from being restrained on a leash against what they were created to do. They are gods among men, but must suffer being kept like pets. That is, until their most powerful member is unexpectedly murdered by an unknown assassin. The shocked heroes suddenly find themselves aligned against a new adversary - a supervillain. And the massive secret hiding behind this new threat will forever alter the world.

This book describes a novel approach to scientific research that uses unstructured data analysis as a generative tool for new hypotheses. The author develops a systematic process for leveraging heterogeneous structured and unstructured data sources, data mining, and computational architectures to make the discovery process faster and more effective. This process accelerates human creativity by allowing scientists and inventors to more readily analyze and comprehend the space of possibilities, compare alternatives, and discover entirely new approaches.
