The Future of Being Human and Other Essays【電子書籍】[ Sylvia Engdahl ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>What will humans be like in the future? According to science fiction author Sylvia Engdahl, they will be no different from what they're like now. There will be many innovations in technology and ways of daily life, but people are people, wherever and whenever they happen to live, and that's not going to change.</p> <p>In this book Engdahl departs from the theme of space colonization on which her past essays (available in her book From This Green Earth) have focused, and discusses such topics as artificial intelligence, "paranormal" psi powers, healthcare policy, and the coming loss of personal privacy. Her controversial views on these subjects will inspire thought about what the future is likely to bring.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 468円

Defender of the Flame【電子書籍】[ Sylvia Engdahl ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Starship pilot Terry Radnor is elated to be among those chosen to defend the secret colony Maclairn against enemies who pose a threat to the spread of paranormal human mind powers. He commits himself wholly to the goal of that world, not guessing how far his effort to protect it will take him from everything else he cares about--his promising career as a Fleet officer, contact with people who share his newly-discovered psi capability, his wife and unborn child. Torn away against his will after learning a secret too deep for its disclosure to be risked, he is forced into exile from all that has previously mattered to him, and must build a perilous new life far from Maclairn, grounded without hope of fulfilling his earlier pledge. Yet a mysterious and extraordinary destiny has been predicted for Terry, and against all odds fate puts him in place to confront the colony’s greatest peril.</p> <p>This is the first book in the Captain of Estel trilogy, but is complete in itself and can be read alone. Set two centuries later in time than the Founders of Maclairn duology--consisting of Stewards of the Flame and Promise of the Flame, which tell of the founding of Maclairn--it is an independent and quite different story that in no way depends on having read them. Please note that unlike Engdahl's YA novels, all five of these are adult science fiction and contain some material inappropriate for readers below high school age.</p> <p>From the reviews:</p> <p>“This book reaches back to the brio and speculation of Engdahl’s classic books of the Seventies. . . The reader will be taken on an exciting and suspenseful ride. . With an admirable protagonist and many interesting and well-drawn characters major and minor, Defender is satisfying on multiple levels. . . I expected to like this book; I was startled that I loved it. A must read.” ーLiterary critic Nicholas Birns</p> <p>“These novels [this book and its sequel] are not so much genre ‘Romance’ or even just ‘Science Fiction’ as they are Literature. These are novels about life.” --Jacqueline Lichtenberg, Alien Romances Reviews 14</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 450円

Children of the Star: The Complete Trilogy【電子書籍】[ Sylvia Engdahl ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>An omnibus edition containing the complete trilogy This Star Shall Abide (known in the UK as Heritage of the Star), Beyond the Tomorrow Mountains, and The Doors of the Universe.</p> <p>Noren can see that his world is not as it should be--it is wrong that only the Scholars, and their representatives the Technicians, can use metal tools and Machines. It's wrong that only they have access to the impenetrable City, which he has always longed to enter. Above all, it is wrong for the Scholars to have sole power over the distribution of knowledge. Unable to believe in the Prophecy that promises these restrictions will someday end, he declares it to be a fraud and defies the High Lew under which they are enforced. His family and the girl to whom he is betrothed reject him. Yet he cannot turn back from the path that leads him to the mysterious fate awaiting heretics. And the more he learns of the grim truth about his people's deprivations, the less possible it seems that their world can ever be changed. It will take more drastic steps than he has imagined to restore their rightful heritage.</p> <p>Of the hardover editions of these novels Kirkus Reviews said, "The fascination of both [the first two] volumes lies in Engdahl's ability to create a many-layered society with a tragic past and a doubtful future that depends on its ability to cope with a harsh, brutal environment." The three were "originally marketed as young adult books, but there is nothing juvenile about them," said the San Jose Mercury News when they were republished in one volume as adult science fiction. "Engdahl tells an important and pertinent story,"</p> <p>Thu classic trilogy has made a lasting impression on young people of several geberations. See the description page for This Star Shall Abide for more reader reviews.</p> <p>Although these three novels were originally published in hardcover as Young Adult books, the second and third are primarily of interest to older teens and adults; the omnibus edition, first published in 2000, was therefore issued as adult science fiction.</p> <p>From the reviews of This Star Shall Abide</p> <p>Winner of a Christopher Award, given for “affirmation of the highest values of the human spirit.</p> <p>"Tension-filled, beautiful and haunting." --Commonweal</p> <p>"Both logically and consistently suspenseful.... This Star will Abide a good deal longer than most here today, gone tomorrow sci-fi." --Kirkus Reviews</p> <p>From the reviews of Beyond the Tomorrow Mountains</p> <p>"Engdahl has carefully worked out the social structure and ecology of a scientific society that has been transferred to a planet without metals. What’s more, she wrestles with deeply adult problems of an apparently meaningless universe and of a people’s right to know facts that may destroy everything they hold dear." --Psychology Today</p> <p>"Introspective readers will identify with Noren and his doubts and sense of despair while the general science fiction buff will appreciate the further experiences of Noren within the credibly developed society on a planet unlike Earth." --Booklist</p> <p>From the reviews of The Doors of the Universe</p> <p>"Engdahl can make a reader forget her characters are on another planet, forget that they may not be human in precisely the way the people on this planet are, forget the problems Noren is facing are simply fiction. . . . Humanity, she says, transcends the definitions of outward form and physical location." --Ypsilanti Press</p> <p>"Although it is the third book of a trilogy, The Doors of the Universe stands powerfully by itself as a quest for survival on a planet that is basically alien to the Six Worlds’ life forms. This is much more than an adventure story. It is one man’s realization of the need for change and his slow acceptance of the responsibility to lead that change. . . . One never gets bored with the story and it haunts the reader long after it is finished." --Journal of Reading</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 723円

