The peace of the galaxy is shattered when the planet Toran explodes, an intelligent civilization driven instantly to extinction.

Crew members are abandoning their duty and fleeing across the galaxy. Commander Damon Kramer, now dealing with an aggressive brain tumor caused by the Thermians, must find a way to prepare his small and vulnerable station for the coming war-despite lack of resources, malfunctioning equipment, and his own impending death! The galaxy is turned on its head, the alliance with the Community unraveling, and everything you thought you knew about the Voyage Into the Unknown universe may be a lie...in a cataclysmic and shocking COUNTDOWN TO WAR!

Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
Childress takes us around the world and back in his trippy finale to the Lost Cities series. He is off on an adventure in search of the apocalypse and end times. He has flipped out, and more. Childress hits the road from the fortress of Megiddo, the legendary fortress in northern Israel where Armageddon is prophesised to start. Hitchhiking around the world, Childress takes us from one adventure to another, to ancient cities in the deserts and the legends of worlds before our own. Childress muses on the rising and falling of civilisations and the forces that have shaped mankind over the millennia, including wars, invasions and cataclysms. He discusses the ancient wars of the past, including evidence for ancient atomic wars, and relates the dim past with the present and dim future. With humour, philosophical insight, and wonder at the amazing world around us, Childress shows us the many traces of advanced civilisation in the past, and how we should look at them differently than modern scientists currently do.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Prometheus comes the first effort to set the Cuban Missile Crisis, with its potential for nuclear holocaust, in a wider historical narrative of the Cold War—how such a crisis arose and why, at the very last possible moment, it never happened. “Fresh and thrilling....

Blindsight
Author: Peter Watts
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1429955198
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
