Endlich hat es die NASA geschafft: Der erste Mensch hat soeben seinen Fuß auf die Oberfläche unseres Nachbarplaneten gesetzt. Doch die vier Astronauten der Mars-Expedition scheinen von unverschuldetem Unheil verfolgt: das Raumschiff einer privaten Organisation, das kurz nach ihnen eintrifft, havariert im Orbit. Nur sie können jetzt noch helfen und versuchen, zwanzig Leben zu retten. Dabei ahnen sie nichts von der unvorstellbaren Katastrophe, die sich hinter ihrem Rücken anbahnt - und die ihre Existenz grundlegend in Frage stellt.

Als 2024 der NASA-Satellit Sentinel I über dem Südpol des Mondes online geht, entdeckt er etwas Sonderbares: Eine Reflexion inmitten des Shackleton-Kraters, die es eigentlich gar nicht geben dürfte. Zudem empfängt die Radioantenne von derselben Stelle ein mysteriöses Signal, das einem komplexen Muster folgt. Die Aufregung bei NASA und Pentagon ist groß, da es nur eine Erklärung geben kann: Auf dem Mond liegt ein außerirdisches Artefakt tief in der ewigen Dunkelheit von Shackleton verborgen. Und es will gefunden werden.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Im unendlichen Nichts des Weltraums erwacht ein einsamer Astronaut aus der Kryostase. Etwas ist schiefgegangen. Er weiß weder wer, noch wo er ist. Erst nach und nach findet er heraus, dass er Teil einer ihm unbekannten Crew war, die mehrere Jahrhunderte lang geschlafen hat. Alle anderen sind tot, in ihren Stasistanks gestorben. Einzig ein beschädigter, aber freundlicher Roboter scheint sich mit ihm an Bord zu befinden. Das Raumschiff ist in einem schlechten Zustand und leidet unter merkwürdigen Fehlern: Türen, die sich öffnen und schließen, Lichter, die flackern.

On a cold spring night in 1952, a huge meteorite fell to earth and obliterated much of the East Coast of the US, including Washington, DC. The ensuing climate cataclysm will soon render the Earth inhospitable for humanity, as the last such meteorite did for the dinosaurs. This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated effort to colonize space and requires a much-larger share of humanity to take part in the process. Elma York’s drive to become the first lady astronaut is so strong that even the most dearly held conventions of society may not stand a chance against her.

Years after a meteorite strike obliterated Washington, DC—triggering an extinction-level global-warming event—Earth’s survivors have started an international effort to establish homes on space stations and the Moon. The next step–Mars. Elma York, the Lady Astronaut, lands on the Red Planet, optimistic about preparing for the first true wave of inhabitants. The mission objective is more than just building the infrastructure of a habitat–they are trying to preserve the many cultures and nuances of life on Earth without importing the hate. But from the moment she arrives, something is off.

Im packenden Nachfolger von Gestranded finden sich Angela und Vaughn, die letzten Überlebenden der Menschheit, in einer zeitverbiegenden Mission wieder, die darauf abzielt, nicht nur eine, sondern mehrere Erden im Multiversum zu retten. Der Feind – Necks, eine Rasse von intelligenten Robotern – dringt gnadenlos in parallele Erden ein und beraubt sie jeglichen Lebens.

Mary Robinette Kowal continues the grand sweep of alternate history begun in The Calculating Stars. The Fated Sky looks forward to 1961, when mankind is well established on the moon and looking forward to its next step: journeying to, and eventually colonizing, Mars. 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?

The Earth is coming to the boiling point as the climate disaster of the meteor strike becomes more and more clear, but the political situation is already overheated. Riots and sabotage plague the space program. The IAC's goal of getting as many people as possible off Earth before it becomes uninhabitable is being threatened.
