Thirty years in the future, the autocratic president of the new United States, George Tower II, invades the breakaway Republic of American States to reunify the nation and move one step closer to world domination.

General William Story, a US defector, leads the ROAS Army of Defense as it battles against Tower and the overwhelming military might of his government. The general knows that if Tower’s forces prevail, one of the last bastions of liberal democracy will cease to exist, and his life will be forfeit.

As the armies collide in Mesquite, Nevada, infantry squad leader Staff Sergeant Lisa McMichael and other front-line troops struggle for survival and supremacy on the battlefield. Unbeknownst to them, behind the scenes, advanced artificial intelligence controlled by the ROAS is the ultimate prize and might hold the key to victory.

Political and military leaders, common soldiers and citizens, all must make life-and-death decisions that extend beyond their moral boundaries. Tensions will rise as emergent technologies threaten to change the landscape of war itself.

In this clash of powers, who will win, and what will the future hold?

The brutal war of extinction enters a horrifying new round as the cyborgs arrive from the Neptune System, in this, the third book of the series.

The Highborn are remorselessly crushing the obsolete Homo sapiens. Gambling with humanity’s existence, Supreme Commander James Hawthorne attempts to lure the dreaded Doom Stars into a trap. Social Unity’s combined Battlefleet is the bait. The cyborgs are Hawthorne’s secret weapon.

Unfortunately, for Marten Kluge, a vast space battle threatens to take place around Mars. And that is exactly where he and Omi need to go to refuel their stolen shuttle. To reach the Jupiter System, they will need more than luck and Marten’s stubbornness.

Альтернатива на тему РЯВ с попаданством информации из будущего к адмиралу Андрею Андреевичу Вирениусу. ...Андрей Андреевич указывает, что война японцами запланирована на весну. Хотя мы, своими действиями, можем и спровоцировать их на более ранние выступление, уже в середине зимы. При этом он указывает, что развёртывание флота и войск начнётся на третий день, после принятия политического решения на войну. Одновременно с развёртыванием флота начнется захват наших торговых судов в портах Японии, Корее и находящихся в море. Особо внимание, Андрей Андреевич, обращает на обеспечение безопасности идущей из Одессы "Манчжурии", он указывает, что есть особая заинтересованность японцев в её грузе. А также на одноимённый пароход, что ремонтируется в Нагасаки. Ещё будут блокированы наши стационеры в портах Корее и Китая...

YOU SANK THE WRONG BATTLESHIPDuring a routine naval drill at Pearl Harbor, American forces detect a ship of unknown origins that’s crashed in the Pacific Ocean. Lieutenant Alex Hopper, an officer aboard the USS John Paul Jones, is ordered to investigate the ominous-looking vessel—which turns out to be part of an armada of ships that are stronger and faster than any on Earth. And that’s when the Navy’s radar goes down. Ambushed by a ravenous enemy they cannot see, a small U.S. fleet makes their last stand on the open ocean, armed with little more than their instincts, to defend their lives—and the world as we know it.

Главный герой фанфика Bioshock Infinite Цейтнот - обычный рабочий по имени Чандлер. У него есть девятилетняя дочь Лиза. Всю жизнь Чандлер провел в нищете и грязи, и поэтому больше всего на свете он желает, чтобы его дочь не повторила его судьбу. Для достижения мечты ему нужно накопить определенную сумму денег. Большую часть он уже собрал, осталось заработать всего сто десять монет. И вот ему удачно подворачивается одна работенка, за которую он может сразу заработать почти половину оставшихся денег. Чандлер с радостью берется за эту работу, не подозревая, что угодил в хитро расставленную ловушку и что всем его планам, мечтам и надеждам скоро придет конец... ОТ АВТОРА: В данном фанфике присутствуют и закрученный непонятный сюжет, который распутается и станет ясным только ближе к финалу; и обязательные постоянные галлюцинации у главного героя; и супер способности, которые дают человеку энергетики; и сражение главного героя один на один с практически неубиваемым Механиком... Для справки: те, кто играл в игру, конечно же, в курсе, кто такие Механики. Для тех, кто не играл, поясню: Механики - это самые сильные противники в игре, фактически боссы. Главный герой побывает во многих локациях из игры и конечно же повстречает некоторых ключевых персонажей. Например, отважную лидершу революционеров Дейзи Фицрой. История фанфика начинается незадолго до того, как в Колумбии вспыхивает пламя революции, и продолжается уже когда на улицах города идет кровопролитная гражданская война. Сюжет фанфика самобытен и почти не перекликается с сюжетом оригинальной игры.

