Book excerpt: Jamey Barlowe has been crippled since childhood, the result of being born on the Moon. He lives his life in a wheelchair, only truly free when he is in the water. But then Jamey's father sends him, along with five other kids, back to the Moon to escape a political coup d'etat that has occurred overnight in the United States. Moreover, one of the other five refugees is more than she appears. Their destination is the mining colony, Apollo. Jamey will have to learn a whole new way to live, one that entails walking for the first time in his life. It won't be easy and it won't be safe. But Jamey is determined to make it as a member of Lunar Search and Rescue, also known as the Rangers. This job is always risky, but could be even more dangerous if the new U.S. president makes good on her threat to launch a military invasion. Soon Jamey is front and center in a political and military struggle stretching from the Earth to the Moon. From the Hardcover edition.
Book Synopsis The Two Outcasts Of Eden by : Kingsley Chinedum Obi
Download or read book The Two Outcasts Of Eden written by Kingsley Chinedum Obi and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story begins the age before the beginning of anything, when everything was nothing; when there was no heaven or earth, time or space; there was no God as there was nothing to rule. It was the age when the Being called God was all alone but engorged with the Food He ate, the Food which consisted of both Evil and Good, of Light and Darkness. The SUPREME BEING exists all alone before the beginning but is engorged with Food which He eventually separates into beings, the Gods of Light, first of whom is named YO, through whom comes his betrothed, a she-man named EL-SHEKINAH, and zillions of other beings of light. The same Food separates into His faecal waste which becomes Death, through whom comes another set of beings, the Gods of Darkness, starting with LEVIATHAN, all of whom are today called demons, all of whom are later quartered in the large intestine of creation bathed in darkness called The EARTH, awaiting the day of their defecation, just like faeces that they are. El-Shekinah is given Earth to govern, indeed a betrothal period, but in matrices of cobwebs of events he becomes corrupt, a corruption instigated by the Gods of Darkness, a means by which they adopt him as their son. And in a huge dose of rage for being spited by Yo, El-Shekinah leads the very first war of Darkness against Light, which results into the destruction of the first Earth with its humans, animals and vegetation, which necessitates its recreation by Yo. And so the praxis that the Biblical Adam named ISHI in this story is not the first man recreated and is not the one made in the image and likeness of the Gods is then explored. This motif brews with the evidence that the White races are the first to be recreated; they are the ones made in the image and likeness of the Gods, attributes that are steeped in the ability to have everything in dominion; the capacity to create things that are both useful and lethal, and the propensity to multiply. They are created by Yo but humanized by the great two Gods - Yo the leader of Light and El-Shekinah, the evidence of which is seen today in the double helix of man’s DNA structure, being two serpents coiled upon a spine. Ishi, the Biblical Aadam, is then formed as a baby but humanized all alone by Yo who instructs him to be the one to teach true righteousness and true worship to the Whites, the rulers, so they can rule in righteous royalty. Ishi is given a she-man which is named ISHA, who is to be helpmeet to him and not a wife, but he eventually makes her his wife. El-Shekinah enters into a sexual union with Isha, while promising her a worldwide rulership, and the resultant pregnancy becomes the biblical Cain who is named ODACHI. Eventually Isha herself, in keeping to the mandate given her by El-Shekinah seduces Ishi into having sex with her in order to corrupt him and in order also to be a ruler sitting upon all men as she is promised by El-Shekinah. As an aftermath of sex with Isha, Ishi is made to hear the consequences of his action and is shown a vision in which he sees El-Shekinah emblazoned in the night sky with arms outstretched and two legs joined together, a quintessential Cross, which depicts sun and moon worship, the enigmatic symbol of false worship birthed in all religions, through which El-Shekinah deceives the whole world into false righteousness and false worship. During this exposition he is also made aware of the falsehood that shall descend upon man such as the baking of truth and falsehood as Scripture in all religions; people worshipping El-Shekinah thinking they are worshiping God in all religions, the virgin birth deception, the false Jerusalem and false Israel deception, the falsehood of one man being made to die for the sin of the whole world and so many others. The story then cascades to its end, with Yo allowing El-Shekinah the lordship of Earth from thence till the end when Darkness, just like Faeces becomes expelled, a certainty also made known to Ishi by one of the sons of God.

