Book excerpt: Sci-fi action meets steamy paranormal romance in Gini Koch’s Alien novels, as Katherine “Kitty” Katt faces off against aliens, conspiracies, and deadly secrets. • “Futuristic high-jinks and gripping adventure.” —RT Reviews Being newlyweds and new parents is challenging enough. But nothing's ever easy for Jeff and Kitty-Katt Martini, particularly not when they have to switch from being super-being exterminators and Commanders in Centaurion Division to mastering the political landscape as the new heads of American Centaurion's Diplomatic Corps. Kitty's brand of diplomacy and lobbying isn't quite as smooth as Jeff's—but when a shadowy assassination plot and a new set of anti-alien conspirators are identified, Kitty's the diplomat for the job—in between "Mommy and Me," "Diplomacy for Beginners," and the dreaded "Washington Wife" classes. Armed with only their wits, and dressed to kill, it's up to Kitty and the Diplomatic Corps to stop the bad guys from unleashing mayhem on all the world's leaders. But will Kitty trust the right people, at the right times, or will going her own way prove deadly—not just to her, but to her daughter, Jamie? Alien Diplomacy is the fifth installment of the thrilling Alien novels.
Download or read book Alien Contact and Diplomacy Get it Right or We Suffer written by Simon Drake and published by Simon Drake. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would aliens use Facebook to communicate with us rather than trust our politicians? Earth may be regarded as having an oddity, a zoo, or something of an amusement. The universe is a wild place, we're part of it, but what is it? To understand how Aliens sees us, we first have to understand our own history of exploration, contact and diplomacy, like when the Old World powers with the New World tribes. Earth history is littered with cruel jokes on unwitting peoples, where the collision of East Meets West ends with a party screwed over, or just wiped out of existence. Why should Earth's destiny among other races of the universe be any different? Fortunately, we can all agree on the implications of mixing with advanced alien cultures, yet technology shifts the means by which alien contact and diplomacy wants to integrate with our digital world. The responsibility for contact has moved from military elites and those in the know to the contrary, connected public. Soon, now, or a day in the future, we want to make real alien contact and our diplomacy either wants to have it subjugated and naively enslaved, or equipped with knowledge and technology that enables us to explore the stars.
Download or read book Galactic Diplomacy Getting to Yes with Et written by Dr Michael E. Salla and published by . This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces first hand witness and whistleblower testimonies revealing that the USA, Britain, Russia and other major national governments have been secretly conducting, or known about, diplomatic relations with different extraterrestrial civilizations since at least 1952. Galactic diplomacy (aka 'exodiplomacy') with extraterrestrial visitors began with discussions over the development of thermonuclear weapons, the first of which was detonated by the Truman administration in November, 1952. Diplomatic discussions then expanded to include issues such as technology development, alien bases, extraterrestrials living on Earth, human rights, and use of earth resources. In frustration over lack of government transparency with their citizens, some extraterrestrials began contacting private citizens to inform them of the true nature of alien activities on Earth, and relations with governments. The reader will be introduced to the basic principles of international diplomacy and how these apply to different extraterrestrial civilizations visiting Earth. Those desiring to expose secret government activity in diplomatic relations with extraterrestrial life, will be given the necessary information to hold responsible government, military and corporate officials accountable for past policies; and to ensure government transparency in the future. Alternatively, those desiring to become active in citizen diplomacy initiatives, will be given essential information for discerning the motivations and activities of visiting extraterrestrial civilizations. This is indispensable for practicing a citizen based form of galactic diplomacy. This book prepares readers for the grandest adventure of all - the journey to galactic citizenship!
