Book Description
ALTERNATE REALITY SCI-FI THRILLER If you believe in the Simulation Theory that our universe is a hologram, a virtual reality, then this speculative fiction, high-octane adventure is for you! In the future, people no longer read books to learn about the past. Instead, they experience history by virtually living through the historic times like they were actually there when the monumental events played out. But the future is here and we are Learning Earth's Deathly History! Our spirits are immersed in a virtual reality built to perfectly simulate life on Earth in the early 21st century. We are here learning the cataclysmic mistakes of humankind that ultimately destroyed Earth. Part-One: The Journey Ends, sets the stage for Learning Earth's Deathly History. Our incredible reality is explained including the mighty armada of starships where our factual bodies are kept in individual life-cells. In Part-Two: Learning Earth's Deathly History, we tragically witness the horrors of World War III including the unholy post-apocalyptic nightmare that follows. The virtual reality history lesson eerily mirrors current events happening in our ideologically divided world. Maybe that is why this scenario, which cascades overnight into a full-on nuclear world war, is so believable. No other story paints such horrific suffering and disturbing post-apocalyptic scenery of the last war of humanity. In Part-Three: The Awakenings Begin, our virtual reality history lesson ends when we Dreamers are spiritually awakened only to discover we have never actually lived on Earth, nor are we anywhere near the dead planet. Even more amazing, we discover we were born and living in massive starships parked a thousand light-years from Earth. Once awakened, get ready to take an adrenaline pumping thrill ride into outer space to tour the fleet of Great Ships before arriving at Grand Cosmic Station! Learning Earth's Deathly History, is a virtual reality, post-apocalyptic, sci-fi journey unlike anything you've ever read or watched!

Book Description
Since the beginning of the universe, the giant starship wandered the emptiest reaches of space, without crew or course, much less any clear purpose. But humans found the relic outside the Milky Way, and after taking possession, they named their prize the Great Ship and embarked on a bold voyage through the galaxy’s civilized hearts. Larger than worlds, the Great Ship is laced with caverns and oceans, scenes of exalted beauty and corners where no creature has ever stood. Habitats can be created for every intelligent species, provided that the passengers can pay for the honor of a berth, and the human captains make the rules and dispense the justice in what soon becomes thousands of alien species joined a wild, unpredictable journey. The first Great Ship story was "The Remoras”, published in 1994 by THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION. All but the most recent titles in the series have been included in this volume, arranged in a rough chronological order, each story partly rewritten to capture the author’s growing expertise in the starship. New material has been added to bridge the centuries, hopefully enriching the resident confusion. Robert Reed is the author of a dozen science fiction novels, including two titles about the Great Ship: MARROW and THE WELL OF STARS, both from Tor Books. He has also published more than two hundred shorter works, winning a Hugo in 2007 for his novella, "A Billion Eves”. Reed is a long-term resident of Lincoln, Nebraska.

Book Description
In The Well of Stars, Hugo award-nominated author Robert Reed has written a stunning sequel to his acclaimed novel Marrow. The Great Ship, so vast that it contains within its depths a planet that lay undiscovered for generations, has cruised through the universe for untold billions of years. After a disastrous exploration of the planet, Marrow, the Ship's captains face an increasingly restive population aboard their mammoth vessel. And now, compounding the captains' troubles, the Ship is heading on an irreversible course straight for the Ink Well, a dark, opaque nebula. Washen and Pamir, the captains who saved Marrow from utter destruction, send Mere, whose uncanny ability to adapt to and understand other cultures makes her the only one for the job, to investigate the nebula before they plunge blindly in. While Mere is away, Pamir discovers in the Ink Well the presence of a god-like entity with powers so potentially destructive that it might destroy the ship and its millions. Faced with an entity that might prevent the Ship from ever leaving the Ink Well, the Ship's only hope now rests in the ingenuity of the vast crew . . . and with Mere, who has not contacted them since she left the Ship... With the excitement of epic science fiction adventure set against a universe full of wonders, the odyssey of the Ship and its captains will capture the hearts of science fiction readers.
