Book Synopsis Bill, the Galactic Hero by : Harry Harrison
Download or read book Bill, the Galactic Hero written by Harry Harrison and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The funniest science fiction book ever written” is a space military parody about a hapless soldier from a Science Fiction Hall of Fame inductee (Terry Pratchett, New York Times–bestselling author of the Discworld novels). It was the highest honour to defend the Empire against the dreaded Chingers, an enemy race of seven-foot-tall lizards. But Bill, a Technical Fertilizer Operator from a planet of farmers, wasn’t interested in honour—he was only interested in two things: his chosen career, and the shapely curves of Inga-Maria Calyphigia. Then a recruiting robot shanghaied him with knockout drops, and he came to in deep space, aboard the Empire warship Christine Keeler. And from there, things got even worse . . . Praise for Harry Harrison “A perfectly grand storyteller.” —David Brin, Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of Star Tide Rising “Few commercial writers are more deserving of their popularity than Harrison, a fine writer who occasionally reaches brilliant heights.” —Publishers Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detective hunts down a killer in a dystopian, overpopulated NYC in this classic science fiction novel that inspired the film Soylent Green. Originally published in 1966, Make Room! Make Room! imagines a world at the end of the twentieth century where Earth is so overwhelmed by rampant population growth that it teeters on the edge of self-destruction. In New York City alone, thirty-five million people are squeezed into its packed boroughs, scrambling like rats for the world’s dwindling resources. The only food available is a product called soylent. And while the government tries to maintain order, the rich get richer and the poor stay underfoot. Finding a killer in this broken world is one hell of a job. But that’s exactly what Det. Andy Rusch has been assigned to do. If he can stay alive long enough, he might just solve the biggest case he’s ever been on—unless humanity finally fulfills its promise and destroys itself first.

Book excerpt: From a Science Fiction Hall of Fame inductee, “intelligent reptiles battle stone age humans for control of an alternate Earth” (Kirkus Reviews). Sixty-five million years ago, a disastrous cataclysm eliminated three quarters of all life on Earth. Overnight, the age of dinosaurs ended. The age of mammals had begun. But what if history had happened differently? What if the reptiles had survived to evolve intelligent life? In West of Eden, bestselling author Harry Harrison has created a rich, dramatic saga of a world where the descendants of the dinosaurs struggled with a clan of humans in a battle for survival. Here is the story of Kerrick, a young hunter who grows to manhood among the dinosaurs, escaping at last to rejoin his own kind. His knowledge of their strange customs makes him the humans’ leader . . . and the dinosaurs’ greatest enemy. West of Eden is a monumental epic of love and savagery, bravery and hope. “A perfectly grand storyteller.” —David Brin, Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of Star Tide Rising “Few commercial writers are more deserving of their popularity than Harrison, a fine writer who occasionally reaches brilliant heights.” —Publishers Weekly

Book Synopsis Bob the Galactic Hero by : Matthew Vandegriff
Download or read book Bob the Galactic Hero written by Matthew Vandegriff and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-13 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob is a quiet detective living in a city known as Helen's Crown, a city atop a planet-sized monument of Helen of Troy in close orbit around Jupiter. When Bob investigates a series of inexplicable murders, in a city and a future not accustomed to the unknown, he is led on a circuitous odyssey where each clue seems to only produce twice as many questions. Shadowy organizations, interplanetary civil war, and encounters with the so-called "human variants" are but a few of the trials facing our detective, Bob, as he races against a proverbial sword of Damocles positioned above the heads of the entire galactic population. The story line of Bob the Galactic Hero is intermingled with maps and travel guides of Bob's galactic journey, articles on pertinent subjects such as future technology and speculative theoretical physics, and pages from a mysterious dream journal requiring the reader to ponder these surreal entries that seem both unrelated and yet profoundly relevant. Bob the Galactic Hero is a story written for fans of classic sci-fi, mystery, and those for whom the subject of physics, astronomical and theoretical, carries a special place of elation deep in their hearts. This novel will suit those with a casual interest in sci-fi and give those for whom sci-fi is a passion a contemplative space that will linger long after the book has been closed. Entangled, in the truest physical sense of the word, with the physics and mystery throughout the story is a powerful philosophical thread binding darkness and light, the substantial versus the insubstantial, permanence and impermanence, and of the self and of the end of the self. 182,000 words plus charts, graphs, and illustrations. It's like three books for the price of one!
