Ace Books
Ace Books is a publisher of science fiction (SF) and fantasy books founded in New York City in 1952 by Aaron A. Wyn. It began as a genre publisher of mysteries and westerns, and soon branched out into other genres, publishing its first science fiction title in 1953. This was successful, and science fiction titles outnumbered both mysteries and westerns within a few years. Other genres also made an appearance, including nonfiction, gothic novels, media tie-in novelizations, and romances. Ace became known for the ''tête-bêche'' binding format used for many of its early books, although it did not originate the format. Most of the early titles were published in this "Ace Double" format, and Ace continued to issue books in varied genres, bound ''tête-bêche'', until 1973. Ace, along with Ballantine Books, was one of the leading science fiction publishers for its first ten years of operation. The death of owner A. A.

Rough Trails
''Star Trek: New Earth'' is a series of interlinked novels inspired by Gene Roddenberry's original pitch for ''Star Trek'': "Wagon train to the stars." Created by John J. Ordover, the novels follow the crew of the ''Enterprise'' as they escort a colonial expedition into a hostile region of unexplored space. The novels occur during the second five-year mission, sometime between the episode "Turnabout Intruder" and '' Star Trek: The Motion Picture''. The series was intended to be the springboard for a flagship new book line similar to '' Star Trek: New Frontier'', called ''Star Trek: Challenger''. Production John J. Ordover told Jeff Ayers, in ''Voyages of Imagination'' (2006), the concept for ''New Earth'' originated as "a personal reaction to '' Voyager''." He believed there was no stakes for those characters, no "emotional tie" to the region that ship was passing through. Ordover asked, “What if you went outside the known galaxy or outside the common area to find a new co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Traitor Winds
Treason is the crime of attacking a state authority to which one owes allegiance. This typically includes acts such as participating in a war against one's native country, attempting to overthrow its government, spying on its military, its diplomats, or its secret services for a hostile and foreign power, or attempting to kill its head of state. A person who commits treason is known in law as a traitor. Historically, in common law countries, treason also covered the murder of specific social superiors, such as the murder of a husband by his wife or that of a master by his servant. Treason (i.e. disloyalty) against one's monarch was known as ''high treason'' and treason against a lesser superior was ''petty treason''. As jurisdictions around the world abolished petty treason, "treason" came to refer to what was historically known as high treason. At times, the term ''traitor'' has been used as a political epithet, regardless of any verifiable treasonable action. In a civil war or ...
