Picture yourself in a future shared with real-life Olympians and engineered humans designed to order… Project Olympus: Orion- a story that takes place late in a thrilling new series based around the lives of these man-made Olympians. …An epic battle has torn apart the fabric of civilization. Centuries have come and gone. The scattered remnants of mankind struggle to rebuild. Yet the work of the ancient genemasters remains. As worlds once thought lost are re-discovered, they are found to be inhabited with the descendents of these superior creations. These genetically altered humans are seen as a threat to the new colonists. Orion is a specially trained hunter whose job it is to rid these worlds of the abominations. Little does he know that soon his own battle will wage.

The race to the moon dominated space flight during the the 1960s yet, during the late 1950s and early 1960s, the US Government sponsored a project that could possibly have sent 150 people on expeditions to Mars or Saturn.The project was code-named Orion and centred upon the effort to develop a fast, manoeuvrable, nuclear-powered space vehicle for long-range voyages in space. The proposed 4000-ton spaceship would be propelled by nuclear bombs but, strictly classified, the project was never given a chance to succeed or fail - due partly to its apparent absurdity - but its mix of sublime physics, madcap engineering, and a cast of Cold War warriors and would-be inter-galactic engineers made the mission a tantalising what if story.In this book George Dyson, son of physicist Freeman Dyson, one of the original project team, pieces together the story his father could only tell him in fragments at the time.

In 1957, a small group of scientists, supported by the U.S. government, launched an attempt to build a four-thousand-ton spaceship propelled by nuclear bombs. The initial plan called for missions to Mars by 1965 and Saturn by 1970. After seven years of work, political obstacles brought the effort to a halt. The Orion team, led by the American bomb-designer Theodore B. Taylor, included the physicist Freeman Dyson, whose son George was five years old when the existence of the project was first announced. In Project Orion, George Dyson has synthesized hundreds of hours of interviews and thousands of pages of newly excavated documents, still only partially declassified, to piece together one of the most tantalizing "what if" stories of the twentieth century.

This book provides a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts of financial mathematics essential for the evaluation of any financial product and instrument. Mastering concepts of present and future values of streams of cash flows under different interest rate environments is core for actuaries and financial economists. This book covers the body of knowledge required by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) for its Financial Mathematics (FM) Exam. The third edition includes major changes such as an addition of an R Laboratory section in each chapter, except for Chapter 9. These sections provide R codes to do various computations, which will facilitate students to apply conceptual knowledge. Additionally, key definitions have been revised and the theme structure has been altered. Students studying undergraduate courses on financial mathematics for actuaries will find this book useful. This book offers numerous examples and exercises, some of which are adapted from previous SOA FM Exams. It is also useful for students preparing for the actuarial professional exams through self-study.

They are ancient enemies. They are each other’s only hope. Merope is forced to watch as her sisters die lifetime after lifetime. In his anger at their ancient rebuke, Zeus cursed the seven Pleiades sisters—six to die, and Merope, the youngest, to give witness. Through many centuries and lives, Merope has tried everything to avert disaster, but she has always failed. For his crimes against the gods, Orion is cursed to commit the unspeakable acts Merope tries so hard to prevent. Orion has little hope against the power of the gods—he is resigned that this cruel sentence will be his eternity.

And that together, they may harness a force powerful enough to break the chains of destiny that bind them once and for all. Orion's Kiss is a stand-alone YA paranormal romance perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare, Richelle Mead, and Lauren Kate.

The conception of the Pegasus engine in 1957 upset all the conventions of aircraft design. It was previously usual for aircraft designers to seek a suitable engine, but this was an engine that sought an aircraft. The aircraft that resulted was the famous Harrier that is still in front-line service with air forces around the world including the RAF and US Marine Corps. This book takes an in-depth look at the engine's original design concept, initial production and flight testing. It then goes on to explain how the developments and improvements have been made over the ensuing years and includes experiences of operational combat flying, both from land and sea. The book is written in a non technical style that makes comfortable reading for all enthusiasts and historians and is copiously illustrated with many previously unseen photographs and diagrams.

Humans have been telling one another stories ever since they first developed language. Stories that teach, stories that entertain. The ancient Greek story tellers had a nasty habit of punishing their main characters, especially when it came to romance. I’m bringing these couples into modern times and giving them not only new lives, but also another chance to find the happily ever after they deserve. This collection contains the first four books in the Romancing a God series. Pandora Curiosity killed the cat. It also changed the course of mankind. Pandora Jones roams her city streets at night, collecting the worries that keep others awake and securing them in special boxes that she makes. The ultimate lonely girl, trying to atone for her ancestor’s costly mistake, just like the long line of Pandoras before her. Zeus sends his handsome eldest son to set things right with Pandora but neglects to tell Zee exactly who to look for, what to do, or even why he’s been sent. That would take all the fun out of the game and everyone knows the Olympic gods love their games. Cassandra Engaged to marry Portland’s most eligible bachelor, an up and coming lawyer in the city’s most prestigious law firm, Cassandra Brown can’t believe her good fortune. Her life is perfect except for one teeny, tiny thing–she can see the future, but no one ever listens. Handsome Pauli knows about Cassie’s gift. He knows why no one listens when she tries to warn them. He even knows what needs to be done about it–but can he convince Cassie to give up her perfect dream? Artemis Artemis Smith prefers work over romance. After five years of plotting and planning she lands a coveted project in her beloved Portland, Maine. Unfortunately, her father lines up financing for the project with Jack Orion, a man who plays hard, works hard, and goes through beautiful women like they’re an endless commodity. Artemis has no intention of becoming one of Jack’s conquests, but Orion can’t ignore a challenge–especially when the prize is the intelligent and alluring Artemis Smith. Andromeda Constantly judged by her looks, Andromeda White doesn’t fit in anywhere. She tries her best to fulfill her parents’ expectations but never earns their love, the one thing she most wants. Now they expect her to make the ultimate sacrifice for their business–to marry a man she despises. Andromeda rebels and makes a bid for love and happiness–until she discovers the fates of hundreds lie in her hands. Can she find a way to free herself from her destiny and seize happiness?
