Condition: New. From astronaut Tim Peake: Best friends Danny & Jamila are in trouble again. Jamila is giving off digital energy signals, and everyone s after her. The Swarm want to erase her. The scientists want to clone her. And a new alien enemy wants to use her to destr. Tim served as an army officer and a combat search and rescue instructor, and flew helicopter operations. Tim was selected as an ESA astronaut in May 2009 and after arduous training Tim was assigned to a mission to the International Space Station in May 2013. The science and business of space Explore the latest trends and opportunities associated with designing, building, launching and exploiting space-based technologies A ground-breaking human history of space by beloved British astronaut and bestselling author Tim Peake. Trying to save her, Danny himself needs help from Swarm (alien) agents. The story is full of twists and turns, cleverly orchestrated by Cole, and the action culminates in a trip to the International Space Station, where Peake is obviously very much at home. With the action and science both in the hands of experts, this is really good reading, but I like too the way that it reminds us throughout that the future of the planet and our species is in the hands of young readers, who the authors clearly see as smart, committed and ingenious as their protagonists.Artificial intelligence Explore the ways in which today’s world relies on AI, and ponder how this technology might shape the world of tomorrow LoveReading4Kids exists because books change lives, and buying books through LoveReading4Kids means you get to change the lives of future generations, with 25% of the cover price donated to schools in need.

Told through the fascinating 'diary' of the Universe itself, along with astronaut Tim Peake and a host of expert space STEM characters, this book takes… The books take place “five years from now”, when there’s 6G, self-driving taxis and delivery drones. The story begins in Swarm Rising when Danny’s mum – a researcher in radio astronomy at the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank in the UK – rushes home from work to analyse some unusual fast radio bursts (FRBs). Plugging in her data-filled USB device, she unwittingly releases an “alien digital intelligence” called Adi that gets into Danny’s devices, and (rather creepily) befriends him by claiming she’s a friend’s cousin.

Webinars Tune into online presentations that allow expert speakers to explain novel tools and applicationsThe first chapter of Swarm Rising is a prime example of this style. For instance, when Danny’s mum is talking about some previously detected signals, the conversation with Danny goes like this: “ ‘…the radio waves were being thrown out by a stellar remnant.’ ‘The last remains of a star, you mean?’ Yeah, you can call me a geek, but growing up with two astronomers means it’s hard to miss this stuff. ‘There are different types, aren’t there?’ ” It is however worth persevering through the information-heavy sections, and the authors are less prone to them in the second book . With the help of bestselling children’s author Steve Cole, these books are Peake’s first forays into fiction. Aimed at ages 8–11, they are written from the point of view of 14-year-old Danny Munday as he and his best friend, Jamila al-Sufi, try to save the world from aliens intent on conquering the human race. While this is a common sci-fi trope, the books are replete with science facts and sincere moral messaging – albeit with both often featured in quite a heavy-handed way.
