Swarm Rising: Book 1

Product Information

Swarm is dedicated to creating a highly detailed survey of Earth's geomagnetic field and its temporal evolution as well as the electric field in the atmosphere, by using a satellite constellation that carries sophisticated magnetometers and other instruments.

This pertains to all the authors of the piece, their spouses or partners. Adi - Alien Digital Intelligence in the form of a girl - can bend the laws of physics and control digital data, but as a digital being she wants to know what it's like to be human. Which is where Danny comes in.

In 1974, scientists sent an interstellar message from Arecibo, Puerto Rico to a star system 25,000 light years away. It contained basic information about humanity and Earth.But what exactly is the ‘help’ the secretive Swarm is offering? Can Danny and his friend Jamila help Adi stop the Swarm Agents and give humanity a second chance? Major Timothy Nigel "Tim" Peake CMG (born 7 April 1972) is a British Army Air Corps officer, European Space Agency astronaut and a former International Space Station (ISS) crew member.

Swarm Rising - Tim Peake

For fans of Alex Rider, Young Bond and Cherub, this exciting action-adventure is the first children’s book f rom astronaut Tim Peake and bestselling author Steve Cole, and is based on space-age science and technology.The Electrical Field Instrument consists of two components: the Langmuir Probe (LP) and the Thermal Ion Imager (TII). The probes provide measurements of the electron density, electron temperature and spacecraft potential. The TII characterises the ion drift and velocity in high resolution to determine the electric field around Earth.

Analysis and modelling of Reynolds stresses in turbulent bubbly up-flows from direct numerical simulations. It is rare to find a middle grade sci-fi piece of this complexity though, and budding sci-fi fans will be fascinated by this. It reminds me of Prey by Michael Crichton, about hostile “humans” formed by a swarm of nano bots. 😮😮

We’ve never been able to venture out into space further than the Moon, a journey of about 3 days. We’re planning missions to Mars, a journey of around seven months. But with our current tech it would take over 6,000 years to reach the nearest neighbouring star. That’s a long time – even with decent in-flight entertainment. These FRBs are how ADI, short for Alien Digital Intelligence, invades Danny’s digital life through the thumb drive into Mum’s laptop, the wifi system and then into his phone. Imagine that? When Danny is kidnapped by a driverless taxi, and finds out his cousin has never heard of Adi, he finally realises something is very wrong. Author Steve Cole wrote Swarm Rising with astronaut Tim Peake about two teens who end up in space - but what's it really like up in the stars? Scale separation and dependence of entrainment bubble-size distribution in free-surface turbulence.This exhilarating futuristic adventure, the first in a trilogy, is a fast-paced, thrilling read, perfect for gamers and sci-fi fans. Exploring ideas such as quantum flux, impossible superpowers enabled by expanding the laws of probability beyond their limits and a host of other theoretical possibilities, this is a must for sci-fi fans. Danny Munday and his best friend Jamila, who lives next door, love gaming. Danny's parents are both into physics and astronomy but have separated because they couldn't stop fighting. Danny lives with his mother, who is so into her job that Danny doesn't get much attention, even if she's at home. The Accelerometer measures the satellite’s non-gravitational acceleration in its respective orbit. The instrument helps scientists to study factors that cause non-gravitational accelerations such as air drag, winds, Earth albedo, and direct solar radiation pressure on the spacecraft.

Bubble dynamics and bubble-induced agitation in the homogeneous bubble-swarm past a circular cylinder at small to moderate void fractions. Einstein –the spoilsport – proved that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, which is about 186,282 miles per second. A Modified Bubble Breakage and Coalescence Model Accounting the Effect of Bubble-Induced Turbulence for CFD-PBM Modelling of Bubble Column Bubbly Flows. In 1974, a message was sent into outer space. Its intention was to let any lifeforms out there know that they were not alone; that Earth was inhabited by humans and that those humans were very clever indeed. Nobody really expected the message to be heard. And they certainly didn’t expect aliens to come looking for us.

As Adi gets to know Danny, and learns to appreciate simple pleasures in life, the dataswarm decides that the best way to save this ravaged earth, is to “advance” all seven billion of the humans into a deep, dark, seething mass of data.
