Book Description
Bill Waltham has a sneaking suspicion that a few important details were purposely withheld from him when he receives his assignment to the planet Dilbia. At first, the project - to teach the planet's bear-like inhabitants basic agricultural skills - seems a straightforward, though boring, undertaking for a young engineer on the rise. But Bill immediately senses a very keen hostility from the Dilbians toward interfering humans. And in trying to solve a major crisis on the planet, he finds himself involved in a knock-down, drag-out brawl that has all the undertones of a David-and-Goliath battle revisited.

The Right to Arm Bears
Author: Gordon R. Dickson
Publisher: Baen Books
ISBN: 1625795378
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 587
Book Description
Planet Dilbia is in a crucial location for both humans and their adversaries, the Hemnoids. Therefore making friends with the Dilbians and establishing a human presence there is of the utmost importance, which may be a problem, since the bearlike Dilbians; stand some nine feet tall, and have a high regard for physical prowess. They're not impressed by human technology, either. A real man, er, bear doesn't need machines to do his work for him. But Dilbians are impressed by sharp thinking, and some have expressed a grudging admiration for the logical (and usually sneaky) mental maneuvers that the human "shorties" have used to get themselves out of desperate jams. Just maybe that old human craftiness will win over the Dilbians; to the human side. If not, we lose a nexus, and the Dilbians will learn just how unbearable Hemnoids can be.... "Excellent!" -Science Fiction Review Publisher's Note: The Right to Arm Bears has previously appeared in parts as Spacial Delivery, Spacepaw, and "The Law-Twister Shorty." This is the first unitary edition, and those are the bear facts. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Book Description
In the good old days they gave you a suit of armour and a mighty steed to rescue a maiden in distress. But John Tardy didn't know about this battle until he was in it.

Space Mining and Manufacturing
Author: Davide Sivolella
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030308812
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
This book produces convincing evidence that exploiting the potential of space could help solve many environmental and social issues affecting our planet, such as pollution, overcrowding, resource depletion and conflicts, economic inequality, social unrest, economic instability and unemployment. It also touches on the legal problems that will be encountered with the implementation of the new technologies and new laws that will need to be enacted and new organizations that will need to be formed to deal with these changes. This proposition for a space economy is not science fiction, but well within the remit of current or under development technologies. Numerous technologies are described and put together to form a coherent and feasible road map that, if implemented, could lead humankind towards a brighter future.

Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
I'm obsessed with traveling to a hell dimension to stalk my dead ex-boyfriend. Getting in a float tank and transporting to a scifi-fantasy hellscape inside my head isn't exactly a normal obsession for a girl in her early twenties-social media addiction would be an improvement-but I'm not exactly a normal girl. I'm Kendra Temples, a horror writer with a serious case of grief and PTSD from a real-life exorcism gone wrong. And right when I was about switch to a hobby that won't get me committed, something happened that made me question if this other dimension really is "just my imagination". And if it's not-that means he's not really dead. To find out for sure, I'll have to return to the mansion, where the most traumatic night of my life happened, and risk my current real-world relationship. Anyways, as always with my weird life: I'll update you guys in my blog. It's Buffy meets Jodorowsky's Dune... in hell! Hellcrafter is a sequel to The Secret Name, which can be downloaded for free on Amazon. Praise for The Secret Name (Kendra Temples: The Demonic Diaries Vol. 1) "Kendra Temples' novella is at turns irreverent, deeply personal, disturbing, and nail-biting." - Matthew Gomez, Editor of Broadswords and Blasters Magazine "Fresh. Witty. Intriguing. Thrilling. The Secret Name pulls you in with a clear and concise writing voice, and an unravelling mystery. For every breadcrumb of information provided, there is another question needing answered; propelling you down an occult rabbit hole." - Jacey K "The Secret Name is an interesting, fun and often creepy little story, ideal for horror fans looking for a quick but engrossing read. " - Drew M.
