Hoping to upgrade their capabilities on a shoestring budget, Brainship Tia and her Brawn Alex accept a contract to test a prototype singularity drive from the military. There’s a catch, of course: the drive “might” occasionally commit a starship to “random” jumps. With some trepidation and the new drive installed, the pair resume their courier duties. The drive works flawlessly, at first. Just as they start to relax, the drive places them in orbit around a partially abandoned research site. Partially, because the corporation that set it up abandoned the researchers there.

Qu’avez-vous lu ? Le space opera est un terme forgé en 1931 par Wilson Tucker, utilisé alors dans un but péjoratif, qui fait référence à l’imaginaire populaire de la science-fiction. Le space opera est un sous-genre sans demi-mesure, manichéen et exagéré. Deux écoles le forment. La première est l’école d’Edgar Rice Burroughs, considéré comme le père du space-opera : tout relève de l’épique et de l’imagination débridée, l’aspect science est négligé au profit de l’aventure, le happy end est presque toujours présent, et c’est l’être humain qui doit montrer l’exemple et sauver l’humanité.

Even with the help of all the allies they’ve gathered on their journey, the trip to the pole will be incredibly dangerous.

When a slime-mold broker offers him a retirement-level payday to transport a "biological sample" to the edge of the Drift, Jax doesn’t ask questions. He just wants the credits.

Now, the UN ship Kia-Kaha has made arduous journey across the vast vacuum of space, carrying Humanity’s finest minds and most guarded secrets. Among them is Xenoarchaeologist Clio Cormack, a brilliant but impulsive scientist with a history of pushing boundaries.

For three hundred years, humanity’s greatest works of art have been on loan at the Greenwood Museum. It was finally time for them to come home...but the alien curators were disinclined to return them. Force was out of the question. Earth’s government was clear: they were not going to press the issue. So, all we had was guile and hubris to fuel our little intergalactic art heist.

In the far future, humanity thrives in space. But the human race is not alone. Some aliens are friendly while others are more hostile. Among them is one who possesses incredible power.

On Orion, the desert isn’t just terrain—it’s a system. Every few weeks, an event the colonists call the Eclipse rolls across the planet and turns certainty into static: sensors drift, maps lie, and the mind fills in gaps it cannot explain.

Następstwem oszałamiającego zwycięstwa – zwłaszcza gdy jest ono niespodziewane, całkowite i ostateczne – powinny być radosne celebracje, nudne przemówienia oficjeli i gratulacje ze strony polityków, a także zasłużony odpoczynek dla Wesołej Bandy Piratów. Jasne, w Galaktyce wciąż panuje bałagan, ale to nic nowego. Tym razem dla odmiany ktoś inny może zająć się jego sprzątaniem.

Gut 4000 Jahre in der Zukunft bildet die Erde das Zentrum eines Sternenreiches, das Tausende von Welten umfasst. Der ursprüngliche PHOENIX ist derzeit aber unter dem Kommando von Reginald Bull auf der Suche nach dem Mausbibber Gucky, den es mit dem Sternwürfel in weite Fernen verschlagen hat.

Jetzt, während der Imperator seine Söhne für einen Angriff auf Ullanor Primus versammelt, zieht der Herr der Ersten Legion stattdessen seine Truppen zu einer der entferntesten Regionen der bekannten Galaxis ab, um dort den Aufstand auf einer einzelnen Welt zu unterdrücken.
