Swarm Enemy: Book 2 (Swarm Rising)

Product Information

As well as science and aliens, these books also feature some moral messages . Peake and Cole are often too overt with these for my taste, but they are incorporated well into the plotline. Pivotal to the story in Swarm Rising, for example, is our destruction of the planet, which is the reason aliens have arrived. “Humanity is too divided. You are incapable of working together to make change,” retorts a member of the Swarm when Danny tries to argue that we can fix it. But as Adi points out: “The children of Earth hold the hope for the planet’s redemption.” Tim served as an army officer and a combat search and rescue instructor, and flew helicopter operations. Tim was selected as an ESA astronaut in May 2009 and after arduous training Tim was assigned to a mission to the International Space Station in May 2013. The science and business of space Explore the latest trends and opportunities associated with designing, building, launching and exploiting space-based technologies

Revolutions in computing Find out how scientists are exploiting digital technologies to understand online behaviour and drive research progress The first chapter of Swarm Rising is a prime example of this style. For instance, when Danny’s mum is talking about some previously detected signals, the conversation with Danny goes like this: “ ‘…the radio waves were being thrown out by a stellar remnant.’ ‘The last remains of a star, you mean?’ Yeah, you can call me a geek, but growing up with two astronomers means it’s hard to miss this stuff. ‘There are different types, aren’t there?’ ” It is however worth persevering through the information-heavy sections, and the authors are less prone to them in the second book .Only 628 people in human history have left Earth. In Space: The Human Story, astronaut Tim Peake traces the lives of these remarkable men and women who have forged the way, from Yuri Gagarin to Neil Armstrong, from Valentina Tereshkova to Peggy Whitson. Perfect for fans of Alex Rider, Young Bond and Cherub, this fast-paced action-adventure is the second thrilling story from astronaut Tim Peake and bestselling author Steve Cole. The alien Swarm is rising once more...
