Book excerpt: Found adrift far from Consortium space, pilot Dakota Merrick and Lucas Corso are taken prisoner by the alien Bandati. There, Dakota discovers that humanity’s knowledge of the galaxy is frighteningly inaccurate. The Shoal has apparently been fighting a frontier war with a rival species, the Emissaries, for thousands of years. As yet, the latter seem unaware of their FTL technology’s full destructive capabilities. But the Bandati now have this information, and they will use it for profit. Dakota realises, to her shock, that the Shoal may therefore hold the Galaxy’s best chance for peace. Forging an alliance with Trader, a Shoal-member, she’s determined to prevent the Bandati’s deadly knowledge from reaching the Emissaries. Yet despite her efforts, a nova war now seems inevitable – a war that will destroy millions of inhabited worlds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HEAVY IS THE HEAD THAT WEARS THE CROWN.... Along with the throne of the Federated Commonwealth, Prince Victor Steiner-Davion inherited a number of problems. Foremost among them is the Clans' threat to the peace of the Inner Sphere—and a treacherous sister who wants to supplant him. The expected demise of Joshua Marik—heir to the Free Worlds League, whose very presence maintained peace—also endangers harmony. Victor's idea is to use a double for Joshua, a deception that will prevent war. But secret duplicity is hard to maintain, and war erupts anyway, splitting the Inner Sphere and leaving the Federated Commonwealth defenseless. And when Victor thinks things can get no worse, word comes that the Clans, once again, have brought war to the Inner Sphere...

Download or read book Terra Nova The Wars of Liberation written by Tom Kratman and published by Baen Books. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New stories set in Tom Kratman's hard-hitting Carrera military sf series "Send us your tired, your poor," says the inscription at the base of the great statue, "your huddled masses yearning to be free." But the future of the colony planet, Terra Nova, and its relations with Old Earth is far more a case of boot out your tired, your poor, your dissidents and troublemakers. Use us for a dumping ground for all your problems. Go ahead and abandon these here. This may have been fine, too, but for the UN and its corrupt bureaucracy insisting on maintaining control and milking the new world and its settlers, willing and unwilling both, bone dry. Contained herein are tales of the history of Mankind's future first colony, from the first failed attempt at colonization, to the rise in crime, to the rise in terrorism, to its descent into widespread civil war and rebellion...and ultimately liberation. As with most of human history, this history is messy, with good men and women turning bad, bad men and women inadvertently doing good, and blood flowing in the streets.

Download or read book Allegories of a Never ending War written by Maximiliano E. Korstanje and published by . This book was released on 2020-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attacks to the World Trade Center and Pentagon on September 11, 2001 brought serious consequences for the daily lives of Americans even to date. Although the literature on 9/11 and the resulted War on Terror abounds, less attention was paid to the daily effects of 9/11 in Western culture. To fill this gap, the present book, which is formed by different authored chapters, not only focuses on deciphering the nature and historical evolution of terrorism but also its consequences on the capitalist system. Starting from the premise that 9/11 is destroying the Western democracies from the inside, authors who have contributed to this editorial project shed light on the inconsistencies and ideological limitations of terrorism-research today. In this respect, the book infers the thesis that terrorism has affected one of the cultural touchstones of Western civilization: the sacred law of hospitality.The Islamophobia, the recent white supremacist manifestations, and the adoption of high technology to surveillance (or spy) the private life of citizens, without mentioning the tightening of border checks are clear signs that terrorism is gradually and partly isolating the US from the rest of the world. This book intends to discuss to what extent terrorism is mining democracy internally. We have invited authors from different countries and cultures to participate, some of them even non-English native speakers. This would be very well a limitation since speaking in a foreign language is almost difficult, but to my end, this is the tug of war of the book. Still further, an edited book contains interesting debates, which need to be properly organized by the editor, given the discrepancies among the authors ́ ideologies. For that, we have disposed from an introductory and concluding chapter to review the common-thread argumentation--chapter by chapter. Last but not least, each author not only gave a multicultural perspective on the problem but a particular diagnosis of how terrorism is discussed, imagined and internalized in different countries. These chapters interrogate further on the dominant discourse revolving around terrorism, Jihadism and 9/11. We hope this book helps to clearly expand the current understanding of terrorism and its effects in the Western culture.

In her grief, Nova unleashed her devastating psychic powers, killing hundreds in a single, terrible moment. Now, on the run through the slums of Tarsonis, she is unable to trust anyone.

Book excerpt: A story within a story within a story, 𝑁𝑜𝑣𝑎'𝑠 𝑃𝑙𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡: 𝐹𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝐶𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑇𝑜 𝑇𝑖𝑎𝑟𝑎 is about an older teen who has undergone a breakup in her home city of New York, New York. To cope with this, Nova writes a tale about a Gamer named Lydia and a beautiful servant from the 18th century known as Avryll...Avryll who likes her normal life. But, when Avryll is asked to accompany her employer’s daughter to a gala, she encounters a young nobleman who harbors a divine secret. Rescuing her from bandits and saving her from a four-story fall, this handsome gentleman astounds Avryll. However, his ethereal abilities reveal his origins. He lures Avryll onto his sailing ship, grudgingly parts with her to a slave trader, finds her again, then hides her in a celestial realm. Home never seemed so far away, yet perhaps Avryll secretly wants more. Attempting to return to her world, she finds herself in an unfamiliar time period instead of her own. Originally from France, Avryll takes the stage with her adventures and romantic interests in this first volume of the Princesses of Earth Series, but Lydia and Nova are quick to follow suit in this new universe fantasy that is intertwined with mystery.
Download or read book Nova written by Samuel R. Delany and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2002-06-11 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given that the suns of Draco stretch almost sixteen light years from end to end, it stands to reason that the cost of transportation is the most important factor of the 32nd century. And since Illyrion is the element most needed for space travel, Lorq von Ray is plenty willing to fly through the core of a recently imploded sun in order to obtain seven tons of it. The potential for profit is so great that Lorq has little difficulty cobbling together an alluring crew that includes a gypsy musician and a moon-obsessed scholar interested in the ancient art of writing a novel. What the crew doesn’t know, though, is that Lorq’s quest is actually fueled by a private revenge so consuming that he’ll stop at nothing to achieve it. In the grandest manner of speculative fiction, Nova is a wise and witty classic that casts a fascinating new light on some of humanity’s oldest truths and enduring myths.
