Having risked their lives and souls to capture the fortress of Stormgard, a band of weary soldiers known as the Company witnesses their commander's descent into madness and await the reemergence of their ancient gods.

Like the creation myths they supersede, the revelations of science are seared into our collective imagination through storytelling. From Archimedes' bath to Newton's apple, vivid accounts of scientific discovery help us understand the principles behind each theory, and add to the larger narrative of how the universe works, and how we came to be here. This anthology draws out and distils science's love of narrative from a wide range of scientific disciplines, weaving theory into very human stories.

Samuel, sorvegliante di una vasca dove vengono allevate e nutrite le sirene destinate alla produzione della "carne di mare", si lascia tentare dal più pericoloso dei piaceri. Si unisce a una sirena femmina, sfuggendo a stento alla reazione istintiva di lei: divorare il maschio dopo il rapporto, come fanno le mantidi. Da quell'unione nasce Mia - mezza sirena e mezza umana - e da lei avrà, forse, origine una nuova specie cosciente.

“Arguta e spiritosa, la raccolta d’esordio di Hernandez allarga i confini della narrativa di speculazione.” Publishers Weekly "Carlos Hernandez tratta la scienza, la cultura e il genere con audace irriverenza. La guida cubana integrata alla santeria quantistica è un libro vorticoso, bizzarro e caleidoscopico, che regala sia allettanti “what if” che momenti di vero pathos."

In "Follia per sette clan" Dick si tramuta, in quanto scrittore di fantascienza, in psicologo/ psichiatra che utilizza la sua creatura letteraria come atto terapeutico sia per i suoi personaggi che per i lettori, organizzando un viaggio dentro le psicosi della mente, o meglio – grazie alla duttilità della fantascienza – su Alfa III L2, una luna ospitante i ‘lunatici’, vale a dire, non coloro colpiti da malattia provocata (come una volta si credeva) dal mutamento dei cicli lunari, bensì coloro che, diagnosticati ‘folli’ sulla terra, sono stati allontanati (allunati?) su un satellite remoto e isolato.

Nesta aventura, Verne constrói um submarino ultramoderno para a época (1866), o Náutilus. Nele, o capitão Nemo e sua tripulação cortam relações com a humanidade e partem para uma aventura marítima, já que para a sobrevivência precisam apenas da eletricidade obtida na imensidade do mar.

With a fragile peace established in the Enclave between humans and Chimeras, both species must learn to put aside their differences to ensure their continued survival. But racial tensions are simmering just beneath the surface, ready to explode. Meanwhile, Clayton and Samara’s daughter, Dora, might be the answer that everyone is looking for: her immunity to both strains of the Chimeran virus could soon lead to a cure, making it possible to establish new settlements beyond the Enclave.

Clayton Cross has been reunited with his family, and he’s joined forces with the remnants of Phoenix, a human resistance group from the Wastes outside of New Houston. But following a traitorous double-cross by their Chrona ally, Specter, most of the world’s remaining population has turned into the failed human-alien hybrids known as Dregs. The world is no longer divided into safe, civilized cities run by the Kyra, and even they have abandoned Earth, declaring it a quarantine zone to contain a deadly new version of their virus, engineered by the Chrona.

Captain Clayton Cross and his crew encountered the Kyra, an advanced race of avian carnivores. They fled this first encounter, but the Kyra beat them back to Earth by almost a century. Earth lost the war in just a few weeks. Our cities burned, and billions died. After we surrendered, the Kyra helped us to rebuild, but on their terms, confining us to city centers and building high walls to keep us in.
