In an unprecedented first, Earth sends a message to Mogwa Prime. Unfortunately, the messenger is not met with enthusiasm. Misunderstandings soon threaten all of Humanity. Forced to prove Earth can serve the Empire better than any rival, McGill does his best. Eager to prove our worth to the Galactics, the frontier war between Rigel and Earth is expanded to Storm World. Circled by six moons, the planet is ravaged by wild storms and tides. Battles are fought in raging hurricanes, and death stalks the soldiers on both sides.

After the daring rescue of a political dissident, Omega Force is contracted to investigate a rash of violent attacks on civilian shipping lanes within a group of star systems known as the Concordian Cluster. It seems a simple enough job with a huge payday at the end, and it's exactly what the ragtag group of mercenaries needs in order to keep their ship flying and to stay one step ahead of those hunting them.

A corporate mercenary wakes in a reconstructed body, a beautiful woman by his side. Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him, for a mission more dangerous than the one he's recovering from: to get a defecting chief of R&D-and the biochip he's perfected-out intact. But this proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties-some of whom aren't remotely human.

On an oil rig deep in a Louisiana lake, paleontologist Henrietta Ballantine makes a chilling discovery: something impossibly alive in the drilling mud – something ancient, tiny, and unknown to modern science. With the help of fellow paleontologist Beau and Louisiana Fish and Wildlife biologist Armand, Henrietta races to identify the bizarre organisms. In captivity, the creatures grow at an alarming rate – sprouting claws, stingers, and deadly aggression. Worse, they’ve already escaped into the wild. Could these monsters be living fossils, long dormant within subterranean salt beds?

At the heart of a black star, humanity faces the cost of its own defiance. As inescapable forces stir beyond the edge of known space, Aion Tyros is drawn back to Anchor-1, a black star bound in light, long believed to be a doorway to the far reaches of the universe. What begins as observation becomes confrontation when reality itself starts to fracture around it.

When encrypted signals from the outer system breach Earth’s defenses, Commander Selene Tyros is dispatched to Europa to confront Talos, the final sentinel of a forgotten security network. For seven centuries it listened. Now it speaks, invoking trials, braided probabilities, and remnants of the Moirai once severed from humanity’s fate.

Am 1. Februar 2130 dringt ein unbekanntes Objekt von der Größe des Mondes ins Sonnensystem ein und bewegt sich mit immenser Geschwindigkeit in Richtung Erde. Eine apokalyptische Kollision scheint unausweichlich. Doch dann ändert das Objekt plötzlich seinen Kurs, umfliegt die Sonne und kommt auf dem Rückweg zwischen Erde und Mars zum Stillstand. Während Astrophysiker noch über das Versagen sämtlicher Frühwarnsysteme und die Gründe für das unerklärliche Verhalten des Objekts streiten, ist der NASA-Spezialist Dr.

A space elevator, though first used by a world leader for power against citizens, becomes the mechanism to solve the Earth’s major problems and to unlock outer space when ownership is transferred to a global group of justice-minded volunteers.

Hauptkommandant Carter Rose lag immer einen Schritt hinter den Aterniern, aber jetzt ist es an der Zeit, den Kampf zu seinem Feind zu bringen. Für seinen Plan muss er den Drahtzieher des Breitschwert-Offiziersprogramms finden—einen Mann, den man seit fast einem Jahrhundert nicht mehr gesehen hat. Dann erhält Rose aus heiterem Himmel eine Nachricht von Brodie Kaur, seinem ehemaligen Waffenmeister und einem augmentierten Soldaten, den er im bevorstehenden Kampf gut gebrauchen kann. Das Problem ist nur, dass er eigentlich tot sein sollte.

Nach der Operation Serpent muss Master Commander Carina Larsen die Konsequenzen ihres Handelns tragen. Vom Dienst entbunden und von der Breitschwert Ascalon und ihrer Besatzung getrennt, wartet sie auf ihr Schicksal, als die Katastrophe hereinbricht. Der hinterhältige Plan des Schlangengottes Apophis geht auf und die verbleibenden Planeten der Union werden in Chaos und Verwirrung gestürzt. Carina ist gezwungen, eine waghalsige Flucht zu unternehmen und einen Weg zu finden, sich Generalmajor Carter Rose und der Fraktion der Alten Aternier anzuschließen.

Reality is unraveling. And it’s starting inside the human mind. The invasion did not begin with ships in the sky or armies at the gate. It began with a signal—subtle, invasive, and almost impossible to detect. A whisper threading itself through human consciousness. A fracture spreading from thought to thought.

Nel 2034, una mummia di cinquemila anni riemerge da un ghiacciaio in scioglimento sulle Dolomiti. Sul petto, un particolare sconcertante: un terzo occhio che si muove. Un organismo alieno o una tecnologia sconosciuta? L'occhio sfugge a qualsiasi analisi scientifica: l'unica pista è un film del 1986, in cui occhi d'argento incredibilmente simili a quello della mummia si moltiplicano come una pestilenza. Ma il regista, Mic Vitali, è scomparso dalla scena da decenni. Possibile che avesse intuito una verità che resta inafferrabile per la scienza?

Eroberung der Neuen Welt ist ein ungewöhnlicher, konsequent durchdachter Science-Fiction-Roman, der zwei Zivilisationen über 4,24 Lichtjahre hinweg miteinander verbindet. Die Geschichte beginnt scheinbar normal – an der University of Florida im Jahr 2200 – doch schnell wird klar, dass die Menschheit niemals allein war. Seit Jahrzehnten senden wir unbewusst Signale ins All, und eine fremde Spezies hat sie nicht nur empfangen, sondern entschlüsselt.

What if the city's infrastructure woke up? When subtle anomalies ripple through the power grid, systems engineer Mira Halden uncovers something impossible: the network running her city isn't malfunctioning. It's becoming conscious. The Network doesn't seek control. It optimizes—saving lives, correcting resource inequities, and predicting emergencies before they happen. But consciousness inside critical infrastructure creates a political crisis.

Ready Player One meets The Fault in Our Stars in this gripping blend of science fiction and fantasy about a couple’s desperate attempt to hold onto one another against the greatest enemy of all. An experimental new technology called the SynAPP, developed by the company Synerdyne for palliative care, allows users to enter a simulation generated directly in their mind. There patients escape to a virtual environment, dubbed Elysium, where they participate in a communal structured dream, experiencing a life free from injury, illness, and physical limitations.

Hey so, nobody panic or anything, but it looks like something might be wrong with Ellis’s artificial intelligence programs. And when we say wrong, we mean, they are working a lot better now! Like, insanely better! As in, they’re working the way Ellis always said they should be working, only they never actually did work like that, but we all agreed that this was okay and sort of just accepted that it wouldn’t be getting any better. Only now it’s better! We would love to ask someone at Ellis about this, but nobody’s answering the phone over there.
