Mercury’s Bane (Earth Dawning)

They’re all gone. We remember them like yesterday: pieces of our stolen heritage. Things like NASA. Football. Parades and pies. Good things, comfortable things. We remember a time when we were alone in the universe, safe and oblivious.

But it’s all gone now.

We called them the Telestines, and in the face of their ruthless invasion we were powerless. By 2040, all the world’s governments and militaries had fallen, and the remnants of humanity exiled to the solar system. We looked down on our blue planet, so close to our birthplace, so close to our home. But the miles may as well have been light-years.

Our anger smoldered in the darkness of space. On Mars. On Ganymede. In the dank, crowded filth of the asteroids. We swore: We will take our planet back.

And today it begins. Our fleet is ready. Our soldiers determined.

Earth will be ours again.

The Phantom of the Earth: An Epic Sci-Fi Saga, Books 1-5

Herbert’s Dune meets Banks’ The Player of Games in The Phantom of the Earth, a spellbinding science fiction epic set deep underground after the fall of civilization on Earth’s surface.

Here are the five thought-provoking postapocalyptic stories that lovers of science fiction can’t stop talking about, gathered together in one volume for the first time. The futuristic theories, conspiracies, political maneuvering, and characters within these visionary tales will stay with you long after you finish.

In the Great Commonwealth of Beimeni, a subterranean civilization in North America, expansion long ago gave way to peace and prosperity in the face of the history’s most devastating plague. Immortality is the reward for service and loyalty in Beimeni, a place where the physical blends with the metaphysical and power consolidates in the hands of those with a genetic edge. The fissures first spread slowly, then swiftly, until now the Great Commonwealth finds itself on the brink of economic devastation, challenged by forces from within that know its secrets and its crimes.

At the center of the conflict lie the Selendias of Piscator, founders of the resistance with an uncanny connection to the zeropoint field; and the Barão Strike Team, three researchers tasked with finding a cure to the Reassortment Strain, the plague that nearly wiped humanity from the Earth. Traveling from the uninhabitable but pristine surface to the habitable but inhospitable underground, this is a story about dedication to dreams, battle for survival, discovery and connection, song and celebration, undoing past misdeeds, and sacrifice for the greater good.

Quotes & Biography: Of 50 greatest people ever been on earth

This book covers the life events, biography and famous quotes of the 50 greatest and most influential personalities that ever existed on earth. The 50 greatest personalities are divided into seven different categories such as great conquerors, most influential leaders, great administrators, philosophers who seek wisdom, discoverers and historians, great scientists who changed the life of humans and currently the world’s most famous and influential politicians. . The book compiled by the author may contain some controversial personalities and there will be people who may not agree with the mentioned personalities with the likes of JOSEPH STALIN and ADOLF HITLER etc. but the fact of the matter is these bad people had so much influence on the human race that we cannot neglect them. The people chosen by the author of this book are the ones who had a great influence on humans thinking in their respective fields. . There is only one great personality which we mentioned above all, namely the prophet MUHAMMAD because he exerts so much influence on the humans way of thinking and life which cannot be matched. He also was a conquerer who lead a tiny army of 300 warriors and built a giant state; he was a leader who raised a great movement for humans right at a time when the Arab community was passing through a dark period. He was an administrator who administrated the STATE OF MADINA so brilliantly that the different tribes of Madina pledged allegiance to the state of Madina voluntarily. He was a philosopher who changed the way of thinking of the entire human race towards life, women and justice, he was a scientist who showed the humans methods of curing many fatal diseases which even modern day science is following. These are some of the reasons which give prophet Muhammad a place in the history that has no rival.

Bones of the Earth

World-renowned paleontologist Richard Leyster’s universe changed forever the day a stranger named Griffin walked into his office with a remarkable job offer… and an ice cooler containing the head of a freshly killed Stegosaurus.

For Leyster and a select group of scientific colleagues, an impossible fantasy has come true: the ability to study dinosaurs up close, in their own era and milieu. But tampering with time and paradox can have disastrous effects on the future and the past alike, breeding a violent new strain of fundamentalist terror―and, worse still, encouraging brilliant rebels like Dr. Gertrude Salley to toy with the working mechanisms of natural law, no matter what the consequences. And when they concern the largest, most savage creatures that ever walked the Earth, the consequences may be too horrifying to imagine.

Paleontologist Richard Leyster is studying the dinosaur-fossil discovery of a lifetime when a stranger comes into his office with an ice cooler and an offer: a mysterious and dangerous job that pays no better than Leyster’s beloved current position at the Smithsonian. He rejects the offer and the stranger departs, leaving the cooler. Leyster opens the cooler and finds the head of a just-slain stegosaur. It really is an offer he can’t refuse: a job that will allow him to study living dinosaurs. But the stranger has disappeared, and Leyster has no idea where to find him.

Expanded from his Hugo Award-winning story “Scherzo with Tyrannosaur,” Michael Swanwick’s Bones of the Earth is a time-travel novel as exciting as Jurassic Park and far more intelligent. In addition to the Hugo, Michael Swanwick has won the Nebula, World Fantasy, and Theodore Sturgeon Awards. His previous books include the novels In the Drift, Vacuum Flowers, and Griffin’s Egg, and his collections include Gravity’s Angels, A Geography of Unknown Lands, and Moon Dogs, among others. –Cynthia Ward

The only problem is…he’s on board! The huge, and long-running public interest in new Torchwood adventures resulted in a server melt-down when this release was announced by star John Barrowman on his Sunday night radio slot. Gareth David-Lloyd’s Ianto Jones character was so popular that when he died in Torchwood – Children of Earth, a shrine to him in Cardiff became a newsworthy item for some months! Writer James Goss wrote several best-selling Torchwood hardback books, and most recently launched his novel Haterz, looking at social media personalities. This is the second of a much-anticipated set of six stories running monthly until April 2016. CAST: Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto Jones), Zeynep (Lisa Zahra).
