No Room to Live

Kyle Fields

Publisher: Defiance Press and Publishing

Summary

When Central Pacific Airlines flight 855 encounters a mysterious triangular object over the Pacific, First Officer Kuparr Winston's life changes forever. After barely surviving a crash landing, Kup finds himself trapped between two worlds: Earth, his home planet now under threat, and an alien society determined to colonize it.
 
Three islands—Galveston, Iceland, and Hawaii's Big Island—suddenly find themselves cut off from the world, their harbors filled with aluminum, their runways obliterated. As mysterious beings in form-fitting skinsuits emerge from giant metal disks that crash onto each island, Kup must navigate both human politics and alien invasion plans. Accused of terrorism by the very government he's trying to save, Kup races against time to disable the electromagnetic fields isolating the three islands before the alien "penal colonies" become permanent.
 
With a diverse cast including a Hawaiian doctor fighting to save her island, an Icelandic tour guide with unexpected connections to the aliens, and a Texas lawyer trying to protect his family, "No Room to Live" explores what happens when colonizers become the colonized. The novel blends high-stakes action with profound questions about society, identity, and what it truly means to be "alien."
 
As the boundaries between human and extraterrestrial blur through a process called "Reckoning," Kup discovers the terrifying truth: this is just the beginning of an invasion that could forever change humanity's place in the universe.
 
If you enjoyed "The Three-Body Problem," "Sleeping Giants," and "The 5th Wave," you'll love "No Room to Live."

The Treasure in the Forest - Two...

H G Wells

Herbert George Wells was born on September 21st, 1866 at Atlas House, 46 High Street, Bromley, Kent. He was the youngest of four siblings and his family affectionately knew him as ‘Bertie’.
The first few years of his childhood were spent fairly quietly, and Wells didn’t display much literary interest until, in 1874, he accidentally broke his leg and was left to recover in bed, largely entertained by the library books his father regularly brought him. Through these Wells found he could escape the boredom and misery of his bed and convalescence by exploring the new worlds he encountered in these books.
From these humble beginnings began a career that was, after several delays, to be seen as one of the most brilliant of modern English writers.
Able to write comfortably in a number of genres he was especially applauded for his science fiction works such as The Time Machine and War of the Worlds but his forays into the social conditions of the times, with classics such as Kipps, were almost as commercially successful. His short stories are miniature masterpieces many of which bring new and incredible ideas of science fiction to the edge of present day science fact. Wells also received four nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature
Despite a strong and lasting second marriage his affairs with other women also brought the complications of fathering other children. His writings and work against fascism, as well as the promotion of socialism, brought him into increasing doubts with and opposition to religion. His writings on what the world could be in works, such as A Modern Utopia, are thought provoking as well as being plausible, especially when viewed from the distressing times they were written in.
His diabetic condition pushed him to create what is now the largest Diabetes charity in the United Kingdom. Wells even found the time to run twice for Parliament.
It was a long, distinguished and powerfully successful career by the time he died, aged 79, on August 13th, 1946.
