The War With Earth by Leo Frankowski,Dave Grossman Pdf

A General in Virtual Reality Warfare, Now He Was in Danger of Becoming a Low-Ranking Corpse in Realtime! New Kashubia was a planet rich in heavy metals, but utterly lacking in carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Even dirt had to be imported at great expense. The colonists, moved there from Earth against their will, lived in tunnels drilled through solid gold but still were the poorest people in the universe. Since their only resource was people, they sent draftees out as mercenaries, fighting in tanks in symbiosis with a highly intelligent computer. And Mickolai Derdowski had fought bravely and brilliantly for nearly a decade, losing many friends in the process, and risen to the rank of General¾he thought. But then he found out that it was all in virtual reality. The war had been faked, no one had died, and he was still just a tank commander, not a general at all. But New Kashubia had been well paid by the planet that had hired the mercenaries for the war they had faked, severe food rationing back home was no longer necessary, and people could now afford such extravagant luxuries as food, homes and clothing. There was just one problem. A real war was looming on the horizon and this one couldn't be settled in cyberspace. A lot of people might get really, permanently killed. Such as Mickolai.. ..

Run Me to Earth by Paul Yoon Pdf

From award-winning author Paul Yoon comes a beautiful, aching novel about three kids orphaned in 1960s Laos—and how their destinies are entwined across decades, anointed by Hernan Diaz as “one of those rare novels that stays with us to become a standard with which we measure other books.” Alisak, Prany, and Noi—three orphans united by devastating loss—must do what is necessary to survive the perilous landscape of 1960s Laos. When they take shelter in a bombed out field hospital, they meet Vang, a doctor dedicated to helping the wounded at all costs. Soon the teens are serving as motorcycle couriers, delicately navigating their bikes across the fields filled with unexploded bombs, beneath the indiscriminate barrage from the sky. In a world where the landscape and the roads have turned into an ocean of bombs, we follow their grueling days of rescuing civilians and searching for medical supplies, until Vang secures their evacuation on the last helicopters leaving the country. It’s a move with irrevocable consequences—and sets them on disparate and treacherous paths across the world. Spanning decades and magically weaving together storylines laced with beauty and cruelty, Paul Yoon crafts a gorgeous story that is a breathtaking historical feat and a fierce study of the powers of hope, perseverance, and grace.

The War of the Worlds by H G Wells Pdf

The War of the Worlds (1898), by H. G. Wells, is an early science fiction novel which describes an invasion of England by aliens from Mars. It is one of the earliest and best-known depictions of an alien invasion of Earth, and has influenced many others, as well as spawning several films, radio dramas, comic book adaptations, and a television series based on the story. The 1938 radio broadcast caused public outcry against the episode, as many listeners believed that an actual Martian invasion was in progress, a notable example of mass hysteria.

Planet Earth by Rosalie Bertell Pdf

As weaponry and warfare have become more complex and sophisticated, so the long-term effects have become more deadly. In Planet Earth Rosalie Bertell proposes that the key to understanding the impact of future wars lies in a close analysis of the past. She shows how the quest for military power has destabilized the delicate natural balance of the earth's ecosystem, causing widespread devastation in environmental, economic and social terms and calls for a new approach to security, which rises above national agendas to seek global solutions to a global problem.

A Traditionalist History of the Great War, Book II by Alexander Wolfheze Pdf

This book analyzes the world of 1914 by combining the approaches of traditionalist hermeneutics and 20th century geopolitics. The juxtaposition of these two frameworks, incorporated in the principles of Sacred Geography and Sea Power, allows for a Traditionalist perspective on the choices facing the Ten Great Powers on the eve of the Great War. The book’s multifaceted approach follows the iconoclastic “culture critique” method of the Traditional School that was developed by René Guénon, Frithjof Schuon and Julius Evola; it shows the pre-war world as essentially different from the post-war world. Thus, the Ten Great Power protagonists of the Great War may be understood on their own terms, rather than through a backward projection of politically-correct values on the existentially different human life-world of 1914. Dislodging the historical-materialist “progress” premise that underpins contemporary academic historiography, this book reasserts the highest claim of the Art of History: meta-narrative meaning.

