The Other Space Race is a unique look at the early U.S. space program and how it both shaped and was shaped by politics during the Cold War. Eisenhower’s “New Look” expanded the role of the Air Force in national security, and ultimately allowed ambitious aerospace projects, namely the “Dyna-Soar,” a bomber equipped with nuclear weapons that would operate in space. Eisenhower’s space policy was purely practical, creating a strong deterrent against the use of nuclear arms against the United States. With the Soviet launch of Sputnik in 1957, the political climate changed, and space travel became part of the United States’ national discourse. Sambaluk explores what followed, including the scuttling of the “Dyna-Soar” program and the transition from Eisenhower’s space policy to John Kennedy’s. This well-argued, well-researched book gives much needed perspective on the Cold War’s influence on space travel and it’s relation to the formation of public policy.

For millennia, the Kamir and their creation, the Il'Ri'Kamm Hive Mind, have warred against each other and their allies. Now, in the 31st Century, the crew of the VES Minerva are charged with the mission of bearing a small boy to a desolate, deadly world where the two ancient races will face each other in a final showdown. If the Minerva succeeds, the two races will annihilate each other and OtherSpace faster-than-light drives will cease functioning. If the Minerva fails, corporeal life will be destroyed. OtherSpace: Storm Warning is a snapshot of the shared epic that has been told online in real-time since 1998, by participants from around the world. The universe and several key characters are the creation of Wes Platt, but the characters of participants help flesh out and spark critical events that shape the history of the text-based improvisational storytelling environment.

If wishes would only come true; how often has every human being thought that? How wonderful life would be if only we could have everything we ever dreamed of? But the man who invented the dream-machine turned out to be the worst enemy humanity ever encountered! The dream became as real as the reality - and yet remained a figment of the imagination. And thereby the very foundations of civilization were undermined. Why strive - when you could get it all without effort? Reality Forbidden is the unusual novel of what came afterwards. Of the world in which only the most rigid of terror kept cities standing, and of the man who dared to escape that world, to find the last place on Earth where dreaming was not prohibited, and where one could not only have one's cake, but eat it as well!
