From the outside, The Lyon’s Den doesn’t look like much; there isn’t even a sign. But Mercs of all species know that if you head to Southwest Houston, near the Starport, there’s a particular run-down strip mall that looks like it’s been abandoned for years. The glass door second from the south end of the strip is plastered over on the inside with blue paper, and the faint golden outline of a rampant lion is the only clue.

Austria's fate held major ramifications for postwar Europe and the entire free world, yet there is no complete account of the campaign written in English. Given the scale of the fighting and the scope of the consequences, this book fills a major gap in the literature of World War Two. On VE Day Army Group South listed 450,000 men still under arms in four armies. It was this massive force that made General Dwight Eisenhower change the entire focus of American ground operations to cut off Germans from retreating into the National Redoubt.

When Angriff awakened in a world where America no longer existed, he vowed to resurrect his beloved country.

And now, the forces arrayed against him have the power to crush freedom, once and for all.

In nearby Prescott, Arizona, a maniacal warlord proclaims himself the legitimate successor to the USA.

Telecoms networks have improved dramatically over the last 150 years. Initially developments were focused on delivering voice calls to homes and then to mobile phones, and then from the 1990s to enabling Internet connectivity. Data capabilities have improved from early 1.2kbit/s modems to networks that can deliver 1Gbits/s or more. And data usage per person has gone from a few Mbytes per month to hundreds of Gbytes – nearly a 1 million-fold increase. It is natural to think this progression will continue forever. But this is not so. Beyond around 10Mbits/s on mobile phones and around 50-...

Many countries have ambitious technology strategies to secure sovereignty or even world-leadership in areas such as 5G or AI, strategies that are ever-more important in an increasingly fractured world. Such countries often possess excellent research capabilities, powerful companies or strong political will. Yet recent history shows that these strategies rarely delivered global success. This book shows that success depends not on ambition or scientific excellence alone. It depends on whether structural foundations are in place at launch: governance authority, economic logic, and incentive ...

The telecoms industry is rushing towards a 6th generation that it expects to deploy by 2030. But the vision that manufacturers and researchers expound is one of “5G-on-steroids”, despite the fact that 5G has disappointed, not delivering any new services and has limited availability. This book, by the author of “The 5G Myth” and “The End of Telecoms History”, shows the deep flaws with such an approach and sets out an alternative, more in line with the views of the operators, that delivers always connected quality coverage at lower cost. It shows how this can be achieved through ...
