No longer is he Major Alexander Khan of the galactic-arm-ranging
Internal Movement Control; now he is Alexander Khan, criminal.
Banished to Prison Planet in 2442 by Earth Central Government-the
ECG-he has been dumped naked in a blizzard to die, a punishment
for, among other things, distribution of contraband technology,
conspiracy to destroy harmony, failure to condemn wrong views, and
failure to initiate positive statements.
Officially a secret, Prison Planet persists in whispers.
Earth-like, it harbors three million transportees, tech-suppression
satellites, and a surface that ECG hasn't checked in three hundred
years. Khan's survival skills and training kick in as he takes
advantage of the natural elements the planet provides. He must find
a way back to Earth to avenge his father's death; overturn the ECG;
and take down Nathan Fox, the ECG operative who ordered his
father's murder.
Khan meets the four groups that have developed on Prison Planet,
and help in attaining his goal comes from some unexpected sources.
He frees a fief's slaves from its lords, escapes Maneaters, and
transforms the world of the Techs on the journey to his ultimate
mission of bringing freedom to his people. Khan understands that
the price of failure is the death of those he loves.

Exiled commando Major Alexander Khan must save not only a selected
ten thousand from Earth's destruction at the hands of the alien
Kurg. He must save his adopted planet from domination by power-mad
Nathan Fox, dictator from Earth who allies himself with the
genetically engineered Kurg to gain power over the new planet. Khan
gets help from his half-alien daughter and the Nephilim, the
human-appearing alien race who created the Kurg-and who have
circulated undetected among humans for tens of thousands of years,
shaping our history. After the devastating conflict, the remnant
populations must learn to live together-ten million already on the
former prison planet, the ten thousand refugees from Earth, the
Nephilim, and the surviving but transformed Kurg-and form one
people.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below
