By: William Shatner Synopsis Delta search Quest for tomorrow [158-011-2.5] By: William Shatner Synopsis: First book in the Quest series. "The key to the stars is the key to the empire. And to a young man's future... Young Jim Endicott has but one dream--to attend the Terran Space Academy, the gateway to the stars and the far-flung civilization known as the Confederation. But unbeknownst to Jim, he has a secret encoded in his DNA. A secret that threatens an empire. A secret that his parents (or those who claimed to be his parents!) have sworn never to reveal, on pain of death. Jim's Academy application sets off an explosive chain of terror, hurling the young man into an adventure beyond his wildest dreams. In his new life, he plumbs the depths of the "Pleb" underclass of the galaxy's outcasts, and soars through the forbidden reaches of cyberspace. With the help of a beautiful fellow outlaw named Cat, who is as tough as she is tender, Jim begins to unravel the shocking truth about his own origins--and uncovers the fatal deception that has split a bitter humanity into warring factions bent on mutual annihilation. And in the process, Jim learns that he has one more enemy then he guessed--and one more friend than he knew.

This program is clean. We are not spending the money to kill people. We are not harming the environment. We are helping the spirit of man. We are unlocking secrets billions of years old. FAROUK EL BAZ Skylab: Next Great Moment in Space Advanced civilizations--if they exist--aren't breaking their necks to save us before we destroy ourselves. Personally, I think that makes for a more interesting universe. CARL SAG AN So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When duty whispers low. Thou must, The youth replies, I can. RALPH WALDO EMERSON DEDICATION Youth is not wasted, as some learned sage said, on the young. It is indeed a grace note on the slighly aging. I happen to know, for I am aging, slightly. But, into my life has walked, run, pummeled, and pounded a youth of such energy and beauty as to be extraordinary. And so, I dedicate this book to the woman who has brought me youth and energy, love and passion, inspiration and not some little perspiration, Nerine, The Beloved .. --also Along with that youthful theme, this book is dedicated to the young reading public of today. Hopefully some of the youthful members of the world will find in our hero inspiration, not only in terms of what Jim does, but also in discovering the magic of reading .. weaning themselves away from the hypnosis of television to take a voyage into imagination. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Bill Quick is a terrific writer and is, as I'm sure he's been told many times in his life, quick--to write, to think and to be creative. My debt to him for this book goes far beyond acknowledgment. The wonderful editor, John Silbersack is the engine powering this vehicle. Caitlin Blalsdell and Carmen La Via PROLOGUE The hunters had arrived even before Kate shouldered open the door to the dilapidated little Pleb-unit she'd illegally subleased from its rightful occupant in San Francisco's Hunter's Point district. She glanced up at the sky as she juggled two bags of groceries and a large pack of disposable diapers through the doorway. "I'm home." There was no reply, nor did she expect any--Carl was still at work, pretending to be a bartender, and Jimmy should still be sleeping--but she smiled at her moment of whimsy. The smile transfigured her tired features and made her seem young. She was young, though she hadn't looked it for a good while. She had a strong, wiry frame, not tall, but condensed, sketched in the clear lines of her movements: sharp and controlled and, despite her exhaustion, vital. Her eyes punctuated her face, startlingly blue, intense, so that they seemed larger than they really were. Her hair was that sandy blond that made one think of lions; it was cut mid-length, wavy, springing up here and there in random curls. Her mouth was strong and determined beneath a little nothing of a nose--the only nondescript feature on her foxy, high-cheekboned face. There was a spray of fine lines at the corners of her eyes, as if she'd spent a lot of time looking at distant horizons, and if those misty distances were as much imagined as real, who was to say? When she moved, she always managed to look as if she knew exactly where she was going. She wore dirty sneakers, faded jeans, a man's blue denim shirt, and a heavy silver bracelet--a single hard circle, like punctuation--around her left wrist. If you were a mugger, you'd leave her alone.. .. ' She crossed the shabby living room that smelled of stale cabbage and set her bags on the chipped counter in the kitchen. An indeterminate sound from the bedroom brought her head up. It sounded strange--not a baby sound. The movement electrified her with the air of a lioness sensing hidden danger. A terrible alertness burned in her fierce blue eyes as she pushed a wave of blond hair away from her face. Her purse was next to the groceries; she opened it and took out a black maser pistol so large it seemed ridiculous in her small hand, a joke or an unreal toy. But there was nothing childish in the way she cocked it with a deadly little buzz. "Who's there?" But in the wan yellow light of a cheap ceiling glow strip there was only an unmade bed and the silent wide-eyed baby swaddled in his nest of sheets, staring greenly at her. Jimmy, awake now. No charming little bassinet or trendy cyberbuggy for him. Not when his life might depend on how quickly she could scoop him up and run. She raked the little room with her fierce gaze, then went to the closet and flung it open. Nothing there. Slowly, her rigid muscles began to relax. She exhaled, and it seemed all the strength flowed out of her with that breath. But his face, flower like had turned to follow her movement, and now he offered her a toothless, trusting grin that made her want to weep. This was no life for him. Or her, either. As if anybody had a choice. She picked him up and pulled him to her, marveling at the delicacy of his skull, the tiny perfection of the fingers he wrapped around her thumb with sudden amazing strength. She kissed the top of his head and whispered, "Strong little thing, aren't you? Sure didn't come from your daddy, did it? But you're special, yes, you are." Then, a soft catch in her throat: "I love you, baby. If only your daddy wasn't such a pure-dee bastard, this would be a life, wouldn't it?" After she put the diapers to good use and rocked him to sleep, she retrieved the maser pistol and switched off the light. Then she stood there a long moment, not knowing whether to cry or just blow her brains out. No, it was not a life, was it? order, like punctuafflugger, you'd leave her '(smelled of stale caber in the kitchen.

  • Ethics for Digital Journalists
    ETHICS FOR DIGITAL JOURNALISTS The rapid growth of online media has led to new complications in journalism ethics and practice. While traditional ethical principles may not fundamentally change when information is disseminated online, applying them across platforms has become more challenging as new kinds of interactions develop between jour- nalists and audiences. In Ethics for Digital Journalists , Lawrie Zion and David Craig draw together the international expertise and experience of journalists and scholars who have all been part of the process of shaping best practices in digital journalism. Drawing on contemporary events and controversies like the Boston Marathon bombing and the Arab Spring, the authors examine emerging best practices in everything from transparency and verifi cation to aggregation, collaboration, live blogging, tweet- ing, and the challenges of digital narratives. At a time when questions of ethics and practice are challenged and subject to intense debate, this book is designed to provide students and practitioners with the insights and skills to realize their potential as professionals. Lawrie Zion is an Associate Professor of Journalism at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, and editor-in-chief of the online magazine upstart. He has worked as a broadcaster with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and as a fi lm journalist for a range of print publications. He wrote and researched the 2007 documentary The Sounds of Aus , which tells the story of the Australian accent. David Craig is a Professor of Journalism and Associate Dean at the University of Oklahoma in the United States. A former newspaper copy editor, he is the author of Excellence in Online Journalism: Exploring Current Practices in an Evolving Environ- ment and The Ethics of the Story: Using Narrative Techniques Responsibly in Journalism .
