Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Alpha Centauri - a global reflection allied to a ticking time bomb. Overwhelmed by alien overlords of indeterminate origin, Pamela Cavendish battles against the invaders' genocidal atrocities in a contemporary thriller, or is it an allegorical tale, warning of the shape of things to come? Possibly from Alpha Centauri, an alien infestation descends on the northern Occident, Pamela Cavendish barely registering their presence until she meets journalist Stephen Thornly. He informs her the biggest front page showstopper is the rise of the invaders in England. During a period of nationwide alien opposition, Thornly is sentenced to four years in Stalag 51 for anti-alien activities and Pamela becomes a courier for a resistance cell. Soon after Thornly’s release, Pamela is molested by an alien. Gaining absolute power, the colonists dissolve Parliament and begin women farming for alien pleasures. Englishmen battle with the parasites to protect their women, towering numbers of the colonists forcing them to take refuge in the national parks. Unconvinced the aggressors are space cadets, people concur they are of earthbound origin! Uniting as a liberation army, the English drive the infiltrators out of England. Returning with crushing numbers, the interlopers recapture England slaughtering all before them, remnants of the population making for ports to escape on ships to the Antipodes, Pamela and Stephen landing in Perth. Just after the alien lair is discovered, a ginormous outlander armada appears off Western Australia. Overcoming defending forces, the infringers make land, driving people into the desert outback. Resigned to their fate, the situation begins to look hopeless. Nature comes to the rescue. Originating in China, a highly contagious infection designated ‘crownvirus’ blankets the entire globe. Not affecting Occidental peoples, it obliterates the aliens.

Voyage to Alpha Centauri
Author: Michael D. O'Brien
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1681496143
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 765
Book Description
Set eighty years in the future, this novel by the best-selling author Michael O'Brien is about an expedition sent from the planet Earth to Alpha Centauri, the star closest to our solar system. The Kosmos, a great ship that the central character Neil de Hoyos describes as a "flying city", is immense in size and capable of more than half light-speed. Hoyos is a Nobel Prize winning physicist who has played a major role in designing the ship. Hoyos has signed on as a passenger because he desires to escape the seemingly benign totalitarian government that controls everything on his home planet. He is a skeptical and quirky misanthropic humanist with old tragedies, loves, and hatreds that are secreted in his memory. The surprises that await him on the voyage-and its destination-will shatter all of his assumptions and point him to a true new horizon. Science fiction and fantasy literature are genres that have become dominant forces in contemporary worldwide culture. Our fascination with the near-angelic powers of new technology, its benefits and dangers, its potential for obsession and catastrophe, raises vital questions that this work explores about human nature and the cosmos, about man's image of himself and where he is going-and why he seeks to go there.