The Far Side of Evil【電子書籍】[ Sylvia Engdahl ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>On completion of her training as an agent of the interstellar federation’s Anthropological Service, Elana is sent to a world whose people may soon destroy their civilization. Since not enough is understood about the situation to justify any interference with their evolution, the Service has no power to act; its agents must go as helpless observers, posing as natives, in the hope of gaining knowledge that may help to save other worlds. This passive role proves intolerable to the young, inexperienced agent assigned to the same city as Elana, a city under totalitarian rule. After falling in love with a local girl who has become Elana's closest friend, he identifies too completely with the natives and unwittingly endangers the entire world by a well-meant but ill-advised attempt to intervene. Forced to assume responsibility for undoing the damage, Elana finds that only she--at great cost--can prevent an immediate war of annihilation.</p> <p>Although this novel has the same heroine as the author’s Newbery Honor book Enchantress from the Stars, it is completely independent and is intended for older readers, high school age and adults.</p> <p>From the reviews of The Far Side of Evil</p> <p>"A surprising, haunting, poetic book . . . full of provocative philosophical and psychological questions as well as tense adventure and romance." --Commonweal</p> <p>"An intriguing, provocative story relevant to situations in today's world." --Booklist</p> <p>"Gripping psychological science fiction . . . the relationship between the heroine and her sophisticated, unbrutish interrogator is beautifully balanced and adds another dimension to a story which is already multi-faceted." --Times Literary Supplement, London</p> <p>"The author has a direct, forceful style of writing that sparks the reader’s imagination." --Publisher’s Weekly</p> <p>"Fiction doesn't have to be profound, just entertaining. But every once in a long while, a novel comes along that is both. . . . [It] speak[s] to the very place of humanity in the universe, and what we need to do to attain and claim it.

Women and the Politics of Representation in Southeast Asia Engendering discourse in Singapore and Malaysia【電子書籍】[ Adeline Koh ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Singapore and Malaysia are rapidly modernising, globalising Asian states which, although being distinct nations since 1965, share common elements in the on-going struggle over the meaning of gender and sexuality in their societies. This is the first book to discuss a range of discourses around gender in these two countries.</p> <p>Women and the Politics of Representation in Southeast Asia: <em>Engendering Discourse in Singapore and Malaysia</em> seeks to give an overview of how gender and representation come together in various configurations in the history and contemporary culture of both nations. It examines the discursive construction of gender, sexuality and representation in a variety of areas, including the politics of everyday life, education, popular culture, literature, film, theatre and photography. Chapters examine a range of tropes such as the Orientalist "Sarong Party Girl," the iconic "Singapore Girl" of Singapore Airlines, and the figure of pious Muslim femininity celebrated by Malaysian NGO IMAN, all of which play important roles in delineating limitations for gender roles. The collection also draws attention to resistance to these gender boundaries in theatre, film, blogs and social media, and pedagogy.</p> <p>Bringing together research from a variety of humanistic and social science fields, such as film, material culture, semiotics, literature and pedagogy, the book is a comprehensive feminist survey that will be of use for students and scholars of Women’s Studies and Asian Studies, as well as on courses on gender, media and popular culture in Asia.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 8,278円

