If you could be the first to lay eyes upon a planet orbiting a distant star, would you go? If it meant that when you returned home-if you returned home-everyone you knew would have been dead for centuries, would you still go? The members of the Polaris Project knew what they were giving up when they volunteered to fly to the star named Angel-21, but the allure of being the first explorers to leave the Solar System far outweighed the risks. As it turned out, the most dangerous thing they faced wasn't the mission ... it was the homecoming. Eight hundred years have passed and Earth is nothing like they thought it would be.As Commander Markus Brentwood scrambles to uncover the mystery of what's happened to Earth in their absence, he also must contend with an increasingly dysfunctional crew and a damaged ship that's flying on borrowed time. What should have been a joyous return home after a long, hard mission has turned into a race to see which nightmare would kill them first.Blueshift is an all new sci-fi adventure from Joshua Dalzelle, author of the bestselling Omega Force Series and Black Fleet Saga.

The first aliens to arrive on planet Earth were the Dorts. They were amoebalike and frighteningly large, but they did favor us with the Theory of Transformationa brilliant advance over prior attempts by theoretical and particle physicists to create the ultimate, Unified Theory of Everything; but like all great theories, even theirs had limitations. Centuries after the first Dorts arrived, Laura Shane was born. She reinterpreted the Dort Theory by giving it the finishing touch of her genius. It led to the faster than light removal of miles-deep, cone-shaped plugs from planet Earth. The latest and largest such Cone carried a crew of thousands. It was named the Great Cone of Transformation. Through his 3T Corporation, Ned Keller directed the creation of Cones. Despite Lauras unease about her first voyage into space, she and Ned went together on the Great Cones maiden mission. Two weeks later they were light years from home when Neds boss, Jack Lewis, arrived to inform them of an event on Earth with implications for their mission. Unfortunately his concern did not include awareness of what those implications might be; but they were already in peril. It was sabotagethe first in a series of calamities. Before the final calamity began to close in on them (the Big Rip, set to destroy the entire local multiverse) and before Jacks recent arrival, it was still teatime on the Great Cone. Laura and Ned were having a pleasant morning beside her pool. The story begins there, with our attractive young genius sipping tea and deep in thought about her bewildering circumstances and the unchanged perception of all the things around her. Ned was reading comfortably in a nearby lounge chair. Now and then hed look up to speak of love, while shamelessly admiring her long and lovely legs.

Through the ages, mankind has looked to the night sky with solemn awe and persistent bewilderment. Who are we? Why are we here? Why does anything exist? How have we come to be self-aware? In recent times, physicists have produced a stream of astounding revelations into the history and design of the physical universe. For several millennia, spiritual traditions have prayerfully contemplated these cosmic puzzles, while the hearts of poets have sung to the sheer wonder of it all. With reverence, humor, and a singular voice, poet Matthew Galbraith engages these timeless mysteries in a collection of heartfelt and meticulously crafted poetry. He presents four thematic groups that span a broad range of issues about life on Earth and beyond. As a man of faith with a deep appreciation of scientific inquiry, Galbraith offers a unique, global perspective poured forth in a waterfall of sensual sound, alluring rhythms, and surrealistic imagery. Blueshift unveils a collection of melodic, mystical, and thought-provoking verse that provides a one-of-a-kind adventure into a vibrant poetic landscape.

A flicker in the night sky erupts into a firestorm as the starship Blueshift disintegrates and releases its full payload of unrefined hydrogen. With its debris strewn across Terra Primus's largest city, Paelagus, the newly formed Union struggles to figure out what brought down the hydrogen refueling tanker. They request the expertise of the Lithion Starship Crash Investigation Unit, and Nevin and his talented team of investigators head off-world to help solve the mystery. They knew the civil war on Terra Primus would be a very real threat to their safety, but the call to duty has them seeing more action than they intended. As the wreckage is slowly recovered, they are at a loss to explain the crash. Adding to the mystery are swirling rumors of Grovlic androids and TPRA bombings. Nevin leads his colleagues on a wild mission that pushes their intellects to their limits, and after an exhaustive investigation, they find themselves with just one card left to play . . .

This book presents and analyzes the influence of small size particles of lead, cadmium and silver sulfide on the properties of nonstoichiometric semiconductors. Important nonstoichiometry aspects in nanostructures are discussed, such as the distribution of sulfur atoms in nanofilms, a non-periodic distribution of the atomic planes in nanoparticles, interdependent changes in crystal structure of nanocrystalline material. Tuning the stoichiometry allows to obtain superionic conductivity and catalytic activity under visible light. The wavelength of the luminescence of nanoparticles changes with the size of the nanoparticles. Various methods to prepare nanostructured sulfides are described. Special attention is given to the hydrochemical bath deposition as a universal method for the synthesis of sulfides as nanofilms, stable colloidal solutions, quantum dots, isolated nanoparticles with a protective shell and heteronanostructures. The effect of nanoparticle size and nonstoichiometry on the band gap, optical and thermal properties of nanostructured sulfides is also considered. The novel applications of sulfide nanoparticles in nanoelectronics, catalysis, nanobiology and nanomedicine are sketched.

In Quantum Engine, Zoltan J. Kiss builds upon the revolutionary ideas he introduced in his previous books, Energy Balance of Relativity and Quantum Energy and Mass Balance, and provides a blueprint for solving Earth’s energy crisis. In this, his third book, Kiss takes the discussion of quantum energy and mass-energy balance to its logical conclusion—the quantum engine. Kiss’s calculations prove that acceleration generates electricity. This energy comes from the transformation of blue-shift energy into electron flow. The quantum impact of Earth’s gravitation on the speeding particles results in the generation of an electron surplus, a source of electricity. Kiss’s groundbreaking original research demonstrates that this mass-energy balance approach is the key to unlocking Earth’s energy future. The transformation of mass into energy and the retransformation of energy into mass can produce a limitless supply of energy via the quantum engine—our future source of energy.
