Book excerpt: Hugo Award winner Ben Bova continues his grand tour of the human settled solar system with a fan-pleasing look at life in the Outer Planets, among the moons of Neptune. In the future, humanity has spread throughout the solar system, on planets and moons once visited only by robots or explored at a distance by far-voyaging spacecraft. No matter how hostile or welcoming the environment, mankind has forged a path and found a home. In the far reaches of the solar system, the outer planets—billions of miles from Earth, unknown for millennia—are being settled. Neptune, the ice giant, is swathed in clouds of hydrogen, helium, and methane and circled by rings of rock and dust. Three years ago, Ilona Magyr’s father, Miklos, disappeared while exploring the seas of Neptune. Everyone believes he is dead—crushed, frozen, or boiled alive in Neptune’s turbulent seas. With legendary space explorer Derek Humbolt piloting her ship and planetary scientist Jan Meitner guiding the search, Ilona Magyr knows she will find her father—alive—on Neptune. Her plans are irrevocably altered when she and her team discover the wreckage of an alien ship deep in Neptune’s ocean, a discovery which changes humanity’s understanding of its future...and its past.

Book excerpt: "I was suddenly struck with the sight of a trail of rich red vegetation of several miles in the midst of the eternal snows. I approached with curiosity this oasis in the frozen desert. An antique shop owner gets a glimpse of the red planet through an intriguing artefact. A Martian's wife contemplates the possibility of life on Earth. A resident of Venus describes his travels across the two alien planets. From an arid desert to an advanced society far superior to that of Earth, portrayals of Mars have differed radically in their attempt to uncover the truth about our neighbouring planet. Since the 1880s, writers of science fiction have delighted in speculating on what life on Mars might look like and what might happen should we make contact with the planet's inhabitants. These ten short stories from the golden age of science fiction feature classic SF writers including H.G. Wells, Ray Bradbury and J.G. Ballard, as well as lesser-known writers from the genre. They reveal much about how we understand our place in the universe.

Download or read book Lost Mars written by Mike Ashley and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I was suddenly struck with the sight of a trail of rich red vegetation of several miles in the midst of the eternal snows. I approached with curiosity this oasis in the frozen desert.” An antique-shop owner gets a glimpse of the Red Planet through an intriguing artifact. A Martian’s wife contemplates the possibility of life on Earth. A resident of Venus describes his travels across the two alien planets. From an arid desert to an advanced society far superior to that of Earth, portrayals of Mars have differed radically in their attempts to uncover the truth about our neighboring planet. Since the 1880s, after an astronomer first described “channels” on the surface of Mars, writers have been fascinated with the planet, endlessly speculating on what life on Mars might look like and what might happen should we make contact with the planet's inhabitants. This wonderful collection offers ten wildly imaginative short stories from the golden age of science fiction by such classic sci-fi writers as H.G. Wells, Ray Bradbury, and J. G. Ballard, as well as hard-to-find stories by unjustly forgotten writers from the genre. Assembled and introduced by acclaimed anthologist Mike Ashley, these stories vividly evoke a time when notions of life on other planets—from vegetation and water to space invaders and utopian societies—were new and startling. As we continue to imagine landing people on Mars, these stories are well worth revisiting as gripping and vivid dispatches from futurists past.

After traveling in stasis for years across the interstellar void, Robert Vasquez lands on the planet Sonik orbiting the Procyon star system. His personal mission is to educate the natives of what some consider a backwater world. In this pursuit, he soon runs afoul of the local human ambassador Garth Knight, who wants to keep the natives ignorant--and easier to subjugate. Robert recruits several natives to his cause, but some oppose him, including a large band of renegades bent on galactic conquest. They harbor secrets about Sonik beyond the knowledge of most other natives. Yet Robert has learned even deeper secrets buried in the planet's ancient archives. In the process, he also acquires unusual companions among the native fairies and tarlocks. How far will Robert bend the rules to succeed on his mission? Can education and technology triumph over bureaucracy and imperialism? Illustrations inside.

Book Synopsis Planet of the Knob-Heads and Out of the Void by : Stanton A. Coblentz
Download or read book Planet of the Knob-Heads and Out of the Void written by Stanton A. Coblentz and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armchair Fiction presents extra-large editions of classic science fiction double novels, complete with original illustrations. The first novel is Stanton Coblentz's "Planet of the Knob-heads." Newlyweds Jack and Marjorie Wainright were two of the brightest stars in the scientific world. They had it all--youth, success, and the respect of their peers. Then one evening at home they stumbled onto an amazing sight. As they looked through their telescopic reflector into the night sky, they were astonished to see a spaceship descending toward Earth! Soon the Wainrights were in search of the landing site of the mysterious alien spacecraft. They found it in the wilds of Equatorial West Africa. There the Wainrights met the knob-heads of Uuleppe--a planet near Andromeda. Unfortunately these strange visitors repaid their hosts' kindness by kidnapping and whisking them across the void. Treated as "specimens of Earth fauna," the Wainrights faced a seemingly hopeless struggle on an alien planet, with little chance of ever returning to Earth. The second novel is straight from the pages of Amazing Stories, "Out of the Void" by Leslie F. Stone. One evening as he was driving to his remote mountain lodge for a weekend fishing trip, Wall Street journeyman Carl Wooten saw something very odd. It was an ominous flash of light somewhere in the woods beyond his lodge. After entering, Wooten found the strangest of things...a beautiful ruby sitting on his dressing table, seemingly put there in payment for numerous articles of his clothing that were now missing. Upon investigating the next morning, Wooten made a discovery that would rock his senses. Sitting in a nearby meadow, in plain sight, was an enormous spaceship--the likes of which could not possibly have been made by anyone on Earth. Moments later, Wooten found himself a prisoner--captured by two humanoid creatures clearly not of Earthen origin. And before long Carl Wooten was drawn into the incredible story of an aging professor, two daring adventurers, and a rocket flight beyond the edge of the Solar System...

When the silent Slain rescues her from a brutal encounter with a gang of Gel-heads, Odymn believes she has reached the end of her search for freedom. In their travels through the Prell'nan District of Meniscus, she and the Slain encounter dangerous woodlands, dramatic water-climbs and a hard-to-cross water churn. Odymn and the Slain work together to evade the Gel-heads and overcome the dangers of the landscape. But is Odymn really free or is she caught in a cycle of trying to escape the inevitable? In the first of the Meniscus series, Crossing The Churn tells the story of the meeting of a young woman and a genetically-engineered Slain whose kindness may not be consistent with his purpose.