Summary of Infinite Country by Patricia Engel【電子書籍】[ Condensed Books ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>A high-quality summary of Patricia Engel´s book Infinite Country, including chapter details and an analysis of the main themes of the original book.</p> <p>About the original book:</p> <p>Talia is being kept at a juvenile detention center in Colombia's forested mountains after performing an impulsive act of violence that may or may not have been justified. She needs to leave immediately and return to Bogot?, where her father and a plane ticket to the United States await her. She might miss her chance to be reunited with her family if she misses her flight.</p> <p>Like the swirls of a kaleidoscope, the story of how one family came to occupy two distinct countries, two different universes, comes into focus. Mauro and Elena, Talia's parents, fell in love as teens in a market stall against the backdrop of civil war and societal instability. They leave Bogot? with their firstborn, Karina, in search of safety and opportunity in the United States on a temporary visa, and two more children, Nando and Talia, are born on American soil. We see the actions and indecisions that led to Mauro's deportation and the family's disintegration, as well as the expenses they've all had to bear since then.</p> <p>Patricia Engel, an award-winning, an internationally acclaimed novelist who is also a dual citizen and the daughter of Colombian immigrants, gives voice to all five family members as they navigate the specifics of their situations. Infinite Country is "as much an all-American story as it is a global one," as it is rich with Bogot? urban life, deep in Andean myth, and tension with the daily reality of the undocumented in America (Booklist, starred review).</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 450円

Women of Ice and Fire Gender, Game of Thrones and Multiple Media Engagements【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>George R.R. Martin's acclaimed seven-book fantasy series <em>A Song of Ice and Fire</em> is unique for its strong and multi-faceted female protagonists, from teen queen Daenerys, scheming Queen Cersei, child avenger Arya, knight Brienne, Red Witch Melisandre, and many more. The <em>Game of Thrones</em> universe challenges, exploits, yet also changes how we think of women and gender, not only in fantasy, but in Western culture in general.</p> <p>Divided into three sections addressing questions of adaptation from novel to television, female characters, and politics and female audience engagement within the GoT universe, the interdisciplinary and international lineup of contributors analyze gender in relation to female characters and topics such as genre, sex, violence, adaptation, as well as fan reviews. The genre of fantasy was once considered a primarily male territory with male heroes. <em>Women of Ice and Fire</em> shows how the GoT universe challenges, exploits, and reimagines gender and why it holds strong appeal to female readers, audiences, and online participants.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,043円

Lives of the Philadelphia Engineers Capital, Class and Revolution, 1830?1890【電子書籍】[ Andrew Dawson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Lives of the Philadelphia Engineers examines the emergence of a new class of industrial entrepreneur and the world it confronted and shaped. Historians are reluctant to examine nineteenth-century American business leaders as a social group and this study helps remedy the defect. This book interweaves a history of the social and economic development of the largest centre of machine building in nineteenth-century America with the dramatic political narrative of sectional conflict, Civil War and Reconstruction. Crossing and re-crossing the boundary between industrial and political history, it throws new light on the process of industrialisation, the Civil War conflict, and the contested governance of nineteenth-century cities. While this study is firmly rooted in the experience of Philadelphia's machine builders, its historiographic significance extends to many of the important themes of mid-century American history. By rejecting the conventional viewpoint that timid manufacturers were conservative supporters of the plantation South and insisting that workshop owners rejected slavery, this study reinvigorates one of the Civil War's enduring interpretative battles. Of interest to scholars of business, economic, social, labour, education, urban and Civil War history, it will no doubt stimulate further debate and add a new angle to our understanding of nineteenth-century America.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 7,343円

Children’s Healthcare and Parental Media Engagement in Urban China A Culture of Anxiety?【電子書籍】[ Qian Gong ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book analyses parental anxieties about their children’s healthcare issues in urban China, engaging with wider theoretical debates about modernity, risk and anxiety. It examines the broader social, cultural and historical contexts of parental anxiety by analysing a series of socio-economic changes and population policy changes in post-reform China that contextualise parental experiences. Drawing on Wilkinson’s (2001) conceptualisation linking individual’s risk consciousness to anxiety, this book analyses the situated risk experiences of parents’ and grandparents’, looking particularly into their engagement with various types of media. It studies the representations of health issues and health-related risks in a parenting magazine, popular newspapers, commercial advertising and new media, as well as parents’ and grandparents’ engagement with and response to these media representations. By investigating ‘a culture of anxiety’ among parents and grandparents in contemporary China, thisbook seeks to add to the scholarship of contemporary parenthood in a non- Western context.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 7,900円

