Book Description
Human space has been long developed; and human history has been, typically, one hell of a roller-coaster ride. Mankind has, however, ensured the survival of the species by building homes everywhere, some of which are hidden. The Zeus System—encompassing the Twin Worlds of Diana and Apollo, a binary planet system orbiting Zeus of the Gemini cluster—is beyond Drago Leonis, 863 light-years from Earth. The year is 6229 of the terran-standard calendar. Having spent two thousand years clawing back from the hunter-gatherer stage they were bombed into, by the confederation, the Twin Worlders were finally back at the level of a late twenty-first-century civilization. It was a hard-fought struggle and was only possible because of the only significant technology that survived the initial onslaught—Latona, the Oracle. An artificial intelligence is inhabiting a facility buried deep under Mount Parnassus on Diana; and as a part of her systems, she includes the full Terran Encyclopedia, initially created by the Second Terran Republic. Now, the confederation has found them again, but memories are short, records are fragile, and two thousand years is a long time. The confederation has forgotten why they had attacked the Twin Worlds the first time. Indeed, it is not quite the same confederation anymore either. In some important ways, it was much worse. However, Latona does remember, and she knows that her time has just run out and her charges are nowhere near ready to defend their worlds. Latona must reacquire star-faring technology while keeping her secrets hidden. She must prepare her charges for the interstellar war that she knows will come while living under the very nose of the confederation and before the confederation discovers the secrets of the Twin Worlds.

Book Description
Peter Foerthmann has spent his life in the service of Aeolus, the Keeper of the Winds. He learned to harness the power of the wind first as a sailor and then as the man behind the Windpilot windvane self-steering company. The winds of fortune have by turns favoured (his serendipitous meeting with Windpilot founder John Adam, for example) and tormented (numerous legal entanglements being the most prominent example) him without ever managing to blow him entirely off course - a course that stretches to the horizon and beyond, where sailing dreams become reality (at least for those with the right transom ornament). This book presents the recollections of a self-taught original who, heedless of convention and rely-ing strictly on his own internal compass, has developed a unique understanding of social interaction among sailors, who have rewarded him in turn by spreading the word about his products effectively enough to make Windpilot the world market leader for windvane self-steering systems. Building up the company and developing a product that enables sailors the world over to enjoy long passages freed from the need to steer continuously has given Peter an all but unparalleled insight into blue-water sailing and an expertise in various related areas that he has shared in several highly regarded specialist publications. A compulsive writer, Peter takes as much pleasure in choosing his words as he does in telling his story, the story of how he swapped a boat for the idea that became his life, how he went from a tra-ditional workshop-based operation building everything by hand to what must surely be one of the world's smallest state-of-the-art industrial manufacturing companies and, most importantly of all for him, how he has managed to defend and maintain his independence both commercially and socially by sticking to his principles - fairness, respect, empathy - and learning, not without incident, to choose his friends wisely. Above all, this is the story of half a century in the windvane self-steering business, a story that - Aeolus willing - still has a long way to run.

In this book you will be told about the story of the Tower of Winds, which is on Aeolus Street, not far the Athens? Parthenon. The tower had its origin in a daydream of Andronicus, lover of winds and stars. In plain sight of the Athenians, he turned his dream into a reality. The Tower of Winds would tell passersby which wind that was blowing that day. But if Andronicus built the tower, what has Aeolus got to do with it?; and just how many winds are there that a tower was needed to tell the people which wind was blowing? Also, do the winds have names? If so, what are they? Well, to find the answers to these questions, and any others you may have, you will have to download and read this story to find out!
