Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Guardians – Threat Of Extinction begins with a Lataran Guardianship leaving their home planet on a mission to investigate a report that one of their protector planets had been attacked by a new enemy alien race called the Tyrax who have invaded their star systems. First Commander Òmon is in charge of the Guardianship named Poltara. What Òmon finds on the mission is abhorrent to his species. The Tyrax would not negotiate for peace. They seemed intent upon eliminating any race they discovered to take control of the planet for themselves. This act of extreme annihilation could not be tolerated and the Latarans were now at war with the Tyrax. Not only were the Tyrax determined to destroy the Lataran people, they used a new terraforming weapon on every world they attacked to make it suitable for their species. Something about the Tyrax required the need for a different type of world than was currently present for their survival. Òmon was determined to find out just what the reason for this was. Later, Òmon was given a new mission by his superior commander. He was ordered to journey to a new star system to protect it from the Tyrax before it was discovered. The reason for this was unusual. It seemed the race in this star system called Sol was another warrior-like species. They fight each other to the point of extinction of the losing race. He must recruit them to fight on Lataran Guardianships and Starfighters if they hope to win the war against the Tyrax. Supreme Master Commander Galis is the leader of the Tyrax Empire located in the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy in the constellation Canis Major 42,000 light-years from the Galactic Center of the Milky Way galaxy. Their dwarf galaxy was in the process of being torn apart by the gravitational forces of the Milky Way galaxy. First Commander Eto is given a special assignment to test a new Doomsday weapon that can be used to terraform whole planets in a matter of days. He is assigned a new mission to use the weapon on the star system called Sol. This is a Novella Prequel story that introduces several main characters and situations that follow in The Guardians Series. Book 1 begins when the Tyrax attack Earth and send a Doomsday weapon that detonates multiple missile warheads over twenty-four sparsely inhabited land areas around the globe. It causes a biological transformation using nanobots that threaten to destroy all life forms on the planet within days. Only the Lataran Guardian Òmon can help save Earth from extinction. Book 2 continues the story when the Tyrax return to finish the job with a a new weapon they call the Destroyer, a large asteroid that will do more damage to the biosphere than the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs sixty-five million years ago. In Book 3, the Tyrax are building a large particle accelerator to create an antimatter weapon to use against Earth. The first opponent to build the weapon will win this Galactic Space War between good and evil alien races.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Qumru are a peaceful alien race. They are advanced spacefaring people who never interfere with other alien races and try to avoid hostile races such as the Yoyka. For the past two centuries the two races have left each other alone in peace. This changed suddenly when the Yoyka attacked Qum without warning with a new nanotech terror weapon. The weapon was made of semi-intelligent nanomachines that are contagious upon contact. The nanomachines are designed to only attack a specific race based on their genome DNA. The nanomachines replicate inside the body, invade the mind and can be controlled over quantum transmission links (QTL). Once infected, the person becomes highly infectious and the nanomachines spread rapidly by touch or by breathing the air around them. The Yoyka use the nanomachine weapon to enslave other races for the purpose of providing materials and resources for building Yoyka warships, military forces and expanding the Yoykan Empire. The Yoyka plan to attack, capture and enslave all alien races within the galaxy if not stopped. The Qumru have two advantages the Yoyka are not fully aware of. First, the Qumru created sentient androids for providing security, military functions and other services for the people of Qum. They live on a separate planet called Holtu thirty light years away. Second, they possess an advanced scientific achievement called Onutu which can prolong their lives. These two advantages will decide the outcome of the devastating war with the Yoykan Empire. This is a Novella Prequel story that introduces several main characters in the Nanomachine War Series trilogy. Book 1 continues the saga of the first Qumru starship encounter with humans on Mars. Books 2 and 3 culminate in a space war with the Yoykan Empire to settle the question of whether or not the Yoyka will enslave the peoples of Qum, Holtu and Earth.

Book excerpt: The Guardians - Book 2 continues the story about the human race fighting to survive another extinction event caused by an alien race known as the Tyrax. The Tyrax first tried to wipe the human race off the face of the planet by using a nanobiotechnology weapon to terraform Earth for their own unique DNA makeup. Earth survived with the help of a friendly alien race from Latar who sent a Guardian to watch over Earth five hundred years ago. His name is Òmon and he helps prepare the human race for the eventual invasion of the Tyrax and teaches humans how to fight back. In Book 2 the Tyrax have returned to finish the job with a large warship fleet and a new weapon they call the Destroyer. It is a large asteroid that will do more damage to the biosphere than the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs sixty-five million years ago. To prevent this new extinction event, Òmon returns with more Guardianships to defend Earth from the Tyrax attack. Brandon Cole, Mike Wolinsky, Lizzy Rollins, Paul Ballard, Manco Cusi, Amaru Tupac and all the other human recruits from centuries past join forces with the new 28th Space Strike Force to battle the Tyrax warships in the Asteroid Belt. The space battle is devastating to both sides and thousands of lives are lost in Earth’s desperate struggle for survival. The defenders do all they can to try and stop the asteroid from destroying Earth. Saving the human race, Earth and the solar system from Tyrax colonization is just the first step in the war with the Tyrax. Out of necessity, humans must become the new Guardians of the galaxy if they wish to overcome and defeat this cruel and merciless race of alien beings.

