The first battles began in the wilderness. The animals in the forests and glades struggled furiously for life and often fought with splendid courage. But they never won; they were always killed. And now it was man's turn. Now the strange wispy vapors, the strange blood-sucking vapors, had tired of animals and looked hungrily toward people.

The Gizmo Invasion was unique in space and time. Not even the dawn of the Atomic Age with its Earth satellite sequel had stirred men more profoundly, or posed a greater challenge. They were spawned in a vast wilderness ... and the war they waged against Man challenged the miracles of modern science. It was the deadliest kind of biological invasion ... because the Gizmos seemed indestructible and were not even animals in a strict sense. They lived only to kill . . . . Then, the whole fighting fleet of the United Nations is caught in Kreynborg's marvelous, unique trap, in "Invasion." "The Strange Invasion" was published in Satellite Science Fiction digest magazine in April 1958. "Invasion" was published in Astounding Stories of Super Science in March 1933.

Bharat News Ticker: Prime Minister Azim Khan takes office, becomes first Muslim to lead India... Pakistan rejects peace talks after hostilities end in the Indo–Pak war... Unconfirmed reports suggest Deputy Prime Minister Karan Nehru’s disenchantment with PMO... Tensions with China escalate as India is accused by Beijing of ‘sheltering Tibetan extremists and abetting instability in Tibet’... Ulema leaders ask PM to cater to Muslim interests or face backlash... US presidential candidates debate South Asian crisis... Opposition parties prepare for the possible fallout of a Khan–Nehru split... Assuming power in the messy aftermath of a war with Pakistan, and mounting hostility with a belligerent China, Azim Khan inherits an India in crisis. Heading a shaky coalition, his leadership is questioned at every turn – most visibly by Deputy PM Karan Nehru, his once-best friend and, more insidiously, by other scheming detractors hidden within his government. India’s first Muslim PM must earn the trust of the Indian people with his leadership and prove he is the man with the ability to heal the wounds of the past and chart a path to a united and bold future for the nation. Buffeted by history, conflicted by ideology, and curbed by his own limitations, Azim and his team of idealists face the ultimate test. Will they succeed? The concluding volume of the bestselling Raisina Series, The War Ministry is a gripping account of the day-to-day functioning of a prime minister and his office.

Preshrunk Ponderings and Rumpled Rememberings is a collection of folksy essays on low-cost housing and its relationship to homelessness, on public transportation and its relationships to independence of movement and quality of life, on artifice and institutionalism in higher education, and on the tinkering mind and creative science. The author draws from his experiences in living life fully from the low-end of the economic scale and offers uncommon perspectives on what readers may find common all around us. Reasonable analyses of problems are intended less toward offerings of solutions than to provoke thought and stimulate discussion. There are no overt polemics or hard-line politics that might stir the dental profession to action from widespread gnashing of teeth. These are just amiable discourses on a few diverse topics to animate some dimension to the prevailing flat dullness and torpor. They are easy reading for a few lazy hours.

“Extraordinary.… A feast of history, an expert tour through thousands of years of war and conquest.” —Jennifer Carson, New York Times Book Review In this far-reaching foray into the millennia-long relationship between science and military power, acclaimed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-author Avis Lang examine how the methods and tools of astrophysics have been enlisted in the service of war. Spanning early celestial navigation to satellite-enabled warfare, Accessory to War is a richly researched and provocative examination of the intersection of science, technology, industry, and power that will introduce Tyson’s millions of fans to yet another dimension of how the universe has shaped our lives and our world.
