Fight to Save Humanity!
When the mantis aliens attack the human colony known as New America, it’s up to Chief Warrant Officer Amelia Schumann and her crew to get word of the renewed threat to Earth. But a crash landing on a hostile planet complicates things. Now, the crew of the seven-man picket ship must do whatever it takes to get off planet and warn Earth. But Amelia and her crew aren’t the only ones planet-side. The world on which they’ve crash landed is being primed for mantis colonization, and the mantis Queen Mother has given her hive-mind children a clear directive: exterminate all humans. An all new story from Hugo and Nebula nominee Brad R. Torgersen, set in the same universe as the upcoming novel, “The Chaplain’s War.” Read “Picket Ship” here. |

Empty Skies, Desolate Planet The launch by the Soviets of Sputnik in October of 1957 changed the world forever. In the fifty-seven years since, we’ve grown accustomed to man-made satellites orbiting our world, providing hi-resolution images, weather tracking, and the latest episodes of our favorite television shows—and much, much more. But maybe we shouldn’t take these artificial moons for granted. In this month’s free nonfiction article, NASA scientist and author Dr. Les Johnson shows us the many ways out system of satellites could fail. And what it would be like living in a world without them. Read “Living without Satellites” here. |
