  The main frame story concerns a king and his new bride. The king, Shahryar, upon discovering his ex-wife's infidelity executes her and then declares all women to be unfaithful. He begins to marry a succession of virgins only to execute each one the next morning. Scheherazade agrees to marry him and each night, beginning on the night of their marriage, she tells the king a tale but does not end it so that the king keeps her alive in order to hear the next tale. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others begin and end of their own accord. Some editions contain only a few hundred tales, while others include 1001 or more stories and "nights."Well known stories from the Nights include Aladdin, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor.

  Life Of Charles Dickens

  Charles Dickens lived a very intense life. He was born in Landport, near Portsea in the south of England, in 1812. 
  His family was a large one. The boy was twelve when he was withdrawn from school, in 1824, and sent to work in a shoe-blacking factory in London for a few months to help his father, imprisoned for debts. This unpleasant experience was never forgotten and marked the beginning of Dickens's social commitment and identification with the poor and the oppressed, which are constantly present in his fiction. 
   
  At the age of sixteen Charles Dickens was apprenticed in an attorney's office to study law, but soon gave up and learned shorthand to become a reporter in the courts of law. These experiences provided the material for the description of lawyers and their world in many of his novels. 
  He was only twenty-one when his first fictional work, Sketches by Boz (1836), appeared in instalments and had an enthusiastic reception from both critics and pub1ic. The publication of Pickwick Papers (1836-7) increased Charles Dickens' popularity and brought in handsome profits, which enabled him to marry. 
  A frantic career as a novelist developed which was to continue all his life and which Dickens managed to combine with several other activities.

DeKok's suspicions are confirmed with a phone call: the dismembered body of a young woman has been found at the city dump.

  They found Hyperspace. Now what? 
   
   
   
  Chen JieMin hypothesized the existence of hyperspace. The government of Arcadia put a project together to build a hyperspace probe. Chen ChaoLi managed the project to build a successful probe and transition it there and back. 
   
   
   
  But hyperspace is still just a curiosity, no more. Unless they can figure out a means of propulsion in hyperspace, it is a purely academic exercise. 
   
   
   
  Even with a means of propulsion, Where will they go? The locations of the colonies were kept secret from each other and from Earth. Where are the other colonies, the best potential destinations for a hyperspace ship? 
   
   
   
  And if they space to a colony, how will they be received?