Download or read book Alien Into Charybdis written by Alex White and published by Titan Books (US, CA). This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The critically acclaimed author of Alien: The Cold Forge takes readers to a rogue colony where terror lurks in the tunnels of an abandoned Weyland-Yutani complex. “Shy” Hunt and the tech team from McAllen Integrations thought it was an easy job—set up environmental systems for the brand new Hasanova Data Solutions colony, built on the abandoned ruins of a complex known as “Charybdis.” There are just two problems: the colony belongs to the Iranian state, so diplomacy is strained at best, and the complex is located above a series of hidden caves. Charybdis has a darker history than any could imagine, and its depths harbor deadly secrets. Until their ship can be refueled, the McAllen team is trapped there. The deeper they dig, the more Shy is convinced there's no one they can believe. When a bizarre ship lands on a nearby island, one of the workers is attacked by a taloned creature, and trust evaporates between the Iranians and Americans. The McAllen integrations crew are imprisoned, accused as spies, but manage to send out a distress signal... to the Colonial Marines.
Download or read book Diplomacy by Design written by Marian H. Feldman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2006-05-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the fourteenth and thirteenth centuries BCE, the kings of Egypt, Babylonia, Assyria, and Hatti participated in a complex international community. These two hundred years also witnessed the production of luxurious artworks made of gold, ivory, alabaster, and faience--objects that helped to foster good relations among the kingdoms. In fact, as Marian H. Feldman makes clear here, art and international relations during the Late Bronze Age formed an unprecedented symbiosis, in concert with expanded travel and written communications across the Mediterranean. And thus diplomacy was invigorated through the exchange of lavish art objects and luxury goods, which shared a repertoire of imagery that modern scholars have called the first International Style in the history of art. Previous studies have focused almost exclusively on stylistic attribution of these objects at the expense of social contextualization. Feldman's Diplomacy by Design instead examines the profound connection between art produced during this period and its social and political contexts, revealing inanimate objects as catalysts--or even participants--in human dynamics. Feldman's fascinating study shows the ways in which the diplomatic circulation of these works actively mediated and strengthened political relations, intercultural interactions, and economic negotiations and she does so through diverse disciplinary frameworks including art history, anthropology, and social history. Written by a specialist in ancient Near Eastern art and archaeology who has excavated and traveled extensively in this area of the world, Diplomacy by Design considers anew the symbolic power of material culture and its centrality in the construction of human relations.

This book was released on 2024-10-10 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Clara Bennett’s second book, following “Roswell Revealed: The Untold Story Of America’s Most Famous UFO Incident.” This book delves into humanity's long-standing quest to understand the cosmos, tracing this journey from ancient civilizations to modern scientific endeavors. It highlights how early societies like the Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans developed intricate mythologies and astronomical systems to interpret the stars and celestial phenomena. The narrative emphasizes the evolution of astronomical exploration, showing how ancient stargazing laid the foundation for contemporary astronomy. This historical perspective underscores humanity's enduring curiosity and the continuous quest for knowledge about the universe. The book also discusses the role of media and popular culture in shaping public perceptions of extraterrestrial phenomena, particularly UFO sightings. It warns against jumping to conclusions without proper investigation, as sensationalism can lead to myths and exaggerations. The “Goldilocks Zone” concept is introduced, which refers to the habitable zone around stars where life could exist. This idea expands our understanding of the conditions necessary for life beyond Earth and encourages the exploration of diverse environments where life might thrive. The book touches on the Fermi Paradox, which highlights the contradiction between the high probability of extraterrestrial civilizations and the lack of evidence for their existence. This paradox fuels debates about the nature of advanced civilizations and the challenges in making contact with them. The pursuit of technosignatures, or markers of advanced extraterrestrial intelligence, is presented as a key aspect of humanity's insatiable curiosity and quest for knowledge. This search represents a significant frontier in our exploration of the cosmos. The conclusion of Clara Bennet’s book reflects on the transformative journey of interstellar travel, emphasizing humanity's relentless pursuit of discovery and the potential for technological innovation to open new frontiers in space exploration. Overall, the book weaves a narrative that celebrates human curiosity and the relentless drive to unravel the mysteries of the universe, from ancient stargazing to the search for extraterrestrial life and beyond.
