Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The travelers face off against a saboteur who has crippled a colonization ship and set it light years off course bound for a planet where it is destined to crash. Blake, Perry, and Michelle emerge from the elevator onto the deck of terraforming colony ship, The Mirificus, which they had heard of from previous adventures. They quickly meet Lieutenant Long, whose name they knew from a log they had read, but when they tell him the ship is off course, they learn that he already knows. The problem is that the ship's navigational systems are giving the wrong position, and the diagnostics are not indicating the correct state of the ship's damaged systems. They discover that a criminal had found his way on board and heavily sabotaged the ship forcing it off course with little hope of it ever reaching its planet. However, when the criminal learns that the ship is close enough to a world that can help them, he sets the contingency phase of his plan into motion to permanently cripple the ship and make it impossible for it to reach anywhere. Damaged beyond repair, the ship nears its final destination, and the trio finds themselves manning the crippled ship as it enters the planet's atmosphere as they had anticipated. The Terraformers rounds out the trilogy that began with City of Phase and continued with False Invasion, and after this, anything can happen.

Download or read book Midnight Tides written by Steven Erikson and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2007-08-28 with total page 966 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of internecine warfare, the tribes of the Tiste Edur have at last united under the Warlock King of the Hiroth. There is peace--but it has been exacted at a terrible price: a pact made with a hidden power whose motives are at best suspect, at worst, deadly. To the south, the expansionist kingdom of Lether, eager to fulfill its long-prophesized renaissance as an Empire reborn, has enslved all its less-civilized neighbors with rapacious hunger. All, that is, save one--the Tiste Edur. And it must be only a matter of time before they too fall--either beneath the suffocating weight of gold, or by slaughter at the edge of a sword. Or so destiny has decreed. Yet as the two sides gather for a pivotal treaty neither truly wants, ancient forces are awakening. For the impending struggle between these two peoples is but a pale reflection of a far more profound, primal battle--a confrontation with the still-raw wound of an old betrayal and the craving for revenge at its seething heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A good deed is a hard sell when you're a bad girl. Among Landfall's elite, reputation runs everything--even the economy. Princess Ione has cashed in on playing the party girl for most of her life, but not even an imperial princess can escape the fallout of one too many scandals. Her efforts to repair her reputation have tanked, but she gets one last chance to make good, by planning a charity function for an embattled colony world. If she's going to go from party princess to people's princess, she's going to need all the friends she can get, including the man who could have been her prince, but can now only be her secret. For Den Hades, his rising star comes with a dangerous tail. His father's rage has only grown since Den's one act of defiance ruined his House's chances of alliance with the Imperial House--and kept him away from the princess who captured his heart. Den's rising Social Capital edges him closer to achieving Scionhood and freedom, but his father's influence peels more of Den's friends away. As his friends buckle under pressure from their own Houses to choose sides, his only chance is to find allies among his enemies and keep his secrets closer than ever--including his secret relationship with Ione. It's not the fall that'll kill you...It's the sudden stop at the end.
Download or read book Child of Venus written by Pamela Sargent and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nebula Award–winning author’s “masterful SF trilogy” of human colonists terraforming the second planet from the sun comes to a stunning conclusion (Publishers Weekly). Often compared to Kim Stanley Robinson’s acclaimed Mars trilogy, the three novels in the Venus saga—Venus of Dreams, Venus of Shadows, and Child of Venus—further establish the Nebula and Locus Award–winning author of The Shore of Women as “one of the genre’s best writers” (The Washington Post). The Venus Project—making the planet’s atmosphere habitable for humans—spans centuries and determines the fate of multiple generations. The great task has already survived the ravages of civil war and continues unabated, overseen by two distinct rival factions: the “Cytherian” human colonists in enclosed settlements on the planet’s surface and the “Habbers,” cybernetically enhanced human dwellers living in a mobile asteroid orbiting above the planet. Mahala Liangharad is a true child of Venus, conceived from the genetic material of rebels who died long before her birth. Chained to the Project her forebears began centuries earlier, she is restless and dissatisfied with the prospect of spending her entire existence inside a sealed dome. But her life is changed forever when the Habbers receive alien radio signals from six hundred light years away. With all work on Venus abruptly halted, Mahala now faces the most momentous decision of her young life. She can remain behind on the unfinished planet, or leave everything she’s ever known and loved to pursue her destiny—and humankind’s—to the far reaches of the universe . . .

Book excerpt: Unearthing Idyll is a magnifying glass over two contrasting worlds. An introspective literary science fiction that opens a dialog about social identity, collectivism, and what it means to never fit into a society. Earth has gained its second moon—an asteroid called Zenith. In this harmonious, hollowed out colony, sunlight radiates from the roof and warmth beams through its citizens. Lyra, a second-generation Zenither and a self-contained individualist, has waited all her life to escape the asteroid and settle on Earth. On her way to the blue planet, Lyra’s documents mysteriously disappear, and she is deported back to her homeland. Her only solace is a rancorous, self-serving Earthler friend, Aryabh—a hacker whose dreadful past is intertwined with the totalitarian government of the planet. Why is Lyra so desperate to leave an almost perfect world? How many plans will Aryabh concoct instead of confronting his demons? Before they unearth their idyll, they must determine their own role in their societies or end up never escaping their personal dystopia.
Download or read book No One Can Hear You Train written by Cassandra Morphy and published by Crowbarland Books. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After escaping the pirates that had captured them, Dor and her friends crash land in the badlands of New Triton. But even with their emergency beacon running, no one seemed ready or willing to help them. The politics of the oncoming war has followed them from the space station. Even those that don't know about the war could feel it in the wind of the Terran Alliance. The only way for the group to be rescued was for them to take the dangerous trek across the inhospitable desert, hoping to make it to the terraformed section of the colony. Once saved from their destroyed ship, Dor, Derryl, and Worse resume their original plans, heading to Earth for basic training. Dor's wife, Kenya, had arrived ahead of them, greeting her like the old friend that she was. Only everything isn't the same between them. Not after that kiss. Not after the time apart. Not with Kenya flourishing in training, and Dor falling behind. But at least Dor isn't alone in failing. At least, not at first. But not everything at basic training is on the level. Something is happening in the shadows. A mystery that Dor can't quite figure out. But not for lack of trying. Besides, in space, no one can hear you train.

Book excerpt: For a thousand years every gulag had been the same. The same drawn faces. The same haunting blank stares. The same cold-blooded, inhuman guards. The same gruesome tools for inflicting pain. It was in this godless place called a gulag that Carina Matthews now found herself. Rebellious. Feisty. Intelligent. She would soon learn how much agony one can endure before folding. A masterfully crafted story based on the universal human conflict between the desire for order and the desire for freedom. Burgauer gives us a heroine whose concern is for the future, and a hero who is keenly aware of his own mortality. Loren Logsdon . . . Editor, Eureka Literary Magazine
