Book excerpt: "Taut and elegant, carefully introspected and thoughtfully explored."—The New York Times From Hugo award-winning author Sarah Pinsker comes a novel about one family and the technology that divides them. Everybody's getting one. Val and Julie just want what’s best for their kids, David and Sophie. So when teenage son David comes home one day asking for a Pilot, a new brain implant to help with school, they reluctantly agree. This is the future, after all. Soon, Julie feels mounting pressure at work to get a Pilot to keep pace with her colleagues, leaving Val and Sophie part of the shrinking minority of people without the device. Before long, the implications are clear, for the family and society: get a Pilot or get left behind. With government subsidies and no downside, why would anyone refuse? And how do you stop a technology once it's everywhere? Those are the questions Sophie and her anti-Pilot movement rise up to answer, even if it puts them up against the Pilot's powerful manufacturer and pits Sophie against the people she loves most.

This book takes the stress and uncertainty out of satellites.

This box set includes: Old Man's War, The Ghost Brigades, and The Last Colony Earth itself is a backwater. The bulk of humanity's resources are in the hands of the Colonial Defense Force, which shields the home planet from too much knowledge of the situation. What's known to everybody is that when you reach retirement age, you can join the CDF. They don't want young people; they want people who carry the knowledge and skills of decades of living. Old Man’s War John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army, with only the vaguest idea what to expect. Because the actual fight is far more difficult than he can imagine—and what he will become is far stranger. The Ghost Brigades At first, Jared is a perfect soldier, but as another man's memories slowly surface, Jared begins to intuit the reasons for their betrayal. Time is running out: The alliance is preparing its offensive, and some of them plan worse things than humanity's mere military defeat. The Last Colony Retired from his fighting days, John Perry and his wife, Jane, are pulled back into the political arena, and into the thick of interstellar politics, betrayal, and war.

Download or read book Aquatic Humanoids written by Gary W. Babb and published by Fiction4All. This book was released on 2024-09-20 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The water world of Apsaran is dying and the humanoid inhabitants are near extinction. The last generation of one hundred, "Blue Team", are infertile and can no longer reproduce. They hope to escape and migrate to Earth, where the only other humanoid race exists. They hope to save their race, in part, by in-breeding with humans for the needed DNA diversity to reverse their infertility. Unfortunately, Earth is also on the brink of self-destruction, which would also doom any chance of survival for them. The Apsarians have advanced technology, and through this, some limited ability to view the future. They use this to witness the future impending collapse of Earth's civilization and fall into chaos. In order to save themselves, they must also save and partner with an Earth Survival Team prior to their arrival and Earth's collapse of civilization. While en route to Earth they recruit Mike Brannon via Earth's Internet to build this joint survival community and provides the funding source via Earth's Lottery through their advanced technology. Brin, the son of the last monarch on Apsaras, and his identical twin mates Meg and Peg lead the last generation of a hundred young adults in an exodus to Earth. They hope Earth's menage survival members of young, single, educated members can build and defend this community while they are en route. There own survival depends on it. These merged teams hope to defend their community and remain sequestered for a minimum of two years or until all the rioting and lawlessness runs its course. Afterward, they hope to help rebuild civilization. Unfortunately, as they reach Earth and the teams merge they find themselves in a battle to prevent Earth from destroying itself and their survival community they had managed to build in the process. Aquatic Humanoids is a parallel view from the aliens' point of view of a basic story previously presented in Apocalypse. Aquatic Humanoids begins on a distant planet and merges with and propels the original story beyond its previous limits. This is a work of science fiction laced with sexual content bordering on the taboo; but the erotic sex is part of the main SciFi story and a natural progression of the developing menage characters under diverse circumstances. CONTENT WARNING: Contains adult themes (erotica) which are unsuitable for persons under 18 years of age.
