Two months since that moment of brief, bright surveillance by agents unknown. </p> <p>Two months of silence, while a world holds its breath.</p> <p>Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route.</p> <p>So who do you send to force introductions on an intelligence with motives unknown, maybe unknowable? Who do you send to meet the alien when the alien doesn't want to meet?</p> <p>You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound, so compromised by grafts and splices he no longer feels his own flesh. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed, and the fainter one she'll do any good if she is. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there, a conduit through which the Dead Center might hope to understand the Bleeding Edge.</p> <p>You send them all to the edge of interstellar space, praying you can trust such freaks and retrofits with the fate of a world. You fear they may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find.</p> <p>But you'd give anything for that to be true, if you only knew what was waiting for them...</p> Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/976.png http://feedbooks.com/book/976.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/976.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/976.mobi Cerbo en Vitra ujo Mary Robinette Kowal http://feedbooks.com/book/2898 en 2006 Short Fiction Science Fiction Horror Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/2898.png http://feedbooks.com/book/2898.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/2898.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/2898.mobi Echoes In Evening Wear Will McIntosh http://feedbooks.com/book/2815 en 2006 Short Fiction Science Fiction <p>A provocative story about sex, commitment and the power of fantasy to take on a life of its own.

Never before have the cultural powers- that-be been able to exert such control over what we can and can’t do with the culture around us. Our society defends free markets and free speech; why then does it permit such top-down control? To lose our long tradition of free culture, Lawrence Lessig shows us, is to lose our freedom to create, our freedom to build, and, ultimately, our freedom to imagine.</p> Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/2750.png http://feedbooks.com/book/2750.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/2750.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/2750.mobi Geek Mafia Rick Dakan http://www.feedbooks.com/book/917 urn:isbn:0977264904 en 2006 Novels Thriller <p>Fired from a job he hated at a company he loved, videogame designer Paul Reynolds is drowning his sorrows in late-morning margaritas when he meets an alluring, pink-haired conwoman named Chloe. With her gang of techno-pirate friends, Chloe helps Paul not only take revenge on his former employers, but also extort a small fortune from them in the process. What more could a recently unemployed, over-worked videogame designer in Silicon Valley ask for?</p> <p>In return for Chloe’s help, Paul agrees to create counterfeit comic books for one of her crew’s criminal schemes. In the process finds himself drawn right into the center of their wild, seductive, underground world. He falls in for their fun loving, drug fueled “off the grid” lifestyle almost as fast as he falls head over heels for Chloe. Wary of the Crew’s darker side, but eager to impress both the girl and the gang, Paul uses his game design expertise to invent a masterful con of his own. If all goes according to plan, it will be one for the ages. But can he trust any of them, or is he the one who’s really being conned?</p> <p>Inspired by author Rick Dakan’s own eventful experiences in the videogame and comic book industries, "Geek Mafia", satisfies the hunger in all of us to buck the system, take revenge on corporate America, and live a life of excitement and adventure.</p> Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/917.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/917.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/917.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/917.mobi Hooking Up Tom Doyle http://feedbooks.com/book/2817 en 2006 Short Fiction Science Fiction <p>High school and evolution, VR space, artificial intelligence and the unrestrained id.</p> Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/2817.png http://feedbooks.com/book/2817.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/2817.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/2817.mobi I, Row-Boat Cory Doctorow http://feedbooks.com/book/338 en 2006 Short Fiction Science Fiction Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/338.png http://feedbooks.com/book/338.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/338.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/338.mobi Jack’s Gift Jason Stoddard http://feedbooks.com/book/2818 en 2006 Short Fiction Science Fiction <p>Metropolis meets Miracle On 34th Street; grit with a lot of heart.</p> Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/2818.png http://feedbooks.com/book/2818.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/2818.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/2818.mobi Only The Neck Down David Reagan http://feedbooks.com/book/2813 en 2006 Short Fiction Science Fiction Sexuality Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/2813.png http://feedbooks.com/book/2813.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/2813.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/2813.mobi Portrait of Ari Mary Robinette Kowal http://feedbooks.com/book/2902 en 2006 Short Fiction Science Fiction Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/2902.png http://feedbooks.com/book/2902.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/2902.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/2902.mobi Printcrime Cory Doctorow http://feedbooks.com/book/334 en 2006 Short Fiction Science Fiction Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/334.png http://feedbooks.com/book/334.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/334.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/334.mobi Real City Carrie Vaughn http://feedbooks.com/book/2805 en 2006 Short Fiction Science Fiction <p>“Real City” is a modern Hollywood fable set in a post-post-modern future.</p> Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/2805.png http://feedbooks.com/book/2805.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/2805.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/2805.mobi The Bound Man Mary Robinette Kowal http://feedbooks.com/book/2901 en 2006 Short Fiction Fantasy Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/2901.png http://feedbooks.com/book/2901.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/2901.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/2901.mobi When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth Cory Doctorow http://feedbooks.com/book/335 urn:isbn:1560259817 en 2006 Short Fiction Science Fiction <p>The heroic exploits of "sysadmins" — systems administrators — as they defend the cyber-world, and hence the world at large, from worms and bioweapons. </p> Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/335.png http://feedbooks.com/book/335.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/335.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/335.mobi Wolf Night Martha Wells http://feedbooks.com/book/1955 en 2006 Short Fiction Fantasy Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/1955.png http://feedbooks.com/book/1955.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/1955.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/1955.mobi
