Book excerpt: The two short novels that make up Echoes—8084 BC and 2084 AD—try to offer a synoptic view of our species' most profound changes over ten thousand years: the relationship between its component male and female elements. These prepared fictional contexts—one being Neolithic, about which much is known in anthropological terms; the other being futuristic, about which nothing can really be known—allow for the rapid precipitation of situations that induce radical changes in both men and women.

Each bearing a piece of the sacred light, Corin and Olenka have finally found the power to defend their people. But the demon scourge is spreading fast, and there are few places of refuge left in the endless storm. Very soon, there may be no one left to save amid the breathless hordes of infected. Unless the world can come together. But the stone giants of Shan Zhong are not easily swayed. Now Corin must prove himself to the children of the mountains, a race so ancient that they remember the first yokai calamity… …as well as Vallin’s failure to end it. To the south, Olenka races from the safety of the sacred city to rescue a doomed fleet on a sick sea, but help is hard to come by on the blackened tides of a tainted ocean. Should she place her trust in her own finite strength, or in the bloody hands of pirates who claim noble intent? Either way, the future is filled with the harrowing echoes of the past.

Book excerpt: “A HUMDINGER . . . A MASTERLY TALE TOLD WITH CLARITY AND VERVE.” –The Times (London) The Avatars are immortal and live like kings–even though the empire is dying.

Download or read book The Second Sun written by Kristof Morrow and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-02-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Sun is, above all things, an adventure made animate by hundreds of distinct characters across half a world written to confess through prose and tale our tendencies poisoned by Dickensian bleakness or cruelty, and to wholly ameliorate that cynicism by the light and courage of those who live and labor for a just peace. The story begins with a fae boy named Moo on the island of Cero, understood by all who have heard the name to be a paradise where its residents live for thousands of years, sustained by the power of the fruits grown from the branches of the island's elders. A mist inexplicable even to the elders encircles the island and shields the people from hostile forces by taking the life of any who pass not in the company of a fae. However, a small ship is discovered on the island's shores and a young girl named Yuyu is rescued, astonishingly, alive from her place trapped inside a chest and reveals creatures with buzzing wings murdered the crew that kidnapped her. Her testimony compels a scholar of paradise named Kamo to leave her home aided in her investigation by her friend and master engineer Serkis. The second chapter follows the Odinites on the Raven's Word and their deliverance of ten children captured and sold into slavery. Captain Valara Viktor commands her crew make for the island city of Caradras to locate a translator who can negotiate their return home or their enlistment into Odin's Navy to aid in restoring their sovereignty stripped of them by the Polemarx empire before they make the return journey to Valheim, the last fortress of Odin, far north in the Hells Sea. The third chapter begins with a squire named Rade who is at the service of one none older than he but already knighted named Ser Barimon. Ordered by their dead Emperor's remaining council, they depart on a diplomatic mission but are offered the recreation of a man hunt by a lord now local to the region they were to pass through. The lord Juvie Morto, Ser Barimon, Rade, and seven others chase the shadow of an infamous deserter named Still Morrow, who fled with his troops during the battle for Victrious, the capitol of the Wooloe empire. When the pair return to brief the council on Still Morrow's whereabouts, Rade is offered leave by his knight to join a festival. Though his evident proximity to power leaving the council's chambers urged spies within the new capitol of Capra to kidnap the squire. Each chapter following the first three advances the stories born from these adventures.

Download or read book Echoes of Earth written by Sean Williams and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “dazzling adventure” from the New York Times–bestselling author, a man adrift in space finds himself facing the edge of madness (Jack McDevitt). The Frank Tipler is just one of a thousand survey vessels sent out into the bubble of space surrounding Earth, seeking habitable worlds and signs of advanced life. Its crew has stumbled across artifacts left behind by a benevolent trader species, but the decision to study them is fraught with danger and uncertainty. The Tipler's crew consists of forty flawed electronic copies of human beings, some of them profoundly damaged—and Earth stopped responding to signals over a century ago. Caught between madness and political machinations, Alander stands on the brink of what might be the greatest discovery humanity has ever made—and a gift that humanity can’t afford to accept. “ECHOES OF EARTH is a dazzling adventure, sweeping the reader along from marvel to wonder, and it includes one of the most heart-stopping moments I've encountered in a novel in years.” —Jack McDevitt “[The] book can't be discussed or even described without spoiling some of the surprises, which are mutually reinforcing as well as juicy in themselves. I will, however, give in to the temptation to drop a few more of the names that came to mind as I was reading: the Three Gregs (Bear, Benford, Egan), Linda Nagata, and Frederik Pohl…. As the first of a series... ECHOES promises to rev its Ideas right past the red-line and drive them hard.” —Locus “The science in Dix and Williams’s work shines, entrancing with its glitter and innovation… and you won’t find any of their novels without fully-fleshed out characters, complex plots, vivid settings and thoughtful exploration of issues.” —SF Site “The authors have already made a name for themselves as writers of intelligent space opera, and ECHOES OF EARTH is sure to further bolster that reputation. The book is chock full of marvelous events, cosmic significance, mysterious alien motivations, and the wonder of outer space.” —Science Fiction Chronicle Winner of the Ditmar Award.
