Henry Gallant is the captain of the spacecraft carrier Constellation. He is the last hope of the Marines stranded on a volcanic wasteland nine light-years from Earth. Not since Guadalcanal has the Second Marine Division faced a grimmer struggle to hold on against a powerful and ruthless enemy. As the Titan invaders close in, the Marines wonder if there is the "will" to save them. Top Gun pilots Rob Ryan and Lorelei West take a desperate gamble to save Nathan Steward and the remnants of the 2nd Division. Will they be in time? Will they be enough?

Violet longs for the time when her family was connected: before life, distractions, and technology pulled them all away from each other. They used to gather at the table, with food and love, to make memories, share their lives, and revel in time spent together. But now her family has been drifting apart, and with nobody to gather around it, the table grows smaller and smaller. Can Violet remind her family of the warmth of time spent together and gather around the table once more?

Alice Green's lost and recently found eyewitness accounts of her childhood, her own war, the Golden Years of Radio, and the postwar housing shortage, are told from the light-hearted viewpoint of the shy, youngest child, who learns she can make even the stormy and outrageous characters in her own family laugh. With a little help from her son, who (just barely) lived to finish it, her story stands for unsung American women in war and survives as Alice's triumph.

Perry Rhodan und seine Begleiter an Bord des Fernraumschiffs SOL haben sich ein Ziel gesetzt: Sie wollen unter allen Umständen die in der Unendlichkeit verschwundene Erde wiederfinden! Offensichtlich kann ihnen ein hohes kosmisches Wesen wichtige Hinweise für ihre Mission geben.

Das Jahr 425 Neuer Galaktischer Zeitrechnung wird zum Schicksalsjahr für die Menschheit. Seth-Apophis, eine fremde Superintelligenz, bedroht die Milchstraße.

One in every 100 people in the United States is affected by the autoimmune condition called Celiac Disease. And 97 percent of them are undiagnosed. Discover how this inflammatory condition of the intestines can affect every system in the body and why it is important to get a proper diagnosis.

From healthcare to workplace conduct, the federal government is taking on ever more responsibility for managing our lives. At the same time, Americans have never been more disaffected with Washington, seeing it as an intrusive, incompetent, wasteful giant. The most alarming consequence of ineffective policies, in addition to unrealized social goals, is the growing threat to the government’s democratic legitimacy. Understanding why government fails so often - and how it might become more effective - is an urgent responsibility of citizenship.

Die Betschiden sind Menschen - aber sie leben weit entfernt von der Erde, in einer fremden Sterneninsel. Bis vor kurzem kannten sie nur den Überlebenskampf auf einer Dschungelwelt. Sie wissen immerhin, dass ihre Vorfahren Raumfahrer waren, Bewohner des legendären Raumschiffs SOL. Aber von der Vergangenheit kennen sie nur die Legenden. Seit einiger Zeit müssen sich drei Betschiden in der Raumflotte des Herzogtums von Krandhor behaupten. Sie suchen die Spur ihrer Vorfahren.

Am Ende des vierten Jahrtausends: Die SOL, ein über sechs Kilometer langes Raumschiff, ist in der Gewalt eines unbekannten Gegners. Den rund 100.000 Menschen...

Wir schreiben das Jahr 425 Neuer Galaktischer Zeitrechnung. Die Kosmische Hanse, die bedeutendste Handelsorganisation in der Milchstraße, wird von schweren Anschlägen der Superintelligenz Seth-Apophis heimgesucht.

Nicht nur Perry Rhodan muss verblüfft zur Kenntnis nehmen, dass sich sein Bild vom Universum ändert: Die Naturgesetze des Universums werden seit Milliarden von Jahren durch riesenhafte Gebilde gesteuert. Zu ihnen gehören der monströse Frostrubin und das geheimnisvolle Tiefenland. Geraten diese Gebilde außer Kontrolle, können viele Sterneninseln ins Chaos gestürzt werden - mit zahllosen Todesopfern. Deshalb ist Rhodan darauf bedacht, die Mission der Endlosen Armada nach Jahrmillionen zu einem positiven Ende zu bringen.

Klimaerwärmung, Meeresvermüllung, Raubbau an unserer Umwelt - die Zukunft unseres Planeten steht auf dem Spiel. Den Hauptschuldigen sieht der ehemalige Spitzenmanager Peter H. Grassmann in der zügellosen Marktwirtschaft. Um zu einer nachhaltigen und fairen Wirtschaftsweise zu kommen, brauchen wir endlich einen strengen Ordnungsrahmen und ein partizipatives Markt- und Demokratiemodell. Die heutige repräsentative Demokratie ist zu schwach, um die Gefahren, die unserer Gesellschaft drohen, zu besiegen.

Can scientific explanation ever make reference to God or the supernatural? The present consensus is no; indeed, a naturalistic stance is usually taken to be a distinguishing feature of modern science. Science Without God?: Rethinking the History of Scientific Naturalism shows that the history of Western science presents us with a more nuanced picture.

Henry Gallant thought Alaina loved him, but now she's found someone else. A tidal wave of loss and grief sweep over him, leaving him undecided about what to do next, or how to move forward. Despite his sorrow, he goes on a dangerous mission to an invading aliens' home world in the Gliese-581 star system. There he uses a neural interface to penetrate their communication network and steals a high-ranking alien's identity. Through this artifice, he learns about their history and society and discovers a way to hinder and possibly defeat them.

In the 22nd century, the people of the Solar System have banded together against an alien invasion. Unfortunately, they're losing - badly. As the only Natural remaining in the genetically engineered officer corps of the United Planet's fleet, Henry Gallant has unique mental abilities that have proven essential to the defense against the Titan invaders. Nevertheless his fellow officers lack faith in him, and worse, he has angered prominent men by speaking truth to power.

In an era of genetic engineering, Lieutenant Henry Gallant is the only Natural (non-genetically enhanced) officer left in the fleet.

With Alaina's help, he discovers that the ancient AI has a sinister ulterior motive and he must match his exceptional mind against the complexity of machine intelligence to escape the ultimate trap and prevent the extermination of humanity.
