His most ambitious novel to date, ACCELERANDO is a multi-generational saga following a brilliant clan of 21st-century posthumans. The year is some time between 2010 and 2015. The recession has ended, but populations are ageing and the rate of tech change is accelerating dizzyingly. Manfred makes his living from spreading ideas around, putting people in touch with one another and leaving a spray of technologies in his wake. He lives at the cutting edge of intelligence amplification technology, but even Manfred can take on too much. And when his pet robot cat picks up some interesting information from the SETI data, his world – and the world of his descendants – is turned on its head.

Elle en a fait du chemin, la flotte perdue, depuis la catastrophe qui s’est abattue sur elle dans le système mère des Mondes syndiqués et depuis que le capitaine Geary en a pris le commandement. La voici désormais à trois sauts du territoire de l’Alliance. Pour la première fois le bout du tunnel est en vue.

Mais, en même temps que le retour cesse d’être une chimère, la peur de tout perdre s’accroît. Car la flotte ramène avec elle la révélation de la menace extraterrestre et du danger que les portails de l’hypernet font courir à l’humanité. Et devant la nécessité de réagir vite et fermement se glisse la tentation du coup d’État militaire.

À l’issue de ce cinquième roman, la flotte sera revenue chez elle ou ne sera plus.

Messages from a far distant sun are received on Earth, causing chaos, as they are in English! A ship is sent twelve years to find the answers and find a secret so deadly it threatened all organic life everywhere.

The worst has happened: Fleet is tearing itself apart. Some of the mutineers see injustice in the unequal spread of the rejuvenation drugs that offer virtual immortality to the rich; others are simply thirsty for power, or for blood. The Loyalists, meanwhile, fight desperately to preserve the rule of law in Familias Regnant space.

Flandry, here a captain, undergoes a series of adventures: He is abducted by the Scothians, an alien race hoping to invade the Terran Empire; rescues the Emperor’s kidnapped granddaughter; meets Aycharaych, his nemesis in league with the Merseians; and investigates a previously unencountered alien race that has invaded the distant colonial world of Vixen.

Enemies and friends

Reeling from the shocking discovery of Rodney McKay's fate, Colonel Sheppard and his team retreat to Atlantis to regroup. With Rodney not only in the hands of the Wraith, but apparently working for them, Atlantis faces a new danger — their own man, turned against them.

While Zelenka and Colonel Carter work frantically to crack the security protocols McKay embedded in Atlantis's computer system, Ronan revisits his past and finds much is changing on Sateda. Meanwhile, Queen Death prepares to make use of her most valuable prisoner; with Rodney still unaware of his true identity, the fate of Atlantis hangs in the balance…

Fear to tread…

With their core directive restored, the Asurans have begun to attack the Wraith on multiple fronts. Under the command of Colonel Ellis, the Apollo is dispatched to observe the battlefront, but Ellis's orders not to intervene are quickly breached when an Ancient ship drops out of hyperspace.

Inside is Angelus, fleeing the destruction of a world he has spent millennia protecting from the Wraith. Charming and likable, Angelus quickly connects with each member of the Atlantis team in a unique way and, more than that, offers them a weapon that could put an end to their war with both the Wraith and the Asurans.

But all is not what it seems, and even Angelus is unaware of his true nature — a nature that threatens the very survival of Atlantis itself…

Astronaut Frank Borman is all alone on the moon. No ship. Nobody answering his radio calls.

His spacesuit is running out of air fast, yet he doesn’t know what he’s doing there.

Something is out there looming over him on the lunar surface. Something massive that doesn’t belong there.

Borman shouldn’t be there either — in just a few months Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin are due to touch down in the Sea of Tranquility.

This is no NASA mission. But who else has the technological capability?

Perhaps that sinister grouping of defence intelligence powerbrokers known as Bermuda, although Borman suspects this is a giant step too far even for them.

Which only leaves the Russians.

If that’s true, he must have an important job to do. A job that transcends Cold War politics and space age rivalry.

But everything about this is is wrong.

Why has he been abandoned? And why can’t he remember anything?

Apollo 8.1 is compulsive reading… strap yourself in.

