Duda sempre sonhou em ser uma grande heroína, mas fica difícil quando seu dom é contar mentiras. Nat, por sua vez, sempre consegue descobrir a verdade. Nenhuma das duas poderia estar mais infeliz, mas um encontro acidental num elevador quebrado pode mudar muita coisa.

Com a iminente fechadura da Fenda, uma motorista de ônibus apresenta a Unifenda e se lembra de tudo por que já passou. Como não tem a necessidade de dormir, ela já fez todos os horários e já transportou tudo quanto é coisa, até aluno praga!

Caminhadas noturnas podem ser comuns para alguém que não dorme, mas Luna encontra muito mais do que esperava na noite da Unifenda, e ainda que a Fenda tenha lhe dado o que vê como um poder inútil, vê nos novos amigos um novo sentido para tudo.

Perfeccionista, Téo já apresentou o TCC mil vezes, mas alguma coisa sempre dá errado – e lá vai ele voltar no tempo para tentar mais uma vez. Não é à toa que ele começa a ficar estressado, mas sempre dá para contar com um amigo.

Não é todo dia que alguém escreve "Diretas Já" na carteira da faculdade – mas também não é todo dia que isso leva a uma conversa.

É difícil ser normal quando a Unifenda assombra a cada canto, quando notícias do fechamento da Fenda trazem tudo de volta. É ainda mais difícil ser normal quando um acidente obriga a perceber que existem outras opções.

Vida de universitário não é fácil. E vida de universitário superpoderoso? Acredite se quiser, mas também pode ser bem complicada. A Fenda celeste da Ilha de Marajó mudou a realidade de todo o país, e a Unifenda foi criada às pressas para cumprir os deveres de toda universidade pública: ensinar, pesquisar e fazer o possível com o que tem à disposição. Os dons sobrenaturais que os alunos receberam do céu não tiram deles a necessidade de viver um dia de cada vez em histórias com emoção e brasilidade de sobra.

O fechamento da Fenda parece ter efeitos estranhos em Valentina, que agora anda dada a sumiços e esquecimentos. Quando Jussara decide seguir a avó para descobrir o que pode estar acontecendo, descobre o impensável: esperança.

Não é sempre que Cecília e Kamila conseguem aproveitar o tempo juntas, mas sempre tentam, principalmente quando têm acesso a um poder tão útil como o de Fred. É só quando o encontro se transforma em uma missão de salvamento que percebem o perigo de suas ações.

Júlio tem o dom de manipular a água, mas tem medo dela. Ainda por cima, tudo indica que a Unifenda está repleta de conspirações. O rapaz acaba em um impasse: confiar na melhor amiga ou em Iana Ferreira, a misteriosa líder de um grupo ascentista?

Lucas e Felipe têm uma relação conturbada, para dizer o mínimo. As coisas chegam a um patamar para lá de esquisito quando, entre notícias de jornal e misteriosas mensagens no Telegram, um precisa sequestrar o outro – mas ele jura que é por um bom motivo.

Thiago provavelmente ficaria mais contente com qualquer outro poder, menos aquele de deixar tudo preto e branco. Sente-se muito longe do sonho de ser um herói, mas às vezes só precisamos do apoio de alguém.

As much a history as it is a book of sci-fi tales, the third volume of sci-fi shorts by P. E. Rowe brings us deeper into the Post-Columnar Epoch. Each of these 15 stand-alone stories fits within a rich tapestry depicting a sector of the Milky Way that came to be known as the Battery Systems. For returning readers, places like Athos, Iophos, and Hellenia may be familiar, while new places like the Columns, Charris, and Exos have merely been hinted at before. Here, they are explored in depth through stories that reveal the peoples in them.

Science fiction is rare in theatrical form, but with Posing As People, three unforgettable sci-fi stories by Orson Scott Card are adapted into powerful stage plays by three different writers.

Alex and Lila have sailed off for trip number two to the salt mining station. Their secret relationship isn’t known to anyone but them. However, it may be put to the test when they realize that the water is far worse than it was on their last trip, and the possibility of the entire ocean dying is very real. It doesn’t help that Lila thinks he’s only going back to save his fortune, not humanity.

This volume contains ten stellar short stories by Clifford D. Simak. In "Grotto of the Dancing Deer," a man carrying an ancient secret finally speaks up, unable to bear any longer the loneliness he has experienced for millennia. In "Over the River," which Simak wrote in memory of his beloved grandmother Ellen, children from an embattled future are sent back for safekeeping to their ancestors in the peaceful past. And in "Day of Truce," the inhabitants of a suburban subdivision must barricade themselves against bands of roving attackers.
