First Published in 1967, Espionage and Subversion in an Industrial Society presents a comprehensive overview of the true significance of industrial espionage and its relationship with the struggle for economic supremacy of a nation. Industrial espionage is a growth industry and the new battlefield where nations and ideologies struggle for economic supremacy. This and subversive activity may seem relatively harmless in comparison with a ‘hot war’. It is however precisely because the temperature of an all-out war would destroy the civilization, we know that industrial espionage and subversion assume importance. In this book Mr Hamilton has combined his own extensive security knowledge with thorough research in his subjects. This is an interesting read for scholars of diplomacy, international economics, and international politics.

Chelovechestvo perezhivaet trudnye vremena, izo vsekh sil pytajas protivostojat inoplanetnym zakhvatchikam, religioznym fanatikam, utverzhdajuschim, chto oni pribyli s missiej privesti vsju razumnuju zhizn Vselennoj k svoemu Bogu u Kontsa Vremen. Odnako, v to vremja kak milliardy prevraschennykh v kokony ljudej zapolnjajut trjumy neumolimykh korablej-kovchegov oliksov, chelovechestvo igraet v svoju igru - igru kuda bolee dolguju, chem mogli ozhidat prisheltsy. Ne iskljucheno nichego - ot sverkhsekretnoj shpionskoj missii do samogo grandioznogo iz vsekh srazhenij, kakie tolko videl svet. Dostatochno li budet plana, na podgotovku kotorogo ushli tysjachi let, chtoby pobedit, kazalos by, neodolimogo vraga? I kakie tajny na samom dele skryvajut oliksy v svoej stol revnostno okhranjaemoj tsitadeli - anklave?S prisuschim emu optimizmom po povodu stojkosti i potentsiala velichija chelovechestva Piter F. Gamilton effektno zavershaet etu blestjaschuju sagu - i napominaet nam, pochemu svoboda vybora - samaja vazhnaja iz svobod.Perevodchik: Dvinina V.

Najdzhela Sheldona, odnogo iz osnovatelej Sodruzhestva, poseschaet predstavitel rajelej - rasy, naznachivshej sebja strazhami Bezdny, zagadochnogo obrazovanija v jadre Galaktiki, ugrozhajuschego suschestvovaniju vsego zhivogo. Rajeli ubezhdajut Najdzhela uchastvovat v otchajannoj popytke prorvatsja v Bezdnu.Okazavshis vnutri, Najdzhel obnaruzhivaet, chto ljudi - ne edinstvennaja forma zhizni, kotoraja byla vtjanuta v Bezdnu, gde zakony fiziki neskolko inye, a mentalnye sposobnosti, neotlichimye ot magii, v porjadke veschej. Ljudi, okazavshiesja tam v lovushke, vedut borbu s chuzhdym vidom biologicheskikh podrazhatelej. Khotja padantsy obladajut razumom, oni dejstvujut kak besposchadnye ubijtsy.Odnako imenno eti chuzhaki mogut posluzhit kljuchom k polnoj likvidatsii ugrozy Bezdny - esli tolko Najdzhel sumeet raskryt ikh tajnu. V to vremja kak padantsy prodolzhajut besposchadno atakovat ljudej, a ujazvimoe chelovecheskoe obschestvo raskalyvaetsja na raznye lagerja v grazhdanskoj vojne, Najdzhel dolzhen otkryt sekrety padantsev - prezhde chem ego ubjut te samye ljudi, kotorykh on javilsja spasti.Perevodchik: Kitaeva Anna

V dvadtsat tretem veke chelovechestvo stremitelno rasprostranjaetsja po galaktike. Peredovaja tekhnologija svjazannykh mezhdu soboj portalov vyvela iz obraschenija pochti vse vidy transporta, dazhe zvezdolety. Do ljubogo mesta na Zemle i v dalnikh ugolkakh kosmosa, osvoennykh chelovechestvom, teper vsego odin shag. Vse, kazalos by, chudesno - poka na novoj planete v vosmidesjati devjati svetovykh godakh ot Zemli ne obnaruzhivajut razbityj kosmicheskij korabl chuzhoj tsivilizatsii s neobychnym i uzhasajuschim gruzom. Dlja otsenki potentsialnoj ugrozy komandirujut polnomochnuju gruppu. No ne vse sredi nikh te, kem kazhutsja...Perevodchik: Soloveva Galina

