Book Description
An epic space opera from Michael T. Kuester Once, humans were masters of their galaxy. Then they met the Others. They never communicated, or even showed their faces. They seemed driven by a single goal: the complete extinction of humanity. Amid their genocidal campaign, the survivors in the Sol system constructed the Lock: a Dyson sphere surrounding the inner planets, hiding them from the Others. Millennia later, what remains of humanity languishes within the Lock, oppressed by the shadowy Protectorate, which banned extrasolar travel. Now, their security forces work to uphold laws no one cares enough to break. Braylen Roads is content to serve as a ship captain, until a chance encounter with the enigmatic Declan March leads him to break the most inviolate law of the Protectorate: do not travel beyond the Lock. Banished with March for his crime, Braylen finds himself in command of an ancient and wondrous starship. With an unlikely crew including a tenacious reporter and a quasi-human child wise beyond her years, he must seek out survivors of the Others' purge, unravel the mysteries of the Protectorate, and restore humanity to its rightful place among the stars.

Pages : 475
Book Description
On the verge of extinction, only the gravest imaginable crime against humanity can save it...A bold new plan seeks to ignite a new Sunspot over Greenhouse, saving the habitat domes crucial to the survival of the Solacian people. But a secret clouds this symbol of much-needed hope: human space is contracting at a startling rate, threatening to wipe out all living worlds—including Earth. The only answer lies in the hands of the founder of the planet Solace: Oskar DeSilvo, seemingly returned from the dead to save the worlds his frauds had doomed to destruction. But as the work begins, agents of the Chronologic Patrol step in to prevent interference with the past—even at the risk of dooming humanity. Thwarted at every turn, DeSilvo and his onetime nemesis, Anton Koffield, propose one last wildly grandiose idea—one final, desperate gamble. But if the only choice lies between madness and certain catastrophe—is there any choice at all? From the Paperback edition.

Multicultural Writers from Antiquity to 1945
Author: Alba Amoia
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313016488
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 508
Book Description
The final decades of the 20th century have seen an explosion of interest in multiculturalism. But multiculturalism is more than an awareness of the different cultures comprising contemporary societies. For centuries, people from around the world have come in contact with cultures other than their own, and their exposure to multiple cultures has fostered their creativity and ability to make lasting contributions to civilization. The effects of multiculturalism are especially apparent in literature, since writers tend to be particularly aware of their environments and record their experiences. This reference includes alphabetically arranged entries for more than 100 world writers from antiquity to 1945, who were significantly influenced by cultures other than their own. Included are entries for major canonical Ancient and Modern writers of the Western and Eastern worlds. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and includes a brief biography, a discussion of multicultural themes and contexts, a summary of the writer's critical reception, and primary and secondary bibliographies. By illuminating the shaping influence of multiculturalism on these writers, the volume points to the lasting value of multiculturalism in the contemporary world.
