Tucked in his small corner of Kansas, a farm boy dreams of being a pilot, a dream that seems as unreachable as the clouds in the Kansas sky.But when Pearl Harbor is attacked, suddenly his dream is within reach. He finds himself at the controls of a B-17 bomber, gaining experience he is certain will lead to an airline career after the war.War has a way of changing destinies, and when confronted with that harsh reality he is forced to reconcile what's most important to him--the dream he can't have, or the life he can. And sometimes, he learns, dreams have a way of coming true that we never expect.
In Jack Campbell's New York Times bestselling Lost Fleet series, Campbell's hero Captain Black Jack Geary explores the furthest reaches of space. Here, Campbell explores what kinds of problems mankind might face as our horizons expand. The third in a series of collections of Campbell's short stories includes some of Campbell's favorite stories, and some of his earliest. A brand new author's note accompanies each story."Lady Be Good" is one of Campbell's most popular stories, winner of Analog Magazine's "AnLab" reader poll for Best Short Story and cited in Gardner Dozois' Year's Best SF. The Lady Be Good is an old ship, running obscure routes, not all on the right side of the law, with her loyal first officer Kilcannon and reclusive captain. When Kilcannon decides to rescue the survivors of an attack on a Vestral Company ship, a mysterious new passenger thanks him by asking difficult questions about the Lady, with unexpected answers.In "Kyrie Eleison," the Verio shipwrecked centuries ago on an out-of-the-way planet, and the descendants of the ship's survivors have gotten along as well as they can by following the orders that were passed on to them. But those orders weren't intended to govern life on the planet's surface, and when the Bellegrange arrives on a rescue mission, her captain will have to reckon with the unexpected social order on the planet.In "Do No Harm", a ship is so technologically advanced that it can repair itself--but turning over the keys might not be the best idea. And in "Down the Rabbit Hole," a series of failed attempts at faster-than-light travel lead to a novel approach: sending an untested Naval captain out in a space ship to see if he can figure out what's gone wrong.With eleven stories in all, AD ASTRA is the most multi-faceted introduction to the short fiction of Jack Campbell, and an essential complement to his bestselling book-length work.
A mysterious explosion in China, Oksana is kidnapped, and SETI receives a cryptic distress call from deep space. Mike and the crew discover that not only is the speed of light not a limit to Vesna's capabilities, but they have cousins in trouble across the cosmos.

Høydepunkter fra Geir Uthaugs litterære univers - dikt og gjendiktninger gjennom fire decennier. Ved siden av eminente gjendiktninger av romantikkens mestere - Keats, Shelley, Byron, Wordsworth, Coleridge og Blake, samt viktorianere som Tennyson, Browning og Kipling - har Geir Uthaug skrevet dikt i fri form og metriske rim som bryter med hovedstrømmen av moderne samtidslyrikk og søker en forbindelse til glemte kilder. Om diktet Reims ("Former fra drømmen og speilet") skrev Kjell Olaf Jensen i Aften posten: "Skulle man komme inn på det overdådige og levende åpningsdiktet hvor kate dralen fyller ethvert rom fra havbunnen til himmelhvelvet og enhver tid fra skapelsen til ødeleggelse ville det ikke bli plass i én avis." Lars Roger Furnes skrev om samlingen Obelisk i Sunnmørsposten: "Her er en reflektering av sansning formidlet gjennom klang, rytme, metaforer og viten som bare kan være tilegnet gjennom smerte og lykkeopplevde erfaringer og ikke minst et enormt kunnskapsarsenal. [...] Meditasjoner over tid og følgelig forgjengelighet, liv og død og ikke minst de mange manifestasjoner til kunsten er viktige aspekter ved Uthaugs diktning."
Olen Mika Rantanen ja tämä runokirja on esikoisteokseni. Vielä vähän aikaa sitten en olisi voinut kuvitellakaan pistäväni tekstiä paperille, saati niin, että joku lukisi runojani. Yks kaks huomasin kuinka runoja alkoi syntymään ja sain vinkin, että Mediapinta saattaisi olla kiinnostunut runoistani. Runoni ovat absurdeja ja sisältävät mustaa huumoria. Teksteissäni seikkailevat pirut ja Jeesus ja presidentit, seksiäkin löytyy. Melkein mikään ei ole minulle pyhää. Toivon että nautitte lukuhetkistä. Surffaillaan yhdessä pisin linnunrataa ja katsotaan mitä tulee vastaan.

The Wartime account of Geoffrey Ardron, a Signals officer who after training was posted to a remote Airfield close to the Lake District. From this quiet corner of the UK, he was later sent to Burma to set up communication links where he describes the horrors of the jungle, the constant rain and lots of leeches This is an unpretentious account by a modest man who, like many others in service, simply gets on with his duty whatever he's faced with. Geoffrey Ardron died in 1999 having written this manuscript in the late eighties but never having it seen published. It is now an honour and privilege to see "Ad Astra and all that" in print.
