Two hundred million kilometres accross, with a surface area that exceeds that of a quarter-billion worlds, the Dyson sphere is one of the most astounding discoveries the Federation has ever made. Now the USS Enterprise with Captain Jean-Luc Picard at the helm has returned to explore the awesome mysteries of the sphere. Intrigued by what is possibly the greatest archeological treasure of all time, Picard hopes to discover the origin of humanoid life throughout the galaxy - or perhaps the ultimate secret of the mechanistic Borg. But when a neutron star approaches on a collision course with the sphere, a mission of discovery becomes a desperate race against time. The many sentient species inhabiting the sphere face extinction - unless the Enterprise can save them all.

Civil war looms in the Bobiverse in this brand-new, epic-length adventure by best seller Dennis E. Taylor. More than a hundred years ago, Bender set out for the stars and was never heard from again. There has been no trace of him despite numerous searches by his clone-mates. Now Bob is determined to organize an expedition to learn Bender's fate-whatever the cost. But nothing is ever simple in the Bobiverse. Bob's descendants are out to the 24th generation now, and replicative drift has produced individuals who can barely be considered Bobs anymore. Some of them oppose Bob's plan; others have plans of their own. The out-of-control moots are the least of the Bobiverse's problems. Undaunted, Bob and his allies follow Bender's trail. But what they discover out in deep space is so unexpected and so complex that it could either save the universe-or pose an existential threat the likes of which the Bobiverse has never faced.

“The Starship and the Canoe is neither a wilderness survival manual nor a book of blueprints. It is another of those rare books impossible to define: the kind that seeks you in time. And you will know it, live it, and consult it thereafter simply by name.” --Chicago Sun-Times “Brower’s superbly written book clutches at one’s imagination.” --Publishers Weekly “In the tradition of Carl Sagan and John McPhee, a bracing cerebral voyage past intergalactic hoopla and backwoods retreats.” --Kirkus Reviews Originally published in 1978, The Starship and the Canoe is the remarkable story of a father and son: Freeman Dyson is a world-renowned astrophysicist who dreams of exploring the heavens and has designed a spaceship to take him there. His son George, a brilliant high school dropout, lives in a treehouse and is designing a giant kayak to explore the icy coastal wilderness of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Author Kenneth Brower describes with stunning impact their lives and their visions of the world. It is a timeless tale framed by modern science, adventure, family, and the natural world.

This story is based on true events that occurred in recent years. The dates, places, and names were changed to protect the survivors and safeguard the security of all the inhabitants of our planet, especially the citizens of the United States of America. The findings and incredible discoveries that will be revealed must be safeguarded, as they could be very dangerous if they fall into the wrong hands. The characters in this story look like you. They embody citizens who, over time, only wanted to protect us from the unknown and from the imminent danger that it meant for humanity; they are our anonymous heroes. Ultimately, the human race is not prepared to interact with beings from other planets and distant galaxies. The infinite knowledge behind The Dyson Sphere is best kept out of the public eye, and it is that very few know these beings have influenced our lives for thousands of years without us imagining it. The Dyson Sphere will open your eyes to a new world. You will discover events that governments have hidden for more than 150 years. Prepare to confront yourself and question everything you think you know and actually do know. Do it with a very open mind, because when you reach the end, you will understand that this story is just beginning.
