Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the latest since the attack of the Globuster Lord, the decision-makers of the Solar Union have been aware that Humanity is under the influence of unknown cosmic powers. Scorge, a merchant traveller from the star system Gamma Draconis, proves to be a peaceful visitor. With a distinctive spaceship whose design features are strikingly reminiscent of Mayan pyramid structures, he caused a stir with his unconventional nature. The Shwakan, who has extensive knowledge of the Milky Way and the surrounding star systems, is a helpful partner and ally. In the meantime, the investigations in Antarctica around the destroyed Spike continue. In a crevasse, deep beneath the eternal ice, search teams come across an artefact that had been buried by the ice for many hundreds of thousands of years. What the researchers find in the sarcophagus-like object throws them into turmoil ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surprise visit of the cosmic dealer Scorge has triggered a process that no one expected. In the centre of Antarctica, deep beneath the eternal ice, ominous activity is being recorded. An eerie object is powerfully working its way to the surface, breaking through the ice of the southern continent. It eventually rises up like a giant spike. According to Scorge, it is the residence of a malevolent being he calls a Soulwanderer. The trader's warnings sound extremely worrying, for the attacker who has suddenly appeared is capable of taking possession of other living beings. When the first attack occurs, the Shwakan helps to ward off the attack. However, when he learns of the Globusters, he hastily flees and leaves the Solar System. Humans face a threat that is truly global in scale. The Solar Union is facing a foreign entity that is not interested in negotiations or talks. It sees only one task, which it intends to enforce with all available means, for it is the Globuster Lord ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Soulwanderer and his Spike pose the greatest threat in the history of the Solar Union. The extraterrestrial being, which resides in the eternal ice of Antarctica, is pursuing a sinister plan. It is determined to rob united humanity of all its modern achievements, to dominate and mentally subjugate every individual. The reasons for the extraterrestrial's actions are unknown. At this point, no one knows that the present is linked to the distant past. History seems to be repeating itself. Once before, a battle was fought on Earth against the Soulwanderer, but there were no humans who resolutely opposed him. While about a million years ago the Progonauts were fighting for survival, this time human civilisation is on the brink of extinction. In the greatest need and as a last means of defence, the leaders of the Solar Union use a special weapon. It is the Army of Nanobots.

Together with Toiber Arkroid, Vasina and Lai Pi, The Shwakan is following vague clues in search of the homeworld of an ancient robot civilisation. The trader is bound by a promise he made to 40028, a robot of this people that he recovered from an asteroid on a trading trip. Scorge follows the sparse clues and scans the supposed target system. Despite an extensive search, the centre world remains untraceable. The home of 40028 seems to have disappeared, just like the builders of the spherical robots, who anchored a high cosmic moral standard in the basic programming of their artificial creatures. Where have the brothers of the spherical robot gone? Scorge doesn’t give up and persists. He investigates every moon of Epsilon Indi, hoping to soon discover a trace of the Techno-Clerics.
Download or read book NEBULAR 3 Scorge written by Thomas Rabenstein and published by SciFi-World Medien Verlag. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Kuiper object Quaoar, a Solar Union team discovers a frozen alien life form. Roused from sleep by unknown mechanisms, the creature behaves in a hostile manner and attacks the space travellers. One crew member is killed during the attack, the rest escaped. At the last second, an emergency team is sent to save the lives of the astronauts. The shock of the encounter with an alien runs deep. Highly alarmed, people are watching the outskirts of the Solar System. Leading members of the Union Government and the Union Fleet fear that the so-called Globusters have taken up residence on various dwarf planets in the Kuiper belt. No one on Earth wants an escalation or even a military conflict with the aliens. Without knowing the plans and motivation of the intruders, a prognosis for the coming days and weeks is almost impossible. For the time being, the Union's space fleet and external bases are on the highest alert. Surprisingly, it is not the Globusters who cause renewed excitement but another visitor appears in the Solar System and astonishes the people. His name is Scorge.
