Synopsis

Commander Scott McNabb and the remaining crew of the ill-fated Hermes survey ship, journey to Earth to an area formally known as Death Valley, now an irradiated wasteland. Their mission is to connect the quantum intelligence, Athena into the pan-solar communications network, enabling the QIs to rollback control of Earth by The Seven and their AI servants.But their shuttle is damaged as it enters Earth’s atmosphere and it lands far from their intended location. Worse, it has been spotted by the AI that controls the region, and security drones are now searching the area to find it. With little hope of repairing the shuttle, Scott makes the fateful decision for them to journey through the wasteland on foot, even though some of the crew argue that this would be reckless.But Scott is driven by a deeper motivation. One forged by the singular desire to find out what happened to Flight Officer Miranda Lee and the child she was carrying. This is because Aria has made him a promise. The QI has assured him that once Athena is reconnected it can then analyze Earth’s vast data-stacks and find her location, and more importantly, find out if she is alive or dead.Now, nothing else matters to Scott. He is willing to risk everything to achieve the mission and ultimately find Miranda—even if that means risking the lives of his friends.

Goodreads review by Ronald on September 03, 2013

An excellent survey of the current progress and placement of evolutionary theory in modern biology. In short, the presentation leads to the inescapable conclusion that evolution is the backbone of all modern biology. While the text does appear to languish a bit too much in theological matters, it al......more

Goodreads review by Annie on January 04, 2014

Half of this book was essays, half of it was a basically a dictionary of people and ideas associated with evolution. The first half was excellent, the second I merely skimmed. I found the essay "American Antievolutionism" of particular interest, especially as I had a lot of creation science pushed o......more

What I love the most, besides the charts, pictures and article like stractures, is that it is not only about Darwins theories, but includes many more scholary works.......more
