Book excerpt: Randy Waters wants very much to work in space like his uncle. He is determined to follow that path, whatever the cost. At the risk of alienating his family and against his father's wishes, he signs on to the crew of a freighter ship currently docked at the local spaceport. While en route, they discover a mysterious alien vessel. Since no one up to this time had been able to successfully prove the existence of extraterrestrial life, the temptation to explore was too much to resist. They mount an expedition to board it. However, they unwittingly bring something back on board with them which ultimately threatens the crew and forces Randy to lead the survivors to safety. After being blown out into space from the freighter, he and the only other remaining survivor are rescued by a Stellar Navy vessel, Randy must confront the thing which was ultimately responsible for his ship's destruction as well as his life's goals and current beliefs.

Download or read book Alien Oceans written by Kevin Hand and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inside the epic quest to find life on the water-rich moons at the outer reaches of the solar system Where is the best place to find life beyond Earth? We often look to Mars as the most promising site in our solar system, but recent scientific missions have revealed that some of the most habitable real estate may actually lie farther away. Beneath the frozen crusts of several of the small, ice-covered moons of Jupiter and Saturn lurk vast oceans that may have existed for as long as Earth, and together may contain more than fifty times its total volume of liquid water. Could there be organisms living in their depths? Alien Oceans reveals the science behind the thrilling quest to find out. Kevin Peter Hand is one of today's leading NASA scientists, and his pioneering research has taken him on expeditions around the world. In this captivating account of scientific discovery, he brings together insights from planetary science, biology, and the adventures of scientists like himself to explain how we know that oceans exist within moons of the outer solar system, like Europa, Titan, and Enceladus. He shows how the exploration of Earth's oceans is informing our understanding of the potential habitability of these icy moons, and draws lessons from what we have learned about the origins of life on our own planet to consider how life could arise on these distant worlds. Alien Oceans describes what lies ahead in our search for life in our solar system and beyond, setting the stage for the transformative discoveries that may await us.
Download or read book The King of Infinite Space written by Lyndsay Faye and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lush, magical, queer, and feminist take on Hamlet in modern-day New York City, a neuro-atypical physicist, along with his best friend Horatio and artist ex-fiancé, Lia, are caught up in the otherworldly events surrounding the death of his father. Meet Ben Dane: brilliant, devastating, devoted, honest to a fault (truly, a fault). His Broadway theater baron father is dead—but on purpose or by accident? The question rips him apart. Unable to face alone his mother's ghastly remarriage to his uncle, Ben turns to his dearest friend, Horatio Patel, whom he hasn't seen since their relationship changed forever from platonic to something...other. Loyal to a fault (truly, a fault), Horatio is on the first flight to New York City when he finds himself next to a sly tailor who portends inevitable disaster. And who seems ominously like an architect of mayhem himself. Meanwhile, Ben's ex-fiancé, Lia, sundered her from her loved ones thanks to her addiction recovery and torn from her art, has been drawn into the fold of three florists from New Orleans—seemingly ageless sisters who teach her the language of flowers, and whose magical bouquets hold both curses and cures. For a price. On one explosive night these kinetic forces will collide, and the only possible outcome is death. But in the masterly hands of Lyndsay Faye, the story we all know has abundant surprises in store. Impish, captivating, and achingly romantic, this is Hamlet as you've never seen it before.

Download or read book The Triangle written by Mike Bara and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mike Bara, author of Ancient Aliens on the Moon, takes a hard look at the Bermuda Triangle. For decades, no single place has intrigued the world more than the baffling mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. Hundreds of ships, planes and yachts have disappeared in the dark, mysterious waters between Bermuda and Florida, far more than in any other part of the world. Ships have vanished without a trace only to magically reappear years later in good order but minus their crews, almost as if the intervening years had not even passed–for them. Yachts and ocean liners have gone missing in good weather with no explanation. Pilots have reported bizarre problems with their instruments as compasses and guidance systems have spun inexplicably out of control over the shadowy waters of the Triangle. Entire squadrons of military aircraft have disappeared off of radarscopes in clear weather and with no forewarning. Others have experienced strange magnetic anomalies and otherworldly encounters with mysterious craft and unrecognizable energetic fields. Explanations range from alien encounters to rogue waves to twisting unnatural funnel spouts caused by submerged civilizations left over from the days of Atlantis. New York Times bestselling author Mike Bara investigates these and other mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle in his new book The Triangle. Find out what really happened to Flight 19, the Navy training flight that last reported “they look like they’re from outer space” over the Triangle. Examine the undersea ruins of a lost civilization just off the island of Bimini and the strange stone road that leads directly into the deep waters of the Triangle. Examine the case of the Cotopaxi, the ore ship lost at sea only to reappear decades later off the coast of Cuba, far beyond where it was last sighted in the Triangle’s maritime shipping lanes. These and other enigmatic cases will be stripped open and laid bare before the light of history as the reader is carried on a journey to the world’s most frightening and impenetrable mystery–The Bermuda Triangle.

