Alien Beings Find Ship
704 wordsIf up until now I have been saying about each book that it was the best book I have ever read, I was lying... because compared with this book they all come down to nothing. For four days I have been reading non stop all 370, or so, pages and that's a first for me in English or Hebrew. Highly recommended to all si-fi fans out-there. I find it hard to condense the plot of 370 pages to just a few pages, however, I will try my best. It all starts in mid-ocean, a group of scientists, each a specialis...

This process has the direct effect of alienating the labourer from the object in the capacity of the product of his labour: The worker puts his life into the object; but now his life no longer belongs to him but to the ob...

A distress / warning beacon on an unfamiliar planet caused their ship to awaken them so that help could be dispatched. Of course, it turns out to be a ship that was taken over by the Aliens and the Earthlings's hip ...
