A freight train of cosmic fire is on a collision course with our planet. An ancient alien species, our silent guardians for nearly 200,000 years, has stepped forward to save the human race from impending doom. The aliens’ method: Recruit a team of humans to guide our race to ferry the Earth refugees to safety. Not everybody on Planet Earth is convinced that the threat is real, and many groups refuse to cooperate and even work to sabotage the rescue plan. This recalcitrance and disbelief causes problem after life-threatening problems for the humans tapped to manage the awesome responsibility of saving humankind from immolation. In the middle of the effort to save the humans, another threat from out of the darkness of deep space, an alien battle fleet is bearing down on us! Politics, civil war, criminality, vicious rogue aliens, automatic weapons, and international intrigue, together with bang-up space opera, combine to tell a riveting and jaw-dropping, remarkable adventure tale of mankind at its best — and worst. Join Monty, Sal, Agra, Beth, Greta, and the rest of the Rescue Cadre as they fight against overpowering odds for the future of human civilization!

ISBN: 3319905600

At the intersection of astronautics, computer science, and social science, this book introduces the challenges and insights associated with computer simulation of human society in outer space, and of the dynamics of terrestrial enthusiasm for space exploration. Never before have so many dynamic representations of space-related social systems existed, some deeply analyzing the logical implications of social-scientific theories, and others open for experience by the general public as computer-generated virtual worlds. Fascinating software ranges from multi-agent artificial intelligence models of civilization, to space-oriented massively multiplayer online games, to educational programs suitable for schools or even for the world's space exploration agencies. At the present time, when actual forays by humans into space are scarce, computer simulations of space societies are an excellent way to prepare for a renaissance of exploration beyond the bounds of Earth.

Walk the ancient streets, meet the colorful characters, and uncover the secret history of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the new expansion to the Disney Parks experience! After devastating losses at the hands of the First Order, General Leia Organa has dispatched her agents across the galaxy in search of allies, sanctuary, and firepower—and her top spy, Vi Moradi, may have just found all three, on a secluded world at the galaxy’s edge. A planet of lush forests, precarious mountains, and towering, petrified trees, Batuu is on the furthest possible frontier of the galactic map, the last settled world before the mysterious expanse of Wild Space. The rogues, smugglers, and adventurers who eke out a living on the largest settlement on the planet, Black Spire Outpost, are here to avoid prying eyes and unnecessary complications. Vi, a Resistance spy on the run from the First Order, is hardly a welcome guest. And when a shuttle full of stormtroopers lands in her wake, determined to root her out, she has no idea where to find help. To survive, Vi will have to seek out the good-hearted heroes hiding in a world that redefines scum and villainy. With the help of a traitorous trooper and her acerbic droid, she begins to gather a colorful band of outcasts and misfits, and embarks on a mission to spark the fire of resistance on Batuu—before the First Order snuffs it out entirely.
