L’inquisizione è tornata a colpire. Nell’anno del Signore 3131, la Chiesa, garante dell’immortalità fisica a tutti i suoi fedeli, ingaggia una crociata contro gli Ouster, indomiti mutanti di origine umana. E lancia nello spazio una spietata caccia a Aenea — la fanciulla ritenuta il nuovo messia — per carpire il segreto della sua forza misteriosa. Mentre Endymion è custodito nella cella della morte, la ribellione dei giusti sta per giungere al suo atto finale: tutto ruota intorno a Aenea, dotata di grandi poteri e portatrice di oscure verità… Dopo «Hyperion», «La caduta di Hyperion» ed «Endymion», Dan Simmons tocca con questo romanzo l’apice della forza visionaria e immaginativa. E conclude una delle più celebrate, irresistibili e sensazionali saghe fantascientifiche del nostro tempo.
The trilogy depicts an Earth-like world on a moon which orbits a gas giant, inhabited by a species of highly evolved, sentient Tyrannosaurs called Quintaglios, among various other creatures from the late cretaceous period, imported to this moon by aliens 65 million years prior to the story.
From Chapter One to Chapter 299, this ten-book series follows Grant Matson and others as they navigate through a partial collapse of society. Set in Washington State, this series depicts the conflicting worlds of preppers, those who don’t understand them, and those who fear and resent them.
For others, though, life is far from normal. Special Forces Ted returns with an offer that cannot be refused. In the blink of an eye, Grant Matson has another title he can add to father-of-the-year and prepper-in-chief: Lieutenant Grant Matson, Commander of the 17th Irregulars. Grant and the Team are whisked away to Marion Farm, where they will train civilians and be trained to become a special squad in a Special Forces guerrilla group. The slower, simple life at Pierce Point is about to disappear to make way for a community that is well-trained and battle-ready, posed to fight the Loyalist opposition. This cannot happen fast enough, though. Gangs are growing steadily and the government is becoming a bigger threat to freedom and the nation. Violence is turning into an everyday occurrence outside of Pierce Point and it is only a matter of time before the peaceful community will need to protect itself from external dangers. Grant feels the weight on his shoulders as he now needs to protect not just his family, but the entire community, and possibly, all of Washington State.

It’s the personal implications of first contact that Sawyer (Illegal Alien) dramatizes in his disturbing and uneven new novel. Set in Canada, circa 2017, the story focuses on Heather and her computer-scientist husband, Kyle, who have separated following the suicide of their daughter Mary. When younger daughter Rebecca confronts her parents and accuses her father of molesting her, the family starts to shake apart. Redemption comes in the unlikely form of alien altruism: the messages from Alpha Centauri that psychologist Heather has studied for years prove to be blueprints for a “psychospace” device that enables her to see into the overmind of humanity, and to know anyones deepest thoughts. In a flash, Kyle is exonerated, Rebecca apologizes, and her nasty, manipulative therapist is blamed for the false accusation. Although the novel ends with Heather greeting the first starship from Alpha Centauri, the bulk of the plot centers around the family’s own mystery, and so the conclusion comes off as anti-climactic. Sawyer also includes too many digressions about the cultural significance of Seinfeld, Star Trek bloopers and quantum physics, delivering a tale that ultimately works more as a study of the human heart than as believable story of alien encounter.

The third of the castle novels will take the reader ever deeper into a world of beauty and terror. A world led by an immortal emperor and the circle; his 50 immortal helpers. It is a world with an absentee god, a world that has been fighting a war against giant insects. A world like no other. There will be more insights into Jant, the emperors vain winged messenger, and the shift, the surreal other life Jant enters when he overdoses on his drug of choice and where he meets the dead in a land that defies logic. This is a fantasy series like no other – a literary fantasy with the verve and originality to stand alongside the best of Mervyn Peake, M. John Harrison and China Mieville.

Questo libro narra la storia dell’Uomo e del suo pianeta, la Terra, attraverso i secoli futuri, in una progressione abbagliante di visioni. indimenticabili e poetiche; è l’opera che moltissimi considerano il momento più intensamente poetico di tutta la storia della fantascienza. Con la sua quieta, serena filosofia, con la sua magica capacita di evocare situazioni e paesaggi allo stesso tempo grandiosi e a perfetta,’ misura umana, Simak ci descrive dapprima il graduale abbandono delle citta, per una più serena vita nelle campagne; e poi ci accompagna nella descrizione della lenta espansione verso gli spazi cosmici, ci mostra la comparsa dei Mutanti, enigmatici figli della razza umana che di umano conservano solo una spietata, folle ironia, ci descrive il lento passaggio dell’eredita umana ai Cani, fedeli compagni dell’Uomo per millenni, ci parla dei robot che l’uomo ha creato a propria: immagine, e degli alieni che popolano i suoi sogni cosmici. E, attraverso la rivelazione di un nuovo e totalmente inaspettato piano di, esistenza su Giove, il gigantesco pianeta che sarà il nuovo Paradiso… o il nuovo Nirvana?… per tutto il genere umano, Simak si proietta nel buio dei millenni, quando l’intera razza umana sarà ricordata con il nome di una sola famiglia, i Webster, e l’antica casa sulla collina sarà un tempio e un memoriale lentamente dimenticato. E su tutto questo grandioso affresco di figure indimenticabili, gigantesca, si staglia la figura del più grande personaggio creato da uno scrittore di fantascienza: Jenkins, il robot antico, che nei suoi circuiti elettronici si aggrappa disperatamente al ricordo dell’umanità desiderata e perduta.
Archaeologist Brandon Thackery and his rival Miles ‘Klicks’ Jordan fulfill a dinosaur lover’s dream with history’s first time-travel jaunt to the late Mesozoic. Hoping to solve the extinction mystery, they find Earth’s gravity is only half its 21 century value and dinosaurs that behave very strangely. Could the slimy blue creatures from Mars have something to do with both?
Fast-rising money manager Brent Lucas has no idea that the head of his new firm is a Christian fanatic or that his multi-million dollar job is a set-up until a billion dollars disappears from a client’s account—and until he ends up as the only suspect. Determined to clear himself, he goes to his client’s home where he finds only corpses. Narrowly escaping, Lucas runs from both the FBI and his would-be killers.

He discovers his politically unassailable boss has masterminded a plot aimed at bringing about Armageddon-with stolen missiles, depleted nuclear fuel and a band of Muslim terrorists intent on killing the President. As the FBI closes in, Lucas launches his own desperate attempt to stop the madness before it is too late.