The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia Engaging in everyday struggle【電子書籍】[ Alexandrina Vanke ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Despite the intense processes of deindustrialisation around the world, the working class continues to play an important role in post-industrial societies. However, working-class people are often stigmatised, morally judged and depicted negatively in dominant discourses.</p> <p>This book challenges stereotypical representations of workers, building on research into the everyday worlds of working-class and ordinary people in Russia’s post-industrial cities. <em>The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia</em> is centred on the stories of local communities engaged in the everyday struggles that occur in deindustrialising settings under neoliberal neo-authoritarianism.</p> <p>The book suggests a novel approach to everyday life in post-industrial cities. Drawing on an ethnographic study with elements of arts-based research, the book presents a new genre of writing about workers influenced by the avant-garde documentary tradition and working-class literature.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 13,567円

<p><strong>In this “profound, daring” tale of loss and faith, a woman haunted by tragedy begins to find healing in the watersーand loveーthat surround her (<em>San Francisco Chronicle</em>).</strong></p> <p>Reina Castillo’s beloved brother has been sentenced to death for an unthinkable crime that shocked the communityーand Reina secretly blames herself. Devastated and grieving, Reina moves to a quiet enclave in the Florida Keys seeking anonymity and a new start, and meets Nesto Cadena, a recently exiled Cuban awaiting the arrival of the children he left behind in Havana.</p> <p>Inspired by Nesto’s love of the sea and capacity for faith, Reina comes to understand her own connections to the life-giving and destructive forces of the ocean that surrounds her, as well as its role in her family’s troubled history. Against a vibrant coastal backdrop that ranges from Miami to Cartagena, Colombia, author Patricia Engel delivers a profound and riveting Pan-American story of fractured souls finding solace and redemption in the beauty and power of the natural worldーand in one another.</p> <p>“This is a writer who understands that exile can be as much an emotional state as a geographical one, that the agony of leaving tugs against the agony of being left behind. . . .

By conceiving of analytical practices such as observation, shop talk, and conceptualization in experiential terms, the seen but unnoticed structures of knowledge work are exposed and made available for empirical analysis.</p> <p>In a departure from ethnographic studies of research that focus on the physical sciences, the author uses the example of sociological research to shed new light on the role of self and mind for epistemic cultures, on the elusive materiality of conceptual objects, and on researchers’ experiential ways of seizing, reviewing, and accrediting knowledge.</p> <p>A rich and pervasive study of elementary sites in the research process, <em>The Body of Knowledge</em> will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, and the humanities with interests in the epistemic practice of their own discipline, as well as those working in fields such as the social study of science, ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, and the sociology of interaction.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 7,343円

