On the verge of retirement from the sport, he is defending his title as champion of the annual orbital race one final time when he's suddenly hurtling away into deep space. Charlie's unscheduled voyage through a wormhole ends with a crash-landing on a most unusual planet, with scores of spacecraft from all corners of the universe in orbit. Seeking help, he heads toward what appears to be civilization, unaware of the horrors waiting for him there... Once inside the great, orb-covered city, Charlie is thrust into intergalactic competition by a bloodthirsty alien race. When he discovers he can use his unique abilities to save not only himself, but the entire galaxy, will he face up to the challenge—or run from it?

Download or read book Alien Invasion written by Travis S. Taylor and published by Baen Publishing Enterprises. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if there really are aliens and they do attack? Read what two scientists reveal in this "how-to" survival manual for the space age. Some events (such as a deliberate asteroid strike) produce such a massive setback to life, the Earth and humanity that we must understand and prepare for them, even if the chances are low that they'll come about. But where to begin? Drs. Travis S. Taylor and Bob Boan are experienced scientists, physicists with expertise in both defense and military signal intelligence and experience working with the Department of Defense and NASA. These two intellectual heavyweights take us on an amazing journey through what we do¾and do not¾know about how to defend ourselves from space. Sure, that day may never come in our lifetimes¾but everyone should have a copy of this lying around just in case. . . .

Download or read book Alien Encounter written by Dirk Schulze-Makuch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-18 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been nearly 100 years since the Apollo moon landings, when Jack and Vladimir, two astronauts on a mission to Venus, discover a mysterious void related to indigenous life on the planet. Subsequently more voids are detected on Earth, Mars, Titan, and, quite ominously, inside a planetoid emerging from the Kuiper belt. Jack is sent to investigate the voids in the Solar System and intercept the planetoid - which, as becomes increasingly clear, is inhabited by alien life forms. Jack and his crew will have little time to understand their alien biochemistry, abilities, behavior patterns, resilience, and technology, but also how these life forms relate to the voids. Humankind's first encounter with these exotic life forms couldn't be more fateful, becoming a race against time to save life on Earth and to reveal the true nature of the voids, which seem to be intrinsically related to life and the universe itself. In this novel, the author combines many topics related to state-of-the-art research in the field of astrobiology with fictional elements to produce a thrilling page turner. This new version significantly develops the astrobiological denouement of the plot and features an extensive non-technical appendix where the underlying science is presented and discussed. From the reviews of the first edition (Voids of Eternity: Alien Encounter) Here's a thrilling yarn in the best "hard SF" tradition of Asimov, James Hogan, and Ben Bova, written by a scientist who knows all about the possibilities of life in the solar system and beyond. Dirk Schulze-Makuch weaves into his book all the astrobiological themes he's worked on in recent years -- speculation about creatures in the atmosphere of Venus and on and under the surface of Mars and Titan -- together with some well-informed Eastern philosophy and a cracking good space battle. A great first novel from a rising talent. Highly recommended. David Darling, on amazon.com, 2009 The research interests of Dr. Schulze-Makuch, currently a professor at Washington State University, focus on evolutionary adaptation strategies of organisms in their natural environment, particularly extreme environments such as found on other planetary bodies. Dirk Schulze-Makuch is best known for his publications on extraterrestrial life, being coauthor of three books on the topic: We Are Not Alone: Why We Have Already Found Extraterrestrial Life (2010), Cosmic Biology: How Life could Evolve on Other Worlds (2010), and Life in the Universe: Expectations and Constraints (2004). In 2011 he published with Paul Davies A One Way Mission to Mars: Colonizing the Red Planet and in 2012 with David Darling Megacatastrophes! Nine Strange Ways the World Could End.

Download or read book The New Science of the Ufo written by Kenneth W. Behrendt and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-05-10 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Science of the UFO now completes author and researcher Kenneth W. Behrendts groundbreaking trilogy on the subject of UFOs. It contains a complete scan of all 24 issues of a previously out of print, privately published, typescript UFO research journal titled Annals of Ufological Research Advances or AURA, for short, which was the basis for his first two volumes, Secrets of UFO Technology and The How and Why of UFOs. Practically every conceivable facet of the UFO enigma was explored in the pages of AURA at a level of scientific detail that was unprecedented in the field of ufology. Those able to obtain some of the limited number of copies of each issue available to the public learned all about such exotic topics as: the sources of the mysterious glows that envelope nocturnal UFOs; why some malfunctioning UFOs must eject liquid metals in order to correct their propulsion system problems; how alien crews tap our earthly electrical power grids to recharge their scout craft; the nature of the mysterious angel hair and devil jelly residues left by hovering craft; how alien paralysis weapons are used for their personal defense and how crews protect their mother ships from attack; how alien telepathy works; how the living space creatures known as zeroids can biologically duplicate UFO capabilities; and much, much more! The material in AURA was intended for the most serious of ufologists seeking ultimate and satisfying answers to the mysteries that they were exploring. Now for the first time in almost two decades, these answers are again available for a new generation of researchers.
