Ben Carrington's dream has become a reality: he's finally a member of Gemini Force. But, still suffering from the deaths of his parents, it's a bitter-sweet triumph. When news reaches GF1 of a gang of illegal 'ghost' miners trapped after a South African mining disaster, Ben is glad to spring into action with the team. But it soon emerges that the company, Auron, doesn't want its miners found. Ben must work out who to trust if he's to ensure that Gemini Force pulls off its most difficult mission yet . . . Impossible rescues. Maximum risk. This is Gemini Force 1.

This book is an accurate account of John Glenn's first flight in space with an imaginative overlay of a cricket who gets into humorous situations. This book should particularly appeal to a child between the ages of about 8-11 who likes science and has humor and imaginative bent.

Jean and Paul are identical twins. Outsiders, even their parents, cannot tell them apart, and call them Jean-Paul. When Jean rebels against their unity and deserts his brother, Paul sets out to follow him in a pilgrimage that leads all around the world, through places that reflect their separation.

A romance begins in 1943, in wartime Britain, between Annabelle, an English pianist, and Andrew, a United States Airforce Engineer. An accident separates them before she can tell him she’s pregnant, as he’s flown back to America. She has identical twin daughters via a caesarean section but is deceived into thinking she’s had only one baby - by the Adoption Agent. Annabelle had changed her mind about adoption but Andrew had heard otherwise. The Adoption Agent gave one child to Annabelle and the other to Andrew in America. Neither parent or twins knew there was a twin sibling until the twins meet in their twenties and begin the process of unearthing the truth about their birth.

Prepare to embark on an epic journey across the galaxy... Through space and time...The fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance as tensions escalate between the United Terran Confederacy and the Independence Mining Corporation. An elite pilot and mercenary known as Blain Ross confronts a formidable enemy ahead, so must he confront the enemy within himself and thwart his former Commanding Officer's hellbent agenda to obtain an ancient artifact with dark, mystical powers that would bring total annhilation across the galaxy and the universe. The artifact is known throughout the galaxy as...The Sixth Eye.

It is common believe that the centers of all galaxies exhibit supermassive black holes with masses ranging from millions up to billions of the mass of our Sun. By accreting surrounding matter, the luminosity of these galactic nuclei can outshine the emission of their host galaxies. If this is the case, they are called active galactic nuclei. Some of these objects eject powerful outflows composed of plasma, called jets. These jets can produce non-thermal radiation which observable across the entire electromagnetic spectrum from radio up to the gamma-ray frequencies. At highest frequencies (TeV range) most of the detected active galaxies have jets directed along or close to the line of sight. However, also galaxies with larger angles to the line of sight showing fascinating features were discovered, in seeming contradiction to traditional models for these so-called radio galaxies. Thus, the latter are of particular importance for understanding active galactic nuclei in general. This Special Issue contains reviews and research articles about the current knowledge of radio galaxies at TeV energies, including observational results and theoretical models. It is intended to guide the interested reader deeper into this fascinating discipline of modern day astronomy.
