Download or read book Off Armageddon Reef written by David Weber and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2008-01-02 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book excerpt: The long-buried truth about the dawn of the Space Age: lies, spies, socialism, and sex magick. Los Angeles, 1930s: Everyone knows that rockets are just toys, the stuff of cranks and pulp magazines. Nevertheless, an earnest engineering student named Frank Malina sets out to prove the doubters wrong. With the help of his friend Jack Parsons, a grandiose and occult-obsessed explosives enthusiast, Malina embarks on a journey that takes him from junk yards and desert lots to the heights of the military-industrial complex. Malina designs the first American rocket to reach space and establishes the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. But trouble soon finds him: the FBI suspects Malina of being a communist. And when some classified documents go missing, will his comrades prove as dependable as his engineering? Drawing on an astonishing array of untapped sources, including FBI documents and private archives, Escape From Earth tells the inspiring true story of Malina's achievements--and the political fear that's kept them hidden. At its heart, this is an Icarus tale: a real life fable about the miracle of human ingenuity and the frailty of dreams.

Book excerpt: Jaybee Corbell awoke after more than 200 years as a corpsicle -- in someone else's body, and under sentence of instant annihilation if he made a wrong move while they were training him for a one-way mission to the stars. But Corbell picked his time and made his own move. Once he was outbound, where the Society that ruled Earth could not reach him, he headed his starship toward the galactic core, where the unimaginable energies of the Universe wrenched the fabric of time and space and promised final escape from his captors. Then he returned to an Earth eons older than the one he'd left...a planet that had had 3,000,000 years to develop perils he had never dreamed of -- perils that became nightmares that he had to escape...somehow!

Download or read book Earth Escape written by Réal Laplaine and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EARTH ESCAPE is a relative sci-fi novel, an epic space odyssey with a metaphysical twist. The story is told from the perspective of Jim Tale, the Captain of the starship EVOLUTION, who wakes up after twenty seven years in sub-sleep-stasis and some 1400 light years from Earth - just weeks from arriving at their target, an exoplanet which they hope to colonize. Jim's only companion, until he awakens the rest of his crew, is CASS, the most advanced artificial intelligence ever devised. CASS is not only the mind of the ship, but she becomes Jim's most trusted adviser and friend throughout this epic voyage. A calm journey turns into a thrill ride, as they suddenly make First Contact with an alien race, fight off carnivorous raptors in the new world, and so much more. Each door they open leads Jim to ask the same questions - Who are we? Why are we here? How was the Universe created? His relentless search for answers takes him through gateways and galaxies, and only when he meets Prima, a woman of extraordinary beauty and insight, does the real adventure truly begin. Earth Escape breaks down the paradigms of mediocrity and challenges the Big Bang Theory and other theories of existence, and takes the reader not only on a journey through space, but a metaphysical and philosophical one which questions existence as we know it.

Download or read book Escape From Doomsday written by R G Fowler, Jr and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Escape Form Doomsday starts out with a unique science fiction adaptation of Noah and the Great Flood - a coming apocalypse on Earth and other planets in an alternate universe. The setting is a highly advanced civilization existing thousands of years in the past that uses occult metaphysics to create almost unlimited power and scientific progress. An inventor, Daniel, a member of the aristocracy by virtue of his being the great-nephew of a Grand Patriarch (the Noah of this universe) and a high-ranking police officer, becomes involved in thwarting a complex plot to destroy his family's standing in the empire. Although Daniel is at first a hands-off, non-religious person, his wife Josette is a New Age/nature-worshiping disciple who is antagonistic against The Father's religion. Josette later becomes possessed by a powerful being that will morph into a parallel of the Antichrist. The spirit she possesses enables her great power, which will at first benefit the couple but ultimately endeavors to dominate the world unless Daniel can find a way to stop it. The love story of Daniel and Josette is one of compelling commitment - a driving force behind Daniel's ingenuity which allows them to escape doomsday twice - and then to face it a final time.