War of Earth’s Dimensions by Irfan A. Karowalia Pdf

It all begins with a train journey from London to a new life in the countryside for ten-year-old William and his widowed father, David. Life dealt the father-son team a bad blow with William’s mother dying tragically a couple of years before. David is intent on starting afresh by relocating to Poynton Green where the air is crisp and clean and trees laden with apples and bushes with wild berries. It’s not long before William makes firm friends with his next-door-neighbor Robin. The book endearingly draws us in with this soul-mate friendship. The cherry on top has to be David falling in love with Robin’s mother, Emma, and the two eventually marry, cementing this brotherly bond. Little does this unsuspecting new family know that their idyllic existence is about to be shattered. Tragedy strikes, and with it, a discovery will thrust the two stepbrothers into dimensions that will test their bond to the limit. At the crossroads of light and dark, William and Robin go in opposite directions. William journeys through the dimension of light on the back of Adriel, the eight-legged white horse with pointed horns. He meets Gabedier, the sickly green-skinned monster who seems to be a perambulating mass of wrinkles. Looks aren’t always as they seem though as Gabedier becomes one of Will’s strongest allies. In the real world, the brothers’ playacting of becoming legendary heroes and allies Robin Hood and Will Scarlett takes a nasty turn in the dimensions. Their commitment to each other faces the toughest test. William’s wooden sword has now transformed in a glinting white-light–refracting weapon of steel and good. Unbeknown to him, Robin has teamed up with Haggl the Evil, and his sword is as dark as William’s is light. In scenes that will have you holding your breath, William’s good is pitted against the evil of the swirling ethereal Draccofiends. These dangerous dark specters are intent on crushing anything virtuous. And they are about to gain a new commander whose new HQ is the Tower of Torment—none other than William’s soul mate Robin. Spurred on by the light dimension’s initiating mantra—“Welcome home, the chosen one, the choice you made is true. Walk wise under the golden sun, let goodness walk with you”—William has one mission, and that is to save Robin from the dark forces that have him in their evil clutches. This page-turner will leave you breathless and have you championing Will’s determination to fight for good over evil. His challenge is amplified when elements within his light dimension army turn their backs on him and edge toward the dark abyss. Eventually, the two dimensions come head-to-head, and it’s anyone’s guess who’ll emerge victorious. This fast-paced novel is a must read for its twists and turns and constant thrills.

Earth Unaware by Orson Scott Card,Aaron Johnston Pdf

A hundred years before Ender's Game, humans thought they were alone in the galaxy. Humanity was slowly making their way out from Earth to the planets and asteroids of the Solar System, exploring and mining and founding colonies. The mining ship El Cavador is far out from Earth, in the deeps of the Kuiper Belt, beyond Pluto. Other mining ships, and the families that live on them, are few and far between this far out. So when El Cavador's telescopes pick up a fast-moving object coming in-system, it's hard to know what to make of it. It's massive and moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light. But the ship has other problems. Their systems are old and failing. The family is getting too big. There are claim-jumping corporates bringing Asteroid Belt tactics to the Kuiper Belt. Worrying about a distant object that might or might not be an alien ship seems...not important. They're wrong. It's the most important thing that has happened to the human race in a million years. This is humanity's first contact with an alien race. The First Formic War is about to begin. Earth Unaware is the first novel in The First Formic War series by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston.

A Rift in the Earth by James Reston Pdf

A Distinguished and Bestselling Historian and Army Veteran Revisits the Culture War that Raged around the Selection of Maya Lin's Design for the Vietnam Memorial A Rift in the Earth tells the remarkable story of the ferocious “art war” that raged between 1979 and 1984 over what kind of memorial should be built to honor the men and women who died in the Vietnam War. The story intertwines art, politics, historical memory, patriotism, racism, and a fascinating set of characters, from those who fought in the conflict and those who resisted it to politicians at the highest level. At its center are two enduring figures: Maya Lin, a young, Asian-American architecture student at Yale whose abstract design won the international competition but triggered a fierce backlash among powerful figures; and Frederick Hart, an innovative sculptor of humble origins on the cusp of stardom. James Reston, Jr., a veteran who lost a close friend in the war and has written incisively about the conflict's bitter aftermath, explores how the debate reignited passions around Vietnam long after the war’s end and raised questions about how best to honor those who fought and sacrificed in an ill-advised war. Richly illustrated with photographs from the era and design entries from the memorial competition, A Rift in the Earth is timed to appear alongside Ken Burns's eagerly anticipated PBS documentary, The Vietnam War. “The memorial appears as a rift in the earth, a long polished black stone wall, emerging from and receding into the earth."—Maya Lin "I see the wall as a kind of ocean, a sea of sacrifice. . . . I place these figures upon the shore of that sea." —Frederick Hart
