Book Description
In 3045, humanity stood on the brink of an advanced Earth where technology thrived. The year 3045 brought an era of flying vehicles and towering skyscrapers that touched the sky, sufficient necessities that supported humanity's existence and made Earth healthier for humanity. Humanity aims to break its limits by further exploring the cosmos. Thus, the Galactic Defense Coalition (GDC) assembled the bravest and best elite space force known as “The Vanguard” to protect the Earth from potential extraterrestrial threats or invading aliens. Zuri, Orion, and Ilya formed The Vanguard (elite and gallant space soldiers sent by the GDC to explore the cosmos). Mysteriously, they discovered an unknown planet named Elysium-9. Elysium-9 is a colorful sphere pulsating with luminescent energy that sparkles like a jewel amidst the cosmos habited by friendly space habitats (aliens) known as Elysians. An invading Alien force (Zyrthians’ armies) destroyed Elysium-9 despite their technological capabilities. Zyrthians are armies of invasion space forces that suppress and conquer other planets in the galaxy. They are known as the galaxy’s oppressors, who specialize in exploiting plants’ defense vulnerabilities before mining for their resources and knowledge. They aim to become superior to other space celestial creatures in the universe. Enslaving other beings is also part of their invading agenda. Unknown to The Vanguard, a second Zyrthians’ space fleet secretly penetrated and destroyed Earth as well. Massively advanced drones from the alien’s mothership attacked and eventually destroyed Earth. Earth’s defenses, including warships and fighter jets, were no match for the space invaders. Humanity's advanced cities became ruined and deserted, like what happened in Elysium-9. Eventually, the Zyrthians (enemy aliens) made Earthlings start to live in forests like animals. The forests remain the only place with lesser alien activity. Anyone who stays in the ruined cities risks being shot by alien drones at first sight without mercy or taken hostage by Zyrthians’ aliens. Find out in many of this book series if The Vanguard could defeat the unwelcomed extraterrestrials with such superior weaponry in their quest to safeguard Earth and other planets in the galaxy from wicked space forces.

Homo Deus
Author: Yuval Noah Harari
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062464353
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
Official U.S. edition with full color illustrations throughout. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity’s future, and our quest to upgrade humans into gods. Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. This may seem hard to accept, but, as Harari explains in his trademark style—thorough, yet riveting—famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonalds than from being blown up by Al Qaeda. What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda? As the self-made gods of planet earth, what destinies will we set ourselves, and which quests will we undertake? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century—from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? This is the next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus. With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.

One thing is clear: the war to come will be a fight for the very survival of the species. For both sides in this conflict, now is the time to become what fate, and victory, demand. The Savages--post-human monsters who believe themselves to be gods--are intent on remaking civilization in their own violent and pathological image. Yet their alliance is tenuous.

They will be pushed beyond their physical and mental limits as they seek to survive an unforgiving planet, lost and derelict ghost spaceships, and worst of all, the cold, unflinching brutality of Tyrus Rechs.

A Little History of the World
Author: E. H. Gombrich
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300213972
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
E. H. Gombrich's Little History of the World, though written in 1935, has become one of the treasures of historical writing since its first publication in English in 2005. The Yale edition alone has now sold over half a million copies, and the book is available worldwide in almost thirty languages. Gombrich was of course the best-known art historian of his time, and his text suggests illustrations on every page. This illustrated edition of the Little History brings together the pellucid humanity of his narrative with the images that may well have been in his mind's eye as he wrote the book. The two hundred illustrations—most of them in full color—are not simple embellishments, though they are beautiful. They emerge from the text, enrich the author's intention, and deepen the pleasure of reading this remarkable work. For this edition the text is reset in a spacious format, flowing around illustrations that range from paintings to line drawings, emblems, motifs, and symbols. The book incorporates freshly drawn maps, a revised preface, and a new index. Blending high-grade design, fine paper, and classic binding, this is both a sumptuous gift book and an enhanced edition of a timeless account of human history.
