Book excerpt: Colony Earth is Book 1 of the Alterran Legacy Series In ancient human history, an explosion of knowledge of agriculture, building, and steel weapons occurred suddenly, without explanation, and the human population prospered and grew into civilization. According to clay tablets found at ancient cities of Sumeria, the cities were founded by "those who came from the skies," who dwelt there and gave knowledge to the citizens. The tablets reveal that "those who came from the skies" had lived on Earth far longer than the age of Sumeria. The principal leaders of "those who came from the skies" were half-brothers Enlil and Enki, who reported to their father, Anu, who ruled on their home world. The beginning books of this series serve as a prequel to the decision of this race to take an active interest in managing the development of humankind, and imagines why an advanced, technological society could have been governed by a small ruling family, while weaving in ancient mythology and recent geological discoveries.

Book excerpt: Humanity pushed its way to the stars - and encountered the Gbaba, a ruthless alien race that nearly wiped us out. Earth and her colonies are now smoldering ruins, and the few survivors have fled to distant, Earth-like Safehold, to try to rebuild. But the Gbaba can detect the emissions of an industrial civilization, so the human rulers of Safehold have taken extraordinary measures: with mind control and hidden high technology, they've built a religion in which every Safeholdian believes, a religion designed to keep Safehold society medieval forever. 800 years pass. In a hidden chamber on Safehold, an android from the far human past awakens. This "rebirth" was set in motion centuries before, by a faction that opposed shackling humanity with a concocted religion. Via automated recordings, "Nimue" - or, rather, the android with the memories of Lieutenant Commander Nimue Alban - is told her fate: she will emerge into Safeholdian society, suitably disguised, and begin the process of provoking the technological progress which the Church of God Awaiting has worked for centuries to prevent. Nothing about this will be easy. To better deal with a medieval society, "Nimue" takes a new gender and a new name, "Merlin." His formidable powers and access to caches of hidden high technology will need to be carefully concealed. And he'll need to find a base of operations, a Safeholdian country that's just a little more freewheeling, a little less orthodox, a little more open to the new. And thus Merlin comes to Charis, a mid-sized kingdom with a talent for naval warfare. He plans to make the acquaintance of King Haarahld and Crown Prince Cayleb, and maybe, just maybe, kick off a new era of invention. Which is bound to draw the attention of the Church...and, inevitably, lead to war. It's going to be a long, long process. And David Weber's epic Off Armageddon Reef is can't-miss sci-fi.

Download or read book Colony Earth Ancient Aliens and the Origins of Man written by Richard Mooney and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A shattering new perspective on human history...This is the book that proves Erich von Daniken wrong. "Colony: Earth" shows that ancient astronauts came and STAYED. Earth was colonized by beings from another universe.For millennia, man has tried to remember where he came from. "God created him," said the theologians. "He evolved from other forms of life," said the scientists. In any case, they agreed, man was native to Earth.Not necessarily, says author Richard E. Mooney. Evidence from both scientific research and mythology - the "memory" of the human race - suggests another origin. True humans may have appeared on the earth thousands of years ago, clothed, equipped with weapons and technology, and with intelligence equal or superior to that of man today. "Colony: Earth" demonstrates the author's contention that religion, far from being at odds with science, may itself be a vague and distorted memory of things once known - things we are now beginning to rediscover through science.Like Immanuel Velikovsky's "Worlds in Collision" and "The Morning of the Magicians" by Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier, "Colony: Earth" will infuriate the dogmatic, engage the skeptic, and delight the open-minded."For those readers impatient with the gaps in traditional science and theology, dissatisfied with both divine creation and evolutionary theory, Richard Mooney offers a radical hypothesis..." -Publishers Weekly

Download or read book The Wretched of the Earth written by Frantz Fanon and published by Penguin Modern Classics. This book was released on 2001 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frantz Fanon's seminal work on the trauma of colonization, The Wretched of the Earth made him the leading anti-colonialist thinker of the twentieth century. This Penguin Modern Classics edition is translated from the French by Constance Farrington, with an introduction by Jean-Paul Sartre. Written at the height of the Algerian war for independence from French colonial rule and first published in 1961, Frantz Fanon's classic text has provided inspiration for anti-colonial movements ever since, analysing the role of class, race, national culture and violence in the struggle for freedom. With power and anger, Fanon makes clear the economic and psychological degradation inflicted by imperialism. It was Fanon, himself a psychotherapist, who exposed the connection between colonial war and mental disease, who showed how the fight for freedom must be combined with building a national culture, and who showed the way ahead, through revolutionary violence, to socialism. Many of the great calls to arms from the era of decolonization are now of purely historical interest, yet this passionate analysis of the relations between the great powers and the 'Third World' is just as illuminating about the world we live in today. Frantz Fanon (1925-61) was a Martinique-born French author essayist, psychoanalyst, and revolutionary. Fanon was a supporter of the Algerian struggle for independence from French rule, and became a member of the Algerian National Liberation Front. He was perhaps the preeminent thinker of the 20th century on the issue of decolonization and the psychopathology of colonization. His works have inspired anti-colonial liberation movements for more than four decades.

