New updated edition 2019. The planets and countless other objects
revolving around our Sun make up the Solar System. As scientists
discover more about these heavenly bodies, including our own
planet, Earth, they are also finding further mysteries and
extraordinary space puzzles. Our Solar System is but one of
billions in the vastness of our galaxy, the Milky Way, and the
Universe itself contains countless more ever-changing galaxies.
This newly updated book covers all of these subjects, from the
tiniest dwarf planet to vast nebulae, and from space probes
searching out new life to the International Space Station, making
it a fascinating home reference guide to our Solar System and
beyond. 300 amazing photographs and detailed illustrations take you
on a whirlwind tour of the cosmos, while an additional reference
section contains fact charts, star maps and a glossary of terms.
Furnace Penitentiary: the world's most secure prison for young
offenders, buried a mile beneath the earth's surface. Convicted of
a murder he didn't commit, sentenced to life without parole, "new
fish" Alex Sawyer knows he has two choices: find a way out, or
resign himself to a death behind bars, in the darkness at the
bottom of the world. Except in Furnace, death is the least of his
worries. Soon Alex discovers that the prison is a place of pure
evil, where inhuman creatures in gas masks stalk the corridors at
night, where giants in black suits drag screaming inmates into the
shadows, where deformed beasts can be heard howling from the
blood-drenched tunnels below. And behind everything is the
mysterious, all-powerful warden, a man as cruel and dangerous as
the devil himself, whose unthinkable acts have consequences that
stretch far beyond the walls of the prison.
Together with a bunch of inmates--some innocent kids who have
been framed, others cold-blooded killers--Alex plans an escape. But
as he starts to uncover the truth about Furnace's deeper, darker
purpose, Alex's actions grow ever more dangerous, and he must risk
everything to expose this nightmare that's hidden from the eyes of
the world.

Alex Sawyer has escaped his underground nightmare to discover
the whole world has become a prison, and Alfred Furnace is its
master. Monsters rule the streets, leaving nothing but murder in
their wake. Those who do not die become slaves to Furnace's reign
of cruelty. Alex is a monster too. He is the only one who can stop
Furnace but in doing so he could destroy everything. Is he the
executed or the executioner? Who will die? All Alex knows is that
one way or another, it all ends now.
Alex tried to escape.
He had a perfect plan.
He was almost free. Even felt the cool, clean air on his
face.
Then the dogs came.
Now he's locked in a place so gruesome--so hellish--that escape
doesn't even matter.
He just wants to survive.
Alex's second attempt to break out of Furnace Penitentiary failed.
This time, his punishment will be much worse than before. Because
in the hidden, bloodstained laboratories beneath the prison, he
will be made into a monster. As the warden pumps something evil
into his veins--a sinisterly dark nectar--Alex becomes what he most
fears . . . a superhuman minion of Furnace. How can he escape when
the darkness is inside him? How can he lead the way to freedom if
he is lost to himself?
