Download or read book Lone Huntress written by Andrew L Miller and published by Lone Huntress. This book was released on 2022-04-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lisa's a few inches shy of seven feet tall, even when she wears flat heels. She's got the physique of a fetishistic muscle goddess, impressive in every sense of the word. Her eyes glow when she's staring down her enemies, and her right arm is a prosthetic multi-tool. She's got the firepower of a capital ship on her sturdy little vessel, her armor has seen veterans and laborers through the worst of conditions for over a century, and both the ship and the armor were a gift from her foster father after he'd finished teaching her everything he knew about being better at violence than whoever she'd be hunting down. Even her surname, chosen according to the traditions of her culture, was tailor made for her choice of career. Huntress. Lisa's also chronically depressed, desperately lonely, and filled with self-loathing so powerful it's practically a split personality dedicated to making her miserable. She lives in her ship like a recluse, she's terrified of large crowds, and she's convinced she's a big ugly monster, only good for hunting down other monsters. Her prosthetic limb is a reminder of everything she's lost, her home planet has no place for her, and her love life fits in the drawer next to her bed. But just because that's what she is, doesn't mean that's what she always has to be. Maybe, just maybe, she can learn to be more than what she is. Maybe she can learn to derive self-esteem from her career. Maybe she can learn to see herself through the eyes of an unexpected assortment of bashful suitors of varying genders and backgrounds. And if nothing else, there's always a few pirates out wanting to hurt others... And just like her Daddy, Lisa loves hurting the people who hurt other people.

Book excerpt: The future is exciting. Starships travel the infinite void between worlds, ferrying cargo of all sizes, from entire asteroids of water ice being tugged into a new orbit, to armored suitcases containing hard copies of valuable data and items of sentimental value. The future is luxurious. Starship passengers lack for nothing, and entire world cultures have been created by those with the freedom to make the world they want. Arboreal Eden. Academic Mecca. Planet of Furries. The future is freedom. Citizens of the Federation defend their civil rights to the death, and a government conceived in the ashes of fallen tyranny safeguards against its own corruption. The future is dangerous. Pirates prey on ships with their cargoes and their passengers to take whatever they wish. Hostile aliens spread between planets as they once spread through the asteroids in a gas torus. And politicians are still vulnerable to corruption. In the future, remember to keep your laser pistol and lightsaber close at hand when you travel. And always remember to keep the contact information of a good bounty hunter bookmarked.

Download or read book Adventures among Ants written by Mark W. Moffett and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010-05-05 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intrepid international explorer, biologist, and photographer Mark W. Moffett, "the Indiana Jones of entomology," takes us around the globe on a strange and colorful journey in search of the hidden world of ants. In tales from Nigeria, Indonesia, the Amazon, Australia, California, and elsewhere, Moffett recounts his entomological exploits and provides fascinating details on how ants live and how they dominate their ecosystems through strikingly human behaviors, yet at a different scale and a faster tempo. Moffett’s spectacular close-up photographs shrink us down to size, so that we can observe ants in familiar roles; warriors, builders, big-game hunters, and slave owners. We find them creating marketplaces and assembly lines and dealing with issues we think of as uniquely human—including hygiene, recycling, and warfare. Adventures among Ants introduces some of the world’s most awe-inspiring species and offers a startling new perspective on the limits of our own perception. • Ants are world-class road builders, handling traffic problems on thoroughfares that dwarf our highway systems in their complexity • Ants with the largest societies often deploy complicated military tactics • Some ants have evolved from hunter-gatherers into farmers, domesticating other insects and growing crops for food
