They were humanity's last hope.

They terraformed worlds and created colonies so that humans could live and thrive in physical environments.

Schicksalsmission jenseits der Grenzen der bekannten Galaxis! Der verheerende Bürgerkrieg ist vorbei - zumindest vorerst. Die alte Republik liegt in Schutt und Asche. Die Nachkriegsordnung hängt vor allem von einer Frage ab: Wer kann sich als erster überlegene außerirdische Technologie sichern? Denn die terranische Zivilisation ist nicht allein im Universum! Die außerirdische KI Caliban hat Captain Zadiya Ark und die Proxima um Hilfe bei einem verheerenden Konflikt in ihrem Heimatsystem gebeten.

Im 22. Jahrhundert hat die Menschheit Raumstationen in der Unendlichkeit errichtet und erforscht das Sonnensystem - bemüht, im Weltall das zerbrechliche Gleichgewicht aufrechtzuerhalten, das auf der Erde zwischen den zwei Machtblöcken existiert: der "Union" und den "Republiken". Mark Brandis ist Testpilot und fliegt im Dienste der neutralen Venus-Erde Gesellschaft für Astronautik, kurz VEGA. Immer wieder sieht er sich vor Gefahren gestellt, in denen er sich entscheiden muss: seinem Befehl zu gehorchen, oder seinem Gewissen - für sein eigenes Wohl oder für das, woran er glaubt.

Lynesse la quarta figlia è una giovane e impavida principessa con il dono di finire sempre in mezzo a qualche guaio. Quando però il regno viene attaccato da un demone, sa che l'unico modo per salvare il suo popolo è appellarsi al patto stipulato fra la sua famiglia e lo stregone Nyrgoth l'antico. Ma Nyrgoth non ha nulla di magico; è in realtà un antropologo terrestre inviato sul pianeta Sophos 4 per studiare la società postcoloniale di Lynesse e per raccogliere dati sulla storia e sulla cultura del posto, senza interagire con gli abitanti per nessun motivo.

Of course the noted Lady Astronaut Elma York would like to go, but there’s a lot riding on whoever the International Aerospace Coalition decides to send on this historic - but potentially very dangerous - mission. Could Elma really leave behind her husband and the chance to start a family to spend several years traveling to Mars?

As the leader of the moon's newest "dragon", Adriana has wrested control of the moon's helium-3 industry from the Mackenzie Metal Corporation and fought to earn her family's new status. Now, at the twilight of her life, Adriana finds her corporation, Corta Helio, surrounded by the many enemies she made during her meteoric rise. If the Corta family is to survive, Adriana's five children must defend their mother's empire from her many enemies - and each other.

She longs to know what it’s like to live among normal humans and experience simple biological pleasures like consuming alcohol, kissing a boy, and — most importantly — eating chocolate. But her mother, the infamous astroshaman leader Kyla Moonrazor, is determined to get her back, even if it means sending a bounty hunter after her.

It seemed the unthinkable had happened. Someone had actually targeted the Ghalian, an order of assassins known and feared across the systems. It was madness. Only a fool would go after the likes of them. But, it seemed, the galaxy had no shortage of fools. Retaliation most bloody was in order, and one man stood ready to spring into action. Hozark was his name, and he was no ordinary man. He was a Master Ghalian, an assassin skilled in the ways of death. Practical, mechanical, magical, to him it made no difference.

In 2205, the 19th Amendment has long been repealed and women are only valued for their utility. The Earth's economy depends on an insular group of linguists who "breed" women to be perfect interstellar translators until they are sent to the Barren House to await death. But instead, these women are slowly creating a language of their own to make resistance possible. Ignorant to this brewing revolution, Nazareth, a brilliant linguist, and Michaela, a servant, both seek emancipation in their own ways. But their personal rebellions risk exposing the secret language.
