For the Martian race, working for humans meant a kind of slavery—toiling to extract radioactives from Mars for the benefit of humans back on Earth. They were to be paid barely enough to survive. And the exploitation would continue for generation after generation...
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. ''With a group of heroes gradually growing around him, Dash returns to the Forest Realm, treading in the ancient footpaths of those who came before, and many truths are at last revealed. The Three are something built into reality itself, a naturally occurring cosmic phenomenon, and their destiny takes priority over all other things. The Brain intends to destroy both good and evil, but countless of its unknowing instruments fill the universe. It is unclear what fate would befall all those associated with good and evil should the Brain succeed. It could mean the destruction of all intelligent life in the cosmos. To protect the people of Deluuvius, Dash and his friends choose to oppose the unknown by physically imprisoning the Three. But doubt within the group begins to grow as the cosmic drama unfolds.''

The Stranger by Gordon R. Dickson - If the alien space craft was not a rocket ship, what was it? And an even bigger question: should they investigate—or run for their lives! We will not consider the odds involved in their finding the stranger, for the odds were impossible. They came down to rest their tubes on an unnamed planet of a little-known star in the Buckhorn Cluster. Because they were tired from weeks in space, they came in without looking. They circled the planet once and spiraled down to an open patch of sand between two rocky cliffs. Only then did they see the other ship. Jeff Wadley was at the controls and his eyes widened when he saw it. But his fingers did not hesitate on the controls, for a deep-space starship is not the kind of vehicle that can change its mind about landing once it is within half a mile of the ground. He brought the Emerald Girl in smoothly to a stop not five hundred feet from the stranger. Then he sat back. "Dad," he said flatly, into the intercom, "swing the turret!" Peter Wadley, up in the instrument room, had already seen the strange ship, and the heavy twin barrels of the automatic rifles were depressing to cover. Jeff leaned forward to the communicator. "Identify yourself!" The tight beam in Common Code snapped across the little stretch of open sand to the cliff against which the other seemed to nestle. "We are the mining ship Emerald Girl, Earth license, five hundred and eighty-two days out of Arcturus Station. Identify yourself!" There were steps behind Jeff, and Peter Wadley came to stand behind his son's tense back. "Do they answer, Jeff?" "No." "Identify yourself. Identify yourself! Identify yourself!" The angry demand crackled and arced invisibly across the space between both vessels. And there was no answer.Mostra libro