Download or read book NEBULAR 2 Save Triton written by Thomas Rabenstein and published by SciFi-World Medien Verlag. This book was released on 2022-11-04 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Solar Union scout ship lands on the Kuiper object Quaoar. The crew, led by squadron leader Bill Davis, finds alien artefacts on the dwarf planet. The team enters an underground cavern and discovers a terrifying, frozen alien creature during their exploration. After the alien’s rigidity has given way, the spacemen have no choice but to flee. Through the extraterrestrial’s extreme bioelectric radiation, the humans receive fragments of its thoughts. The creature transmits an impulse that takes root in the minds of the landing team: Globuster! The bestial-looking creature behaves in an extremely hostile manner. Peaceful contact seems impossible. One crew member is killed in the collision, the others manage to escape from the Globuster cave. The bizarre intelligence creature begins to race, destroys the scout ship of the exploration team and starts a hunt for the survivors. It has the ability to detect other creatures by their mental aura. While trying to escape, Bill Davis and Caroline Tubian realise that they are inferior to the extraterrestrial in every way. Hand weapons they carry with them prove ineffective. The Globuster envelops itself in a protective field against which there seems to be no remedy. At the last second, a commando from the Triton Base appears and is able to evacuate the two astronauts. The alien retreats in the face of the supposed superiority and escapes in a lenticular spaceship. Before doing so, it triggers a fateful process and changes the orbital path of the dwarf planet. It now lies exactly on a collision course with Triton ...
Download or read book NEBULAR 1 The Triton Base written by Thomas Rabenstein and published by SciFi-World Medien Verlag. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEBULAR is a science fiction series that takes you to the year 2113. It is an era in which nation states are a thing of the past. United in the Solar Union, humanity faces its last great challenge: the exploration of the outer Solar System. The Union Fleet already maintains scientific outposts on the distant moons of the gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Private companies are prospecting for raw materials and spaceships shuttle between the planets. The causes of earlier civilisational setbacks, such as wars, disease and poverty, have been overcome. Around ten billion citizens of the Solar Union populate the Earth, and another 250 million people settle in the growing colonies on the Earth’s moon and Mars. The furthest outpost from Earth is on Neptune’s moon Triton. It is a frigid world populated mainly by scientists and private companies. The crew’s main task is to explore the Kuiper Belt with its dwarf planets, also called the Outer Ring. Astrophysicists use the remoteness of the celestial body to advance the search for extraterrestrial life. The scientists of the new SETI project use their receiving antennas to examine neighbouring stars for potential radio signals from alien civilisations. A total of around two thousand men and women are on duty at the Triton Base. The icy deserts on Jupiter’s moon Europa, the dust storms of Mars and the primordial hydrocarbon seas on Saturn’s moon Titan have been seen by space travellers from Earth with their own eyes, but so far they have not found extraterrestrial life. One of humanity’s most important goals remains to make peaceful contact with alien civilisations in space. Unconsciously, most scientists hope that these life forms are similar to us and that communication is possible. So far, the search has been unsuccessful, but this does not rule out the possibility that they exist in the vastness of space and are already observing us.

United in the Solar Union, Humanity faces its last great challenge: the exploration of the outer Solar System. The Union Fleet already maintains scientific outposts on the distant moons of the gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Private companies are mining for raw materials and large spaceships are travelling between the inner planets. The causes of earlier civilisational setbacks, such as wars, diseases and poverty, have been overcome. Around ten billion Union citizens populate the Earth, with another 250 million humans settling in the growing colonies on the Luna and Mars. The furthest outpost from Earth is located on Neptune's moon Triton. It is an icy cold world where mainly scientists and private companies are based. The crew's main task is to explore the Kuiper Belt, also known as the Outer Ring, with its numerous dwarf planets. Astrophysicists are using the remoteness of the celestial body to advance the search for extraterrestrial life. The scientists of the new SETI project use their receiving antennas to examine the neighbouring stars for potential radio signals from alien civilisations. A total of around two thousand humans are working on the Triton Base. Space travellers from Earth have seen the ice deserts on Jupiter's moon Europa, the dust storms of Mars and the primeval hydrocarbon seas on Saturn's moon Titan with their own eyes, but so far they have not found any extraterrestrial life. One of Humanity's most important goals remains to make peaceful contact with alien civilisations in space. Unconsciously, most scientists hope that these life forms are similar to us and that communication is possible. So far, the search has been unsuccessful, but this does not rule out the possibility that they exist in the infinite expanses of space and are already watching us.