Download or read book Caves in the Heart Dance of the Shadows written by Hariclia Michailidou and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-02-27 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the cavemen to Platos conception of the cave; from the mothers cavernous womb to the cavernous spaces in the wombs of the earth, from where all springs and grows; from the firstborn light reaching us from the darkest depths of space to the dimmest light that our soul sheds on the world, our love for wisdom or the wisdom of love will master us forevermore. Cave as a temporary state of being as a traverse through life as an experience and from that as a derivative to knowledge, for our development and advancement physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. We can contemplate cave as mystery, as a space of distrust of danger, darkness, lingering light, our ignorance, or innocence, yet it is a space of temptation, of strange and powerful emotions, primordial yet known to us since the birth of this world in our seemingly infinite line of evolution. Cave as a space of contradictions, a space of darkness versus light, a space of ignorance versus knowledge, of falsity versus truth, of passion versus ecstasy, of earthly versus the heavenly. Some of those caves are extremely dangerous, yet like a necessity in our unexplained ability to surrender, we surrender and we abandon ourselves in their powerful presence. We enter in with feelings of temptation, of dilemma, of ambivalence, of fear. We enter as if pulled in by mysterious forces at times unable to resist them even if we fear destruction, our own destruction. Those are the deepest, darkest most dangerous caves, yet we enter, many already have and others will and will enter them unprepared and most vulnerable. We pray for them to survive their magic powers and to exit if necessary by a miracle, to exit wiser and tell the world of their wisdom, for they will be wiser, wiser than they were before, and the one who listens of their wisdom will be wiser too. Of that wisdom I like to share with all who like to know, with my works of the Caves of the Heart. Listen as they tell in their deafening silence of the story of my surrender, of my love for wisdom, and maybe, of the wisdom of love.
Download or read book Chronicles of a Space Mercenary written by Ronald Wintrick and published by Ronald Wintrick. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thing I hated most about working for the government, any government, they all seemed to think alike, was that then they invariably thought that they owned you. Patriotism, duty and all those other words that meant they thought they were entitled to what was yours. All meaningless trite to a world-less vagabond like myself. My ship was my home and I needed no other."They're waiting for a response, Captain!" Tanya Serensen said, my strong First and the meanest bitch I have ever met.The war was over. We were, had been, part of the Federation forces which had unsuccessfully attempted to unify the four hundred and seventy-two known human worlds. We had been smashed ruthlessly, to put mildly what had been a lost cause from the beginning. I had been paid handsomely with trade goods and supplies; semi-precious metals and fuel rods, to be exact, plus I'd brought my ship, Last Chance, and my crew through without a scratch. So I had not complained when everyone started signing peace treaties.The problem began when I informed my erstwhile employers that with hostilities ended, so too were my obligations. I had fulfilled to the letter our contract. I owed them nothing more. They had not agreed.There were now three of my former allies, positioned in attack formation outside Last Chance's hull. Not only did they not feel as if I had not completely fulfilled my end of the bargain, but I was getting the distinct impression they would not be satisfied until they had added Last Chance herself to their now depleted arsenal. I guess they felt, that with all the losses they had suffered, that Last Chance would be a welcome addition to their much depleted Navy. I guess they hadn't quite learned their lesson about attempting to force their wills on unwilling subjects. Some people are simply incapable of understanding. Especially people in positions of power, like governments, for example."You bastards!" I snarled. I should have known these ungrateful hypocrites would try to back stab me, especially now that every planet was a law unto itself, only answerable to itself, and they angry at the defeat they had suffered. They were quick at jumping on the bandwagon of self governance, now that no unifying government held sway. That was for sure."Is that your response?" Tanya asked, no inflection in her voice."No!" I snapped. The crazy bitch would repeat it too, if I didn't specifically say no! A first impression of Tanya Serensen would never give you the insightful depth that existed behind her innocent appearing, stunningly beautiful face. Blond hair, blue eyes, body and face of a love goddess, barely fifty kilos soaking wet, but as vicious as a Tarnian Bola Raptor when angered, and if you've ever been to Tarnia you know there is no living creature meaner nor better able to defend itself. That's my Tanya, in a nutshell. A very tough, unbreakable nutcase."What are we going to do?" Demanded David Bren, my Science Engineer, when I didn't immediately make a decision. Bren is a mathematical genius and quite able to compute our odds, no matter which decision I ultimately made, whether we fought or fled, against the three Class Four Katon Destroyers which were arrayed around us in a roughly triangular formation. Not that it took a mathematical genius to figure these odds. We were fucked, and that was the long and the short of it! To fight would be bad. To flee, worse. To surrender, the worst! They weren't going to let us survive to go running around telling anyone who would listen how we had been robbed by the honest, law abiding Katons. They had...

Download or read book Space Traveler written by James Vincent and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-09-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Vincent is a "world class" musician. That he is not a household name is entirely by his choice, yet almost all who have seen him perform or heard his recordings have become his fans. He has written a unique, brutally honest account of his life his childhood and discovery of the guitar; his going on the road at seventeen to play in seedy dives and military service clubs; later, in famous upscale clubs across the country; then making records and playing huge concert venues. James gives us an inside look at the recording industry the studios, the performers, producers and promoters. He gives us behind the scenes insights into many famous personalities names like Santana, Garcia, Harrison and Cetera, and acknowledges some unsung heroes in the music world. His cast of characters includes the very rich and the down and out, the saint and the prostitute, the famous, the infamous and the very bizarre. This is a story about learning the hard way; about dysfunctional families, choices and consequences, lust, infidelity, despair, triumph, tragedy, friendship and betrayal. Most of all, it is a life's journey to discover the meaning of unconditional love and spiritual fulfillment. It is indeed, an odyssey. ?R.J.M.
