Download or read book SLINGSHOT written by Robert G. Williscroft and published by Fresh Ink Group. This book was released on 2023-06-28 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slingshot is a love story – about a man, a woman, another man, another woman, some gender-bending...and a machine, the largest ever built. Slingshot is a mystery – about a missing aviatrix, a conspiracy, a true-believer. Slingshot is an adventure – about following a dream, the ocean-deep, outer space. Slingshot is about constructing the first space launch- loop stretching 2,600 km between Baker and Jarvis Islands in the Equatorial Pacific. It’s about high finance, intrigue, unlimited ambition, heroism, fanaticism, betrayal...and about opening space to the common person. The setting is the day-after-tomorrow. Technology has advanced, the web is more pervasive than ever, but human ambition and greed remain unchanged. In Slingshot, Alex Regent, Margo Jackson, and Klaus Blumenfeld reach for the stars as they blend their skills to create the world’s first space launch-loop, backed by major software money. Environmental fanatic Lars Watson with his team of young eco-terrorists are funded by opposing financial interests, who will go to any length to halt the project. Reporter Lori Kutcher indiscriminately applies her own personal skills to ensure it is she who reports the unfolding events to a watching world. With a cast of 69, Slingshot takes you from Seattle’s world financial district, to the ocean bottom at 5,000 feet off Baker Island, to the edge of space 80 km above. You play with dolphins and battle sharks. You fly and sail and dive, you work and play and love across the vast panorama of an Equatorial Pacific being put to leash to serve humanity’s surge into outer space. While its accurate science and precise engineering will appeal to hard science-fiction buffs, Slingshot’s major focus is the grand journey, the opening of outer space to the common person by men and women who loom larger than life as they work, play, and love.
Download or read book Project Mankind written by Ashwin Vinoo and published by Ashwin Vinoo. This book was released on 2023-10-04 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mankind lives in an illusion of freedom, unaware of their true origins and purpose... We didn’t come directly from apes as Darwinians claim. Rather, mankind is the seventh version of a hybridization experiment run by extraterrestrials to create a slave warrior race that can also function as a source of genetic material to advance our creators. Most of these races look humanoid and were once the Gods of our civilization, who descended from the skies in their fiery chariots and guided humanity’s first civilizations. However, over time, man was made to forget his origins as it was deemed that him realizing that he wasn’t free would interfere with the program. A few millennia pass and our cities are buzzing with technology that came out of nowhere shortly after UFO sightings began. Since the 1950s, people have reported lights in the sky, alien encounters, and reports of government-run secret space programs using reverse-engineered extraterrestrial technology. In the meantime, our governments continue to lie about UFOs and extraterrestrials; stating that they lack any tangible evidence despite the incredible number of eyewitnesses coming forward, whose testimonies are detailed and interconnecting. Unbeknownst to the public, there is a plan in place to wipe out the majority of the world population and replace them with grey-human hybrids that were created with reproductive material acquired through mass human abductions conducted by grey aliens. This plan will take place after a solar flash event will raise the background frequency of our planet and induce a pole-shift that will trigger floods and other catastrophes. The shift in frequency will result in the failure of all the electronics we have come to depend on, and it will render our race helpless. In this period of great human suffering, the Gods will descend once again, bearing gifts that will pacify our situation, provided we allow them to administer us. The question is “Will mankind wake up in time to avert their fate?”. This book is tailored to provide the serious investigator a framework of understanding on the ET and paranormal phenomenon

Book excerpt: What do you want, dear reader? A thriller, a science fiction epic, or rather a fantasy novel? Or perhaps a dystopian, dark story with a post-apocalyptic background? Then you are holding the right book in your hands right now, because it starts with a murder, describes science fiction paired with plenty of fantasy and takes you into a dark future. The only reason for you not to read this book might be if you can't handle the description of lesbian activities. -*- It begins quite 'innocently' with a brutal murder in the lesbian porn scene, which detective inspector Anja Hirrwanger, who has been transferred from Munich to Inzell, is tasked with solving. In the course of her investigation, the murder case increasingly fades into the background and the shadows of her past as an elite soldier increasingly reach out to her, as she encounters a soulful Class V android who knows more about herself than she does. Anja and the android Bernadette uncover more and more pieces of a vicious game in which she and her two unknown sisters were merely genetically engineered, highly efficient, deadly chess pieces. In the end, it is up to Anja's young assistant, budding detective Chantall Küppers, to solve the murder case, because Anja must die if she is to survive. Thus begins for a handful of women, who defy the natural course of events, a bizarre journey through time, away from the dying earth in search of a new home in which there may be no men.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans and their genetically altered descendants struggle to find their place in a universe controlled by a benevolent artificial intelligence in this brilliant classic of future speculation On a far-future Earth, a linked system of artificial intelligences called the cybercosm runs the planet and the universe far more efficiently than any flesh and blood ruler ever could, in essence rendering the human race obsolete. On the Earth’s moon, genetically engineered Lunarians carrying the DNA of Dagney Beynac—a descendant of the legendary Anton Guthrie, founder of the powerful and visionary Fireball Enterprises—struggle to preserve their lives, their freedom, and their satellite’s resources in the face of threats posed by encroaching humans and controlling machines. Over a span of five centuries, tensions have increased in the wake of the political and technological revolutions that reshaped their universe. And suddenly radical change is in the offing once more, as a secret kept hidden since the earliest days of Lunar colonization is about to be revealed—one that could effectively shut down the cybercosm and plunge the universe into chaos. Poul Anderson advances the worlds-shattering circumstances he so brilliantly introduced in Harvest of Stars, creating a vision of the future that is at once astonishing, provocative, and troubling. A true science fiction classic, The Stars Are Also Fire explores deep questions about the nature, complexity, and worth of humankind in an unforgettable novel considered by many to be Anderson’s masterpiece.
