Download or read book Childhood s End written by Arthur C. Clarke and published by RosettaBooks. This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Retro Hugo Award–nominated novel that inspired the Syfy miniseries, alien invaders bring peace to Earth—at a grave price: “A first-rate tour de force” (The New York Times). In the near future, enormous silver spaceships appear without warning over mankind’s largest cities. They belong to the Overlords, an alien race far superior to humanity in technological development. Their purpose is to dominate Earth. Their demands, however, are surprisingly benevolent: end war, poverty, and cruelty. Their presence, rather than signaling the end of humanity, ushers in a golden age . . . or so it seems. Without conflict, human culture and progress stagnate. As the years pass, it becomes clear that the Overlords have a hidden agenda for the evolution of the human race that may not be as benevolent as it seems. “Frighteningly logical, believable, and grimly prophetic . . . Clarke is a master.” —Los Angeles Times

Book excerpt: In Europe, Men Fought A War To End All Wars. In Galveston, They Fought To Survive... In Europe, the guns had gone silent. But in Texas, the spirit of the Wild West still lived-and the town of Galveston belonged lock, stock, and barrel to a handful of criminal overlords. Kingpins of vice, gambling, liquor, and big-time show business, the overlords didn't count on a stubborn, Hollywood stuntman who inherited his uncle's bank and a grudge. Nor could they predict that one Texas Ranger and a beautiful woman were daring enough to take on an undercover assignment-and try to shut down America's paradise of gambling. Now, a dangerous brew of mobsters, flappers, traitors, lovers and lawmen is about to explode in a sin city by the sea. And the only question left is who will still be standing when the last man goes down...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dragons are real. A draconic apocalypse is poised to strike at Humanity. Just one wyrm stands in the way. As a young dragon living by the ideals of virtue and honor, Dauria wanted nothing more than to live in peace and harmony with Humanity. When that failed, she helped establish a pact that forced Dragonkind into the shadows. When she awakens after millennia of slumber, she finds the Earth a very different place than she remembers. To make matters worse, upon exiting her lair she finds herself stripped of all her draconic power and left to freeze, in human form, on the icy heights of her mountain home. Someone doesn’t want her to rejoin the rest of her kind. Someone sabotaged her from the moment she awakened. Someone wants nothing more than to begin a full-scale war between humans and dragons with the fate of the Earth in the balance. Somehow, Dauria has to find a way to overcome every obstacle placed in front of her and make her way to the Dragon Council. Who will prevent the coming war if not her? But how can she do that with no power and not even the strength of her dragon form to aid her?

Download or read book The Man Who Mastered Time written by Raymond King Cummings and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-08-16 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raymond King Cummings' 'The Man Who Mastered Time' is a quintessential work of early science fiction that delves into the complexities and paradoxes of time travel. With a narrative rich in speculative wonder, Cummings' literary style marries a brisk pace with methodical scientific curiosity, set against the backdrop of the genre's golden era. The novel stands as a testament to the period's fascination with temporal exploration and its broader implications on the human condition. The literary context of this novel hails from an era that bore witness to the burgeoning science fiction landscape, one which Cummings distinctly influenced with his imaginative propositions and his unique vision of the future. Cummings, an influential figure in the sci-fi community, often intertwined his interest in the possibilities of science with his vivid imagination, resulting in stories that were both grounded in scientific plausibility and wildly creative. It's likely that 'The Man Who Mastered Time' was born from both his personal fascination with the concept of time and the emerging theories of the early 20th century that challenged traditional notions of a linear, immutable chronology. For lovers of classic science fiction, 'The Man Who Mastered Time' offers a journey that is as intellectually stimulating as it is entertaining. Cummings' prowess in weaving a tale that both honors the scientific inquiries of its time and transcends decades with its relevance is a rare find. The book beckons the modern reader to dive into the origins of sci-fi literature, where the foundations of today's beloved time-travel tropes were first forged. In enjoying this work, one not only partakes in a thrilling narrative but also in the celebration of a genre's heritage.

Download or read book The Corporate Overlords Will Be Kind Campaign Finance Representation and Corporate Led Democracy written by Radu George Dumitrescu and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Corporate Overlords will be Kind' is a unique book in that it makes use of a multi-pronged approach - journalistic, legal, theoretical - to find, document, and explain instances in which well-known corporations such as Wal-Mart, Uber, McDonald's, Airbnb, Gillette, Nike and others have involved themselves, as 'artificial persons', in political and social debates involving aspects such as gender, racism, sexual minorities, and gun ownership. This book argues that these transnational, multi-billion-dollar corporations that thrive in the globalized world market are forced to take explicitly political stances by the very environment in which they activate and by the consumers whom they serve, taking on the latter's values and opinions and representing them to retain them as customers. 'The Corporate Overlords will be Kind' advances that corporations are now - and will increasingly be - the loudest voices in the political market square of the United States, but that such a situation is not necessarily a cause for concern. This book thus departs from the traditional scholarly views of Citizens United (the 2010 landmark decision of the Supreme Court which granted free speech to corporations as persons) as a woe to democracy, and argues that the ageless, deathless, genderless, nationless corporations will be the political representatives of the futures, not political parties. This book will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students specializing in social sciences, particularly politics, history, sociology, and law. Political professionals and journalists may also be interested in the book, in addition to the general reader with interest in politics.
