Download or read book Alien Escape written by David Wilson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-10 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS fantasy tale puts forward a possible origin for demonic images and looks at how centuries of superstition can affect human thinking. Alien Escape sets out to show how appearances can be deceptive — just as in real life. Influenced by the culture of his time, 12th century English serf Jon Oakeley clings to the belief that the hideous creature that suddenly confronts him one night is a demon. The Devil’s messenger, so he believes, turns out to be his means of escape from a life of oppression. The repulsive being is in fact an alien Keluron who proves to be a helpful character — a genuine guardian angel armed with a lumatron. But having made his getaway from serfdom, Jon finds himself incarcerated with the alien in a sinister underground domain inhabited by unearthly beings and a giant alchemist. The search for a way out leads Jon into a clash between good and evil in which he has much more to fear than the alien. Alchemy plays a vital role in the outcome. Alien Escape also offers a message — that however dark and difficult things appear, the weary traveller on life’s road must hold fast to the hope of better times.

Book excerpt: Paul and his companions must save Europe from the brink of catastrophe—the final installment in a “one-of-a-kind series” that reads like “if you put Breaking Bad and Reddit in a blender” (Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi Blog) America has long sent its best SMASH agents overseas to deal with the European crisis. As of today, they decided dismantling your operation was more important than containing the Bastogne Broach. Now, you’re dealing with the real professionals: Paul Tsabo: Bureaucromancer.

This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Financial Times Best Science Book of 2023 • A Science News Favorite Book of 2023 • A Scientific American 2023 Staff Recommendation "The next-best thing to traveling through space and time." —Laura Helmuth, editor in chief of Scientific American A rip-roaring tour of the cosmos with the Bad Astronomer, bringing you up close and personal with the universe like never before. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel the universe? How would Saturn’s rings look from a spaceship sailing just above them? If you were falling into a black hole, what’s the last thing you’d see before getting spaghettified? While traveling in person to most of these amazing worlds may not be possible—yet—the would-be space traveler need not despair: you can still take the scenic route through the galaxy with renowned astronomer and science communicator Philip Plait. On this lively, immersive adventure through the cosmos, Plait draws ingeniously on both the latest scientific research and his prodigious imagination to transport you to ten of the most spectacular sights outer space has to offer. In vivid, inventive scenes informed by rigorous science—injected with a dose of Plait’s trademark humor—Under Alien Skies places you on the surface of alien worlds, from our own familiar Moon to the far reaches of our solar system and beyond. Try launching yourself onto a two-hundred-meter asteroid, or stargazing from the rim of an ancient volcano on a planet where, from the place you stand, it is eternally late afternoon. Experience the sudden onset of lunar nightfall, the disorientation of walking—or, rather, shuffling—when you weigh almost nothing, the irritation of jagged regolith dust. Glimpse the frigid mountains and plains of Pluto and the cake-like exterior of a comet called 67P. On a planet trillions of miles from Earth, glance down to see the strange, beautiful shadows cast by a hundred thousand stars. For the aspiring extraterrestrial citizen, casual space tourist, or curious armchair traveler, Plait is an illuminating, always-entertaining guide to the most otherworldly views in our universe.

Download or read book Alien Sky written by Daniel Arenson and published by Moonclipse. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Singularity. The day the machines gained awareness. The day they turned cruel. The day they overthrew their makers. In a distant star system, a planet-sized computer unleashes its hosts: fleets of warships, armies of robots, and a swarm of killer drones. Their purpose is one: destroy all life. As the cosmos crumbles, one team steps up to the plate: The Alien Hunters. The Alien Hunters are galactic pest controllers, not an army. Their spaceship is old and clunky. They specialize in crushing the odd space bug, not a fleet of vicious machines. They're a rolled-up newspaper when the cosmos needs an A-bomb. But they're fast, they're brave, and they're just foolhardy enough to charge right into battle. As the robots spread across the galaxy, slaying all in their path, the Alien Hunters fly out to meet them. The war between life and machine begins.

Book excerpt: While the Earth quelled the violence after the alien invasion, teams of engineers went to the moon to create ships capable of fighting back. After they cleared the dead, the Lunar Colony reopened as a technology hub to mine asteroids for materials to turn into starships. Calliope Morrigan arrived on the moon, completing designs for a ship. The military hated her small ship and backed Mattias, an engineer promising a ship so large it would require fusion reactors, a technology still beyond their reach. Arn Lasserman, head of nuclear engineering, allied with Calliope to create a stronger ship with engines he designed, cementing the enmity of her rivals. The violence against Calliope escalates as her ship nears completion. Rivals for control of resources, cluster time, and engines escalate as satellites range farther out into the solar system for metals to build their ships. A nest of aliens is discovered close enough to attack without warning. The pressure ramps as humanity’s ability to survive hangs in the balance. Calliope must find ways to make crucial alliances to survive. She pushes technology to its limits, but can she propel her humanity forward in time to fight the aliens?
