Космоопера 95 Книги

Ранее не издававшаяся на русском языке повесть Эдмонда Гамильтона. Повесть впервые опубликована в журнале "Startlind stories" в мае 1950 года. Название произведения в оригинале "Children of the Sun". В поисках друга, затерянного внутри Вулкана, Капитан Фьючер сталкивается с наиболее коварными опасностями, которые он когда-либо встречал раньше во всей своей галактической карьере! Именно эту повесть повсеместно путают с рассказом Гамильтона "Sunfire!", который был переведен на русский язык и опубликован в журнале "Техника-Молодежи" в 1984 году под названием "Дети Солнца", хотя фактически назывался "Солнечный огонь".

Далёкое будущее. За миллионы лет человечество освоило всю Вселенную и, кажется, ничто не может противостоять могуществу человеческого разума. Но на этот раз неотвратимая угроза приходит из-за границ пространственно-временного континуума.

На маленький американский городок с секретной ядерной лабораторией сбрасывают многомегатонную атомную бомбу. В результате взрыва весь городок вместе с его жителями перемещается в далекое будущее умирающей Земли…

Жившие в период Первой Звездной Империи люди могли творить чудеса. Грех погубил их, обрушив на них войны Междуцарствия и разбив вдребезги результаты их великих свершений.

Новый роман Ольги Чигиринской «Мятежный дом» — долгожданный сиквел космооперы «Сердце меча» — продолжение истории об экипаже и пассажирах «Паломника».

In this new military sci-fi thriller from the Nebula Award–winning author of Cold Welcome, admiral Kylara Vatta is back—with a vengeance. Ky beats sabotage, betrayal, and the unforgiving elements to lead a ragtag group of crash survivors to safety on a remote arctic island. And she cheats death after uncovering secrets someone is hell-bent on protecting. But the worst is far from over when Ky discovers the headquarters of a vast conspiracy against her family and the heart of the planet’s government itself. With their base of operations breached, the plotters have no choice but to gamble everything on an audacious throw of the dice. Even still, the odds are stacked against Ky. When her official report on the crash and its aftermath goes missing—along with the men and women she rescued—Ky realizes that her mysterious enemies are more powerful and dangerous than she imagined. Now, targeted by faceless assassins, Ky and her family—along with her fiancé, Rafe—must battle to reclaim the upper hand and unmask the lethal cabal closing in on them with murderous intent.

The latest installment in the adventures of Miles Vorkosigan.

Miles and Cousin Ivan travel to Cetaganda to play the part of sprigs of nobility doing their diplomatic duty. But when the Empress of Cetaganda dies naturally, and her lifelong attendant dies unnaturally, Miles and Ivan finds themselves in the thick of it.

At Sol, Adrian Farkas – Lord Sentinel of the Empire, prepares the defenses for the inevitable attack by the Legions of the Shara Daim – the third race created by the human and Nel ancestor Axull Darr. The Shara Daim come for the device left by their common ancestor, intent on claiming it for themselves, their Elders planning to use it to fulfill their goal of ruling the galaxy. But Adrian has plans of his own.

But even as the Shara Daim Legions assemble for their invasion of Sol, Adrian and the Empire’s fleets move to fulfill a promise made long ago to the race that had enslaved and destroyed Earth – the Ra’a’zani.

Anessa, Dai Sha of the Shara Daim, finds herself a prisoner for the first time in her life, her only hope of seeing her people again a promise made by her captor – Lord Sentinel of the Empire. But imprisonment holds even greater dangers, as her captor’s ideologies clash with her own beliefs.

But as the Shara Daim and the Empire prepare to go to war, another player schemes in the shadows. The Erasi have their own plans for the Shara Daim, and the Empire just became a part of them.

The Empire is faced with a war that could signal its fall, and Adrian is the only thing standing between his people and two empires set on pushing their own interests. The only chance he has of stopping the war that the Empire can’t win, is to change the mind of his prisoner – Dai Sha Anessa.

К мирной планете Филлине, напоминающей Землю 60-х годов ХХ века, подходят корабли Военного космофлота Звездной Империи. Очередная "космическая опера"? Не торопитесь… Многие вещи на самом деле совсем не такие, какими выглядят на первый взгляд. В центре этого повествования будут не сражения (хотя, конечно, без них не обойдется), а политика, экономика и, в первую очередь, судьбы людей, оказавшихся в центре грандиозных и грозных событий.

The Federation has endured for hundreds of years, but as corruption and decadence wear away the core of human unity, rogue admirals rise in rebellion. As the Federation struggles for survival, two officers, an old Admiral and a newly-minted Lieutenant, may be all that stands between the Federation and destruction.

Нелегкие испытания выпали на долю героев этой книги, однако им никак, никак нельзя сдаваться. Они должны искать свой путь, преодолевать трудности и побеждать, ибо у них нет иного выхода. Им досталось тяжелое, страшное, кровавое время, но это их время и, значит, для них оно – ВРЕМЯ ЖИТЬ!

