Like his family before him, he's finally headed to Indigo 8, a top secret training center where future Starbounders learn the skills to protect the galaxy. But being a Starbounder is no walk on the moon. No sooner has Zachary mastered the warp glove basics than a mission into space goes wrong and puts him and his new friends right in the line of fire. And when a plot to destroy Indigo 8 comes to light, Zachary will have to get back to Earth on his own and fast—before there's no Earth left to go back to. With the "winning combination of action and humor" (SLJ, starred review) that earned The Familiars an Indie Next List Pick and eight state award nominations, Starbounders is an out-of-this-world adventure that has surefire kid appeal.

Download or read book Alone Against the North written by Adam Shoalts and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario's 2016 Young Authors Award Winner of the 2017 Louise de Kiriline Award for Nonfiction The age of exploration is not over. When Adam Shoalts ventured into the largest unexplored wilderness on the planet, he hoped to set foot where no one had ever gone before. What he discovered surprised even him. Shoalts was no stranger to the wilderness. He had hacked his way through jungles and swamp, had stared down polar bears and climbed mountains. But one spot on the map called out to him irresistibly: the Hudson Bay Lowlands, a trackless expanse of muskeg and lonely rivers, caribou and wolf—an Amazon of the north, parts of which to this day remain unexplored. Cutting through this forbidding landscape is a river no explorer, trapper, or canoeist had left any record of paddling. It was this river that Shoalts was obsessively determined to explore. It took him several attempts, and years of research. But finally, alone, he found the headwaters of the mysterious river. He believed he had discovered what he had set out to find. But the adventure had just begun. Unexpected dangers awaited him downstream. Gripping and often poetic, Alone Against the North is a classic adventure story of single-minded obsession, physical hardship, and the restless sense of wonder that every explorer has in common. But what does exploration mean in an age when satellite imagery of even the remotest corner of the planet is available to anyone with a phone? Is there anything left to explore? What Shoalts discovered as he paddled downriver was a series of unmapped waterfalls that could easily have killed him. Just as astonishing was the media reaction when he got back to civilization. He was crowned “Canada’s Indiana Jones” and appeared on morning television. He was feted by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and congratulated by the Governor General. People were enthralled by Shoalts’s proof that the world is bigger than we think. Shoalts’s story makes it clear that the world can become known only by getting out of our cars and armchairs, and setting out into the unknown, where every step is different from the one before, and something you may never have imagined lies around the next curve in the river.

Download or read book Windswept written by Adam Rakunas and published by Jabberwocky Literary Agency, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-01-10 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A finalist for the 2016 Philip K. Dick Award, Windswept is the gonzo noir you didn't know you needed until now. Newly reissued, this Author’s Preferred Edition features essays, stories, and, for the first time, a mouth-watering recipe for chicken tacos. Two-fisted labor organizer Padma Mehta is on the edge of space and the edge of burnout. All she wants is to retire, buy a rum distillery, and spend the rest of her life on the beach. To do that, she has to recruit five hundred people to the Union, and she’s thirty-three short. When a small-time scam artist tells her about forty people ready to tumble down the space elevator to break free from her old bosses, Padma checks it out. Now Padma’s up to her eyeballs in trouble as everyone around her starts turning up dead. Can she fight her way through the city’s warehouses, sewage plants, and up the elevator itself to save her job, her planet, and her sanity? And can she do it all before Happy Hour? Praise for Windswept: “This twisty David-and-Goliath tale is clever, fast-paced, and frequently funny, taking plenty of well-deserved potshots at corporate greed.” – Publishers Weekly “Adam Rakunas is one funny SOB, and now everyone’s going to know it. Windswept is a zippy, zany ride, with more fast turns than a Wild Mouse rollercoaster. There’s more witty banter and laughs per page than anything I’ve read in years, making this, my friends, the rarest kind of science-fiction-comedy novel: one that’s actually funny. Buckle the hell up.” – Daryl Gregory, award-winning author of We Are All Completely Fine “Windswept is a classic noir story shot full of space-rum and rocketed into the future.” – The Seattle Review of Books “Part action-adventure, part space opera, part farce... Recommended for Star Trek fans who loved stories like ‘The Bell Riots’.” – Dark Matter Zine “This mélange of fast-paced action, character study, social study and witty dialogue makes up a thoroughly enjoyable narrative treat.” – Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviews “I loved the worldbuilding of Windswept... Seriously, this book is just plain funny. Even so, it manages to present an interesting perspective on politics, consumerism, and unionizations.” – Bookaneer
Download or read book Turn Right at Machu Picchu written by Mark Adams and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING TRAVEL MEMOIR What happens when an unadventurous adventure writer tries to re-create the original expedition to Machu Picchu? In 1911, Hiram Bingham III climbed into the Andes Mountains of Peru and “discovered” Machu Picchu. While history has recast Bingham as a villain who stole both priceless artifacts and credit for finding the great archeological site, Mark Adams set out to retrace the explorer’s perilous path in search of the truth—except he’d written about adventure far more than he’d actually lived it. In fact, he’d never even slept in a tent. Turn Right at Machu Picchu is Adams’ fascinating and funny account of his journey through some of the world’s most majestic, historic, and remote landscapes guided only by a hard-as-nails Australian survivalist and one nagging question: Just what was Machu Picchu?

Book excerpt: What They're Saying "humor and adventure like Guardians of the Galaxy" -- Goodreads reader "like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" -- Anina Net, 360Fashion Network "amazingly fun and heartwarming" -- Amazon reader "damned near perfect" -- Amazon reader "a world that's easy to get immersed in" -- Amazon reader "reminds of Star Wars" -- Advance reader "a joy of a novel to read" -- Advance reader The year is 2399. Humans' "biological clocks" have been stopped for more than 250 years, freeing humanity from aging and death. AIs have rights, and can even acquire full citizenship. It's also fashion week. Antisocial fashion editor Pablo Starr -- who runs Space Fashion Week, via RNWY -- is bored and depressed, as usual. He has endless riches, and (like everyone in 2399) doesn't age, but he's been searching for his lost love for almost 100 years. Meanwhile, supermodel-turned-reality star Samantha (of mean-spirited holo show Samantha!) is trying to make a name for herself as an inventor, but she's mocked by the media and her shallow co-workers. Their lives are connected, and changed, when DOS, an antiquated robot, crashes the Chanel show looking for Samantha. DOS has a wild story: his owner has been abducted by a Sention sim (a lifelike android made by Fashion Robotics), and Pablo will be next. Welcome to Book 1 of RNWY Universe. See a full history, technological specs, and take the "AI Citizenship Test" at RNWYUniverse.com. FROM THE AUTHOR "As with the Marvel movies, my books are very much explorations of character. But my characters aren't 'chosen ones.' They're ordinary people who do extraordinary things using compassion, wit, humor, and kindness: even when their choices are difficult. RNWY: Book 1 is also about some of the ways technology will challenge some our basic assumptions about life: and how we can rise to the occasion with expanded notions of family and love. The next step for the book is as a graphic novel series and motion picture. You can follow RNWY Universe as it develops on Instagram @RNWYUniverse and at www.RNWYUniverse.com."
