Dr. Tyson Klein is a quantum physicist who has dedicated his entire life to his research. At CERN, he analyses data generated by the Large Hadron Collider, the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator. Now, Ty believes he's found a pattern in its output. It looks like an organised data stream, being broadcast over what he calls a quantum radio. Could it be a signal from another universe? A message sent from the future? Or something else entirely?

Quantum physicist Sam Anderson is trapped, 202 million years in the past. Sam has helped create a machine able to unpick the threads of spacetime, casting objects eternally into the past. It’s useful only as a permanent means of disposal—and in a world where criminals need to be punished, that’s exactly how it will be used. But Sam’s invention will become his undoing, the judicial penalty for a crime that he confessed to, but didn’t commit. It’s a death sentence.

In 1942, New Chicago was born. The goal was to build a new world that promised the American dream. Now, two years later, the city is a volatile mixture of high society and organized crime.

Publicada por primera vez en 1991 e inspirada en la guerra del Golfo Pérsico, esta novela plantea una pregunta urgente: ¿qué pasaría si existiera una alternativa real al petróleo? Augusto, un científico brillante pero incómodo para muchos, tiene una respuesta: el prototipo, un sistema revolucionario que no recurre ni a la energía solar ni a la nuclear, sino que extrae fuerza y calor directamente de la estructura íntima del espacio-tiempo, es decir, de la lattice.

An alien Entity had waited megaannum, millions of years, for sentience to emerge on a planet with an ecosystem vibrant enough to foster the evolution of complexity. Impervious to impatience, dispassionate, and deliberate, the Entity's patience was rewarded with a promising species—humans. When the time was right, the warning was given: "The tenure of sentience is ephemeral." The Entity had borne witness to the extinction of civilizations and their species, an outcome that must not be repeated. Not this time. Not with a species of such potential.

In 18-year-old Gaby's world, Ireland remains neutral, just as history records. But in 17-year-old Sabine's world, Germany has invaded Ireland, and she must survive on the run. Both sisters find refuge at the same remote Irish manor owned by distant relatives.

The American Civil War: Following the election of anti-slavery President-elect Abraham Lincoln, the Southern States of South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas have all officially left the United States of America. Lincoln follows up with the call for a 75,000-soldier army to be levied to invade the South and suppress the breakaway states. The move is quickly followed by Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Tennessee, which have not yet seceded, to join the Confederacy rather than supply troops to fight their Southern neighbors.

Romanzo di fantascienza e romanzo femminista, dopo cinquant'anni La female man ( The Female Man , 1975) non ha perso il suo contenuto provocatorio. «La fantascienza è connaturata al pensiero radicale» ha dichiarato l'autrice: «è molto efficace se si vogliono presentare le preoccupazioni di un gruppo marginale, perché queste si collocano in un mondo in cui le cose sono diverse». E niente è più diverso della "female man", un essere che incorpora le caratteristiche di entrambi i sessi, protagonista di questa storia che fin dal titolo appare come un monstrum linguistico.

Should a man wish to pen a story of The Leatherwood, where should he begin? When angels sang and glory flooded the land with righteous delight? When First Nation sojourners found a hidden realm? When the first settlers braved an impenetrable wilderness frontier? When those that followed picked up tattered threads of civilization? When the very land itself was divided for gain? I should be remiss to settle for such known methods of description. Since The Leatherwood is so far more! Being the launching grounds for intrepid warriors, it is home to so much beyond that which anyone should know.
