Exodus: The Archimedes Engine

Hamilton P: Exodus: The Helium Sea

Exodus: The Helium Sea

The epic conclusion of the Archimedes Engine duology by legendary author Peter F. Hamilton. Set in the universe of&nbsp;EXODUS, a new sci-fi action-adventure RPG coming soon from Archetype Entertainment. For millennia, the Crown Dominion has been at relative peace, with the Celestials in control and the human population little better than serfs. But now the Crown Dominion is facing a crisis of epic proportions—one that could change the balance of power in the Centauri Cluster forever—as an exiled faction that has been waiting for seven thousand years beyond the Helium Sea has returned to claim their vengeance. For Finn and his human allies, who have ended up at the center of this conflict either through circumstance or manipulation, this is an unprecedented opportunity. If they can band together, they may be able to outwit the Celestials and finally earn their fellow humans a place of independence and power in the Crown Dominion. But first they must locate and master ancient artifacts of immense power that could give them a needed edge in the conflict ahead. And all while ducking the forces that are determined to knock them off the board for good.

Explore EXODUS, a new sci-fi action-adventure RPG coming soon from Archetype Entertainment, in this epic novel from legendary author Peter F. Hamilton. Forty thousand years ago, humanity fled a dying Earth. Traveling in massive arkships, these brave pioneers spread out across the galaxy to find a new home. After traveling thousands of light-years, one fleet of arkships arrived at Centauri, a dense cluster of stars with a vast array of potentially habitable planets. The survivors of Earth signaled to the remaining arkships that humanity had finally found its new home among the stars. Thousands of years later, the Centauri Cluster has flourished. The original settlers have evolved into advanced beings known as Celestials and divided themselves into powerful Dominions. One of the most influential is that of the Crown Celestials, an alliance of five great houses that controls vast areas of Centauri. As arkships continue to arrive, the remaining humans and their descendants must fight for survival against overwhelming odds or be forced into serving the Crown Dominion. Among those yearning for a better life is Finn, for whom Earth is not a memory but merely a footnote from humanity’s ancient history. Born on one of the Crown Dominion worlds, Finn has known nothing but the repressive rule of the Celestials, though he dreams of the possibility of boundless space beyond his home. When another arkship from Earth, previously thought lost, unexpectedly arrives, Finn sees his chance to embrace a greater destiny and become a Traveler—one of a group of brave heroes dedicated to ensuring humanity’s future by journeying into the vast unknown of distant space.

Materialising the Digital

This book explores blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies to develop an infrastructural theory of money, and it demonstrates how payment infrastructures provide an analytical site where social studies of money and finance and science and technology studies can be fruitfully combined. The book utilises the blockchain and interoperability firm Ripple as a 'revelatory case' for investigating the entanglements of materiality, desire, space, and power that pervade all of money's infrastructures in cross-border payments and remittances. First, money's infrastructures have material dispositions: they enable and hinder users' behaviours, and unevenly distribute resources among users. Second, money's infrastructures have spatial dispositions: they produce and inhabit spatialities and chrono-topologies that take four forms - pyramids, rhizomes, platforms, stacks. Third, money's infrastructures have libidinal dispositions: money as infrastructure is shown to be shaped significantly by enchantment and desires. Fourth, money's infrastructures have political-economic dispositions, between seamless interoperability and transaction- and friction-replete platformisation.

An in-depth exploration of the network of agencies involved in policing child pornography—and what the future of security and care looks like. Facing the Child investigates the technocratic expertise in the policing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Mitali Thakor argues that CSAM has come to be framed as primarily a digital problem, to be resolved digitally, thereby unleashing a new form of corporatized policing helmed by global technology companies. Ambitious in scope, this multi-sited global ethnography draws on 4 years of original fieldwork and interviews with technology companies in the US, the United Nations in Bangkok, Thai and Dutch NGOs, and law enforcement in the US and the Netherlands. The book argues that in the 2010s, a network of technology companies, NGOs, and law enforcement created the notion of a “virtual child” in need of techno-solutionist saving to justify a vast expansion of surveillance technologies. The book examines how pervasive myths of child abuse online were exploited to serve the aims of seemingly disparate groups, from Christian neo-abolitionists to NGOs conducting virtual sting operations. It is this complex relationship between the care and securitization needed to fix the child victim as an object of data, concern, and rescue that the book explores.

Facing the Child

The book "Smoky the Cowhorse" by Will James chronicles the full life of a remarkable horse. It begins with Smoky's birth and early experiences as a wild range horse in the American West, detailing his interactions within the herd, encounters with predators, and the initial human intervention of branding. The narrative then follows Smoky's breaking and training by the skilled cowboy Clint on the Rocking R ranch. Despite initial resistance, Smoky develops a deep trust and affection for Clint, demonstrating exceptional loyalty and intelligence by rescuing an injured Clint. This bond solidifies, and Clint secures Smoky as his personal horse, with Smoky excelling as a cowhorse during roundups. However, their partnership is tragically interrupted when Smoky is stolen by a horse thief. Clint embarks on a relentless search for his beloved horse. After his theft, Smoky endures a period of severe abuse, transforming him into "The Cougar," a legendary, man-hating bucking horse in rodeos. His spirit eventually wanes, leading to his sale to a livery stable where he is renamed "Cloudy" and suffers neglect and harsh conditions, nearly dying. He finds brief solace with a kind old man before being sold again for grueling farm work. The story culminates with Clint unknowingly encountering the emaciated, broken horse. Recognizing the legendary bucking horse's past, Clint rescues Smoky, nursing him back to health over a harsh winter. Smoky slowly recovers, regaining his vitality and eventually returning to Clint, signifying the enduring power of their unique bond and the horse's complete redemption.