Download or read book The Moon Colony written by William Dixon Bell and published by The Goldsmith Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-02-19 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Example in this ebook CHAPTER I - Bullet Proof Julian Epworth reasoned that his departure from Salt Lake City was a profound secret. The fact that an airship carrying gold was on the way to Los Angeles convoyed by armed airplanes had been kept inside of the office. Because of this Epworth thought that he had an easy job. “What’s the big idea about all this fancy maneuvering?” Billy Sand inquired curiously as Epworth gave the order to close up a little on the other nine planes flying in a straight line ahead in military formation. “You are acting as if there is a war on, and if we were trying to hatch a machine gun nest.” “Now that we are up in the air, and there is no chance of a leak I will explain. The twin red and green lights that you see ahead are on one of our airplanes carrying a gold shipment consigned to the mint. Recently a plane similarly loaded disappeared, and our company lost a million dollars. We do not propose that such a steal shall be repeated.” “A million! And this crate ahead is carrying that much?” “It is carrying two million. But,” Epworth’s lips twisted determinedly, “I do not think that an air pirate will be able to get away with it—not as long as these ten little babies can shoot.” Julian Epworth was the head of the secret service of the Atlantic-Pacific Airlines, Inc., and he imagined that his plans had been extremely well laid. Billy glanced up at the clear sky, picked up the signals, and, in obedience to Epworth’s command, closed in on the four planes flying on the left of the large passenger ship in the lead. A ship launched secretly into the air in the dead of night, and picked up on the desert by an escort of ten planes, should certainly be safe from a robber. “Not a chance in a million that we will be stopped,” he remarked thoughtfully. “Look at the moon and the stars! We could see a plane ten miles away, and get it long before it could get in shooting distance.” Feeling in a good humor and perfectly safe, Epworth tuned in on the radio—just loud enough to bring the news of the world to them, and not loud enough to give a warning to any other flyer in the sky that might be secretly approaching. Suddenly Billy leaned toward his companion excitedly, and caught his arm. “Did you hear that? I am speaking about that noise that is coming over the radio.” “Of course I heard it.” The radio was saying: “This is Clarence Ainslee, astronomical observer at Mount Wilson Observatory. Are you looking at the moon? If not, get a large telescope and look at the extreme western extremity of the Sea of Vapours. You will see something you never saw before. There is a lake or sea forming there. At least that is the judgment of astronomers.” “What do you think about it?” Billy asked. “Horse radish.” Both aviators looked toward the bright shining full moon. “But,” Epworth remarked, “we could not tell anything with our naked eyes.” “In addition to the appearance of a new lake,” the radio continued, “vegetation is appearing not far from the eastern border of the water. The mystery of this is now puzzling the scientific world.” “Let them puzzle,” Epworth muttered as he switched the radio dial. “I should worry.” “This is the news report from the morning Blade,” they heard the radio say. “Station WGCF. The report has just come in that twenty masked men, all of whom spoke a foreign tongue, have robbed the Swift & Co. laboratory. They lined up the seventy chemists and their assistants, and while the gunmen held them and their helpers the bandits looted the plant. Thousands of dollars in liquid air, saltpeter, and chemicals were carried off in two enormous airplanes, dim shadowy things that stretched out two thousand feet in length.” “Some little airplane. I’d like to see it!” “Airplane?” Billy snorted indignantly. “They are using dirigibles of course.” “What do you suppose they wanted with all that nitrogen and fertilizer?” “Couldn’t guess in a million years.” To be continue in this ebook

Book excerpt: In the safety of their dome, the colonists on Proxima B would create a perfect society-at least that was the plan designed by SECA, the Space Exploration and Colonization Administration. The scientists and administrators at SECA had carefully arranged everything: the dome that could accommodate the colony as it grew, the selection of the two hundred young men and women chosen for their diverse areas of expertise, and of course the technology that would allow the people of Earth to view the "colony experience" as the colonists became acquainted with each other and their new world. The viewing public could hardly wait for this. That was the plan, but unknown to everyone, the frozen planet was home to forces that would disrupt this plan and require the colonists to face physical and emotional tests that they never expected.
