Beschreibung

Ray Cummings’ The Princess of the Atom is a dazzling journey into the hidden depths of reality, where science and imagination collide in one of early science fiction’s most inventive adventures. Originally published in the golden age of pulp fiction, this novel explores a microscopic universe teeming with life, danger, and wonder—all set within the mysterious world inside the atom.     The story follows a scientist who, through a daring experiment, discovers how to shrink himself to a subatomic scale. What he finds is astonishing: a miniature civilization complete with kingdoms, politics, and war. At the heart of this tiny world is Princess Lata, a noble and courageous ruler whose people face extinction from forces beyond their control. Drawn into her fight for survival, the scientist must not only navigate a strange and perilous world but also confront the limits of human understanding and courage.     Ray Cummings, a pioneer of speculative fiction, combines bold scientific ideas with fast-paced adventure and romantic intrigue. With its imaginative setting and timeless themes of exploration, love, and sacrifice, The Princess of the Atom stands as a landmark work in the tradition of H.G. Wells and Edgar Rice Burroughs. Both thrilling and thought-provoking, it remains a fascinating exploration of the vastness that may lie within the very small.

    In the latest Human for Hire whirlwind adventure. 
     
     
     
    This wasn't like Adam Cain—AKA: The Human for Hire. He wasn't supposed to be compassionate and caring. But for some reason, he'd taken the former Third-Generation Human John Martinez under his wing and was now determined to show him what the real Human race was all about. As a 3G, Martinez had been raised by the Klin to believe a completely false narrative about his native race. But having never been to Earth—and after only a few tragic encounters with other Humans—what was Martinez to believe? 
     
     
     
    And that was why Adam was taking Martinez to Earth . . . and aboard the luxurious space liner Starship Andromeda. 
     
     
     
    But of course, where Adam goes, trouble follows, and soon he and Martinez are ensnarled in a vast and deadly conspiracy that risks the lives of everyone aboard the Starship Andromeda, as well as every soul on Earth. 
     
     
     
    Get ready for more non-stop action and heroics from Adam Cain—the alien with an attitude. And the stakes have never been higher.

    Apparently, time-travel spells have a sense of humor and don’t take direction well. Mei Li could’ve done with knowing that beforehand, and fully blames Shunlei for not forewarning her. 
    Instead of going back a few years to rescue the missing tomes, Mei Li finds herself thousands of years in the past, with the original events she needs to learn about still ten years into the future. She is stuck in a hurry-up-and-wait pattern she doesn’t appreciate. 
    It doesn’t help that this world is full of its own problems, and Mei Li has more than enough of those already. Now she must face shape shifting demons, volatile water deities, and a murderous sword on a rampage all while trying to figure out WHY the spell sent her here in the first place. 
    There are a few side benefits. Mei Li gets to meet younger Shunlei—or Shunlei the Red. Seeing him as a young dragon is fun. It’s also fascinating being with the first group of magical troubleshooters, the original founders before the Tomes system ever existed. 
    And when the past starts to intertwine with the future in ways she could never have predicted, Mei Li prays she’s able to navigate it without ruining the future. If she does, she fully plans on blaming Shunlei for that as well.

    There's no such thing as a nice clean war. 
     
     
     
    If fighting a war which might never end wasn't enough, now the Imperium has a new enemy. But now promoted to be a genuine squadron leader, Bud finds himself leading more than his squadron. Just how complicated can war get? 
     
     
     
    Is the enemy of your enemy really your enemy? Or can their enemy become your friend while you're still at war with each other? 
     
     
     
    Even in the middle of a brand new war, Bud finds people who think they know better about what he should be doing. He's thousands of light years away, and there are always still obligations to home which must be fulfilled, and the future to be provided for. 
     
     
     
    And just maybe, can they be made to work for you on the fringes of the core? 
     
     
     
    The Imperium really has no business in that part of space, let alone fighting another war, but what do you do when you get asked for help, and the original hero is not available? 
     
     
     
    You send in Lieutenant Commander Spacemage.
