Download or read book Starborn written by Roberto Trotta and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An astronomer "who writes like a poet" (Wall Street Journal) gives a sweeping, "beautifully written" (Nature) inquiry into how the night sky has shaped human history For as long as humans have lived, we have lived beneath the stars. But under the glow of today’s artificial lighting, we have lost the intimacy our ancestors once shared with the cosmos. In Starborn, cosmologist Roberto Trotta reveals how stargazing has shaped the course of human civilization. The stars have served as our timekeepers, our navigators, our muses—they were once even our gods. How radically different would we be, Trotta also asks, if our ancestors had looked up to the night sky and seen… nothing? He pairs the history of our starstruck species with a dramatic alternate version, a world without stars where our understanding of science, art, and ourselves would have been radically altered. Revealing the hidden connections between astronomy and civilization, Starborn summons us to the marvelous sight that awaits us on a dark, clear night—to lose ourselves in the immeasurable vastness above.

Book excerpt: Many live their entire existence without encountering a character-defining moment, that point when one must make a life-altering decision and live with the consequences. This isnt the case for Jake Williams, a retired astronaut on a camping trip in the Colorado Rockies southwest of Denver. His defining moment involves a life-and-death struggle to save an injured alien whose dark purpose changes Jakes life. As Jake attempts to save the alien, an unexplainable bond develops. The alien forsakes his people and transfers not only telepathic control of his ship to Jake, but also his vast knowledge of the universe and a critical part of his DNA. From that moment, Jake becomes responsible for the lives of everything on the planet. Hes asked to sacrifice all he holds dear and is tested to the limits of human endurance. During this chaos and overwhelming hopelessness, family, friends, and government leaders rally to help him save humanity by fleeing the coming destruction. As Jake reaches his limits, a young woman crosses his path, a beautiful Spanish girl half his age. Gena serves as the personal secretary of the first female president of the United States, and shes unwillingly pulled into the circle surrounding Jake and his ship. For a long time, they both resist the feelings growing between them. But Genas wild passion and Jakes raging desire ignites a powerful love binding them across the vast distances of space and is the driving force that saves mankind.

Book excerpt: This sequel to The Stars Are Ours! was first published in 1957 by the World Publishing Company.

Astra has a vibrant, intelligent species, as well as the ruins of a much older civilization. Norton weaves two stories together by alternating points of view with each chapter. We follow a 4th generation colonist, as well as a mechanic-pilot newly arrived on Astra as a member of a research mission from a recently revived Earth. Each is on a journey of discovery, and they find themselves allied with opposing sides of an ongoing war between two intelligent, indigenous species.

Book Synopsis Starborn and Godsons by : Larry Niven
Download or read book Starborn and Godsons written by Larry Niven and published by Baen Books. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE LONG-AWAITED CONCLUSION OF THE HEOROT SERIES FROM GENRE LEGENDS LARRY NIVEN, JERRY POURNELLE, AND STEVEN BARNES Avalon was thriving. The cold sleep colonists from Earth had settled on a verdant, livable world. The fast and cunning predators humans named grendels were under control, and the mainland outposts well established. Avalon's new mainland hydroelectric power station was nearly complete, and when on-line would compensate for the nuclear power systems lost in the Grendel Wars. Humans would have power, and with power came the ability to make all the necessities for life. They would survive. They would not survive as a spacefaring people. What they were losing faster than they knew was the ability to get to space. But unbeknownst to the planet-bound humans, something was moving out there in the stars, decelerating at a rate impossible for a natural object. And its destination was Avalon. The most probable origin was Earth's Solar System. This is a novel of first contact—between the human Starborn and the self-named Godsons who followed on, between the first generation of Avalon born humans and their descendants, and between humans and the almost ineffably alien species native to their new world . . . . At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Book excerpt: Then I knew...something was glowing. There was something glowing in the darkness with the force of a star. I opened my eyes slowly and looked around. The glowing seemed to be coming from some point next to me or near me, but when I looked down, I saw that it was simply me. I was glowing. Silver. My favorite color. The glow was dimming, though, with each passing second and I saw the reason why. Small specks of the silver glow were floating off to be in the darkness. Instead of just the black of night, now it seemed as though we were in the starry sky. Thick with glowing, silver stars and whipping, raging wind. Phoenix's seemingly blind eyes focused on mine. "Your power reacts with darkness. Starlight, you hold the power of the Stars within you. Now I see. I understand where that enormous power comes from." The darkness faded and his eyes slowly turned crimson again. The silver specks disappeared last. "You are not just a StarChild. You are StarBorn." I let my wind fade. "StarBorn?" A small nod. "StarBorn. It is a baby that is born with the ability to control the stars." The path to the Sacred Tree turns dangerous in this action-packed sequel to The Journey of the StarChildren. Will they make it to the Sacred Tree? What will happen when they do? Will Starlight find happiness at home?
