DOWNLOAD EBOOKSeaquake. It was the most dreaded of all undersea phenomena. If strong enough, it would set up chain-reaction pressures that could shatter any dome and cost inestimable lives. But the Krakatoan Dome has been specifically designed to cope with the tremors of its seaquake-prone area. The trouble was, all of a sudden, there were more quakes than any of the experts had counted on... quakes that no one could possibly have forecast because they hadn't come from natural causes. The Sub-Sea Academy had assigned Cadet Jim Eden to the Krakatoan Dome to find out what was going on, and for very special reasons. First, he was more at home in the underwater world than almost anyone else. But, even more important, they sent Jim because his Uncle was suspected of being the heinous saboteur!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCommunities around the United States face the threat of being underwater. This is not only a matter of rising waters reaching the doorstep. It is also the threat of being financially underwater, owning assets worth less than the money borrowed to obtain them. Many areas around the country may become economically uninhabitable before they become physically unlivable. In Underwater, Rebecca Elliott explores how families, communities, and governments confront problems of loss as the climate changes. She offers the first in-depth account of the politics and social effects of the U.S. National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which provides flood insurance protection for virtually all homes and small businesses that require it. In doing so, the NFIP turns the risk of flooding into an immediate economic reality, shaping who lives on the waterfront, on what terms, and at what cost. Drawing on archival, interview, ethnographic, and other documentary data, Elliott follows controversies over the NFIP from its establishment in the 1960s to the present, from local backlash over flood maps to Congressional debates over insurance reform. Though flood insurance is often portrayed as a rational solution for managing risk, it has ignited recurring fights over what is fair and valuable, what needs protecting and what should be let go, who deserves assistance and on what terms, and whose expectations of future losses are used to govern the present. An incisive and comprehensive consideration of the fundamental dilemmas of moral economy underlying insurance, Underwater sheds new light on how Americans cope with loss as the water rises.

Something of value was buried beneath the underwater dome city of Marinia...something that had already cost one man's life, caused another man's kidnapping and gravely affected still another man's future. Expelled from the Sub-Sea Academy on trumped-up charges, Jim Eden wasn't about to wait around to prove his innocence. As soon as he leaned that his uncle mysteriously disappeared while mining uranium at the bottom of hazardous Eden Deep, Jim knew what he had to do...and that he had to do it fast. So he headed for the vast dome city - location of the great mining colony at the bottom of the sea - to pick up any clues to his uncle's disappearance. But once he had entered the undersea metropolis, the wrong people had his number...and they were determined that Jim would sink forever without a trace.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlmost 100 years have passed since the Union of Neptu united the people of the planet. But Cat, the Neptian computer, predicts an imminent attack by the Qhan, a reptilian race, under their self-appointed god Qhatan and the Empire of a Thousand Planets. Neptu and the Qhan home planet, Zhra, are connected by a star gate that has long been sealed, but the despotic Qhatan will stop at nothing to open it again, draining both his resources and his people. When young psychic Joran of Zhra contacts Cat after Qhatan brutally terminates his father, Cat foresees a way to stop their predicted invasion. He reawakens Jalath the Sorcerer to help the young Zoltan develop his psychic powers, a force against Qhatan, and lead a mass exodus to Earth, which has recovered from nuclear holocaust. Meanwhile, on Zhra, Joran seeks to liberate his people, but Qhatan’s minions stalk him in Zhra’s subterranean tunnels, and as Jalath travels the states of Neptu looking for candidates to establish a new colony on Earth, a group of zealots will stop at nothing to discredit Jalath’s knowledge and work. The third book in the Devistor series, The Empire of a Thousand Planets plunges readers once again into Jefferson’s deeply sophisticated universe, only to find it balancing on the edge of a knife.
