Rogue Planet

Rogue Planet

Hidden away from near-Earth planets in remote spiral arms of the Galaxy are Human worlds that have lost contact with more progressive worlds and reverted to strange and primitive customs and traditions, their leaders using religion, superstition, and imported technologies to rule in tyranny. Survey ships explored and catalogued these planets as suitable for future colonization centuries earlier, but groups with a special interest in ensuring a homogeneous and often despotic society didn't bother applying for permission to colonize. Following the ITUIP (Interstellar Trade Union of Independent Planets) Protocol, ships are restricted to observe and maintain a hands-off policy for these rogue planets, even when there is great temptation to intervene. Eden, where a theocracy rules with an iron fist, is such a planet. A group of rebels struggles to end the oppressive regime to forge a new future. Set in the same universe as the "Chaos Chronicles Trilogy" and the Dr. Carlos stories, this saga, mixing the best of hard sci-fi and swashbuckling fantasy, once again explores the never-ending battle between good and evil so prominent in the author's works. It's another surprising and entertaining addition to his already extensive collection of sci-fi, mystery, and thriller tales. What reviewers said about some of Steve's previous sci-fi books: Survivors of the Chaos: "...Moore has a way of describing his characters that really makes them come to life.... Through some pretty varied characters, you get to see the vast and detailed setting that the author envisioned, sometimes through some pretty unexpected plot twists."-Kellie Sheridan, Sift Book Reviews More than Human: The Mensa Contagion: "...kept me turning pages after I should have put the book down.... I found the characters well developed and the plot fresh. I was reminded of Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy."-Debra Miller, Amazon reviewer

Esther Brookstone, ex-MI6 agent in East Berlin in the Cold War and ex-Scotland Yard Inspector in the Art and Antiques Division, is on her honeymoon with Interpol agent Bastiann van Coevorden. Their idyllic cruise down the Danube is interrupted when a reclusive and mysterious passenger is murdered.***Why was the victim alone on that riverboat filled with couples, in a stateroom by himself? And who killed him? Esther and Bastiann were often called Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot by wags at the Yard, and this addition to the series might remind readers of Christie's Death on the Nile and Murder on the Orient Express, but this mystery/thriller is very much a story set in the twenty-first century. So tour the Danube with Esther and Bastiann...and enjoy the ride ***Steven M. Moore was born in California and has lived in various parts of the US and Colombia, South America. His travels around Europe, South America, and the US, for work or pleasure, taught him a lot about the human condition and our wonderful human diversity, a learning process that started during his childhood in California's San Joaquin Valley.

Computer Insecurity

Computer Insecurity

Springer London Ltd

Many existing titles provide introductions to security concepts and technologies. However, they are typically presented in the style of either academic textbooks or ‘how to’ guides. A business manager, for example, will be more interested in the problems that he may face, and their impact, before being told about the technological solutions. The comprehensively researched text makes reference to many real-life examples to illustrate the points being made, which help to provide evidence of security incidents and the consequences. The book helps to answer the question of why we, particularly if working in corporate roles, should care about IT security, by presenting examples of how insecure systems can be open to exploitation. The aim is to instil readers with a sense of security awareness and foster a more security-conscious IT culture. The text does not focus upon the technological solutions required – it instead concentrates upon the variety of possible vulnerabilities and the likely consequences.

Switched-Mode Power Supply Simulation with SPICE
In a reprint of Steve Sandler's classic technical book, PWM models and power supply simulation solutions are described in depth--with special attention paid to practical magnetic components. All common topologies are discussed, including linear, buck and flyback converters. Practical guidance is given for EMI/RFI filtering and magnetics design and analysis. Most of the book's code (available to book purchasers) will run, unaltered, on all of popular SPICE versions, including PSPSICE, LTSpice and Tina.
