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://www.feedbooks.com/book/976.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/976.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/976.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/976.mobi On the Duty of Civil Disobedience Henry David Thoreau http://www.feedbooks.com/book/219 urn:isbn:1604244291 en 1849 Non-Fiction Essay Politics <p>Thoreau wrote his famous essay, On the Duty of Civil Disobedience, as a protest against an unjust but popular war and the immoral but popular institution of slave-owning. </p> http://www.feedbooks.com/book/219.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/219.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/219.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/219.mobi