The Doors of the Universe【電子書籍】[ Sylvia Engdahl ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Noren has found faith in the Prophecy’s fulfillment in the face of overwhelming odds. But the more he learns of the grim truth about his people's situation, the less possible it seems that their world can be changed. It will take more drastic steps than anyone imagined to restore their rightful heritageーand he alone can do what is needed, But it will mean giving up all else that matters to him.</p> <p>The three novels in this trilogy were originally published in hardcover by Atheneum as Young Adult fiction, although unlike the first, This Star Shall Abide, this one--which is about Noren;s adult life--is rarely of interest to readers below high school age.</p> <p>From the reviews:</p> <p>“Although it is the third book of a trilogy, The Doors of the Universe stands powerfully by itself as a quest for survival on a planet that is basically alien to the Six Worlds’ life forms. This is much more than an adventure story. It is one man’s realization of the need for change and his slow acceptance of the responsibility to lead that change. . . . One never gets bored with the story and it haunts the reader long after it is finished.” ーJournal of Reading</p> <p>“This Star Shall Abide and Beyond the Tomorrow Mountains ... serve as solid foundation for this powerful culminating volume that treats in far greater depth the philosophical/ethical/religious issues raised in the earlier books. . . . Engdahl’s latest story is certain to appeal to the thoughtful good reader.” ーBooklist</p> <p>“Engdahl again proves herself a master storyteller in this third book of her sci-fi trilogy. As a converted sci-fi hater, I am again impressed with the depth of ideas that she explores.... The constant twists and expansions of plot keep the reader’s attention from lagging.” ーProvident Book Finder, Scottsdale PA</p> <p>““Engdahl can make a reader forget her characters are on another planet, forget that they may not be human in precisely the way the people on this planet are, forget the problems Noren is facing are simply fiction. . . . Humanity, she says, transcends the definitions of outward form and physical location.” ーYpsilanti Press<br /> “This book and its companions, This Star Shall Abide and Beyond the Tomorrow Mountains, will become classics of science fiction. They will not, unfortunately, be popular [with teens] because the intellectual level and reading difficulty will restrict their circulation to the more intelligent high school students.” ーChildren’s Book Review, Brigham Young University</p> <p>[The novels of the trilogy were first] marketed as young adult books, but there is nothing juvenile about them.... Engdahl tells an important and pertinent story, a parable about the ethical uses of mythology. Under what conditions is it justifiable to keep people in ignorance? Should knowledge ever be sequestered? Who can decide what is good for other people? Is it legitimate to use religion to control a population at risk? Engdahl opens all these questions and more in these novels, which read quickly; the writing is plain and direct, the only lyricism in the stunning liturgical language she invents." ーSan Jose Mercury News</p> <p>"You will almost certainly come away enriched from Children of the Star, but ... this is not an easy read, in any sense of that term. Which is perhaps another way of saying that it's an extremely good book." ーInfinityPlus</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 453円

Promise of the Flame【電子書籍】[ Sylvia Engdahl ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Three hundred people in a starship low on life support -- they must land fast, or they’ll run out of air. Captain Jesse Sanders is their only pilot. How can he choose where to locate their colony with no chance to explore the raw new world? How can he shuttle them all to the surface within a few short hours? And when the site proves less than adequate, how can he live with the knowledge that his own astrogation error was what got them into such a fix?</p> <p>Isolated by choice on a world they have reached in secret, the colonists hope to establish a culture based on psi powers that can someday shape the future of humankind. If they don't starve first. And if they don't lose heart in the face of hardships beyond any they imagined. Jesse hasn't expected to be responsible for the settlement. Peter is the leader, the visionary on whose inspiration they all depend. But Peter has his hands full, not only with maintaining morale but with a grueling ordeal of his own. So the job of ensuring the colony's survival falls on Jesse. And in the end, he must stake his life in a desperate attempt to prevent the loss of all they have gained.</p> <p>Although this is the second book in the Founders of Maclairn duology, it is an independent story that can stand alone -- the two novels are in many respects quite different. However, reading them in reverse order will affect some of the earlier book's suspense. Please note that unlike Engdahl’s YA novels, this is adult science fiction and contains some material inappropriate for readers below high school age.</p> <p>From the reviews:</p> <p>“It is not necessary to read the first [book] in order to be enthralled by the second. . . . Engdahl’s gift is to make her characters seem comfortable and familiar to the reader, even though their circumstances are not. Although clearly a work of science fiction, the ideas and futuristic possibilities are disturbingly real and will remain with the reader long after they’ve finished the book.” ーIndieReader Staff Review</p> <p>“I think I actually like Promise of the Flame even more than Stewards of the Flame. In the first book, the idealist philosophy was created in opposition to the bounds of their society. However, in the sequel, the characters have to balance survival (short and long term) with these ideals. Definitely not an easy task.” ーTCM Reviews</p> <p>“Outsoars its predecessor. . . . As with all of Engdahl’s work, science-fiction fans will recognize the tropes she uses, but it is not just ‘for’ them, no more than the work of a great artist who happens to work in, say, ceramics is just for adepts of that medium. Engdahl has produced high-quality work over a forty-year period, but this is one of her finest achievements.” ーLiterary critic Nicholas Birns</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 395円

