Based upon Star Trek created by Gene Roddenberry. Missing for two hundred millennia, the legendary Iconians have returned, bringing with them the secret of interdimensional teleportation across vast interstellar distances. Awakened once more, their ancient Gateways are rewriting the map of the galaxy, and nowhere more than in the New Frontier®. A century ago, the imperial Thallonians separated two feuding alien races, depositing each of them on a new world safely distant from that of their ancestral enemies. Now, however, the Gateways have made it possible for the long dormant blood feud to begin anew. Captain Mackenzie Calhoun of the U.S.S. Excalibur and his partner, Captain Elizabeth Shelby of the U.S.S. Trident, find themselves fighting a losing battle to keep the horrific violence from escalating, even as they gradually realize the catastrophic danger posed by the Gateways themselves!

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Assignment in Eternity (2000) ? Robert A. Heinlein Publisher: Baen Books ISBN / Product Code: 076714006997 Condition: Good Sold by: Crappy Old Books Four Adventures in Human Evolution, Parallel Universes and the Disturbing Possibility That the Monkey Might Be Smarter Than You Humanity has always been rather pleased with itself. We have developed language, mastered electricity, explored the solar system and invented machines capable of producing seventeen different varieties of coffee, none of which tastes quite like the coffee we actually wanted. We consider ourselves intelligent, civilised and unquestionably superior to the rest of the animal kingdom, although a brief examination of human history suggests that the evidence for these claims is not entirely conclusive. Robert A. Heinlein, one of science fiction?s most celebrated troublemakers, was never particularly inclined to accept humanity?s flattering assessment of itself. What if ordinary human intelligence represented merely an intermediate evolutionary stage? What if our minds possessed extraordinary abilities we had simply forgotten how to use? What if reality consisted of countless alternative worlds? And, perhaps most awkwardly, what if a genetically engineered animal displayed more humanity than the people legally entitled to call themselves human? Welcome to Assignment in Eternity , a collection of four classic Heinlein stories originally published in science fiction magazines during the 1940s and subsequently brought together in book form in 1953. This 2000 Baen Books edition preserves a particularly entertaining selection of the author?s early speculative adventures, combining espionage, extraordinary mental powers, alternative realities and an unexpectedly serious examination of civil rights. It is vintage Heinlein, which means the characters tend to be extraordinarily competent, the dialogue frequently resembles an intellectual fencing competition, and somebody is usually prepared to explain the fundamental nature of existence while simultaneously escaping from an impossibly dangerous situation. There are four stories here, each exploring a different aspect of what humanity is, what it might become, and whether we should really be trusted with the capabilities we already possess. Gulf ? The Secret Agent Who Discovers That Ordinary People Are Rather Disappointing In Gulf , Heinlein introduces a world of secret agents, dangerous conspiracies and individuals whose mental abilities make the average human being look rather like a confused goldfish attempting to complete a crossword puzzle. The story begins as an espionage adventure involving intelligence operations and a potentially catastrophic threat. But beneath the intrigue lies a considerably more unsettling proposition: certain individuals may represent a new stage in human evolution, possessing intellectual capacities far beyond those of ordinary society. These exceptional people have developed extraordinary methods of thinking and communicating, including a remarkably efficient form of speech known as Speedtalk. It is an intriguing concept, particularly when one considers how much time modern humanity wastes saying things that could have been communicated perfectly adequately by remaining silent. As the protagonist encounters this hidden world of superior intelligence, the adventure develops into an examination of evolutionary difference, human potential and the relationship between those who possess exceptional abilities and those who do not. Naturally, there are also sinister plots, dangerous missions and enough Cold War atmosphere to make everyone suspicious of everyone else. Heinlein clearly enjoyed the idea of unusually capable individuals operating outside conventional institutions, particularly when those institutions were populated by officials who had apparently mistaken bureaucracy for intelligence. It is a recurring theme in his work: the competent individual confronting a world organised largely by people who would struggle to find their own backsides with a diagram. And if the extraordinary minds of Gulf seem rather pleased with themselves, the reader can hardly blame them. After all, they have discovered an evolutionary advantage considerably more useful than the ability to operate a smartphone while walking into a lamppost. Elsewhen ? When One Universe Simply Isn?t Enough Most people find one reality quite sufficient. There are bills to pay, appointments to remember, irritating neighbours to avoid and a constant procession of minor inconveniences suggesting that the universe was designed by somebody with a deeply questionable sense of humour. But what if this reality were merely one possibility among countless others? In Elsewhen , Heinlein explores the fascinating notion that the mind might be capable of travelling beyond conventional limitations of time and space, opening pathways into alternative worlds and different versions of existence. A professor and his students become involved in experiments that challenge familiar assumptions about consciousness, identity and the nature of reality. Their discoveries lead them into possibilities far beyond the reassuringly ordinary world of lectures, academic discussions and university administration. The story is particularly interesting because it anticipates themes Heinlein would return to in his later fiction, especially the idea of multiple realities existing beyond the one we happen to inhabit. Here, the human mind becomes something far more remarkable than a biological machine for remembering shopping lists and worrying about the future. It may be capable of exploring entirely different paths through existence. This raises several philosophical questions. If countless alternative realities exist, are there countless alternative versions of ourselves? Could our lives have unfolded differently? Is there a universe somewhere in which politicians answer questions directly, trains arrive on time and every hou.…
