Book Description
They were once humanity's last hope: a race of genetically engineered killing machines known as the Phaestor and their army of deadly Moktar Dragons. Now, the enemy long vanquished, the Phaestor themselves have become the enemy, seizing control of the galaxy and subjugating all lesser species—including humans—to feed their appetite for terror and blood. On a small, insignificant planet called Thoska-Roole, a ragtag alliance of humans, androids, and bioforms make a last desperate stand against Phaestor domination. Among their number are two bounty hunters, a mercenary starship captain, and a disgraced reptilian warrior. As the Phaestor begin a new reign of unprecedented terror, these rebels prepare to strike back against their vampire overlords and bring revolution to the stars. Under the Eye of God, the first installment of Trackers, is followed by its sequel, A Covenant of Justice, where the fight for the galaxy continues.

She was born in the moonstar's shadow when the storms of Satlik raged their worst. Because of this, Jobe was different. The family never spoke of it, but everyone knew Jobe was special. So Jobe came to know of it, too.

And slowly, ever so slowly, Jobe retreated from the world, from the time of decision. Then the ultimate cataclysm wracked the planet, threatening all her people had struggled to create, and Jobe came forth at last to fulfill her destiny and begin the quest that the moonstar had set for her so many years ago… Nebula award nominee for best novel of the year (1977).

The Ross Dependency
Author: F.M. Auburn
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9401195404
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
In the year 1867 the United States purchased Alaska from Russia for the sum of 7,200,000 dollars. At the time the Americans did not under stand why money was being spent on buying a desert. A hundred years later one of the largest oilfields in the world was discovered there at Prudhoe Bay. There seems little doubt that large mineral resources will be found and exploited in the Canadian Arctic. In Greenland min ing is now being planned on a large scale, under conditions comparable to those of the Antarctic. No economically exploitable deposits of minerals have been found in Antarctica, but there is no doubt that large deposits exist. Whether the progress of technology will enable such deposits to be located and economically mined is not clear. Experts confidently state that at present this is not feasible. Forty years ago an expert asserted that during our geological period there would be no transit of the Northwest Passage by ship. The voyage was accomplished in 1969 by a large commercial tanker. Economic resources, and nothing else should be the reason for New Zealand activities in the Ross Dependency. Other reasons have been advanced. One is scientific research. Yet this could be done far more cheaply by supplying funds to existing research projects in New Antarctic budget is spent on logistics and Zealand for much of our support rather than research itself. Just keeping alive in Antarctica is an expensive business.
