Aliens Vs. Humans (Aliens Series, #4) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Jack Munroe's anti-predator crusade is stopped cold by an ultimatum from the Arbitors of the Great Dark. Either stop contacting juvenile star systems with his message of liberty and freedom, or humanity will be cut off from the universe with an Isolation Globe that nothing can penetrate! The Arbitors resemble Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaurs. But these dinos have giant spaceships, a shield that blocks all energy weapons and they view Humans as upstarts who must either play by their Rules, or be blocked from ever again exploring the stars. With the help of his physicist buddy Archibald and the battle skills of Maureen, the deadliest grandma in space, Jack sets out to use Dark Energy as a covert weapon to kill both the Isolation Globe and the weapons shield of the Arbitors. Doing that demands wild Tech and the American Can-Do spirit that is the heart of Asteroid Belt society. But will the final showdown lead to victory over the dinos, or leave humanity Isolated from the stars?

Autor

T. Jackson King (Tom) is a professional archaeologist and journalist. He writes hard science fiction, anthropological scifi, dark fantasy/horror and contemporary fantasy/magic realism--but that didn't begin until he was 38.

Before then, college years spent in Paris and in Tokyo led Tom into antiwar activism, hanging out with some Japanese hippies and learning how often governments lie to their citizens. The latter lesson led him and a college buddy to publish the Shinjuku Sutra English language underground tabloid in Japan in 1967. That was followed by helping shut down the UT Knoxville campus in 1968 and a bus trip to Washington D.C. for the Second March on Washington where thousands demanded an end to the Vietnam War.

Temporary sanity returned when Tom worked in a radiocarbon lab at UC Riverside and earned an MA degree in archaeology from UCLA. His interests in ancient history, ancient cultures and journalism got him several government agency jobs that paid the bills, led him to roam the raw landscape of the Western United States, and helped him raise three kids.

A funny thing happened on the way to normality. By the time he was 38 and doing federal arky work in Colorado, Tom's first novel STAR TRADERS was a stage play in his head that wouldn't go away. So he wrote it down. It got rejected. His next novel was published as RETREAD SHOP (Warner Books, 1988). It was off to the writing races and Tom's many voyages of imaginative discovery have led to 23 published novels, a book of poetry, and a conviction that when humans reach the stars, we will find them crowded with space-going aliens. We will be the New Kids On The Block. This theme appears in much of Tom's short fiction and novel writing.

Tom lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. His other writings can be viewed at http://www.tjacksonking.com.
