The Pursuit Of The Valdakk
The Pursuit of the Valdakk. A spaceship is missing. It belongs to the alien Tasak, and they have come to the planetary commonwealth of Ancinnion to seek help. The provincial council minister is in no position to refuse the Tasak, and Anadar Tolarin, a political cogwheel with a checkered past, is persuaded to shepherd the recovery operation. It is a simple job that will return great patronage and large sums of money for everyone involved, but there are a few problems. The ship in question turns out to have been missing for eighty-five years. The Valdakk is a warship, and evidently, it carries some secret weapon. The Tasak cannot explain exactly how this ship has become lost, why it has taken ...
Wisconsin Waters
Every Wisconsin waterway has a story, from the Great Lakes and the Mighty Mississippi to thousands of interior lakes, rivers, and trout streams. Wisconsin Waters takes readers on an epic tour of the geologic, natural, and human stories that have shaped these aquatic landscapes over millions of years. In this companion to his popular Wisconsin State Parks book, Scott Spoolman journeys to the distant past to examine the origins of Wisconsin’s lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and wetlands. In his accessible storytelling style, Spoolman details the natural forces—volcanic eruptions, ancient seas, erosion, glaciers, and more—that created these bodies of water and the resulting habitats for the state’s flora, fauna, and early peoples. More than a geology or natural history book, Wisconsin Waters invites readers to visit waterways in four regions of the state, where they can view the modern-day evidence of how they were formed. Nineteen travel guides suggest ways to explore a selection of Wisconsin waterscapes, providing a better understanding of the land’s history that will enhance readers’ enjoyment of and appreciation for our freshwater resources.
The Van Winkle War
A thousand years from now, a man revived from spaceship-failure hibernation is known as a Van Winkle. Marco Ledger, rescued and re-conscripted after eighty-five years, is caught in a future where the manipulation of war has become science. Arissa Barancour, owner of a deep space junkyard at the nexus of the next conflict is the only one who might save him. The fates of Marco and of Arissa are bound to a young mathematician, the artificial intelligence unit of mothballed warship, a cadre of double agents, and a crew of misfit aliens. The admirals have opened the door to that rare chance their schemes did not anticipate. After the dust settles they will discover the playing cards have refused to lie down, and they will have to fight the war they did not expect–the Van Winkle War.
Killing Urdo
An AIU cannot commit suicide — but URDO, the Union Republic Defense Orbital, an armored artificial intelligence unit in control of a colony star system on the edge of nowhere, has been programmed to issue a contract for its own destruction, and that time has come. Klaus Amerman, an undistinguished mid-list Syndicate ship pilot, is conscripted to carry out the deed, but he is desperate to avoid the job. Urdo is deadly dangerous, and as anyone knows, it is programmed to defend itself. He is given a ship, but his enemies abound, and he is immediately put to flight. On the run from everyone, he must sort through all the demands and all the subterfuge to unravel his predicament. Most difficult of all, he must even discover what lies he has told himself. He will have to exceed everyone’s expectations if he is to survive, or if he is ever to succeed in killing Urdo.
