Edition DescriptionSpecial

SynopsisPilot Pete England used to think there was nothing more exciting in the world than flying off into the wild blue yonder. But lately the blue yonder hasn't been wild at all ... it's been downright dull. Pete's hungry for adventure--and he's about to get his fill. Pete has fallen into a rut, flying the same route--New York to D.C.--with the same passengers, day after day after day. He might as well be driving a bus ... until "her highness" climbs aboard. Apparently a princess, and for one flight, she's bought up every ticket on the plane. Once Pete gets her into the air, the action heats up fast. He learns that the lady is at the center of some international intrigue that could turn the tide of war ... and now a mysterious plane is on their tail, bent on shooting them out of the sky. But that's the least of Pete's concerns. There's more to this princess than meets the eye, and falling in love with her could turn out to be the greatest flight risk of all., Pilot Pete England used to think there was nothing more exciting than flying off into the wild blue yonder. But lately it?s been downright dull. Pete?s hungry for adventure?and he?s about to get his fill when a princess boards his plane. She?s at the center of some international intrigue ... and now a mysterious plane is on their tail, bent on shooting them out of the sky. But that?s the least of Pete's concerns., Han Solo of Star Wars could learn a thing or two from Firsten Guide, the tough, wise-cracking rebel leader who?s light years ahead of his time?and about to lead his crew into a battle that?s Beyond All Weapons. Because the force is most assuredly with Firsten. He and his fellow colonizers of Mars have faced a brutal crackdown engineered by Earth?s tyrannical government. But the resourceful Firsten has developed an extraordinary new fuel that enables him and his hardy band to escape into space?and time. Escape, however, is not enough. Firsten wants revenge. But the universe is full of unexpected twists and turns. Just as Prometheus flew too close to the sun, Firsten will soon discover that when you break the laws of physics, you can get burned. Hubbard was a pioneer in his use and development of Einstein?s theories of space and time as a plot point in his fiction. In Beyond All Weapons, he explains: ?As mass approaches the speed of light ? it approaches infinity. And, as mass approaches infinity, time approaches zero. It was only nine days back from Alpha. But in those nine days, six thousand years have passed by Earth.? It stands as one of the earliest?and most succinct?descriptions of the theory. Also includes the science fiction adventures Strain, the story of a space war?s brutality and one man?s struggle to keep a secret under the pain of torture, and The Invaders, in which the distant crystal mines are under attack until a technician crystallizes a unique strategy to undermine the attackers. ?A thrilling space adventure ? the terror and excitement builds through to the end.? ?Publishers Weekly