A novel by Will James that was the winner of the 1927 Newbery Medal

Flannery O'Connor on Writing

Zwischen Wunderwaffe und Wirtschaftswunder erzählt der Roman 'Wunder Bunker' vom Bau des größten Bunkers Deutschlands mit seinen Konzentrations- und Arbeitslagern als Chiffre deutscher und europäischer Geschichte im Übergang von den vierziger zu den fünfziger Jahren. Als historischer Roman deckt er die Kontinuitäten in dieser Geschichte auf, als literarische Parabel und Tierfabel entfaltet er aus der Perspektive einer Silbermöwe humorvoll die Abgründe menschlichen Daseins, als biographische Skizze beleuchtet er unterschiedliche Figuren, von Lagerinsassen aus ganz Europa, von Architekten und Ingenieuren, von Wachmannschaften und scheinbar unbeteiligten Nachbarn als Psychogramm der Zeit, als Thriller entfaltet er die Spannungen zwischen brutaler Gewalt und ästhetischem Widerstand.

Wunder Bunker

Amy Landino helps high-achieving women close the gap between capability and capacity by building energy, creating leverage, and designing systems that allow them to grow without collapse. You're not bad at productivity. You're exhausted by it. You've mastered capability. You can handle anything. You run the meeting, build the business, manage the household, remember the birthdays, hit the goals. You are the person everyone counts on. And that's exactly the problem. Traditional productivity advice tells you to optimize your time, wake up earlier, automate more, and squeeze extra output from an already overextended life. But time management can't solve an energy problem. And capability is not the same thing as capacity. In this book, Amy Schmittauer Landino introduces a new operating system for ambitious, high-performing women who are ready to expand-without burning out. Through the five-pillar TERMS framework-Total Clarity, Energy Cultivation, Ruthless Removal, Massive Action, and Systematic Engagement-you'll learn how to:· Escape the "gratitude trap" that keeps you from wanting more · Close the gap between what you're capable of and what you have capacity for · Eliminate obligations that quietly drain your power · Focus on leverage instead of busywork · Build systems (including smart use of AI) that create freedom, not more responsibility This isn't about doing more. It's about building the energetic, strategic capacity to pursue what actually matters. If you're already successful but secretly stretched thin... If you're capable of more but unsure how to expand without collapse... If you're tired of productivity advice that ignores your real life... this book is your permission slip-and your blueprint. Because you don't need to prove you can handle everything. You need a system that helps you build something that lasts.

Don't Panic

Sie nennen ihn den Polaroid-Killer. Wenn sie die Überreste seiner Opfer finden, stecken die Fotos in ihren Mündern. Ihren Augenhöhlen. Tief in ihren Eingeweiden. Ein Sadismus, der über den Tod hinausgeht.
Noch bevor die Mordserie beginnt, stoßen Student Luca und seine Mitbewohnerin Maja online auf verstörende Videos eines Tierquälers. Fest entschlossen, dem Uploader das Handwerk zu legen, schließen sie sich einer Gruppe von Internet-Hobbydetektiven an. Schon bald sind sie sicher, dass die menschliche Bestie zu größerer Beute übergegangen ist und mittlerweile als Polaroid-Killer auf Menschenjagd geht. Aber als sie zu tief graben, fallen sie in ein blutgetränktes Rabbithole. Was sie am tiefsten Punkt entdecken, übersteigt jegliche Vorstellungskraft.

Die Legende von Grim und Tamara

Das riesige Reich Arakan wird von einem König regiert, dessen Jahre als Herrscher gezählt sind. Bisher vom Magier-Orden, der mächtigsten Instanz des Landes unterstützt, wendet sich genau diese gegen ihn. Dabei hat es der Orden nicht nur auf den Thron, sondern die vollkommene Herrschaft abgesehen. Um das Volk gefügig zu halten, wird ein neuer Glaube eingeführt, an dessen mysteriösen Gott sich die Geister scheiden.

Dabei ist der Fokus auf Grim und Tamara, den Hauptfiguren dieser Geschichte, gerichtet. Zu Beginn zwei einfache Jugendliche ohne eine nennenswerte Kampfausbildung, dauert es nicht lange, bis sie in die Machenschaften des Ordens verstrickt werden. Nachdem der neue Glaube auch in ihrem Heimatdorf einzieht, kommt es zu einer Tragödie und ihr Leben verändert sich für immer.

Begleitet Grim und Tamara auf ihrem Rachefeldzug!