The psychological impact on the human race is considerable. The ecological impact on the planet and the solar system will be incalculable. This is only the beginning for survival of the human species.
Download or read book 1666 Plague War and Hellfire written by Rebecca Rideal and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1666 was a watershed year for England. An outbreak of the Great Plague, the eruption of the second Dutch War, and the devastating Great Fire of London all struck the country in rapid succession and with devastating repercussions. Shedding light on these dramatic events and their context, historian Rebecca Rideal reveals an unprecedented period of terror and triumph. Based in original archival research drawing on little-known sources, 1666 opens with the fiery destruction of London before taking readers on a thrilling journey through a crucial turning point in English history as seen through the eyes of an extraordinary cast of historical characters. While the central events of this significant year were ones of devastation and defeat, 1666 also offers a glimpse of the incredible scientific and artistic progress being made at that time, from Isaac Newton’s discovery of gravity to the establishment of The London Gazette. It was in this year that John Milton completed Paradise Lost, Frances Stewart posed for the iconic image of Britannia, and a young architect named Christopher Wren proposed a plan for a new London—a stone phoenix to rise from the charred ashes of the old city. With flair and style, 1666 exposes readers to a city and a country on the cusp of modernity and a series of events that altered the course of history.
Download or read book Trans Forming Utopia written by Elizabeth Russell and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the utopian project dead? Is it possible to imagine a utopian society or a utopian world in the aftermath of the collapse of ideologies? This book contains eighteen essays which are the result of the 7th International Conference of Utopian Studies held in Spain in 2006, either debating the subject, or suggesting alternative readings to some of the theoretical ideas raised within utopian studies. This volume focuses on the importance of narratives in utopian literature. They define the world we live in and the world we wish to live in. Through narratives of confession, and indeed through silence itself, the unconscious emerges and desire is articulated. The articles in this volume question and challenge the power of the word, the stability of meaning, and the relationship between thought and action in the construction of utopia and dystopia. They also point to the various literary frameworks of utopian and dystopian narratives, thus connecting stories from the past, present and future of both real and imaginary and communities.

Book excerpt: (Re)Writing War in Contemporary Literature and Culture: Beyond Post-Memory is an exploration of war narratives through the lens of postmemory, offering a critical re-evaluation of how contemporary literature and cultural products reshape our understanding of past conflicts. This volume presents a rich tapestry of perspectives, drawing from an array of conflicts and incorporating insights from international experts across various disciplines, including contemporary literature, film studies, visual arts, and cultural studies. It critically builds upon and extends Marianne Hirsch's concept of postmemory, engaging with complex themes like the ethical dimensions of war writing, the authenticity of representations, and the creative power of art in reimagining traumatic events. This study not only challenges traditional boundaries in war literature and memory studies but also resonates with contemporary concerns about societal engagement with violent pasts, making it a significant addition to scholarly discourse and essential reading for those interested in the intersection of history, memory, and literature.

Download or read book Sulphuric Utopias written by Lukas Engelmann and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How early twentieth century fumigation technologies transformed maritime quarantine practices and inspired utopian visions of disease-free global trade. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, fumigation technologies transformed global practices of maritime quarantine through chemical and engineering innovation. One of these technologies, the widely used Clayton machine, blasted sulphuric acid gas through a docked ship in an effort to eliminate pathogens, insects, and rats while leaving the cargo and the structure of the vessel unharmed, shortening its time in quarantine and minimizing the risk of importing infectious diseases. In Sulphuric Utopias, Lukas Engelmann and Christos Lynteris examine this overlooked but historically crucial practice at the intersection of epidemiology, hygiene, applied chemistry, and engineering. They show how maritime fumigation inspired utopian visions of disease-free trade to improve global shipping and to encourage universally applicable standards of sanitation and hygiene. Engelmann and Lynteris chart the history of ideas about fumigation, disinfection, and quarantine, and chronicle the development of the Clayton machine in 1880s New Orleans. Built by the Louisiana Board of Health and adapted and patented by Thomas Clayton, the machine offered a barrier against bacteria and pests and enabled a highway to global trade. Engelmann and Lynteris chronicle the Clayton machine's success and examine its competitors, including carbon-based fumigation methods in Germany and the Ottoman Empire as well as the “Sulfurozador” in Argentina. They follow the international standardization of maritime fumigation and explore the Clayton machine's decline after World War I, when visions of “sulphuric utopia” were replaced by a pragmatic acknowledgment of epidemiological complexity.
Download or read book Plague Writing in Early Modern England written by Ernest B. Gilman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the seventeenth century, England was beset by three epidemics of the bubonic plague, each outbreak claiming between a quarter and a third of the population of London and other urban centers. Surveying a wide range of responses to these epidemics—sermons, medical tracts, pious exhortations, satirical pamphlets, and political commentary—Plague Writing in Early Modern England brings to life the many and complex ways Londoners made sense of such unspeakable devastation. Ernest B. Gilman argues that the plague writing of the period attempted unsuccessfully to rationalize the catastrophic and that its failure to account for the plague as an instrument of divine justice fundamentally threatened the core of Christian belief. Gilman also trains his critical eye on the works of Jonson, Donne, Pepys, and Defoe, which, he posits, can be more fully understood when put into the context of this century-long project to “write out” the plague. Ultimately, Plague Writing in Early Modern England is more than a compendium of artifacts of a bygone era; it holds up a distant mirror to reflect our own condition in the age of AIDS, super viruses, multidrug resistant tuberculosis, and the hovering threat of a global flu pandemic.
