Much literature for children appears in the form of series, in which familiar characters appear in book after book. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, authors began to write science fiction series for children. These early series generally had plots that revolved around inventions developed by the protagonist. But it was the development and use of rocket and atomic science during World War II that paved the way for interesting and exciting new themes, conflicts, and plots. While much has been written about the early juvenile science fiction series, particularly the Tom Swift books, comparatively little has been written about children's science fiction series published since 1945. This book provides a broad overview of this previously neglected topic. The volume offers a critical look at the history, themes, characters, settings, and construction of post-1945 juvenile science fiction series, including the A.I. Gang, the Animorphs, Commander Toad, Danny Dunn, Dragonfall Five, the Magic School Bus, and Space Cat. The book begins with an introductory history of juvenile science fiction since 1945, with chapters then devoted to particular topics. Some of these topics include the role of aliens and animals, attitudes toward humor, the absence and presence of science, and the characterization of women. A special feature is an appendix listing the various series. In addition, the volume provides extensive bibliographical information.

When you're pulled to the end, you're actually pulled into the sea creatures' beaches.

The Space Shuttle has been the dominant machine in the U.S. space program for thirty years and has generated a great deal of interest among space enthusiasts and engineers. This book enables readers to understand its technical systems in greater depth than they have been able to do so before. The author describes the structures and systems of the Space Shuttle, and then follows a typical mission, explaining how the structures and systems were used in the launch, orbital operations and the return to Earth. Details of how anomalous events were dealt with on individual missions are also provided, as are the recollections of those who built and flew the Shuttle. Many photographs and technical drawings illustrate how the Space Shuttle functions, avoiding the use of complicated technical jargon. The book is divided into two sections: Part 1 describes each subsystem in a technical style, supported by diagrams, technical drawings, and photographs to enable a better understanding of the concepts. Part 2 examines different flight phases, from liftoff to landing. Technical material has been obtained from NASA as well as from other forums and specialists. Author Davide Sivolella is an aerospace engineer with a life-long interest in space and is ideally qualified to interpret technical manuals for a wider audience. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the topic including the evolution of given subsystems, reviewing the different configurations, and focusing on the solutions implemented.

The survival of humanity hangs in the balance. Science fiction action and adventure - this omnibus edition contains the first three volumes of the Survival Wars series. Includes: Crimson Tempest (Book 1) Humanity is fighting against an implacable foe. The Ghasts – a ruthless alien race - seem hell-bent on wiping out mankind. They have a vast warfleet and their technology is advancing at a terrible rate. Captain John Nathan Duggan and his crew are given a mission – find the missing ESS Crimson and bring it home. Little does Duggan realise, this is no ordinary mission. As he struggles against enemies both within and without, he desperately tries to unlock the mystery surrounding the Crimson’s disappearance and the unknown weapons it carries. He soon discovers the missing warship might be the only hope for salvation that mankind has left. Bane of Worlds (Book 2) Following his successful mission to recover the missing warship ESS Crimson, Captain John Duggan finds himself unredeemed in the eyes of his superiors. His duties resume and this time he’s given something easy - escort a cargo ship to a distant planet and bring it home safely. But war is never so predictable and a straightforward mission becomes something much more important. The outcome may well determine the future of humanity. Chains of Duty (Book 3) Following events at the Helius Blackstar, Duggan is given the Space Corps’ newest warship – a heavy cruiser armed to the teeth with the latest weapons and technology. A prospector craft, the SC Lupus, has gone missing and his superiors want to find out what happened and the aggressors dealt with accordingly. The wrecked spaceship is soon found. However, nothing is as it seems. What Duggan finds on a distant planet turns everything on its head. With the survival of humanity potentially in the balance, Duggan – a man forever chained by duty – is required to take the biggest risk of all. The man who has faced everything is about to come up against an opponent he cannot possibly defend himself against.

It's been 225 years since the survivors of the extinction-level ice age that occurred on Earth-I have been brought to Earth-II. The six individuals who brought the survivors on Earth-II have been living on Earth-II with the descendants of the original settlers from the past twenty-five years. However, these six individuals are now becoming restless and want to go into space again. Even though they all are in their seventies, their life expectancies are such that they could live another fifty years. They increased the size of the spaceship they used to bring the survivors to Earth-II so they can increase the number of individuals who can travel with them. They leave Earth-II to revisit some of the planets they had visited previously as well as the edge of the known universe. They find life on several planets all of which has the same generic materials as humans. This book continues the adventure the space travelers have and the knowledge they obtain from traveling through space.

The story starts at Bulia, a small town north of Mitelia, which is a planet that just finished its industrial revolution and is distant to Earth about one hundred light-years away. An excellent engineer, Chris meets Kerman, a captain of a spaceship, who invites Chris to help investigate an event for his colleague's daughter. During the travel to Ponlenia, they meet the extremely dangerous black hole incident. They struggle with the event and eventually arrive at Ponlenia. From an industrial revolution planet to a five-thousand-year-old advanced civilization, Chris gets a great shock, but he and his friends Frank and Christopher, eventually with their hard work and studying, they gradually become important members in the space center. Meanwhile, the real important event happens when Mike and Sam's first Earth expedition team entered this sphere to build the Earth's first colony, Milirina. As the human beings' first ideal immigrating target planet, Milirina showed the people from Earth an amazing scene. Also they help the L-P star system get rid of the threat of the black hole. The whole story is thrilling and romantic, especially in the final part when Mike's team at last eliminates the heaviest natural disaster. Everyone will get a clear image that the future of human beings will be like the story--bright, winding, and happy.

Darrell Schweitzer's third collection of essays and reviews, a successor to the well-received "Windows of the Imagination" and "The Fantastic Horizon," is a balanced mixture of scholarship and entertainment, ranging over the entire spectrum of imaginative literature, from the oldest novel in the world (1st century B.C.) to classic (and not-so-classic) pulp fiction, to childhood reading, to examinations of the works of such masters as H.P. Lovecraft, M.R. James, Robert Bloch, Stanley Weinbaum, John W. Campbell, and Thomas M. Disch. In between we encounter such surprising topics as a proposal for an H.P. Lovecraft biopic ("The Whole Wide Lovecraft"), the eccentricities of William Beckford (the author of Vathek), and even a report from Blobfest, an annual street fair devoted to the famous 1958 cult film, at which Schweitzer, as a member of the press, was allowed to touch the original Blob. Many of these pieces have been published in the prestigious "The New York Review of Science Fiction." "Schweitzer writes in an informative style that’s knowledgeable, witty, and high accessible. This is the finest kind of criticism -- it makes you want to read more, both of the critic's own prose and that of the writers he’s discussing. Highly recommended!" -- Robert Reginald. Darrell Schweitzer is a novelist, short-story, writer and critic, a former editor of the legendary "Weird Tales" magazine, and a four-time World Fantasy Award finalist and one-time winner. His previous book of essays, "The Fantastic Horizon," was a finalist for the Mythopoeic Award.
