Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 21st century, by the old chronology, planet Terra went through radical changes that caused the landmass and the oceans to merge and realign into a new geography. Before that started, over half of the global population was rescued by an alien fleet sent by the Ashtar Space Command of the Galactic Council of the Milky Way. This event is known in the history of New Terra as "The Ascension''. Many people didn't live through it. Others were taken by spaceships of Repton - a political and military alliance of Reptilians and humans under the rule of the Draconian Empire. Repton captured the survivors left on this Earth and displaced them to distant planets that would serve as hard labor colonies. The enslaved people are called Thsch-ows - 'those-who-were-taken'... Now we're in the year 64 NCPA - New Chronology in the Post-Ascension Era. Terra has joined the Galactic Council as an equal member and Terrans are a starfaring civilization. Not all Terrans. The former citizens, the Thsch-ows, seem to have been forsaken by their fellow humans, until the day when the first ex-Terran Thsch-ows, a miner named Vis N 91, 077 escapes slavery and returns to his planet of origin. He goes beyond frontiers, crosses the galaxy and meets new friends - Terrans and aliens; aboard their ships, he tours worlds. Spacetime traveling is now available to Vis and he becomes a well-trained chronotraveler. From the Moon to the Earth, from the future to the past and back again, Vis discovers his native world anew. When he realizes that, in order to save his own future he has to change everyone's past, he sets out on a personal journey in an attempt to alter the course of history. Will he succeed? Or will he make the same mistake that others made before?

All three are dealing with the loss differently...Kenji remains stolid and quiet, Hiro is dark, brooding and not very communicative, and Aki remains optimistic.Aki's deeper issue is the Amida Syndrome, which she inherited from her mother. Aki has the ability to time travel but has no training or experience in using it. Furthermore, Aki is beset by terrifying nightmares, including one in which she continues to hear a strange metallic sound. A breakdown of the family truck leads to the incident that changes their lives forever. From the house comes that very sound. An investigation leads them to Kazu, an aging former blues musician. He agrees to teach Hiro guitar and becomes a mentor to Aki. Kazu also is a traveler, and proves it by whisking them all to San Francisco of the 1960s, and infusing all of them with the blues, the music that so took him. Aki decides to test her powers. A series of misadventure follows, as Aki brings her brothers to the Mississippi Delta of the 30s, London of the 60s, and pre-9/11 New York City, where they meet a legend who died before anyone knew his name. Aki gains further understanding of her powers, and also discovers her own "voice."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “often riotous, ultimately moving Cat’s Cradle for our time,” a Texas couple prepares for the apocalypse (Kirkus Reviews). In Austin, Milton and Rica are expecting their first child. It’s four days and counting. Not for the baby. But for the end of the world. Evidence: Haydon Brock, a godless television star has suddenly traded his Hollywood fame for salvation. A prophetic hermit crab is embarking on an unfathomable cross-country quest. Planes are dropping from the sky. And the president and first lady disappear. No omen is too inexplicable to Milton. He’s learned for a fact that our planet is one vast asylum for the incurably insane. And its cosmic guardians are about to close down the whole damn thing. Then Milton receives one more premonition: to seek out Haydon now holed up somewhere in Marfa. To what end Milton hasn’t a clue. To find out, Milton, Rica, and their best friend head west across an increasingly cataclysmic landscape of inter-dimensional time travelers, Jesus clones, sleep-deprived monks, ghosts, and angels in an epic and manic quest to outrun the last days on Earth. Combining humor, philosophical inquiry and an unforgettable cast of characters, “this sharp-witted satire” (Booklist) “is a future classic, and people will be reading [it] decades from now.

First published more than fifty years ago, Pierre Boulle’s chilling novel launched one of the greatest science fiction sagas in motion picture history. In the not-too-distant future, three astronauts land on what appears to be a planet just like Earth, with lush forests, a temperate climate, and breathable air. But while it appears to be a paradise, nothing is what it seems. They soon discover the terrifying truth: On this world humans are savage beasts, and apes rule as their civilized masters. In an ironic novel of nonstop action and breathless intrigue, one man struggles to unlock the secret of a terrifying civilization, all the while wondering: Will he become the savior of the human race, or the final witness to its damnation?

Download or read book The Sterkarm Handshake written by Susan Price and published by Open Road Media Science & Fantasy. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A twenty-first-century corporation invades the domain of a warlike sixteenth-century Scottish clan in this "brilliantly imagined" time-travel adventure (Philip Pullman). The miraculous invention of a Time Tube has given Great Britain's mighty FUP corporation unprecedented power, granting it unlimited access to the rich natural resources of the past. Opening a portal into sixteenth-century Scotland, the company has sent representatives back five hundred years to deal with the Sterkarms, a lawless barbarian clan that has plundered both sides of the English-Scottish border for generations. Among the first of the company's representatives to arrive from the future, young anthropologist Andrea Mitchell finds herself strangely drawn to this primitive tribe of raiders and pillagers who, not surprisingly, view her as magical. As translator and liaison, she becomes enmeshed in the personal lives of these proud, savage folk, developing an especially strong emotional bond with Per, the handsome son of the ruthless Sterkarm chieftain, Toorkild. But the Sterkarms' welcome does not extend to the FUP corporate despoilers from the future--and soon a fragile agreement between the untamable Scots and the interloping "Elves" begins to crumble. Suddenly war looms on the horizon, and when treachery on both sides ignites a firestorm of violence, Andrea will have to choose where her loyalties truly lie: with her coldhearted employers or with the barbarous kinfolk of the man she has come to love. A winner of the Guardian Fiction Prize and a finalist for the Carnegie Medal, called "enthralling" by Philip Pullman, the author of the His Dark Materials novels, Susan Price's Sterkarm Handshake is a masterful blend of historical and science fiction critics have called "dazzling," "exciting," "memorable," "thought provoking," and "a thumping good page-turner."
