Six friends, a psychotic dog and a transgender assassin set out to save humanity from itself. Their journey takes them to the most unimaginable times and places, exposing them to the best and worst of mankind — and themselves. A simple question at a dinner party stimulates a conversation that leaves everyone present knowing that their lives will be inexorably changed. However, none anticipate the extent or immediacy of the changes about to engulf their lives as the normal they know, defined so simply by Einstein’s elegant formula, is completely blown apart.

After their wedding--and the Ice Dame's high-handed exploitation of the event--Triana and O'Neill embark on their honeymoon, only to find they’ve been booked on a CelebVid cruise to Armstrong with Vanti, Elodie, and Leo. When the jump to Armstrong throws Triana and O'Neill into an alternate reality, they must outsmart the multi-verse versions of their friends, a lunatic professor and his corporate sponsor, and a cargo hold full of egg-throwing rodents, if they hope to return to their own lives.

Welcome to Veil City—a neon-soaked empire where the elite upload their minds to cheat death. For Grael, the cautious planner, and Pylen, the chaos-loving wildcard, life was simple: stay out of trouble. Then they accidentally send a priceless ceremonial chicken to the butcher. Now, with the city under lockdown and hunted by Imperial enforcers and the ruthless Black Feather Cartel, their only allies are a sarcastic hover rickshaw—and the smug, sacred chicken at the center of it all. But this is no ordinary bird.

Using stolen plans for an experimental weapon, a rogue faction has engineered a terrifying new missile and launched it into orbit. As the head of the deployed Special Forces Unit, it is Jay's responsibility to stop it from destroying another hospital. And Jay has the perfect plan.

With the help of a team from a nearby settlement, the rebuilding begins with a focus on safety. Their healer, Jessica, is as beautiful as she is tough. If we could convince her to stay in Hope that would be a huge advantage. More hands means less work, and soon we had a thriving garden and four livable homes. With some help, I began work on a waterwheel that could power our new settlement. Next step: getting the plumbing working again. Things were going well, and life was simple and satisfying when we focused on the basics.

Mr B. Clarke—a slightly haggard, ever-curious educator with a talent for falling asleep during lectures—never expected to become an explorer of algorithms. But one nap too many, and he finds himself dropped into the inner workings of artificial intelligence itself. From the whispering corridors of machine learning to the labyrinths of neural networks and the philosophical riddles of consciousness and code, Mr Clarke stumbles his way through an astonishing landscape of logic, language, and (sometimes) lunch.

Frage: Darf man den drittletzten Teil der absurden Daswarsdann-Trilogie hören, ohne den ersten oder die beiden viertletzten Teile zu kennen? Antwort: Hier ist vieles möglich. Vielleicht ist der drittletzte Teil Band 1 sogar amüsant. Er stellt eine Verbindung zwischen dem Vorangegangenen und dem Kommenden dar. Allzu ernst sollte man ihn nicht nehmen. Alle anderen Teile auch nicht. Frage: Wie viele Teile der ›Trilogie‹ sind geplant? Antwort: Von einem Plan kann natürlich keine Rede sein.

It all started as a milk run: a working vacation on New Arcadia, the neo-Victorian and Edwardian steampunk orbital, with cards and booze and filthy jokes aplenty. Then it became a bigger — but still low-stakes — job involving stolen Egyptian artifacts with a payday almost too good to be true. How it ended up, though, might have involved going to war with a bloodthirsty outlaw gang of neo-Nazi, neo-pagan, cybernetic, steampunk biker werewolves and trying to prevent the Viking apocalypse. Maybe with the help of half-alien Jesus, an ancient cat goddess, and a small army of berserker dwarves.

Henry's life has taken a turn for the weirder. His reality has been gamified—and the game’s architect seems to be a few stats short of a full character sheet. With his nephew's life hanging in the balance, Henry will face off against bosses, minions, and more, mined from his own memories, where D&D game dynamics, eighties-era action tropes, and vegetable phobias reign supreme.

Varg has already completed no few tests in order to consider himself an experienced survivor in this world of zombies. But will that actually be enough? After all, fate is no slacker, the system neither, and it is quite probable that these two capricious ladies have joined forces.

When Alan Ashe died and his surviving brain was implanted into a combat cyborg, he didn't think much about it. After all, he'd worked with cyborgs for years and knew how they operated. Sure, he'd have no memories of his past life, but what could he do about it . . . he was dead! But something wasn't right. Alan still had his memories—all of them—including those of his death. Not only that, but the way the techs were rebuilding him was . . . different.

Cal Carver's time is about to run out. He and his Space Team are broke. Forced to take low-paying gun-for-hire jobs just to keep the food replicator working, their prospects are not looking good. When they pick up a distress signal from a luxury space cruiser, they think their luck might be about to change. And it does. Sadly, not in the way they'd hoped. Someone has detonated a Time Bomb aboard the cruiser — an experimental device designed to shatter time itself.
