He was talking to four young men in what served as his office when he was in London. U.N.E.X.A., the United Nations Exploration Agency of which Sir Billy was the Director, had a world-wide role. Indeed, it was a role that extended throughout the solar system. U.N.E.X.A. had centres in most countries, but the largest were in America, Russia and Britain. This former Air Ministry building was just one of the score or so scattered throughout London. -

Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Nearly Neptune by Hugh Walters Neptune in Fiction
Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Nearly Neptune by Hugh Walters Neptune in Fiction. The planet Neptune has been used as a reference and setting in various films and works of fiction: The first fictional visit of Neptune, portrayed as glacial but nevertheless inhabited, occurred in Spirito gentil (1889). In H. G. Wells's short story The Star , Neptune is destroyed in a collision with another supermassive object which reduces its orbital velocity to zero; the wreckage falls into the Sun, narrowly missing Earth. In the Captain Future series, Neptune is portrayed as a sea planet, not out of any scientific theory but evidently because Neptune is the Roman sea god. In Olaf Stapledon's 1930 epic novel Last and First Men , Neptune is the final home of the highly evolved human race. The planet is depicted as having a dense atmosphere but with a solid surface. In Hugh Walters' 1968 novel Nearly Neptune , the first manned expedition to Neptune ends in apparent disaster as a fire destroys vital equipment on board the spacecraft as it nears the planet. Neptune was the intended destination of the mining ship Red Dwarf in the books based on the BBC sitcom of that name, but an accident on board sends it into deep space instead. The planet served as the backdrop for the 1997 science fiction/horror film Event Horizon . The humorous short story, "The Elephants on Neptune" by Mike Resnick, was published in Asimov's Science Fiction , and was nominated for both a Hugo and a Nebula award (2001). The pilot of the TV movie Virtuality centers around a starship preparing to make a flyby of Neptune before leaving the solar system. -
