Download or read book Grand Central Arena written by Ryk E. Spoor and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was supposed to be a simple test flight, one that pilot Ariane Austin was on only as a last-ditch backup; intelligent, superhumanly fast automation would handle the test activation and flight of humanity's first faster-than-light vessel. But when the Sandrisson Drive activated, every automated system crashed, the nuclear reactor itself shut down, and only the reflexes and training of a racing pilot saved the test vessel Holy Grail from crashing into the impossible wall that had appeared before them, a wall which is just part of a monstrous enclosure surrounding a space twenty thousand kilometers across. With all artificial intelligences inert and their reactor dead, they had to find some other source of power to reactivate the Sandrisson Drive and--hopefully--take them home. And that was only the beginning. As Ariane, Dr. Simon Sandrisson, darkly enigmatic power engineer Marc C. DuQuesne, and the rest of the Holy Grail's crew explore the immense artifact, they discover that they are not alone; they have entered a place the alien inhabitants call "The Arena," and there is no way out without joining one of the alien factions ... or winning recognition as a faction in their own right, playing by the Arena's rules--and by the Arena's rules, one failed challenge could mean death or worse--perhaps for the entire human race. Surrounded by alien factions, each with its own secret plans and motivations, some wielding powers so strange as to be magical, Ariane sets out to beat the Arena at its own game. With DuQuesne's strategies, Sandrisson's genius, and her own unyielding determination, she's going to bring the Holy Grail home--even if she has to beat every faction in the Arena to do it!At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management)

Download or read book British As A Second Language written by David Bennun and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-10-31 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Bennun had lived in Africa his whole life. At the age of 18 he came to Britain, the mother country. The country he had read about in Punch magazine or seen in films like Chariots of Fire. He was in for a shock. A very big shock indeed: 'I could not have been less prepared had I spent my life up to that point listening to 30-year-old broadcasts of the Light Programme.' In this timely follow-up to the critically acclaimed Tick Bite Fever, David Bennun shows us our own country through the eyes of an alien. With his brilliantly witty turn of phrase we follow his life as a student, his brushes with Bohemia, his troubles renting and buying property, his discovery of British food and his horrors at entering the world of work. From DIY to architecture, sport to alcohol, transport to music and entertainment, David Bennun brilliantly and with ruthless wit deconstructs all these subjects, many of them so dear to the British heart.

Download or read book Robots through the Ages written by Robert Silverberg and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable collection, Robots through the Ages includes stories from some of the best writers of science fiction, both old and new. This anthology, with an introduction by Robert Silverberg, offers a sweeping survey of robots as depicted throughout literature. Since The Iliad—in which we are shown golden statues built by Hephaestus “with minds and wisdoms”—humans have been fascinated by the idea of artificial life. From the Argonautica to the medieval Jewish legend of the Golem and Ambrose Bierce’s tale of a chess-playing robot, the idea of what robots are—and who creates them—can be drastically different. This book collects a broad selection of short stories from celebrated authors such as Philip K. Dick, Seanan McGuire, Roger Zelazny, Connie Willis, and many more. Robots through the Ages not only celebrates the history of robots and the genre of science fiction, but the dauntless nature of human ingenuity.
Download or read book The Jesus Clone written by Emory Williams Jr. and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today’s modern society many people are turned off religion for a variety of reasons. This is very understandable when you consider all the different denominations and all the different teachings. Many pastors today do not teach what the Bible says, they teach their church doctrines. Most people believe what they have been taught, not what the Bible actually says. For example, consider what you have been taught about sin. Can you say you really understand it? Sin is clearly explained in chapter six. What about life after death? A popular teaching is if you “give your heart to Jesus” your immortal soul will go to heaven for eternal bliss. If you don’t, your soul will be tormented forever in the fires of hell. The Bible does not teach that! You will learn why in chapter eight. The author separates Bible fact from “church” fiction and shows that we should repent and turn to God because He loves us, not out of fear of eternal torment in hell. Using an abundance of scripture references, as well as personal speculation, the author paints a picture that makes sense. It may increase your faith in God and bring you peace in these troubling times. If you are seeking answers about the purpose for your life, this book may be what you need.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EDWIN CHARLES TUBB is one of the most popular and prolific British writers of science fiction. Born between World War I and II, he became an avid reader of the American pulp magazines, but the second World War thwarted his writing ambitions. Post-war he was in the vanguard of an emerging group of talented British writers. They included Brian Aldiss, Sydney J. Bounds, John Brunner, Ken Bulmer, John Christopher, John Russell Fearn, Philip E. High and John Wyndham, who collectively helped lay the foundations for British science fiction as it exists today. Tubb's first professional sale, a short story, was published in 1951, in the leading British science fiction magazine New Worlds, where he quickly became established as a star contributor. The first of his many novels appeared as a paperback original shortly thereafter, and he was soon featuring in all of the other British SF magazines, most notably Authentic Science Fiction, Nebula Science Fiction, and Science Fantasy. Over the next decade, Tubb also became established in the leading American SF magazines, selling outstanding stories to Astounding Science Fiction, Galaxy, If, and Planet Stories. He also became established in the United States as a novelist, and is today best known as the creator of the long-running "Dumarest of Terra" series. Here then are hand-picked stories, the cream of the crop, making The Best Science Fiction of E.C. Tubb the publishing event of the year
