Book Description
It was the last planet left for men to conquer - a planet rich in priceless urillium ore, yet no man laid a finger on this wealth that was for the taking. For the planet Vendor could not be conquered. Space-men tried time and time again, but always the Voices drove them mad and destroyed them. Some intangible power kept men away from that taunting prize - until a scientist on Deneb IV perfected a blanketing device to protect his shop through the barrier. It took him twenty years to do it and every penny he possessed, but at last his voyage to Vendor began. It was the voyage of a gambler who knew that only two alternatives faced him...illimitable wealth and glory, or failure and death. But the journey to Vendor brought hazards that neither he nor his crew had foreseen, and before its conclusion a force was unwittingly released that could have swept life from the Universe - the indestructible and horrifying force of THE METAL EATER.

Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Alderose Brodeur must avenge more than her parents' deaths. I use my muscles more than my magic. I have to. My father learned the hard way that magic can be sucked dry. He made certain I knew a good right hook is priceless, and to keep my blades sharp. He's dead now. My two sisters and I are talking again. But there's so much Clementine and Beryl don't know about me--and there's no time for a girls' night out. The three of us must go up against Lionel Vigne, the same fae who brought down our parents. We know he's hiding in the French Alps. He's on the cusp of forcefully breeding rare Magicals, the crime that got him banished from fae lands. I want to complete my mother's mission on my own. Do I blend the metal in my blood with my blades and use brute force to end Lionel's tyranny? Or, if I truly am the Scarab Eater's Daughter, do I put down my blades and let my magic act as a lure?

The Biology of Science Fiction Cinema
Author: Mark C. Glassy
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476608229
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Science fiction films of the 1930s and 1940s were often set in dark laboratories that had strange looking glass containers with bubbling fluids and mad scientists conducting glandular and hormonal experiments. In the 1950s, films were more focused on radiation induced mutations. The 1960s and 1970s brought more sophisticated biological sciences to the movies and focused on such relatively new concepts as immunology, cyrobiology, and biochemistry. In the 1980s and 1990s, the focus of science fiction films has been DNA. This work of film criticism relates 71 science fiction films to the biological sciences. The author covers cell biology, pharmacology, endocrinology, hematology, and entomology, to name just a few topics. An analysis of each film includes a brief plot synopsis, the author's favorite quotations, the biological principles involved, the accuracy of the laboratory, and correct and incorrect biological information. In his analyses, the author sets out what would be required to achieve in real life the results seen in the movies and whether these experiments or events could actually happen.