Download or read book Old Venus written by George R. R. Martin and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixteen all-new stories by science fiction’s top talents, collected by bestselling author George R. R. Martin and multiple-award-winning editor Gardner Dozois From pulp adventures such as Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Carson of Venus to classic short stories such as Ray Bradbury’s “The Long Rain” to visionary novels such as C. S. Lewis’s Perelandra, the planet Venus has loomed almost as large in the imaginations of science fiction writers as Earth’s next-nearest neighbor, Mars. But while the Red Planet conjured up in Golden Age science fiction stories was a place of vast deserts and ruined cities, bright blue Venus was its polar opposite: a steamy, swampy jungle world with strange creatures lurking amidst the dripping vegetation. Alas, just as the last century’s space probes exploded our dreams of Mars, so, too, did they shatter our romantic visions of Venus, revealing, instead of a lush paradise, a hellish world inimical to all life. But don’t despair! This new anthology of sixteen original stories by some of science fiction’s best writers—edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin and award-winning editor Gardner Dozois—turns back the clock to that more innocent time, before the hard-won knowledge of science vanquished the infinite possibilities of the imagination. Join our cast of award-winning contributors—including Elizabeth Bear, David Brin, Joe Haldeman, Gwyneth Jones, Mike Resnick, Eleanor Arnason, Allen M. Steele, and more—as we travel back in time to a planet that never was but should have been: a young, rain-drenched world of fabulous monsters and seductive mysteries.

Download or read book Old Mars written by George R. R. Martin and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen all-new stories by science fiction’s top talents, collected by bestselling author George R. R. Martin and multiple-award winning editor Gardner Dozois Burroughs’s A Princess of Mars. Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles. Heinlein’s Red Planet. These and so many more inspired generations of readers with a sense that science fiction’s greatest wonders did not necessarily lie far in the future or light-years across the galaxy but were to be found right now on a nearby world tantalizingly similar to our own—a red planet that burned like an ember in our night sky . . . and in our imaginations. This new anthology of fifteen all-original science fiction stories, edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois, celebrates the Golden Age of Science Fiction, an era filled with tales of interplanetary colonization and derring-do. Before the advent of powerful telescopes and space probes, our solar system could be imagined as teeming with strange life-forms and ancient civilizations—by no means always friendly to the dominant species of Earth. And of all the planets orbiting that G-class star we call the Sun, none was so steeped in an aura of romantic decadence, thrilling mystery, and gung-ho adventure as Mars. Join such seminal contributors as Michael Moorcock, Mike Resnick, Joe R. Lansdale, S. M. Stirling, Mary Rosenblum, Ian McDonald, Liz Williams, James S. A. Corey, and others in this brilliant retro anthology that turns its back on the cold, all-but-airless Mars of the Mariner probes and instead embraces an older, more welcoming, more exotic Mars: a planet of ancient canals cutting through red deserts studded with the ruined cities of dying races.

Book Synopsis Apollo's Angels by : Jennifer Homans
Download or read book Apollo's Angels written by Jennifer Homans and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-11-02 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER For more than four hundred years, the art of ballet has stood at the center of Western civilization. Its traditions serve as a record of our past. Lavishly illustrated and beautifully told, Apollo’s Angels—the first cultural history of ballet ever written—is a groundbreaking work. From ballet’s origins in the Renaissance and the codification of its basic steps and positions under France’s Louis XIV (himself an avid dancer), the art form wound its way through the courts of Europe, from Paris and Milan to Vienna and St. Petersburg. In the twentieth century, émigré dancers taught their art to a generation in the United States and in Western Europe, setting off a new and radical transformation of dance. Jennifer Homans, a historian, critic, and former professional ballerina, wields a knowledge of dance born of dedicated practice. Her admiration and love for the ballet, asEntertainment Weekly notes, brings “a dancer’s grace and sure-footed agility to the page.” NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW • LOS ANGELES TIMES • SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE • PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
