Book excerpt: Walter Masen A lead fighter pilot and his best friend walk into a space ship’s bar. If you think you can guess the punchline, you’d be wrong. Because that petite brunette who looks too delicate to defend herself from a couple of pushy thugs? She sends them out on stretchers—and I’m smitten. Lily Uribe is far more than just a pretty face. She is a Scorpion, one of an elite army of enhanced humans who once pried Earth from the iron grip of an alien race aptly named the “Uglies”—and are now regarded with suspicion by the very planet they saved. When we’re both assigned to be part of a mission to check a lush, green planet’s possibilities as a new Earth colony, I’m looking forward to finding to nice beach for an evening stroll with Lily. Until an alien fleet launches a surprise attack, leaving me a POW and Lily MIA. As the alien attacks grow increasingly intense, I’m beginning to wonder if Lily and I will get to have that first date. Or if Earth will ever find another place in the universe to call home. -------- A New Home Far from Earth is the first book in the exciting, funny, romantic adventure in the “Far from Earth” series. Features an ensemble cast, but it’s essentially Walter’s story. Walter and his friends’ adventures continue with book 2, A Deadly Journey Home, coming in July 2024, followed by book 3, A Wedding and a War, coming September 2024.

Book excerpt: We are at the cusp of a golden age in space science, as increasingly more entrepreneurs—Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos—are seduced by the commercial potential of human access to space. But Beyond Earth does not offer another wide-eyed technology fantasy: instead, it is grounded not only in the human capacity for invention and the appeal of adventure, but also in the bureaucratic, political, and scientific realities that present obstacles to space travel—realities that have hampered NASA's efforts ever since the Challenger disaster. In Beyond Earth, the authors offer groundbreaking research and argue persuasively that not Mars, but Titan—a moon of Saturn with a nitrogen atmosphere, a weather cycle, and an inexhaustible supply of cheap energy—offers the most realistic, and thrilling, prospect of life without support from Earth.

I couldn’t put it down.” —Brit Bennett, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Half “It’s a thrill to read this novel.” —Jia Tolentino, New York Times bestselling author of Trick Mirror The gripping story of one scientist in outer space, another who watches over him, the family left behind, and the lengths people will go to protect the people and planet they love For twenty years, Alex has believed that his gene-edited superalgae will slow and even reverse the effects of climate change. His obsession with his research has jeopardized his marriage, his relationships with his kids, and his own professional future. When the Son sisters, founders of the colossal tech company Sensus, offer him a chance to complete his research, he seizes the opportunity. The catch? His lab will be in outer space on Parallaxis, the first-ever luxury residential space station built for billionaires. Alex and six other scientists leave Earth and their loved ones to become Pioneers, the beta tenants of Parallaxis. But Parallaxis is not the space palace they were sold. Day and night, the embittered crew builds the facility under pressure from Sensus, motivated by the promise that their families will join them. At home on Earth, much of the country is ablaze in wildfires and battered by storms. In Michigan, Alex’s teenage daughter, Mary Agnes, struggles through high school with the help of the ubiquitous Sensus phones implanted in everyone’s ears that archive each humiliation, and wishes she could go to Parallaxis with her father—but her mother will never allow it. The Pioneers are the beta testers of another program, too: Sensus is designing an algorithm that will predict human behavior. Katherine Son hires Tess, a young social psychologist, to watch the experiment’s subjects through their phones—including not only the Pioneers, but Katherine’s sister, Rachel. Tess begins to develop an intimate, obsessive relationship with her subjects. When Tess and Rachel travel to Parallaxis, the controlled experiment begins to unravel. Prescient and insightful, A House Between Earth and the Moon is at once a captivating epic about the machinations of big tech and a profoundly intimate meditation on the unmistakably human bonds that hold us together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The physical earth is clearly under unprecedented siege—heated, toxified, scraped. But almost as if they were antibodies, the finest nature writers of any era have come forward to help in the fight. This anthology collects many of the most important, at their most eloquent. May it ring and echo and do some good!"—Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature "This is a stunning collection of vivid writing about landscapes and the people who inhabit them. The diverse narratives gathered here do more than describe hawks diving and twigs snapping, although the book has its share of moving accounts of the natural world. A concern to live responsibily in nature runs through this evocative anthology like a subterranean stream, and that moral impulse, together with the lively prose, makes this the best collection of nature writing I've seen."—Thomas A. Tweed, editor of Retelling U.S. Religious History

Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Finished in 1947 and lost to readers until now, House of Earth is legendary folk singer and American icon Woody Guthrie’s only finished novel. A powerful portrait of Dust Bowl America, it’s the story of an ordinary couple’s dreams of a better life and their search for love and meaning in a corrupt world. Tike and Ella May Hamlin are struggling to plant roots in the arid land of the Texas panhandle. The husband and wife live in a precarious wooden farm shack, but Tike yearns for a sturdy house that will protect them from the treacherous elements. Thanks to a five-cent government pamphlet, Tike has the know-how to build a simple adobe dwelling, a structure made from the land itself—fireproof, windproof, Dust Bowl-proof. A house of earth. A story of rural realism and progressive activism, and in many ways a companion piece to Guthrie’s folk anthem “This Land Is Your Land,” House of Earth is a searing portrait of hardship and hope set against a ravaged landscape. Combining the moral urgency and narrative drive of John Steinbeck with the erotic frankness of D. H. Lawrence, here is a powerful tale of America from one of our greatest artists. An essay by bestselling historian Douglas Brinkley and Johnny Depp introduce House of Earth, the inaugural title in Depp’s imprint at HarperCollins, Infinitum Nihil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, renowned scientists describe the various techniques used to detect and characterize extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, with a view to unveiling the “tricks of the trade” of planet detection to a wider community. The radial velocity method, transit method, microlensing method, and direct imaging method are all clearly explained, drawing attention to their advantages and limitations and highlighting the complementary roles that they can play in improving the characterization of exoplanets’ physical and orbital properties. By probing the planetary frequency at different distances and in different conditions, these techniques are helping astrophysicists to reconstruct the scenarios of planetary formation and to give robust scientific answers to questions regarding the frequency of potentially habitable worlds. Twenty years have passed since the discovery of a Jupiter-mass companion to a main sequence star other than the Sun, heralding the birth of extrasolar planetary research; this book fully conveys the exciting progress that has been achieved during the intervening period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God’s word, his stories, surround us every day. We listen to podcasts, read books, and frequent our daily devotionals, but do we really allow our lives to change? Does God’s story become our story? Do we allow God to walk us back to true fellowship and relationship with Him? Or does our sporadic connection with God’s story lie beautifully on the surface impressing others around us without absorbing deep within who we are? Even though the Bible is the greatest story written, it sits on our shelf positioned strategically allowing us to feel we are of the spiritual realm. But what if we pulled it from our shelf and opened it? Would we allow the stories of Adam, Abraham and Sarah change our lives? Would we see the God who saw Hagar? Or would we become frustrated reading a book penned centuries ago because it seems inapplicable and dry? In The Walk Back to Eden, authors Melody Westbrook and Emileigh Ziebka take you on a journey through the Old Testament. You will walk through the garden of Eden, into the wilderness, and be locked inside a boat. You will feel the dirt between your toes walking the roads of Canaan, feel the heartfelt loss as Adam and Eve were kicked out of paradise, and sit in the quiet of the unformed universe. This book offers practical lessons for today taken from a book written centuries ago. You will not want to miss this journey!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unveils the spiritual meaning that fueled the artistic, political, and social revolutions of the 1960s • Investigates the spiritual principles that informed everything from the civil rights and anti-war movements, to the hippies’ rejection of materialist culture, to the rise of feminism, gay rights, and environmentalism • Reveals how medieval troubadours, Gnosticism, Renaissance hermetic magic, and the occult doctrines of Aleister Crowley helped shape the psychedelic Sixties • Offers in-depth analysis of many of the era’s most famous books, films, and music No decade in modern history has generated more controversy and divisiveness than the tumultuous 1960s. For some, the ‘60s were an era of free love, drugs, and social revolution. For others, the Sixties were an ungodly rejection of all that was good and holy. Embarking on a profound search for the spiritual meaning behind the massive social upheavals of the 1960s, Tobias Churton turns a kaleidoscopic lens on religious and esoteric history, industry, science, philosophy, art, and social revolution to identify the meaning behind all these diverse movements. Engaging with views of mainstream historians, some of whom write off this pivotal decade as heralding an overall decline in moral values and respect for tradition, Churton examines the intricate network of spiritual forces at play in the era. He reveals spiritual principles that united the free love movement, the civil rights and anti-war movements, the hippies’ rejection of materialist culture, and the eventual rise of feminism, gay rights, and environmentalism. He traces influences from medieval troubadours, Gnosticism, Hindu philosophy, Renaissance hermetic magic, and the occult doctrines of Aleister Crowley. He also examines the psychedelic revolution, the genesis of popular interest in UFOs, and the psychological consequences of the Bomb and the assassinations of the Kennedys and Martin Luther King. In addition, Churton investigates the huge shifts in consciousness reflected in the movies, music, art, and literature of the era--from Frank Sinatra to the Beatles, from I Love Lucy to Star Trek, from John Wayne to Midnight Cowboy--much of which still resonates with the youth of today. Taking the reader on a long strange trip from crew-cuts and Bermuda shorts to Hair and Woodstock, from liquor to psychedelics, from uncool to cool, and from matter to Soul, Churton shows how the spiritual values of the Sixties are now reemerging, with an astonishing influx of spiritual light, to once again awaken us.

