The Earth lies shaken in the aftermath of a conspiracy. Some of the smartest minds on the planet have striven for and died in an effort to scour the skies of four vast alien satellites, but their success has brought a terrible vengeance down upon us. While alien agents stalk the Earth, a team of exhausted scientists and military outcasts struggle to fight them among a planet on the brink - the brink of plague, the brink of war, and the brink of an invasion larger than they can possibly imagine. But they have allies.

True science fiction
Reviewed: 11-16-18
he whole story from start to finish was based on things that theoretically could be possible. so that is the fiction part and the science part is the fact that it is based on things that are possible theoretically. other than that it was a very good story well integrated and well written. needless to say, I loved it and I look forward to anything else this author would offer

Albert Camus' The Stranger is one of the most widely read novels in the world, with millions of copies sold. It stands as perhaps the greatest existentialist tale ever conceived, and is certainly one of the most important and influential books ever produced. Now, for the first time, this revered masterpiece is available as an unabridged audio production.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 320
The Light of Other Days tells the tale of what happens when a brilliant, driven industrialist harnesses the cutting edge of quantum physics to enable people everywhere, at trivial cost, to see one another at all times: around every corner, through every wall, into everyone's most private, hidden, and even intimate moments. It amounts to the sudden and complete abolition of human privacy - forever.

In the 25th century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person's consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or "sleeve") making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

this is the best sci-fi I have read or heard in years and I read and listen to a lot of Syfy. It combines a lot of extrapolated science as opposed to just playing fantasy with the best of Sherlock Holmes types of mystery and suspense. the narration was really good too !

The Unincorporated Man is a provocative social/political/economic novel that takes place in the future, after civilization has fallen into complete economic collapse. This reborn civilization is one in which every individual is incorporated at birth and spends many years trying to attain control over his or her own life by getting a majority of his or her own shares. Life extension has made life very long indeed.

True science fiction vs. fantasy
Reviewed: 06-07-10
I got started reading science fiction when the only SF available was science extrapolated beyond science but still plausible with real characters, action and humor that was so close to science fact that one could really "see" the plausibility of the constuct. That was before anything "social" or pertaining to society was considered of the sciences.
This book has taken the social sciences and extrapolated from them some very plausible possibilities that with the characters, action and humor, present an excellent story well worth investing time and dollars into.
I rated this a full five stars and that is something I very rarely do. It broadened my scope and understanding of an aspect of society by compairing it to another very interesting possibility. It is an enjoyable excercise in expanding concepts.
But, there is yet more! Some of the physical "hardware" the characters interact with expands beyond sliding doors and adds to the SF aspect of the story without going so far as beaming people from place to place. When a story goes too far beyond reality, it should be classed as science fantasy. I have read some good science fantasy and don't distain it. I just would like it to be labeled as such.