Среди множества интересных авиационных конструкций, которые появились в период Второй мировой войны особое место занимает немецкий самолет с реактивными двигателями Ar-234. Первоначально спроектированный как разведывательная машина, он использовался как бомбардировщик, и даже планировался на роли ночного истребителя, штурмового самолета и даже носителя ракет … Он оказал значительное влияние на конструкции появившиеся в авиационных фирмах Соединенных Штатов, Великобритании, Франции, а также бывшего Советского Союза. За исключением образцов ракетной техники, реактивные самолеты разработанные в Третьем Рейхе были самым лакомым куском для союзников – реактивные Ar-234 и Ме-262 «Schwalbe» являлись наиболее разыскиваемым призом.

Aquele homem poderia destruir um sistema solar, de modo que foi psico-sondado e condenado a morrer como uma criança. Amparado por uma camponesa solitária, foi gentilmente reconduzido à sua condição de homem. Caçado por reis e espiões, em uma rede de intrigas interplanetárias, Rik luta contra sua própria mente entorpecida e seu inimigo secreto em uma corrida solitária contra o tempo. Asimov nos traz, assim, mais um romance de um futuro inevitável, em que a humanidade leva o drama histórico de seu berço — a Terra —, rumo às estrelas, nossa herança...

Oar is the last of her kind — a resident of the so-called "planet of no return," once the Admiralty’s dumping ground for undesirables and those who had become expendable. Oar’s transparent body is indestructible. Yet the mind it houses grows weary and will soon surrender to the catatonic torpor that has already claimed the others of her genetically altered human race. But Oar cannot sleep, not yet. There are powerful forces seeking her destruction for reasons unknown. There are old allies who need her assistance and a true history that must be revealed. There is much Oar must accomplish before the "apathetic hibernation" overcomes her, though time is decidedly her enemy. Together with her friend, Admiral Festina Ramos, she must find her final destiny… and in a vast and volatile universe, destiny is never a sure thing.

Die nicht allzu ferne Zukunft: Während die letzten Rohstoffe dahinschwinden, steht die Erde vor einer gigantischen Klimakatastrophe. Da fasst Dan Randolph, ein privater Raumfahrtunternehmer, einen so atemberaubenden wie riskanten Plan: Er schickt eine Expedition in den Asteroidengürtel des Sonnensystems, um die ungeheueren Ressourcen zwischen Mars und Jupiter für die Erde und ihre Bewohner zu erschließen und damit die Zukunft der Menschheit zu sichern. Doch er hat einen mächtigen Gegenspieler: Martin Humphries, Erbe des milliardenschweren Humphries Trust, dessen einziges Ziel es ist, sein Vermögen zu mehren und seine Macht auszubauen. Um Randolphs Raumfahrtunternehmen seinem Trust einzuverleiben, setzt er alles daran, dessen Expedition scheitern zu lassen …

Mit diesem Buch setzt Ben Bova die faszinierende Geschichte fort, die mit »Der Asteroidenkrieg« begann.

Dans la Galaxie, l’étoile MarcheArrêt représente une énigme : elle observe un cycle de deux cent cinquante ans, s’éteint pendant deux cent quinze puis se rallume pour trente-cinq ans. Son unique planète est habitée par des araignées intelligentes qui viennent d’inventer la radio.

Le système de MarcheArrêt n’a jamais été exploré. Et voilà que deux expéditions, attirées par les signaux radio, s’y installent. L’une a été montée par les Qeng Ho, un peuple marchand qui parcourt l’espace en achetant et vendant des informations technologiques. L’autre par une civilisation violente et sadique, dite des Émergents, qui a fait de la lutte pour le pouvoir son mode de vie. Son chef, Tomas Nau, cherche à se rendre maître de la planète des Araignées pour exploiter ses ressources. Il lui faut d’abord détruire la flotte Qeng Ho ou s’en emparer.

Mais parmi les Qeng Ho se cache une figure mythique, Pham Nuwen, né mille ans plus tôt, qui connaît tous les tours...

Au tréfonds du ciel a reçu, en l’an 2000, le prix Hugo, tout comme le roman précédent de cet auteur, Un feu sur l’abîme, publié dans la même collection, l’avait obtenu en 1993. Vernor Vinge décrit avec sa verve habituelle trois civilisations entièrement différentes sur fond galactique.