The Empire — a tyranny stretching over thousands of worlds. The grand dreams of the founders are a joke. The Thousand Families, the rulers of the Empire, care nothing for anything, save their own power. From the undercity of Earth to the new colonies at the Rim, discontent, anger and rebellion seethe, but there is no hope of breaking the power of the Empire and freeing the trillions of enslaved humans and aliens.

The Rebel — Commander Colin Walker believed in the Empire, until a treacherous superior officer betrayed him, forcing him to see the true nature of the force he served and his compliancy in terrible crimes. Now, Colin has a plan; he and his followers in the Imperial Navy will seize their ships and rebel against the Thousand Families, uniting the thousands of rebel factions under his leadership. Their war will set the galaxy on fire…

Victory against the Sowir at the battle for Nuva gave Olympus and their new allies time to fortify their positions. Meanwhile Olympus stretches its already limited resources on a mission to aid their home planet – Earth, which had been enslaved by an alien race called Ra’a’zani.

On Earth, resistance prepares to retake their world, daring to reveal themselves for the first time in years. Risking everything for the chance to liberate their world.

Adrian Farkas and Retsar Isani – commander of a Nel flotilla – travel to Nelus, the Nel home world. Hoping to convince the Nel government that an alliance is their only hope of them winning the war with the Sowir Dominion.

Роман «короля космической оперы» из цикла о приключениях галактического защитника справедливости Капитана Футура.

Earth is not alone. There is a towering civilisation out in the galaxy, far greater than anything we can imagine. But we are isolated from the galaxy… until now.

When a bunch of interstellar scavengers approach Earth, intending to abduct a few dozen humans and sell them into slavery in the darkest, they make the mistake of picking on Steve Stuart and his friends, ex-military veterans all. Unprepared for humans who can actually fight, unaware of the true capabilities of their stolen starships, the scavengers rapidly lose control of the ship — and their lives.

To Steve, the captured starship represents a great opportunity, one to establish a new civilisation away from Earth and its increasingly oppressive bureaucracy. But with the aliens plotting their revenge and human factions suspicious of the new technology, it will be far from easy to create a whole new world…

The French Foreign Legion is one of the most feared combat units of the 22nd century. Taking the rogues, thieves and misfits of Earth and the colonized worlds, and forging them into an elite fighting force through harsh discipline and regimental pride.

The backwater French mining colony of New Strasbourg lies dozens of light-years from Earth. A remote world where third-rate bureaucrats lead an easy life while the miners struggle and die to make aristocrats rich back home.

Until the colonists rebel in a brutal insurgency, and fight the local militia to a standstill.

Now it’s twenty-year-old Logan McCoy’s first combat posting as a reluctant volunteer for the Legion. A posting where anyone could be an enemy, and even the planet is trying to kill them.

Growing up an orphan in the Milky Way hasn’t been easy, especially as a teenage girl in the Naval Academy. Unfortunately for Molly Fyde, things are about to get worse.

Just as she’s finding her place amongst the boys, her unfair expulsion from the Academy takes away the only two things that truly matter: flying in space and her training partner, Cole.

Sent off to a normal school, she feels destined for a dull, unspectacular future.

Then, a marvelous discovery changes everything: Her father’s old starship, missing for a decade, turns up halfway across the galaxy. Its retrieval launches Molly and Cole on the adventure of a lifetime, one that will have lasting consequences for themselves and billions of others. What starts off as a simple quest to reconnect with her past, ends up forging a new future. And the forgotten family she hoped to uncover is replaced by a new one she never foresaw: a band of alien misfits and runaways—the crew of the starship .

В нашем журнале выступает впервые. Повесть «Срубить Крест» публикуется в журнальном варианте.

A volume of visions of future wars, fought with weapons out of nightmare, by today’s top writers of military science fiction, as well as some writers who are not usually associated with military SF, such as best-selling writer Gregory Benford, and award-winning author Kristine Katherine Rusch. Also present are Michael Z. Williamson, author of the strong selling novels “Freehold” and “The Weapon”, award-winning author of “Bolo Strike”, William H. Keith, and more.

Through the centuries, weapons have changed radically, but the soldier has remained much the same. But in the future, soldiers, too, may undergo radical changes. As editor Joe Haldeman puts it, “Weapons are an extension of the soldier, and also an extension of the culture or species that produced the soldier. And they are sometimes more dangerous to the soldier than the enemy…”

It’s been ten years since Molly last set foot on her birth planet, and this isn’t how she’d imagined her homecoming. The sky is full of an invading fleet, one powerful enough to threaten the entire galaxy. The new family she has come to rely on—her crew of alien misfits and runaways—are scattered in three directions. As they struggle to reunite, events beyond their control seem to be driving more than just them apart: the universe itself may be torn asunder if the bond between these unlikely heroes is broken.
