A chain of events is about to unleash an ancient and powerful evil. Every living being in the galaxy faces the very real threat of annihilation unless a young guardian named Altar can find a way to get a message across the time barrier. Can an action of the present truly impact history? As Altar travels ahead of a team of extraordinary heroes to locate the signal that is resonating from the Trimex galaxy, he finds his capsule being pulled into a temporal superstorm that bridges the gap to another galaxy from the past called the Milky Way. Altar is transported back in time to man's earliest beginnings, where his directives and mission becomes entangled. There, the guardian must piece together all the clues and make a choice, as time becomes his greatest enemy. Will Altar decipher the diabolical scheme in time to stop a tyrant's revenge, or will the fate of the past and future galaxies be decided by an ancient and terrifying evil with access to powers beyond his comprehension? Altar and the Intergalactic Riders must race against time to save the galaxy from annihilation. If Zerian falls from the heavens, could Earth be next?

This book was released on 2009 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work "Feasibility Study and Future Projections of Suborbital Space Tourism at the Example of Virgin Galactic" deals with the topic space tourism, especially with the so-called suborbital space tourism a current trend of private businesses that offer commercial flights up to the edge of space. This edge of space, named "Karman Line" due to its founder Theodore von Karman, is defined by the FAI (Federation Aeronautique Internationale) to be at an altitude of approximately 100 km. The author conducts a detailed feasibility study about this phenomenon at the example of the Anglo-American business Virgin Galactic, and sets up future projections based on the results of this study. After a general introduction into the topic (history, motives for going to space, stages of space tourism etc.) the author addresses the focal points of the feasibility study. In detail, this includes an analysis of the Virgin Galactic approach and its most promising competitors (Space Adventures, Benson Space Company, Space Access, Incredible Adventures, Rocketplane Limited, Starchaser Industries, and Blue Origin), as well as an analysis of the several spaceships and its manufacturers. Subsequently, the regulatory framework is illustrated at the example of the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). In the end, results from market research projects are evaluated in order to explain the demand for suborbital flights. The study comes to the conclusion that the industry is still in an early pioneer phase, but nevertheless shows an enormous potential to grow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The TV series that was never made and that youÕve never heard of celebrates its 40th year with an exhaustive retrospective guide! Growing from a child's game, the bizarrely-titled The Magnet Editor ran for ten years and a breathtaking 47 series. In bringing the series to life, Nick Goodman drew from 70s pop culture including Doctor Who and The New Avengers, and shared it only with his bewildered mother and childhood friends. Jo Bunsell was one such friend and soon the pair would be transported into a shared universe of preposterous Ð and badly designed Ð monsters and non-stop adventure with their extraordinary and strangely-named hero, Cabin Relese. Goodman and Bunsell open up their archive of materials and memories, and take you on a roller-coaster ride into their world! Magnet Memories is an episode guide, a frank, critical, incredulous and nostalgic reflection, a snapshot of childhood in the 70s and 80s... and it's possibly the most wonderfully bonkers cult TV book ever published!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE THOGCHAG VIGIL is set in a futuristic scenario, and deals with Artificial Intelligence (AI) where it is possible to control and manipulate the minds of others. Following an intense 200 year galactic war those, that survive, use this AI to create a New World Order where the Code of Conduct, amongst other stipulations, strictly bars and punishes homosexuality. It is in an age where organ replacement has reached such sophisticated levels that persons can live up to several hundred years. In addition, almost all activities are being done by robots. Long lives with very little work leads to extreme permissiveness. On the other hand, there is a Group that believes in Buddhism and traditional family values, and gradually increases its influence to negate or neutralise the hedonistic aspects of those in power. Buddhist Thogchags are medallions made from meteorites that magically descended on Earth centuries back. Their fostering of justice and catalytic influence for righteous change makes fascinating reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This short story is in two parts, the first part is a science fiction account of speculation for a space-faring ship that travels to and from distant planets using a unique faster than light (FTL) engine technology. The second part is about the actual attempt at getting the science fiction out of the story and placing it into the real world, today! The theme of the second part is from a prospective of what is called Cosmo-theology. Complete with drawings of the spacecraft and various diagrams that show what needs to be done for FTL travel to be completed for a traveler to the first habitable planet. The unique vision of the story unfolds in the first chapter of the first part where the explanation of the FTL machine using a sub-atomic mirrors and electrostatic bearings is given, which requires a telescope, a computer in 100 story a building, a nuclear fusion or fission reactor on Earth, a rotating magnetic ring in orbit near the moon, and ground based pico-lasers all working together to allow a spaceship to travel FTL.

Commander Vallie Cross is committed to making sure Joram Delburry, a gifted combat pilot without humanity and a past, learns his lessons: that he is part of a team, that until he accepts this, he will never be the best—something he wants more than anything. He repeatedly fails to win against her in combat flight training and with each defeat, he becomes more dangerous. Everyone knows it, knows that given the right opportunity, he will kill Cross.

A fleet of ships without signs of life, activity, or signals is approaching the center of intergalactic civilization, quickly defeating, and absorbing all ships and crews that oppose it.

Book excerpt: A team of friends are on an adventure to gather the pieces of a powerful weapon that would not only destroy our own galaxies but the galaxies of the other dimensions. The team has to travel from planet to planet just to find one piece on each of the planets before the evil Order of the Book of Shadow finds them. The team runs into a great deal of trouble along the way which slows their search for these pieces down. The question on both sides minds is are we going to be the ones to gather the most pieces of this weapon and will it be able to be used without some of the pieces being present?
