En ce début de treizième millénaire, l'Empire n'a jamais été aussi puissant, aussi étendu à travers toute la galaxie. C'est dans sa capitale, Trantor, que l'éminent savant Hari Seldon invente la psychohistoire, une science nouvelle permettant de prédire l'avenir. Grâce à elle, Seldon prévoit l'effondrement de l'Empire d'ici cinq siècles, suivi d'une ère de ténèbres de trente mille ans. Réduire cette période à mille ans est peut-être possible, à condition de mener à terme son projet : la Fondation.

She was everything he had aspired to create within a Program. Emile was his prized possession, and he wasn’t going to let her go. Not without a fight, and certainly not without causalities. She was everything to him. And I was his ticket to getting her back.

The Invisible Man is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells. Originally serialized in Pearson's Weekly in 1897, it was published as a novel the same year. The Invisible Man of the title is Griffin, a scientist who has devoted himself to research into optics and invents a way to change a body's refractive index to that of air so that it neither absorbs nor reflects light and thus becomes invisible. He successfully carries out this procedure on himself, but fails in his attempt to reverse it. An enthusiast of random and irresponsible violence, Griffin has become an iconic character in horror fiction.

The day that changed Melody's life was like any other over the previous two years. She'd found she had a gift for writing, and her career as an author had almost healed the pain of losing her job. When the Secret Service rang her bell, everything changed. Something was nearing Saturn…and it was slowing down. Had she been right about the object?

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.

On an oil rig deep in a Louisiana lake, paleontologist Henrietta Ballantine makes a chilling discovery: something impossibly alive in the drilling mud – something ancient, tiny, and unknown to modern science. With the help of fellow paleontologist Beau and Louisiana Fish and Wildlife biologist Armand, Henrietta races to identify the bizarre organisms. In captivity, the creatures grow at an alarming rate – sprouting claws, stingers, and deadly aggression. Worse, they’ve already escaped into the wild. Could these monsters be living fossils, long dormant within subterranean salt beds?

Als der Physiker Lukas Heuer am LIGO eine merkwürdige Gravitationswellenanomalie entdeckt, hält er sie zuerst für einen Messfehler. Doch Messdaten deuten auf extrem massereiche Objekte hin, die sich der Erde nähern und dabei eine gravitative Schneise durch das Sonnensystem ziehen. Sollte er recht haben, blieben der Menschheit nur wenige Wochen, um den Untergang abzuwenden. Gleichzeitig macht die Archäologin Mira Najafi zur selben Zeit eine ganz andere Entdeckung: Sie findet einen bislang unbekannten Raum in der großen Pyramide von Gizeh, der voller düsterer Prophezeiungen steckt.

At the heart of a black star, humanity faces the cost of its own defiance. As inescapable forces stir beyond the edge of known space, Aion Tyros is drawn back to Anchor-1, a black star bound in light, long believed to be a doorway to the far reaches of the universe. What begins as observation becomes confrontation when reality itself starts to fracture around it.

When encrypted signals from the outer system breach Earth’s defenses, Commander Selene Tyros is dispatched to Europa to confront Talos, the final sentinel of a forgotten security network. For seven centuries it listened. Now it speaks, invoking trials, braided probabilities, and remnants of the Moirai once severed from humanity’s fate.

The reckoning has begun, and the universe will not look away. Five years after the fall of Talos, humanity dares to believe it has escaped judgment. It hasn’t. When a forbidden signal echoes through the lattice of reality, the Furies answer the call, ancient adjudicators inspired by Greek myth, arriving not in anger, but to close a ledger long left open.

Am 1. Februar 2130 dringt ein unbekanntes Objekt von der Größe des Mondes ins Sonnensystem ein und bewegt sich mit immenser Geschwindigkeit in Richtung Erde. Eine apokalyptische Kollision scheint unausweichlich. Doch dann ändert das Objekt plötzlich seinen Kurs, umfliegt die Sonne und kommt auf dem Rückweg zwischen Erde und Mars zum Stillstand. Während Astrophysiker noch über das Versagen sämtlicher Frühwarnsysteme und die Gründe für das unerklärliche Verhalten des Objekts streiten, ist der NASA-Spezialist Dr.

Armed with a warning of a future Atlantis drowning in its own ruins, Robert Shaw, Kira Shelton, and Matt Jones return to the ancient past carrying a device that can shield civilization itself. But Kairos Daedalus is waiting—scarred, vengeful, and no longer entirely human in his ambitions. Behind him stand the Draconians: a species that has played the long game across galaxies and millennia. As old allies become fugitives, new enemies rear their lethal heads, and deceit becomes the rule, the trio from the future is devastated to learn the truth: the stakes have elevated beyond belief.

The Formless have been thwarted for now, but a message may have escaped a mining scout ship before it was destroyed. With the threat of an incoming Formless fleet, Ryan begs his old boss to act. Instead, he discovers Solus is a prisoner, their only starship seized by the government. Ryan's training taught him to never leave a man behind, and he isn't about to start now. The Formless are coming, and only the Faction can help Earth survive their second attack.

A space elevator, though first used by a world leader for power against citizens, becomes the mechanism to solve the Earth’s major problems and to unlock outer space when ownership is transferred to a global group of justice-minded volunteers.

Hauptkommandant Carter Rose lag immer einen Schritt hinter den Aterniern, aber jetzt ist es an der Zeit, den Kampf zu seinem Feind zu bringen. Für seinen Plan muss er den Drahtzieher des Breitschwert-Offiziersprogramms finden—einen Mann, den man seit fast einem Jahrhundert nicht mehr gesehen hat. Dann erhält Rose aus heiterem Himmel eine Nachricht von Brodie Kaur, seinem ehemaligen Waffenmeister und einem augmentierten Soldaten, den er im bevorstehenden Kampf gut gebrauchen kann. Das Problem ist nur, dass er eigentlich tot sein sollte.

Nach der Operation Serpent muss Master Commander Carina Larsen die Konsequenzen ihres Handelns tragen. Vom Dienst entbunden und von der Breitschwert Ascalon und ihrer Besatzung getrennt, wartet sie auf ihr Schicksal, als die Katastrophe hereinbricht. Der hinterhältige Plan des Schlangengottes Apophis geht auf und die verbleibenden Planeten der Union werden in Chaos und Verwirrung gestürzt. Carina ist gezwungen, eine waghalsige Flucht zu unternehmen und einen Weg zu finden, sich Generalmajor Carter Rose und der Fraktion der Alten Aternier anzuschließen.

Nel 2034, una mummia di cinquemila anni riemerge da un ghiacciaio in scioglimento sulle Dolomiti. Sul petto, un particolare sconcertante: un terzo occhio che si muove. Un organismo alieno o una tecnologia sconosciuta? L'occhio sfugge a qualsiasi analisi scientifica: l'unica pista è un film del 1986, in cui occhi d'argento incredibilmente simili a quello della mummia si moltiplicano come una pestilenza. Ma il regista, Mic Vitali, è scomparso dalla scena da decenni. Possibile che avesse intuito una verità che resta inafferrabile per la scienza?
