4400: Promises Broken by David Mack Pdf

4400 taken, 4400 returned. All were given startling new abilities. Now, if you are willing to risk it all, you too can be extraordinary. Is this what the future intended to ensure the survival of the human race? Promicin -- which kills half of those who dare to inject it and grants paranormal abilities to those who survive -- is spreading across the globe and threatening to plunge the entire world into chaos. One year has passed since Jordan Collier and his followers seized control of Seattle and renamed it Promise City. U.S. armed forces have surrounded Seattle, and each day brings Collier and his Promicin-Positive Movement closer to all-out war with the world's greatest military superpower. However, the real threats are the Marked -- agents from the future whose identities are encoded into body-hijacking nanites. They were sent back to thwart the efforts of the 4400. The last three surviving Marked lurk in the shadows, working in secret as they prepare to deliver a deathblow to the planet. Caught in the crossfire are NTAC agents Tom Baldwin and Diana Skouris. His son, Kyle, and her thirteen-year-old adopted daughter, Maia, are both more loyal to Jordan's movement than to them. And when the standoff between Collier and the U.S. military explodes into open conflict, Tom, Diana, and fellow agents wind up outnumbered and outgunned. In the end, the fate of all mankind will rest in the hands of one man: Tom Baldwin.

On a collision route with God by Gabriel L. Pdf

Questo libro contiene una serie di informazioni, desunte dall'autore attraverso lunghe conversazioni con un misterioso personaggio, un uomo che gli ha trasmesso una serie di "rivelazioni" sorprendenti, in cui la presenza di esseri extraterrestri (fisici e spirituali) fra noi costituisce il filo conduttore che domina la storia umana. Tali rivelazioni si riferiscono alla teoria della colonizzazione della Terra, all'analisi delle categorie degli esseri che la popolano, alle potenzialità della memoria e sui concetti di dubbio, sogno e realtà. This book contains a series of information, taken from the author through long conversations with a mysterious character, a man who has transmitted a series of surprising "revelations", in which the presence of extraterrestrial beings (physical and spiritual) between us constitutes a common thread that dominates the history of human beings. These revelations refer to the theory of the colonization of the Earth, to the analysis of the categories of beings that populate it, to the potentialities of memory and the concepts of doubt, dream and reality, which could irreparably change our existence.

Glory Season by David Brin Pdf

A woman faces danger on the high seas of another planet—and a mystery that will change her world—in this adventure by the bestselling author of Startide Rising. On Planet Stratos, clans of genetically identical females dominate society. Natural conceptions are permitted, but only in summertime. Girls born this way—known for their despised uniqueness as ‘vars’—must leave their clan homes to pursue their own distinct and hazardous fortunes in this world owned by clones. That time has come for Maia and her sister, Leie, but as variants, they have limited prospects. Worse, when the sisters do find work on trading vessels, Leie is lost at sea. And hence, Maia’s arduous journey commences, accompanied by rumors that something . . . someone . . . has arrived from across the stars, perhaps ending the isolation of Stratos from the rest of humanity. Who would predict that a lonely var might stumble into a powerful secret? One that will challenge everything Maia knows about her society—and threatens the scientifically-engineered balance that holds it all together. “One of the most important SF novels of the year.” —The Washington Post Book World “A rousing adventure story . . . brimming with surprises both wonderful and harrowing.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune “Glory Season offers thrills, chills, political intrigue, and other good scientifictional fun, along with yet another round in the battle of the sexes.” —Locus “Brin’s prose echoes the influence of Asimov, Frank Herbert, and Aldous Huxley. . . . His world is so painstakingly drawn and is splashed with such radiant and varied hues.” —The Christian Science Monitor

But when his father and three half brothers in line for the throne are killed in an "accident," he has no choice but to take his place as the only surviving rightful heir. Entirely unschooled in the art of court politics, he has no friends, no advisors, and the sure knowledge that whoever assassinated his father and brothers could make an attempt on his life at any moment. Surrounded by sycophants eager to curry favor with the naïve new emperor, and overwhelmed by the burdens of his new life, he can trust nobody. Amid the swirl of plots to depose him, offers of arranged marriages, and the specter of the unknown conspirators who lurk in the shadows, he must quickly adjust to life as the Goblin Emperor. All the while, he is alone, and trying to find even a single friend . . . and hoping for the possibility of romance, yet also vigilant against the unseen enemies that threaten him, lest he lose his throne–or his life.
