SynopsisInterdimensional gateways open Earth to aliens, but if a way is not found to close those gateways, the less belligerent aliens might annihilate the entire Earth to save their own worlds in this first of a brand-new series., o A complete book on Calder's works, paintings, jewelry and his huge sculptureso Accompanies the Palazzo delle Esposizioni exhibition 23 October 2009 to 14 February 2010 in Rome, twenty-five years after the last exhibition in Italy devoted to this American artistA beautiful monograph on the work of Alexander Calder, one of the most celebrated and influential sculptors of our times, whose illustrious career spanned the twentieth century.Famous for his new method of sculpting, which entailed curving and twisting iron wire, he "designed" tri-dimensional figures in space: these were suspended and abstract elements that moved to then regain balance while changing harmony (so-called mobiles). The first mobile was made in 1931 after the artist's encounter with Mondrian., Baen now launches an exciting new science fiction adventure series by the "New York Times" best-selling author: When a 60-kiloton explosion destroyed the University of Central Florida, and much of the surrounding countryside, the authorities first thought that terrorists had somehow obtained a nuclear weapon. But there was no radiation detected, and, when physicist Dr. William Weaver and Navy SEAL Command Master Chief Robert Miller were sent to investigate, they found that in the center of the destruction, where the Universitys physics department used to be, was an interdimensional gateway to . . . "somewhere". An experiment in subatomic physics had produced a "very" unexpected effect. Furthermore, other gateways were appearing all over the worldand one of them immediately began disgorging demonic visitors intent on annihilating all life on Earth and replacing it with their own. Other, apparently less hostile, aliens emerged from other gateways, and informed Weaver and Miller that the demonic invadersthe name for them that humans could most easily pronounce was the Dreenwere a deadly blight across the galaxy, occupying planet after planet after wiping out all native life; and now it would be Earths turn, unless Weaver and Miller could find a way to close the gateways. If they failed, the less belligerent aliens would face the regrettable necessity of annihilating the entire Earth to save their own worlds. . . ., Baen now launches an exciting new science fiction adventure series by the New York Times best-selling author: When a 60-kiloton explosion destroyed the University of Central Florida, and much of the surrounding countryside, the authorities first thought that terrorists had somehow obtained a nuclear weapon.