Black Library Weekender Anthology — это двухтомный сборник рассказов, выпущенный исключительно к одноименному мероприятию, проводившемуся 3-го и 4-го ноября 2012 года. Представляем первый том, посвященный далекому мрачному будущему вселенной Warhammer 40000. В сборник вошли рассказы Джеймса Сваллоу, Джона Френча, Гэва Торпа, Сэнди Митчелла и других.

Synopsis:

Carl Marsalis is a traitor, a bringer of death, a genetic freak and an unwelcome reminder of all that is dark in the human psyche — he in every sense of the word a Black Man. And right at the moment he’s beyond the UN’s juristiction, banged up in a Florida jail for financing an illegal abortion. So when the US police call, Carl cuts a deal.

The 13s are genetically engineered alpha males, designed to fight the century’s last conflicts. But men bred and designed to fight are dangerous to have aroundin peacetime. Many of them have left for Mars, but one has returned. Somehow he survived the journey to Earth, and now a series of brutal slayings has erupted across America. Only Carl can stop him.

And so begins a frenetic man hunt and a battle for survival. And a search for the truth about what was really done with the world’s last soldiers.

Author’s Notes:

“An accidentally lengthy meditation on elements of the human condition that the Kovacs books always had the capacity to sidestep — namely, the prison of our own flesh, and the inevitable doom of our own mortality. A future of genetic science out of control, geo-politics out of joint, and fresh colonial and racist aspirations for the whole human race.

“It took me two years to pull all this material together (or, some might say, apart) — check it out, see if it’s been worth it.”

From the Hardcover edition:

The future isn’t what it used to be since Richard K. Morgan arrived on the scene. He unleashed Takeshi Kovacs—private eye, soldier of fortune, and all-purpose antihero—into the body-swapping, hard-boiled, urban jungle of tomorrow in Altered Carbon, Broken Angels, and Woken Furies, winning the Philip K. Dick Award in the process. In Market Forces, he launched corporate gladiator Chris Faulkner into the brave new business of war-for-profit. Now, in Thirteen, Morgan radically reshapes and recharges science fiction yet again, with a new and unforgettable hero in Carl Marsalis: hybrid, hired gun, and a man without a country…or a planet.

Marsalis is one of a new breed. Literally. Genetically engineered by the U.S. government to embody the naked aggression and primal survival skills that centuries of civilization have erased from humankind, Thirteens were intended to be the ultimate military fighting force. The project was scuttled, however, when a fearful public branded the supersoldiers dangerous mutants, dooming the Thirteens to forced exile on Earth’s distant, desolate Mars colony. But Marsalis found a way to slip back—and into a lucrative living as a bounty hunter and hit man before a police sting landed him in prison—a fate worse than Mars, and much more dangerous.

Luckily, his “enhanced” life also seems to be a charmed one. A new chance at freedom beckons, courtesy of the government. All Marsalis has to do is use his superior skills to bring in another fugitive. But this one is no common criminal. He’s another Thirteen—one who’s already shanghaied a space shuttle, butchered its crew, and left a trail of bodies in his wake on a bloody cross-country spree. And like his pursuer, he was bred to fight to the death. Still, there’s no question Marsalis will take the job. Though it will draw him deep into violence, treachery, corruption, and painful confrontation with himself, anything is better than remaining a prisoner. The real question is: can he remain sane—and alive—long enough to succeed?
