Showing results for "never" in First Contact

Life is beyond dangerous when you are caught up in the ongoing war between Bethany Anne's group and the Forsaken. Both Vampires and Humans have been targeted, but if there is one thing that those who work with Bethany Anne learn, it is you are Never Forsaken.

Bethany Anne and those in the Etheric Empire have conquered the Aliens who would conquer Earth. However, there are a few that do not appreciate the new rules. Dealing with insurrectionists down on the planet, or with a large military rebellion coming from another system, Bethany Anne and team are ready and willing to give everyone a piece of their mind.

“War” is a dirty word on Ragnarok. For the past hundred years, the planet’s human inhabitants have been trying to rebuild their civilization after a self-inflicted nuclear holocaust. The event—which they call the “Great Destruction”—was so traumatic they’ve destroyed all the records and refuse to talk about it, other than to swear it will never ever happen again. At least, that’s what they tell the Lunar Free State’s contact team.

I'm not exactly broke, but this Major Daphne owned more planets than I do golf balls. Whereas my mining interests were mostly on earth, the Major got in early on the Centaurus grab. A whole generation later, all I could stake out was one hot little hunk of tropical mud that no one else would fool with. Daphne liked to kid me about my "galactic empire" every time we collided at the club. I was a bachelor and Daphne was married, but he spent more time there than I.

An interplanetary biologist locks himself in a fortified research lab with an alien octopus, stranding his teammates outside in the path of a ferocious hurricane on a water-covered world. The animal already killed one of them, and the scientist-commandos must get inside to confront it, or die in the storm. But the octopus has plans of its own, because it just discovered a new species, too: humans.

Sowohl Vampire als auch Menschen sind zu Opfern geworden, aber wenn es eine Sache gibt, die Bethany Annes Mitstreiter gelernt haben, dann ist es die Tatsache, dass man NIEMALS AUFGEGEBEN wird. "Niemals aufgegeben", der fünfte Teil des Kurtherianischen Gambits, spinnt die Geschichte aus "Scheiß drauf!" weiter. Wenn Du die vorhergehenden Bücher nicht gelesen hast, kann ich Dir nur wärmstens empfehlen dies zu tun. Dieses Buch ist Teil einer Serie und viele der vorkommenden Protagonisten wurden in den vorherigen Büchern in die Geschichte eingeführt.