Herald of the Flame【電子書籍】[ Sylvia Engdahl ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>As captain of his own starship Estel, Terry Steward, born Terry Radnor, is committed to spreading acceptance of psi powers and other advanced mind capabilities throughout the colonies of humankind. Barred from contact with his beloved planet Maclairn, he now journeys from world to world, heralding the hopeful future about which he alone knows the full truth. But the opponents of mind-powers are gaining strength, and on Earth the persecution of people who develop such abilities is increasing. Soon targeted by bounty hunters, Terry risks everything that matters to him in a desperate attempt to defeat Maclairn's enemies, not guessing that if he lives long enough, he is destined for an even greater role in human history than he has played as a defender of its cause.<br /> This is the second book in the Captain of Estel trilogy. Though it is complete in itself and can be read alone, the first, Defender of the Flame, should be read before this one for fuller understanding of the hero’s past experiences. Set two centuries later in tme than the Founders of Maclairn duology--consisting of Stewards of the Flame and Promise of the Flame, which tell of the founding of Maclairn--it is an independent and quite different story that in no way depends on having read them. Please note that unlike Engdahl's YA novels, all five of these are adult science fiction and contain some material inappropriate for readers below high school age.</p> <p>From the reviews:</p> <p>“A futuristic ride that has many parallels in today’s society. This is a ‘thinking man’s’ science fiction bookーthe type we need more of today!” ーThe Feathered Quill</p> <p>“These novels [this book and its sequel] are not so much genre ‘Romance’ or even just ‘Science Fiction’ as they are Literature. These are novels about life.” --Jacqueline Lichtenberg, Alien Romances Reviews 14</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 450円

Envoy of the Flame【電子書籍】[ Sylvia Engdahl ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Ardith Moran is elated by the prospect of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, elated enough to stake her life on her conviction that they exist after the exploratory expedition's leaders turn back. The last thing she expects is to fall in love with an alien, much less for their love to play a key role in saving Earth from tyranny and eventual ruin. As a member of the Anthropological Service, he is willing to make sacrifices and expects her to do the same. Can she, influenced by the legacy of the now-legendary Captain of Estel, convince Earthborn people that they can't retreat from the universe? Or will Earth's authorities succeed in killing her to suppress the evidence only she and her fellow envoys can provide?</p> <p>Please note: The original edition of this book published in June 2021, which has a woman's face on the cover, has been withdrawn. This is a revised edition published in September 2022.</p> <p>The first two bools in this trilogy, Defender of the Flame and Herald of the Flame, need not be read before this one, as it is complete in itself. However, the backstory it contains includes major spoilers for them. Please note that unlike Engdahl's YA novels, these are adult science fiction and contain some material inappropriate for readers below high school age.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 450円

The Captain of Estel: The Complete Trilogy【電子書籍】[ Sylvia Engdahl ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The books in this trilogy have been retitled to make plain that they are a separate and quite different story from Sylvia Engdahl's other novels with "Flame" in their titles, set centuries later, which can be read independently.</p> <p>Book One: PASSAGE TO DESTINY<br /> (Originally published as Defender of the Flame)</p> <p>Starship pilot Terry Radnor is elated to be among those chosen to defend the secret colony Maclairn against enemies who pose a threat to the spread of paranormal human mind powers. He commits himself wholly to the goal of that world, not guessing how far his effort to protect it will take him from everything else he cares about. Torn away from his family and career against his will after learning a secret too deep for its disclosure to be risked, he is forced to build a new life far from Maclairn. Yet a mysterious and extraordinary destiny has been predicted for Terry, and fate puts him in place to confront the colony's greatest peril.</p> <p>Book Two: A SHIP NAMED HOPE<br /> (Originally published as Herald of the Flame)</p> <p>As captain of his own starship Estel, Terry is committed to spreading acceptance of paranormal mind powers throughout the colonies of humankind. Barred from contact with his beloved planet Maclairn, he now journeys from world to world, heralding the hopeful future about which he alone knows the full truth. But the opponents of such powers are gaining strength, and on Earth the persecution of people who develop them is increasing.

Can she, influenced by the legacy of the now-legendary Captain of Estel, convince Earthborn people who don't want to meet aliens that they can't retreat from the universe? Or will Earth's authorities succeed in killing her to suppress the evidence only she and her fellow envoys can provide?</p> <p>FROM THE REVIEWS OF BOOKS IN THE TRILOGY</p> <p>“This book reaches back to the brio and speculation of Engdahl’s classic books of the Seventies. . . Defender [of he Flame] is satisfying on multiple levels. . . I expected to like this book; I was startled that I loved it. A must read.” ーLiterary critic Nicholas Birns</p> <p>“A futuristic ride that has many parallels in today’s society. This is a ‘thinking man’s’ science fiction bookーthe type we need more of today!” ーThe Feathered Quill</p> <p>“These novels are not so much genre . . . Science Fiction as they are Literature.
