Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Earth was part of a universe-wide collection of races, known as the Imperium of Sovereign Races Fleet (ISR). Worlds capable of sustaining the various life forms of the ISR were few, and the races who needed more space to live were many. So, the most important rule for all ISR worlds was to wait for a planet to be terraformed for your particular race's needs and then colonize it. But humans, unlike all the other ISR races, were a short-lived race, barely living to a thousand, when all the other races easily lived beyond two. Humans made up for their short lifespan by being fast breeders. Where other races took a millennium to reproduce thousands, humans could reproduce billions. Because of these traits, humans needed more and more colonies to accommodate their growing populations. So, any world terraformed to standards in which human life could thrive, Earth would quickly claim and send in colony ships. When the ISR had enough of Earth's violations of colony rights, war on Earth was declared. Earth, however, had been planning for such an event and was preparing for the war, which they knew would eventually come. To this end, there was Atlantis. Atlantis was Earth's most advanced research and development facility, located on an island in the middle of an ocean. And deep within this facility was the largest, most sophisticated Super Dreadnaught ever conceived. It was bigger, stronger, and faster than any ship the ISR possessed. But it was years away from being completed when the ISR demanded surrender or death. Earth chose to fight and sped up production. But, the ISR eventually beat back all of Earth's forces and eliminated all but one Earth colony, Eden, which had broken away from Earth's control, long before the war was declared. The ISR could not break through Earth's defensive shield, so they did the next best thing: they melted the polar ice caps and drowned humanity and sent Earth back to the Stone Age before they could complete and launch the Atlantis. Tens of thousands of years later, the ISR has returned and is threatening to cause another extinction-level event unless Earth surrenders and abandons its colonies in the SOL solar system. However, this time, the ISR has received assistance. The Earthling Preservation Society had infiltrated the ISR and was willing to not only help Earth with valuable information but also find the super dreadnaught, which they hoped was still buried deep inside Atlantis. But first, they had to find the island, Atlantis. They needed to hope that the ship was finished, that they could get it into orbit around the Earth, and that it would be strong enough to force the ISR back to the negotiation table. That was a loss of hope, with little to no backup plan. But any hope was better than a third human extinction event. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Informazioni sul diritto di recesso

Diritto legale di recesso

Hai il diritto di recedere dal presente contratto entro 14 giorni senza fornire alcuna motivazione.

Il periodo di recesso scade dopo 14 giorni dal giorno in cui tu o una terza parte, diversa dal vettore e da te indicata, acquisisce il possesso fisico dell'ultimo bene o dell'ultimo lotto o pezzo.

Per esercitare il diritto di recesso, compila e invia elettronicamente una dichiarazione esplicita sul nostro sito Web, alla voce “I miei acquisti” nella sezione “Mio account”. Ti comunicheremo senza indugio una conferma di ricezione di tale recesso su un supporto durevole (ad es. via e-mail).

Per rispettare il termine di recesso, è sufficiente inviare la comunicazione relativa all'esercizio del diritto di recesso prima della scadenza del periodo di recesso stesso.

Effetti del recesso

In caso di recesso dal presente contratto, ti rimborseremo tutti i pagamenti ricevuti, compresi i costi di spedizione (ad eccezione dei costi supplementari derivanti dalla tua eventuale scelta di un tipo di spedizione diverso dal tipo meno costoso di consegna standard da noi offerto).

Potremo effettuare una detrazione dal rimborso per la perdita di valore dei beni forniti, qualora tale perdita sia il risultato di una manipolazione non necessaria da parte tua.

Eseguiremo il rimborso senza indebito ritardo e non oltre 14 giorni dal giorno in cui saremo informati della tua decisione di recedere dal presente contratto.

Il rimborso sarà effettuato utilizzando lo stesso mezzo di pagamento da te usato per la transazione iniziale, salvo che tu non abbia espressamente concordato altrimenti; in ogni caso, non dovrai sostenere alcun costo quale conseguenza di tale rimborso.

Possiamo trattenere il rimborso finché non avremo ricevuto i beni oppure finché non avrai fornito la prova di averli rispediti, a seconda di quale condizione si verifichi per prima.
