This was never just her story. In Ascension, the veil finally lifts. Governments fall silent. Truth goes public. And humanity faces a choice it has avoided for centuries. Millicent is no longer alone. The worlds are no longer separate. And the war is no longer hidden. This is not an ending wrapped in comfort. It’s a reckoning. A convergence. A final refusal to remain small. Some will call it awakening. Others will call it the end of everything they understand. Both would be right. Together, we rise.

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.

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.

Anyone can become someone out in the stars.

An interstellar object is hurtling toward Earth. It isn't natural. When astronomers detect a massive kinetic impactor on a collision course with Earth, the math is undeniable: the impact will be an extinction-level event. Humanity has eighteen months to stop it — or cease to exist. But stopping it requires something unprecedented. Earth and Mars — two civilizations separated by millions of miles and decades of distrust — must cooperate on a mission that pushes physics, engineering, and human endurance to their absolute limits. The science is unforgiving. The distances are real.

The Postponement is a restrained, high-concept science-fiction drama about a generation ship that finally reaches a viable planet—and discovers that arrival may be the most dangerous moment of the journey. After 143 years in transit, the ship confirms the existence of Threshold-1: a planet capable of sustaining human life. According to the charter, the population must vote—land and begin planetary settlement, or continue onward and remain a civilization in motion. The decision is binding. The consequences are irreversible.

Dans la collection Ristretto des Éditions Vivat, Boris Parmeland propose un voyage bref et saisissant au cœur de ce que l'art a de plus fugitif. Ephem'art capte le frisson d'un instant et interroge la trace de ce qui passe, avant de s'évanouir. En format concentré, à écouter d'une traite ou par petites touches, cette méditation sensible offre une parenthèse intense, où l'attention se fait regard, et le regard, émotion. Un écrin sonore qui donne envie de revenir, encore, à ce qui passe - et à ce qui reste.

You wake up. The world is still there. But something feels… off. Something has shut down. Not outside. Inside. It is not war. It is not artificial intelligence. It is you. Humanity—a system that no longer believes in itself. While we eat plastic food, stay silent in the face of injustice, drink bottled water, and whisper, “it will last for my time”—the system quietly scans us: who we are, what we have become…and whether there is still a chance. Deep beneath the surface, a code pulses. It does not punish. It analyzes. And when it sees the structure is broken—it restarts.

When Sol expanded into a red giant centuries too soon, Earth burned and civilization collapsed. The remnants of humanity fled outward, hollowing asteroids into massive generational starships—self-contained cities drifting between the stars. Destiny is one of them. Carrying twenty-five thousand souls toward Alpha Centauri, the city-ship has traveled peacefully through interstellar space for fifteen years… until the power begins to fail.
