Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Battle Mars Series This omnibus edition of the Battle Mars series contains all four books: Genocide, Fallout, Colony and Reboot. Earth is a write off. Let's move to Mars. What could go wrong? Over 80% of life on Earth is stolen in four weeks, leaving 8 billion humans without food, water, or even viable soil. Weather patterns shift causing tornados, raging fires, and rapid freezing. The governments quickly collapse in every country and people are stranded with nowhere to run. It's climate change on steroids, but this isn't even remotely a natural phenomenon. Book One: Genocide Jace and his dog, Oscar, are taking care of the herd in Colorado when the biggest tornados he's ever seen rip the earth to pieces, taking trees, cows, water, and everything else they need to live. Across America and in every country the seeds of life are sucked up into the sky. People are seeking sanctuary, but every door is closed until Jace meets a slick billionaire who claims to have a spaceship. Book Two: Fallout Titan, better known as Big Bertha, was designed as the first ship and habitat to support human life on Mars. Billions are dying topside while Jace and his team are safe inside Bertha's underground base, or are they? The unfolding disaster on Earth is looking less like a natural event and more like an intentional act of terrorism, but to what end? With two kids in tow, and a completely untrained crew, Jace is forced to make a tough decision. Book Three: Colony Jace and his crew make a home on Mars, but they're not alone. There is life on Mars, far more than anyone expected. Unable to explain how Apollo beat him to the punch, Jace spies on his enemy looking for answers. Truth is stranger than fiction. If Jace and his crew don't take control of Mars, Apollo's plan for what's left of mankind is a massive step backward. Book Four: Reboot The call to arms doesn't go unheard and every man and woman pivots into the fight. It's a desperate battle across two planets for what little is left, and Jace hits Apollo with everything he's got. In a winner-takes-all battle, who gets to decide man's place in the Universe? Jace gets his answer, and it's nothing he could have seen coming. Non-stop, fast-paced action.

Download or read book Mars Adapting written by Francis Hoffman and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Clausewitz observed, “In war more than anywhere else, things do not turn out as we expect.” The essence of war is a competitive reciprocal relationship with an adversary. Commanders and institutional leaders must recognize shortfalls and resolve gaps rapidly in the middle of the fog of war. The side that reacts best (and absorbs faster) increases its chances of winning. Mars Adapting examines what makes some military organizations better at this contest than others. It explores the institutional characteristics or attributes at play in learning quickly. Adaptation requires a dynamic process of acquiring knowledge, the utilization of that knowledge to alter a unit’s skills, and the sharing of that learning to other units to integrate and institutionalize better operational practice. Mars Adapting explores the internal institutional factors that promote and enable military adaptation. It employs four cases, drawing upon one from each of the U.S. armed services. Each case was an extensive campaign, with several cycles of action/counteraction. In each case the military institution entered the war with an existing mental model of the war they expected to fight. For example, the U.S. Navy prepared for decades to defeat the Japanese Imperial Navy and had developed carried-based aviation. Other capabilities, particularly the Fleet submarine, were applied as a major adaptation. The author establishes a theory called Organizational Learning Capacity that captures the transition of experience and knowledge from individuals into larger and higher levels of each military service through four major steps. The learning/change cycle is influenced, he argues, by four institutional attributes (leadership, organizational culture, learning mechanisms, and dissemination mechanisms). The dynamic interplay of these institutional enablers shaped their ability to perceive and change appropriately.
