NASA’s space exploration division has long since been shut down after a few fatal and high-profile accidents, and private companies have stepped in to fill that niche. ![]() To boil the book down to its premise, The Last Astronaut is a story about an alien object that is on course to enter Earth’s atmosphere. I thought that The Last Astronaut would be such a book, and it was… to an extent. The kind where the characters have to rely on good, old-fashioned science and hack-job engineering to get out of a jam. I’ve a bit of a soft spot for hard sci-fi stories. Out of time and options, NASA turns to its last living astronaut – Commander Sally Jansen, who must lead a team of raw recruits on a mission to make First Contact.īut as the object reveals its secrets, Jansen and her crew find themselves in a desperate struggle for survival – against the cold vacuum of space, and something far, far worse. A huge alien object has entered the solar system and is now poised above the Earth. ![]() ![]() ![]() My first two years of college were spent at Columbia University in New York, but being… me, I transfered to the University of Colorado at Boulder, where I earned my degree in Theatre of all things. But once college came around, I continued the nomadic tradition. We actually stayed in one place for the duration of my high school career at Kickapoo High School (the alma mater of Brad Pitt–and, before you ask, no I didn’t know him… he’s twelve years older than me people!). Then we returned to Minneapolis for part of middle school, but moved to Springfield, Missouri halfway through. I spent the bulk of elementary school in San Diego and Sacramento, California.

Presently, an emcee appears, delivers his spiel about the bookstore chain that is organising the event, and reassures the gathering, “Ladies and gentlemen, we have the celebrity figure present right here.” A few minutes later, Bhagat, a boyish figure in jeans and a t-shirt, enters to an outburst of claps, cheers and camera flashes.Īccording to the programme, Bhagat is supposed to read from the book. ![]() Cut to Bhagat chiming in earnestly, “I am the poster boy of Indian middle-class success.” After about 20 minutes of this the screen goes blank, bringing hope to the restless audience. A screen loops TV clips of Bhagat: interspersed with upbeat stock music, a breathless voice informs us that after book sales in the millions over the past five years, Bhagat recently quit his ‘well-paid job’ as a banker. The chairs laid out by the bookstore are filled half an hour in advance and people file steadily into the space between racks. Some are young enough to be accompanied by parents others come straight from work, laptop cases slung over shoulders most seem to be college students. Publicity has been minimal-a single message on Twitter is responsible for most of the youngsters trooping in.

I dutifully read about twenty pages of Genesis and gave up. Maybe you’re not supposed to read the Bible chronologically, but I was a novel reader I read all books back to front. I kept a little notebook with me so I could write down my thoughts and questions, but I didn’t have any thoughts or questions. I’d wait until my two triplet sisters left our bedroom and pull out my Bible like reading it was somehow shameful. But I’d never actually read it outside Sunday school classrooms. Carrying the book to church on Christmas and Easter had always made me feel like a grownup I’d press its white-leather cover against my chest the way TV teenagers held their schoolbooks and run my fingertips against its soft, gold-edged pages during the sermon. When I was about eight or nine, I swore to God that I would read my entire Precious Moments Bible. ![]() ![]() In 2005, he, Strive Masiyiwa, Bradley Horwitz, and others formed Trilogy International Partners. įrom 2008 until 2013 he was director and then chairman of Clearwire Corp.
