How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming
Author: Mike Brown
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0385531109
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
The solar system most of us grew up with included nine planets, with Mercury closest to the sun and Pluto at the outer edge. Then, in 2005, astronomer Mike Brown made the discovery of a lifetime: a tenth planet, Eris, slightly bigger than Pluto. But instead of adding one more planet to our solar system, Brown’s find ignited a firestorm of controversy that culminated in the demotion of Pluto from real planet to the newly coined category of “dwarf” planet. Suddenly Brown was receiving hate mail from schoolchildren and being bombarded by TV reporters—all because of the discovery he had spent years searching for and a lifetime dreaming about. A heartfelt and personal journey filled with both humor and drama, How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming is the book for anyone, young or old, who has ever imagined exploring the universe—and who among us hasn’t?

Book Description
All gods are real...they're just dicks. Katrina was just a normal person with a simple life. Then, the Apocalypse descended upon her, and she spent two years fighting with and living among monsters. They were neither pleasant nor polite neighbors, so she snapped and set out to Hell to kill the Devil. That's when the carnage started. Action, adventure, humor, and chaos abound in this mythological fantasy supernatural thriller book box set that's paced for edge of your seat excitement. Join Katrina on three hair-raising adventures that pit her against God, the Devil, Zeus, Hera, and Cronos himself as she traipses across the universe breaking as many things as she fixes, fighting her way through Greek, Roman, and Judeo-Christian mythology, and causing trouble at every stop along the way. If you love action-adventure fantasy stories, monsters, mythology, and heroines with their sass and snark turned up to 11, then this book is for you. Get it now. ★★★★★ These are three of the most exciting, enjoyable and often funny stories I have read in a long time. Katrina and her motley crew create havoc on earth, in heaven and across the universe, but her unerring sense of fairness and optimism can't help but leave a reader feeling that the world ... and everything, is in good hands. ★★★★★ If you like your heroes to have witty and foul mouths and have skills fighting demons, and other underworld riff raff then these books are for you. ★★★★★wow this set of books are amazing and to get it on in one set yesss. If you haven't read any of the Katrina series then you really should. Katrina goes and battles her way through the hell and heavens and man does she take you on one great adventure. ★★★★★ I was a huge fan of the classical Greek and Roman gods when I studied them in high school and university, so this book scored bonus points with me before I even left swiped past the cover on my Kindle.

KOP Killer

Category : Fiction

Book Description
KOP Killer, a darkly dystopian science fiction thriller from Warren Hammond Juno Mozambe once had a life. That was when he was a dirty cop, married to a woman who suffered such profound abuse that she murdered her vile, drug kingpin father. Juno loved his wife and did his best to help her survive her guilt, her drug habit, and her desire to end her life on the dead-end planet of Lagarto. When she died, however, Juno's life went downhill. And then his first partner, the corrupt chief of the Koba Office of Police, was murdered. The man responsible, Emil Mota, is using the KOP for his personal gain. Juno has been laying low, but now he's ready to do whatever it takes to take down the bastard. Rather than working from inside the system, he's decided that the only way to take down the KOP is to create an independent base of power. So he gets involved with a team of dirty cops and starts working as a rent-a-thug for a whorehouse that needs protection. Juno's last partner knows that his risky plan has a purpose, but she's that rarest of creatures on the hothouse planet of Lagarto: an honest cop. She can't help him. When Juno discovers a series of profoundly twisted murders, he faces a bleak possibility: in his desperate quest for vengeance against the man who targeted him for death, Juno may have placed himself beyond any hope of redemption....

The Survival of Mankind
Author: Robert Maschmann
Publisher: tredition
ISBN: 3384060709
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
Although humans are by no means a threatened species on this planet, humans are obviously concerned and fearful that mankind will not survive and that the animal species Homo sapiens will be annihilated forever. This seems to be a contradiction. In this book, the author shows that this apparent contradiction is not one. The author shows that the fear of humans that mankind could be annihilated in whatever way is undoubtedly justified and that this fear is not just the unfounded imagination of a species that is apparently more or less so overwhelmed with its own existence that it constantly fantasises about its own demise. However, if this fear of humans that mankind could be wiped out by whatever events is actually justified, then a question immediately arises, the answer to which is, so to speak, the purpose of this book: What would be the conditions that would have to be fulfilled so that under all possible circumstances and for every conceivable case this annihilation of all mankind could be prevented or avoided and there would therefore be no end of mankind? In accordance with the subtitle of this book, the author will therefore make speculations about the conditions under which the continued existence of the animal species Homo sapiens and thus also of Mankind could be guaranteed under all possible circumstances and for every conceivable case.
