Download or read book Blindsight written by Peter Watts and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2006-10-03 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book excerpt: When Eric Johnson moved from Philadelphia a year ago, he didn't have any friends in the Lehigh Valley. Now he had a lot of them, just not the usual sort for a twelve-year old boy. Aside from Tommy Kuhns and Stephanie Fuller-two young children his own age—Eric's house was often visited by Norse Gods, Rock Dwarves, Valkyr, and unfortunately the occasional Frost Giant. And most teens weren't caught up in a war that crossed multiple dimensions. Now the Frost Giants were trying to get access to Enigma Caverns and the Lost River, so they could continue their battle against the Aesir. Eric, Tommy and Stephanie had to find out why the Giants really wanted the Lost River and stop the Giants from taking control of Enigma Caverns. Then Eric is thrown into the Lost River and disappears, and things really get strange! The Giants are looking for a way back to their home dimension and they believe Eric knows the way home, or at least how to find the way home. So they kidnap Eric’s aunt and demand an exchange: the knowledge for his aunt. But Eric has two secret weapons on his side: the ancient battle computer known as MMR and a creation of the Giants’ own laboratories—a giant dragon called Fornir.
