Book excerpt: The year is 2071. Mars has come a long way since the first MS-4 mission landed on the Martian surface back on August 26, 2033. What was once a small outpost on a desolate planet, has become a thriving home to more than one hundred thousand Martian residents. Our neighboring planet is now a spaceport for a continuous flow of supplies, equipment, and human resources. Not just anyone comes to Mars. The United Space Program only encourages the best people in the fields that will help Mars to become a second home. The excitement on Mars comes with a price that the USP did not consider. Tensions are rising back on Earth as selected populations are moving to Mars. Bitterness and resentment begin to set in where collaboration and engagement once were. The USP is under tremendous pressure. Concerns begin to surface about Mars becoming more independent. The USP is going through volatile changes that may be a detriment to the cause. A charismatic new leader takes over the council, but his intentions are not clear. Akeria, a well-established United Space Program board member and pioneer on Mars, is distracted away from this uncertainty when she stumbles upon evidence of an unusual find beneath the Martian surface. She dispatches a crew made up of her most trusted family and friends. One of the leads on this mission is Akeria's daughter, Kathy. Growing up under the strict eye of her mother and trained under the spotlight of the USP, Kathy begins to create her own path as an adult. As a daughter, she is just now getting over the pressures of living under her mother's shadow with her husband's help. As a masterful pilot, Kathy believes her skills will do more than build a new home. As a friend, Kathy looks to Abby, a lifelong best friend, to be there for her. Now, this eager group of adventurers set out to face this unknown. Together as one. Together with hope.

Download or read book The Sands of Mars written by Arthur C. Clarke and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Predating the earliest manned space mission: the first full-length science fiction novel from the acclaimed author of 2001: A Space Odyssey. First published in 1951, before the achievement of space flight, Arthur C. Clarke created this visionary tale. Renowned science fiction writer Martin Gibson joins the spaceship Ares, the world’s first interplanetary ship for passenger travel, on its maiden voyage to Mars. His mission: to report back to the home planet about the new Mars colony and the progress it has been making. In The Sands of Mars, Clarke addresses hard physical and scientific issues with aplomb—and the best scientific understanding of the times. Included are the challenges of differing air pressures, lack of oxygen, food provisions, severe weather patterns, construction on Mars, and methods of local travel—both on the surface and to the planet’s two moons. “[Clarke is] one of the truly prophetic figures of the space age.” —The New Yorker

Download or read book Black Amazon of Mars written by Leigh Brackett and published by eStar Books. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grimly Eric John Stark slogged toward that ancient Martian city-with every step he cursed the talisman of Ban Cruach that flamed in his blood-stained belt Behind him screamed the hordes of Ciaran, hungering for that magic jewel-ahead lay the dread abode of the Ice Creatures-at his side stalked the whispering spectre of Ban Cruach, urging him on to a battle Stark knew he must lose!ExcerptThrough all the long cold hours of the Norland night the Martian had not moved nor spoken. At dusk of the day before Eric John Stark had brought him into the ruined tower and laid him down, wrapped in blankets, on the snow. He had built a fire of dead brush, and since then the two men had waited, alone in the vast wasteland that girdles the polar cap of Mars.Now, just before dawn, Camar the Martian spoke."Stark.""Yes?""I am dying.""Yes.""I will not reach Kushat.""No."Camar nodded. He was silent again.The wind howled down from the northern ice, and the broken walls rose up against it, brooding, gigantic, roofless now but so huge and sprawling that they seemed less like walls than cliffs of ebon stone. Stark would not have gone near them but for Camar. They were wrong, somehow, with a taint of forgotten evil still about them.The big Earthman glanced at Camar, and his face was sad. "A man likes to die in his own place," he said abruptly. "I am sorry.""The Lord of Silence is a great personage," Camar answered. "He does not mind the meeting place. No. It was not for that I came back into the Norlands."He was shaken by an agony that was not of the body. "And I shall not reach Kushat!"Stark spoke quietly, using the courtly High Martian almost as fluently as Camar."I have known that there was a burden heavier than death upon my brother's soul."He leaned over, placing one large hand on the Martian's shoulder. "My brother has given his life for mine. Therefore, I will take his burden upon myself, if I can."He did not want Camar's burden, whatever it might be. But the Martian had fought beside him through a long guerilla campaign among the harried tribes of the nearer moon. He was a good man of his hands, and in the end had taken the bullet that was meant for Stark, knowing quite well what he was doing. They were friends.

Download or read book Came the Dawn written by Wallace Wood and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking its title from one of Wallace Wood’s all-time classics, the evil little paranoid thriller “Came the Dawn,” this collection features page after page after page of Wood’s sleek and meticulously crafted artwork put in the service of cunning twist-ending stories, most often from the typewriter of EC editor Al Feldstein. These tales range from supernatural shockers from the pages of Tales From the Cryptand The Haunt of Fear (“The Living Corpse,” “Terror Ride,” “Man From the Grave,” “Horror in the Freak Tent”) to often pointedly contemporary crime thrillers from Crime SuspenStories (“The Assault,” “The Whipping,” and “Confession,” which was singled out for specific excoriation in the anti-comics screed Seduction of the Innocent, thus giving it a special cachet), but the breathtaking art and whiplash-inducing shock endings are constants throughout.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Prelude to Space, the first of the novels, is a vivid account of the events that culminate in a man's first voyage to the moon. Written when the adventure seemed a remote possibility, and now regarded as a classic in its field, it gains fresh interest from an introduction discussing ways in which the actualities of space travel are overtaking the author's speculations about it. Actuality has yet to overtake Sands of Mars, a novel in which courageous and visionary men bring off a vast experiment to make permanent colonization of that forbidding planet possible"--Front jacket flap.
