Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amanda Ki's humanitarian trip to Xy-Three is fraught with assassins and saboteurs who are popping up faster than she can deal with them. Caught up in a web of intrigue, kidnapping, and terror, Mandy joins forces with the captain of the Phoenix, Declan Chalmers. Declan is tall, dark, handsome, and probably the most arrogant, dictatorial man she has ever met. He's also one of the few people she can trust. Declan doesn't know what to expect from the VIP who heads up a million-dollar enterprise, when she boards his ship. The tiny, exotic, and packed full of grit woman is not only drop dead gorgeous and smart, she's also deadly when it comes to martial arts. A skill he wants on his side when the space craft is sabotaged. Thrown together, the two form a tight bond, but if they aren't careful, they could end up dead.
Book Synopsis Lost Among the Stars by : Paul Di Filippo
Download or read book Lost Among the Stars written by Paul Di Filippo and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A genre-bending collection of speculative fiction from the acclaimed author of the Steampunk Trilogy—with an introduction by Robert Silverberg. Horror, alternative history, science fiction, and fantasy—nothing is off limits when you possess an imagination as vast as Paul Di Filippo’s. In this collection of stories featuring ancient goddesses, the new social media elite, and hermetic cities, he’ll take you on a wild ride through plausible pasts and far-flung futures. In “Ghostless,” a medium learns that ghosts are drawn to—and can alleviate—sadness, so she becomes a matchmaker to both spirts and mortals in need. Flash fiction published in Nature magazine, “Wavehitcher” shows how surfing goes high-tech—and long-distance—with smartsuits that desalinate water, pulsed magnets to repel sharks, and seines that catch and processes krill into a nutritious paste. An expert in industrial metabolics focuses on blending his superior genepool with that of his fiancée’s to save the human race from idiocracy, until a kidnapping in Colombia shows him the folly of his arrogance in “Adventures in Cognitive Homogamy.” These stories will whet your appetite for more fantastical Di Filippo, and thankfully, Lost Among the Stars delivers. Praise for Paul Di Filippo “Di Filippo is like gourmet potato chips to me. I can never eat just one of his stories.” —Harlan Ellison “Di Filippo is the spin doctor of SF—and it is a powerful medicine he brews.” —Brian Aldiss, Hugo Award–winning author of Hothouse “Vibrant, nervy, and full of gloriously wiggy language, Ribofunk is anything but the same old stuff.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer

Book Synopsis Swimmer Among the Stars by : Kanishk Tharoor
Download or read book Swimmer Among the Stars written by Kanishk Tharoor and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian and NPR “A writer who is gifted not just with extraordinary talent but also with a subtle, original, and probing mind.” —Amitav Ghosh In one of the singularly imaginative stories from Kanishk Tharoor’s Swimmer Among the Stars, despondent diplomats entertain themselves by playing table tennis in zero gravity—for after rising seas destroy Manhattan, the United Nations moves to an orbiting space hotel. In other tales, a team of anthropologists treks to a remote village to record a language’s last surviving speaker intoning her native tongue; an elephant and his driver cross the ocean to meet the whims of a Moroccan princess; and Genghis Khan’s marauding army steadily approaches an unnamed city’s walls. With exuberant originality and startling vision, Tharoor cuts against the grain of literary convention, drawing equally from ancient history and current events. His world-spanning stories speak to contemporary challenges of environmental collapse and cultural appropriation, but also to the workings of legend and their timeless human truths. Whether refashioning the romances of Alexander the Great or confronting the plight of today’s refugees, Tharoor writes with distinctive insight and remarkable assurance. Swimmer Among the Stars announces the arrival of a vital, enchanting talent.

Book excerpt: From the award-winning author of Catching the Wind, which Publishers Weekly called “unforgettable” and a “must-read,” comes another gripping time-slip novel about hidden treasure, a castle, and ordinary people who resisted evil in their own extraordinary way. The year is 1938, and as Hitler’s troops sweep into Vienna, Austrian Max Dornbach promises to help his Jewish friends hide their most valuable possessions from the Nazis, smuggling them to his family’s summer estate near the picturesque village of Hallstatt. He enlists the help of Annika Knopf, his childhood friend and the caretaker’s daughter, who is eager to help the man she’s loved her entire life. But when Max also brings Luzia Weiss, a young Jewish woman, to hide at the castle, it complicates Annika’s feelings and puts their entire plan—even their very lives—in jeopardy. Especially when the Nazis come to scour the estate and find both Luzia and the treasure gone. Eighty years later, Callie Randall is mostly content with her quiet life, running a bookstore with her sister and reaching out into the world through her blog. Then she finds a cryptic list in an old edition of Bambi that connects her to Annika’s story . . . and maybe to the long-buried story of a dear friend. As she digs into the past, Callie must risk venturing outside the safe world she’s built for a chance at answers, adventure, and maybe even new love.

Book Synopsis Lost Among the Baining by : Gail Pool
Download or read book Lost Among the Baining written by Gail Pool and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late sixties, Gail Pool and her husband set off for an adventure in New Guinea. He was a graduate student in anthropology; she was an aspiring writer. They prepared, as academics do, by reading, practicing with language tapes, consulting with the nearest thing to experts, and then, excited and optimistic, off they went. But all their research could not prepare them for the reality of life in the jungle. As they warded off gargantuan insects, slogged through seemingly endless mud, and turned on each other in fatigue and frustration, they struggled to somehow connect with their enigmatic hosts, the Baining—a people who showed no desire to be studied. Sixteen months later they returned home. Despite months of trying, they had not been able to make sense of the Baining’s culture. Worse yet, their lives no longer seemed to make sense. Pool put her journals away. Her husband abandoned the study of anthropology. Decades later, Pool returned to her journals and found in her jumbled notes the understanding that had eluded her twenty-three–year-old self. Finally, she and her husband returned to New Guinea for a shorter visit and a warm reunion with the tribe that challenged them on so many levels and, Pool now realized, made their journey and lives deeper and richer.
