Book Description
A young man seeks vengeance against the man who killed his parents in this action-packed science fiction thriller series opener. It is the distant future. The world known as Virga is a fullerene balloon three thousand kilometers in diameter, filled with air, water, and aimlessly floating chunks of rock. The humans who live in this vast environment must build their own fusion suns and “towns” that are in the shape of enormous wood and rope wheels that are spun for gravity. Young, fit, bitter, and friendless, Hayden Griffin is a very dangerous man. He’s come to the city of Rush in the nation of Slipstream with one thing in mind: to take murderous revenge for the deaths of his parents six years ago. His target is Admiral Chaison Fanning, head of the fleet of Slipstream, which conquered Hayden’s nation of Aerie years ago. And the fact that Hayden’s spent his adolescence living with pirates doesn’t bode well for Fanning’s chances . . .

THE SUN CREATION THEORY presents the Creation of the Universe
Author: R.L. Dwyer
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency
ISBN: 1628574585
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
“THE SUN CREATION THEORY presents the Creation of the Universe” will introduce a new and alternative scientific view for the genesis of the Universe, which is currently stated as the “Big Bang Theory” with its fiery explosion of a primordial atom. Instead, the Sun Creation Theory depicts that the beginning of the cosmos was achieved with the creation of the absolute First Sun of the Universe. This is considered the most important event of all time, from which all else will follow. Also presented is a totally new concept that Suns birth Suns, Suns birth Planets, and Planets birth Moons, all accomplished in a very natural sequence of events. The long debated “accretion theory” for these formations can now be set aside. At last a logical explanation can be given as to why all Planets are beholding to their Parent Sun, and why Moons are beholding to their Parent Planet. Finally, the author states that while studying the subject of LIGHT as it pertains to radiation from the trillions upon trillions of Suns in the Universe: “It is my belief that I may have inadvertently stumbled onto the cause of Dark Matter in the Universe.” A totally new theory is being outlined which is the first of its kind. It will require much new thinking by the scientific community before a decision can be made as to its merits. This is the way of science.

The Sun
Author: David Whitehouse
Publisher: Weidenfeld & Nicolson
ISBN: 147460109X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
In The Sun, David Whitehouse takes us on a journey to the heart of our local star and beyond, relating how it was born, the many ways it influences life on Earth and how it will die. He recounts the many myths surrounding the Sun and the fascinating stories of scientists throughout history who have attempted to discover its secrets - occasionally at the price of their lives. The Sun explores the role of the sun for those on Earth, from the earliest civilizations that worshipped it, through its emulation in art and literature to the present day. He describes the inferno at its core, the magnetic chaos of its surface and the furthest reaches of its atmosphere that stretches beyond the planets out into the galaxy. Within our lifetimes he considers that changes in the sun will become noticeable, an issue that we ignore at our peril. Finally, David Whitehouse speculates on the future of life on Earth with a sun that must ultimately turn into a red giant. From its birth in a cloud of gas and dust, its long lifetime nurturing life on our own planet, to its death as a cosmic cinder, this is our Sun's story.