Otnositelno utopicheskaja zhizn na Zemle dvadtsat tretego veka gotova pojti naperekosjak, kogda vnezapno vyjasnjaetsja, chto kazhuschajasja bezobidnoj inoplanetnaja rasa javljaetsja odnoj iz khudshikh ugroz, s kotorymi kogda-libo stalkivalos chelovechestvo. Dvizhimye silnym religioznym ekstremizmom oliksy polny reshimosti privesti vsekh razumnykh k sobstvennoj versii Boga. No oni, vozmozhno, vstretili ravnogo sebe protivnika v chelovechestve, kotoroe ne sobiraetsja mjagko podchinitsja ili provesti ostatok dnej, sprjatavshis v ukrytii. Chelovecheskaja izobretatelnost i nepreklonnost prinimajut vyzov, i u ljudej est tolko odna tsel - steret, kazalos by, nepobedimogo vraga s litsa zemli. Dazhe esli dlja etogo pridetsja igrat v po-nastojaschemu dolguju igru. No v khaotichnoj vselennoj trudno planirovat vse vozmozhnye sobytija, a pered rassvetom noch temnee vsego.Perevodchik: Soloveva Galina

In 1961, a boy from Somerset embarked with his family on a six-week voyage to New Zealand. He left behind an English village where generations of his family had lived, to make a new home in a remote country that was still closely tied to the one he'd left.Despite challenges adapting as new immigrants, these were good times to be growing up in rural New Zealand. But the country was about to embark on its own change as ties with Britain were loosening and a more outward-looking, confident and diverse nation was emerging. Peter Hamilton joined the diplomatic service as this change was getting underway and his four-decade career saw him leading diplomatic and free trade efforts with traditional and new partners at a time of unprecedented international change for his adopted country.This book is a rare insider's account of how New Zealand conducts its diplomacy, forges alliances and makes the most of its position as a small South Pacific country on a global stage. It is also a personal story, told with refreshing honesty, of a new migrant who carves out his own path to becoming a Kiwi. And it ends with some observations for a more independent future for his adopted country.

In Peter F. Hamilton and Gareth L. Powell's action-packed sci-fi adventure Light Chaser, a love powerful enough to transcend death can bring down an entire empire. Amahle is a Light Chaser - one of a number of explorers, who travel the universe alone (except for their onboard AI), trading trinkets for life stories. But when she listens to the stories sent down through the ages she hears the same voice talking directly to her from different times and on different worlds. She comes to understand that something terrible is happening, and only she is in a position to do anything about it. And it will cost everything to put it right.

DANELAW is based upon articles in the anti-Fascist magazine SEARCHLIGHT in the early 1990's, which reported an attempt by the neo-Nazi group COMBAT 18 to establish a white-supremacist homeland in East Anglia, with Chelmsford as the capital. COMBAT 18 was then under the leadership of `Charlie' Sergeant. However, the attempt failed when the party's accountant tried to abscond with party funds and was caught and stabbed to death by Sergeant in a caravan park in Harlow. At the same time as these articles there also appeared in the magazine reports of so-called `honey-trap' operations by the Secret Service whereby advertisements for new far-right parties were placed in various neo-Nazi magazines and then anyone who applied was placed on record. I combined these two reports into a plot in which the Secret Service decide to set up DANELAW, a whites-only homeland based on the ancient Viking Danelaw of the 9th and 10th centuries, train any applicants into a private army with the apparent intention of attacking mosques, and then at the last minute swoop and arrest them all. Cliff, a sometime football hooligan, is serving a five year prison sentence for assaulting an Asian man when he is visited by the mysterious Mr. Warboys, a "business entrepreneur" who offers him the chance to re-establish the DANELAW - the Golden Age of Viking rule . . . and so begins a darkly-comic tragedy of violence and death . . .

The primary concern of this study is to present, elucidate and analyse the developments which have characterized the sociology of knowledge, and which have set for it the outlines of its major problematics. Peter Hamilton examines the most distinctive approaches to the determinate relationship between knowledge and social structure. He considers the three main ‘pre-paradigms’ of the sociology of knowledge based on the work of Marx, Durkheim and Weber, and looks at the contribution of Scheler, Mannheim and phenomenological studies to this complex field. He explores the intellectual context, particularly that of Enlightenment philosophy, in which the problems involved in producing a sociology of knowledge first came to light. In conclusion, the author suggests an inclusive perspective for approaching the difficulties posed in any attempt to describe and explain relations between knowledge and social structure.
