“This needs to be picked up by Netflix and made into a TV show. Absolutely brilliant” – Goodreads "In the vein of great writers like Harry Harrison and Robert A Heinlein" - Amazon “Nick Adams is a storyteller of rare ability” – Goodreads “I read a lot of sci-fi and this is in the top percent” – Amazon “Superb writing, editing and excellent storytelling” – Kobo “The best sci-fi series I have read in a while” – Amazon The Halo Fold A stolen tablet containing classified files, leads Edward Virr and the crew of the Gabriel to the distant Halo region of the Milky Way. They discover an awakening threat, dormant for several hundred thousand years and this time the alien threat is not human, but something from everyone’s darkest nightmare. Back in GDA space, Admiral Bache Loftt has problems of his own, trying to rebuilt his decimated fleet and can only spare one ship to help, skippered by the navy’s youngest and least experienced captain, Grogun Whipper. The threat, seemingly a long way away, rapidly escalates and manifests much closer to home. Threatening hundreds of human settled worlds with population extermination, including Earth. Loyalties, friendships and tempers are tested to breaking point as nothing it seems ever goes to plan. The Fold Series The Initial Fold The Andromedan Fold The Messier Fold The Cygnus Fold The Acheron Fold The Medusa Fold The Halo Fold Author Note: For the benefit of my awesome fans across the pond, this novel is written in UK English and may include a few colloquialisms and spellings that you don’t recognise. There is, understandably considering the circumstances, a bit of swearing involved. We do swear a bit in England, just put it down to eccentricity, or maybe our spirited Anglo-Saxon heritage. Another unusual trait of the Brits, is to use humour in stressful situations. Just ask anyone who’s been on active service with the British Armed Forces. It helps to keep one sane! Now you’re all prepared, I hope you enjoy the yarns. Cheers for now Nick Adams

Since the mid-1980s increasing effort has been put into light exotic nuclei, that is light nuclei of unusual composition. The research of the exotic nuclei began with the advent of accelerated beams of such nuclei. This new technique has revitalized nuclear physics, and the facilities producing radioactive ion beams now offer opportunities for pion

The latest volume in the Developments in Structural Geology and Tectonics series from Elsevier, Tectonic and Structural Framework of the Zagros Fold–Thrust Belt is a collection of the most up-to date research and developments in the unique tectonic and structural geology of the Zagros. The Zagros fold–thrust belt is famous among geologists and is one of the most-studied terrains in the world. Because of its unique structures, the Zagros orogeny is challenging for many researchers and experts; this book is the essential reference that collates the newest data and fully explores that aspect. In addition, because the Zagros range is a potential source for hydrocarbons, it is of interest to petroleum geologists and exploration companies worldwide. This book is an essential, cutting-edge reference for oil companies, structural geologists, and students at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. - Includes valuable new data about one of the most famous collisional mountain ranges in the world, the Zagros fold–thrust belts, as a guide for other collisional ranges such as the Himalaya, the Alps, and the Andes, as they share common fundamental deformation mechanisms - Provides research from geologists across the world, with the goal of understanding the unique dynamics and kinematics of the Zagros range

This book is devoted to different aspects of tectonic research. Syntheses of recent and earlier works, combined with new results and interpretations, are presented in this book for diverse tectonic settings. Most of the chapters include up-to-date material of detailed geological investigations, often combined with geophysical data, which can help understand more clearly the essence of mechanisms of different tectonic processes. Some chapters are dedicated to general problems of tectonics. Another block of chapters is devoted to sedimentary basins and special attention in this book is given to tectonic processes on active plate margins.
