Book Description
Ivory Bellows fell down a well. Ivory Bellows woke up in hell. Better listen to the big blue giant, zip your lip, and hush. Better not stare at his son who makes you blush. Imagine if you were a giant, fifteen-foot alien from another planet and found a strange being unconscious in a foreign object... a flying pod. The creature is tiny enough to be a child and you’d have such a big heart, you'd want to adopt this poor orphaned child, right? Only... what if the five-foot human yun didn't know she was your child? What if she thought she was your dinner instead? The Raza are a people full of honor, faith, and family. Especially Havak of the Jaha clan. His first yun is of his heart, not his blood. But when his mate dies and his beloved yun goes off into the world to study other people and languages, the Creators give him a second chance at life. He happens upon a strange little yun of a species unlike anything he’s ever seen. A strange, five-fingered species. When the yun wakes and screams, he gives her a bub-bub, wraps her in a pu-pu, and packs her in his sket to bring home. His huge heart is filled with love for his second adopted yun. ♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ Ivory Bellows wakes up in a strange land filled with blue giants. They threaten her in their strange language, shove a plug in her mouth to keep her quiet and take her home to fatten her up. And marinate her. They must marinate her when she sleeps, because she’s swollen and always needs to pee. Oh, God. She’s dinner. It’s only a matter of time until they decide when. But when a hot new alien arrives, the only way she can keep sane is to pretend he’s her husband and she’s his wife and everything is hunky-dory fine. Thank God this new arrival, Iik, doesn’t know her language. Yet. "I laughed so hard tears came out of my eyes and my cat left me to get away from my strange behavior." "This was the funniest romance book I have read in a year. I stayed up all night to read it." "I was delightfully entertained and read this in one sitting. It was unique, well written, and it was so FUNNY. "

The Eerie Silence
Author: Paul Davies
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0547488491
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
“Refreshing . . . A penetrating analysis of the assumptions that underlie SETI and the entire enterprise of searching for life beyond Earth.” —Chris McKay, Nature Fifty years ago, a young astronomer named Frank Drake first pointed a radio telescope at nearby stars in the hope of picking up a signal from an alien civilization. Thus began one of the boldest scientific projects in history, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). After a half-century of scanning the skies, however, astronomers have little to report but an eerie silence—eerie because many scientists are convinced that the universe is teeming with life. Physicist and astrobiologist Paul Davies has been closely involved with SETI for three decades and chairs the SETI Post-Detection Taskgroup, charged with deciding what to do if we’re suddenly confronted with evidence of alien intelligence. He believes the search so far has fallen into an anthropocentric trap—assuming that an alien species will look, think, and behave much like us. In this provocative book Davies refocuses the search, challenging existing ideas of what form an alien intelligence might take, how it might try to communicate with us, and how we should respond if it does. “Paul Davies gives us a panoramic view of the quickening search for cosmic company—a fascinating tale stuffed with novel ideas about the nature of intelligence far beyond our own.” —Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer, SETI Institute “An immensely readable investigation of the SETI enterprise . . . [A] wonderful book.” —New Scientist “A far-ranging look at what might happen here on Earth when we make first contact. Highly recommended for both science fiction and astronomy buffs.” —Publishers Weekly
