Advances in photonics and nanotechnology have the potential to revolutionize humanity's ability to communicate and compute. To pursue these advances, it is mandatory to understand and properly model interactions of light with materials such as silicon and gold at the nanoscale, i.e., the span of a few tens of atoms laid side by side. These interactions are governed by the fundamental Maxwell's equations of classical electrodynamics, supplemented by quantum electrodynamics. This book presents the current state-of-the-art in formulating and implementing computational models of these interactions. Maxwell's equations are solved using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique, pioneered by the senior editor, whose prior Artech House books in this area are among the top ten most-cited in the history of engineering. This cutting-edge resource helps readers understand the latest developments in computational modeling of nanoscale optical microscopy and microchip lithography, as well as nanoscale plasmonics and biophotonics.

The story from the alternate future continues …. Clandestine events on Earth unfold in the not-too-distant past. Dissatisfaction with The System had resulted in a group of disgruntled specialists successfully executing a well-planned exodus to resettle off-world, joining and furthering the cause of a hidden and more technologically advanced community of “independents” only referred to as the “Traders” by those very, very few in the know. Back in the moment, picking up from where Book Two, “Journey’s End” left off - The War erupts on a System-wide scale, with massive Fighting Vessels from both sides joining in Battle. Taking an early hit, the UNE scrambles to recover to prevent further crushing defeat. An early MAC win has galvanized the faction’s confidence for a crushing victory over the UNE… but will over-confidence creep in? Meanwhile, the Malayan Rangers are engulfed in a large Ground Action on Hygeia, being far larger than they had anticipated. The success of their mission to rescue the package and deliver it safely is no longer guaranteed, with the Hygeia Action becoming another key focal point in the newly ignited War. While the Tigris continues to “fly blind” as a result of its prior encounter, tensions among the crew begin to surface, as key members become intrinsically linked from exposure to the Sentinel. The unveiling of the on-going mystery of the Sentinel proceeds on Lunar, with different players from within the UNE arriving to play their part. Past grudges and with former colleagues may need to be cast aside to progress forward, as it is evident - that whatever the outcome, it will have a significant impact on the other seemingly disparate stories currently unfolding. War between civilizations rage on. New allies are discovered, and partnerships are forged. Other players appear from the shadows. The Sentinel is more out of reach than anyone had anticipated. The future of Humanity remains unclear.

In the year 2250, the world is in chaos as a rogue planet hurtles dangerously towards Earth, threatening to extinguish all life on the planet. With no other option but to flee, mankind turns to the Bertram Ramsay, a colossal space station designed to shelter nine million people and safeguard the future of humanity. Jaxon Leith, an ordinary inhabitant of Earth, finds himself chosen as one of the fortunate few to board the Bertram Ramsay. But his journey to salvation takes an unexpected turn when he is sent to Compression, a gruelling three-month internment camp where he must learn to adapt to the rigours of life and work in space. Lurking in the shadows are the Acolytes of Gaia, an enigmatic and formidable group of zealots that has surreptitiously infiltrated the highest echelons of governments and corporations worldwide. Their malevolent objective? To obliterate the Bertram Ramsay, dooming all living beings on Earth in the process. As Jaxon immerses himself in his training, he becomes unwittingly embroiled in a world of subterfuge, terrorism, espionage, and murder. The Acolytes of Gaia are determined to dismantle the last hope of humanity, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their twisted goals. In a high-stakes race against time, Jaxon must navigate through a treacherous web of deception and confront a ruthless, invisible adversary. As he delves deeper into the secrets and machinations of the Acolytes, Jaxon discovers shocking truths about the zealots’ origins and the sinister motives that drive them. With the fate of humankind hanging in the balance, he must summon all his courage, intelligence, and resilience to stand against an enemy that seems one step ahead at every turn. In "Rogue," author Danny Lenihan weaves a gripping tale of survival, sacrifice, and the indomitable spirit of humanity. Will Jaxon unravel the mysteries that threaten to destroy the last vestiges of hope, or will the malevolent Acolytes of Gaia succeed in plunging Earth into eternal darkness? The countdown has begun, and the fate of mankind rests in the hands of one unlikely hero.