Book excerpt: The second book in a trilogy about the interaction of Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons, "Spirit Fire" is an epic adventure that sweeps across pre-historic Europe, Asia, and Alaska, as the man who invented war embarks on a quest to conquer the world. Rumors of unusual people living in caves far to the east of the warriors' land attract warrior leader Warlog. His shaman, Rayloc, fears the strangers are really Droglits, servants of evil from deep in the earth who have come to destroy his way of life. In the east, Sotif, History Man of The Alliance between Earth People and Sun People, tries to guard his culture against changes that could induce Mother Earth to withdraw her blessings. But Warlog is intent upon breaking The Alliance by subjugating the Sun People and destroying the Earth People. Faced with this threat, Sotif races to find the Spirit Fire to bring hope to his people and help them defeat Warlog. The key to success ultimately lies in the hands of Tincolad, one of Warlog's warriors captured by The Alliance. Will Sotif find the Spirit Fire in time? Can Tincolad be persuaded to help The Alliance before it is too late for the Earth People?

Book excerpt: A magnificent city lost over time destroyed by the Gods and sent to the bottom of the Ocean forever later to be written by the Greek philosopher Plato in two dialogues. Destroyed was their home but not its people who rebuilt their city back to its former glory. Learning from their violent past not to repeat it, the centuries go by and the outside world has populated the surface, no place for the Atlantean people to call home. Safe from the outside world and their advanced technology that is generated by a rare element only found at the outer reaches of the solar system. The Atlanteans decide to stay below the waves to watch over and nurture the people from above giving them technology through the centuries until they are ready to accept them and their technology. Creating another city on the other side of Earth deep below the Pacific Ocean, the city grows rapidly hungry for more energy and power, the people in time rebel against Atlantis. With all-out war looming over the peaceful people of Atlantis, one man not from their world will come to understand the past and his future.

The New York Times articles collected in this volume will reveal how concerns about planet Earth and space research development contribute to the quest for space colonization.

No sense of transcendence that connects to history or extends beyond the present. The devil is in the default: wasted motions, directionless sitcom, and an unremarkable legacy of vapor. Thankfully, there is a better script. The impact of a single life can extend far beyond the time and space it occupies, thanks to God's gracious invitation to join Him in the only eternal story. Everything that has happened up until now has purpose for your life. Your heritage, your gifts, the people around you, the very path you've traveled -- none of it is accidental. In this book, bestselling author Stu Weber will help you take inventory, challenge you to think beyond your lifespan, and plan your impact so it echoes for eternity.

Book excerpt: Author Vincent Havelund's new epic work of fiction explores how Earth's development has been intertwined with that of a distant planet called Orbsey. It all begins in the year 1 and races to its conclusion in the twenty-fourth century. As the people of Earth looked to the heavens in search of others, the people of Orbsey were doing more than just looking; they were planning. In this first book of the series, the adventure begins when two cultures, two peoples, two worlds meet at long last. Thanks to their mastery of fourth-dimensional travel, explorers from Orbsey reach Earth and neither planet will ever be the same. Humanity is still a young and developing race in the year 1. To the visitors, humanity is a barbaric and wild race. What must humanity think of their new guests? In rural China, a bright, ambitious young girl by the name of Sun Li I dreams of a life of fulfillment and even love. But when she begins to dream of a long life of 285 years on a distant planet, she could never had imagined that what appeared to be a dream was actually memories of a real life lived on Orbsey. Sun Li is not alone. She is one of countless humans who would be integrated into Orbsien society over the centuries; while many chose to stay, some did return to Earth. This is their story and the first installment of The Star Series.
