An ancient alien species, our silent guardians for nearly 200,000 years, has stepped forward to save the human race from impending doom. The aliens’ method: Recruit a team of humans to guide our race to ferry the Earth refugees to safety. Not everybody on Planet Earth is convinced that the threat is real, and many groups refuse to cooperate and even work to sabotage the rescue plan. This recalcitrance and disbelief causes problem after life-threatening problems for the humans tapped to manage the awesome responsibility of saving humankind from immolation. In the middle of the effort to save the humans, another threat from out of the darkness of deep space, an alien battle fleet is bearing down on us! Politics, civil war, criminality, vicious rogue aliens, automatic weapons, and international intrigue, together with bang-up space opera, combine to tell a riveting and jaw-dropping, remarkable adventure tale of mankind at its best — and worst. Join Monty, Sal, Agra, Beth, Greta, and the rest of the Rescue Cadre as they fight against overpowering odds for the future of human civilization!

Download or read book Computer Simulations of Space Societies written by William Sims Bainbridge and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the intersection of astronautics, computer science, and social science, this book introduces the challenges and insights associated with computer simulation of human society in outer space, and of the dynamics of terrestrial enthusiasm for space exploration. Never before have so many dynamic representations of space-related social systems existed, some deeply analyzing the logical implications of social-scientific theories, and others open for experience by the general public as computer-generated virtual worlds. Fascinating software ranges from multi-agent artificial intelligence models of civilization, to space-oriented massively multiplayer online games, to educational programs suitable for schools or even for the world's space exploration agencies. At the present time, when actual forays by humans into space are scarce, computer simulations of space societies are an excellent way to prepare for a renaissance of exploration beyond the bounds of Earth.

Book excerpt: Walk the ancient streets, meet the colorful characters, and uncover the secret history of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the new expansion to the Disney Parks experience! After devastating losses at the hands of the First Order, General Leia Organa has dispatched her agents across the galaxy in search of allies, sanctuary, and firepower—and her top spy, Vi Moradi, may have just found all three, on a secluded world at the galaxy’s edge. A planet of lush forests, precarious mountains, and towering, petrified trees, Batuu is on the furthest possible frontier of the galactic map, the last settled world before the mysterious expanse of Wild Space. The rogues, smugglers, and adventurers who eke out a living on the largest settlement on the planet, Black Spire Outpost, are here to avoid prying eyes and unnecessary complications. Vi, a Resistance spy on the run from the First Order, is hardly a welcome guest. And when a shuttle full of stormtroopers lands in her wake, determined to root her out, she has no idea where to find help. To survive, Vi will have to seek out the good-hearted heroes hiding in a world that redefines scum and villainy. With the help of a traitorous trooper and her acerbic droid, she begins to gather a colorful band of outcasts and misfits, and embarks on a mission to spark the fire of resistance on Batuu—before the First Order snuffs it out entirely.

The skin on its back was ribbed and corrugated. This creature was the first living thing we encountered on the sinister planet...

Book excerpt: Through spaceships, aliens, ray guns and other familiar trappings, science fiction uses the future (and sometimes the past) to comment on current social, cultural and political ideologies; the same is true of science fiction in children's film and television. This collection of essays analyzes the confluences of science fiction and children's visual media, covering such cultural icons as Flash Gordon, the Jetsons and Star Wars, as well as more contemporary fare like the films Wall-E, Monsters vs. Aliens and Toy Story.

Book excerpt: Something has happened which shouldn't be possible. A star was stolen. One minute it was there, the next it was gone. And Sara Hale, a mechanically augmented rocket officer, has the unenviable task of discovering how such a devastating phenomenon is possible - and who's to blame. Entangled somewhere in this mess is Sara's young friend, David Smith, a legendary war hero with amorous ties to their quarry. David has been tramping from star system to star system since the Yavi War ended, and he's earned a reputation for being unpredictable and utterly unstoppable. But he's fiercely loyal to Sara - or at least he always has been. Neither of them want to think about what might happen on the day their goals fail to align. Peeling back the mystery plunges Sara and her comrades down a bloody trail left by a rogue assassin, each step of which seems just a little too easy to follow. What will they find when they reach the end? What secrets lie at the Spark? And do they bode well or ill for humanity? The future of our species, indeed of all the galaxy, may soon depend upon the crew of a Rocket to the Spark!
