New Releases by Charles Soule

“POSSIBILITY,” Part Three As our team sails deeper into the chain of “possibility” islands, they discover a devastating secret!

Na Alta República, a organização absoluta dos Jedi é colocada à prova diante de uma catástrofe que extrapola sua capacidade de controle e pode custar bilhões de vidas. Serão eles capazes de reverter os danos resultantes desse desastre e garantir a sobrevivência dos cidadãos livres da galáxia? Muito antes da Primeira Ordem, do Império, das Guerras Clônicas, os Jedi iluminavam os caminhos da galáxia na Alta República. É uma era dourada. Intrépidos exploradores do hiperespaço expandem o alcance da República até as estrelas mais distantes, mundos florescem sob a liderança benevolente do Senado e a paz reina, assegurada pela sabedoria e pelo poder da renomada ordem de usuários da Força, conhecidos como Jedi. Os cidadãos livres da galáxia confiam na capacidade dos Jedi, que estão no auge de seu poder, de enfrentar qualquer tormenta. No entanto, mesmo a luz mais brilhante pode projetar uma sombra, e algumas tormentas desafiam qualquer preparação. Quando uma terrível catástrofe no hiperespaço despedaça uma nave, a enxurrada de estilhaços que emerge do desastre ameaça um sistema inteiro. Assim que recebem o pedido de ajuda, os Jedi se dirigem ao local. O tamanho da emergência, no entanto, basta para levá-los ao limite. Enquanto o céu se rompe e a destruição cai sobre a pacífica aliança que ajudaram a construir, os Jedi devem confiar na Força para atravessar um dia em que um único erro pode custar bilhões de vidas. Enquanto os Jedi enfrentam bravamente a calamidade, algo de fato mortal cresce além dos limites da República. O desastre do hiperespaço é muito mais sinistro do que os Jedi suspeitavam. Uma ameaça se esconde nas trevas, longe da luz dessa era, e guarda um segredo capaz de instilar medo até mesmo no coração de um Jedi.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Long before the First Order, before the Empire, before even The Phantom Menace . . . Jedi lit the way for the galaxy in The High Republic It is a golden age. Intrepid hyperspace scouts expand the reach of the Republic to the furthest stars, worlds flourish under the benevolent leadership of the Senate, and peace reigns, enforced by the wisdom and strength of the renowned order of Force users known as the Jedi. With the Jedi at the height of their power, the free citizens of the galaxy are confident in their ability to weather any storm But the even brightest light can cast a shadow, and some storms defy any preparation. When a shocking catastrophe in hyperspace tears a ship to pieces, the flurry of shrapnel emerging from the disaster threatens an entire system. No sooner does the call for help go out than the Jedi race to the scene. The scope of the emergence, however, is enough to push even Jedi to their limit. As the sky breaks open and destruction rains down upon the peaceful alliance they helped to build, the Jedi must trust in the Force to see them through a day in which a single mistake could cost billions of lives. Even as the Jedi battle valiantly against calamity, something truly deadly grows beyond the boundary of the Republic. The hyperspace disaster is far more sinister than the Jedi could ever suspect. A threat hides in the darkness, far from the light of the age, and harbors a secret that could strike fear into even a Jedi’s heart.

Soon to be adapted for television by Carnival, creators of Downton Abbey An Indie Next Pick • A Science Fiction Book Club Pick Bestselling author of The Oracle Year, Charles Soule brings his signature knowledge—and wariness—of technology to his new novel set in a realistic future about a brilliant female scientist who creates a technology that allows for the transfer of human consciousness between bodies, and the transformations this process wreaks upon the world. Inside a barn in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a scientist searching for an Alzheimer’s cure throws a switch—and finds herself mysteriously transported into her husband’s body. What begins as a botched experiment will change her life—and the world—forever… Over two decades later, all across the planet, “flash” technology allows individuals the ability to transfer their consciousness into other bodies for specified periods, paid, registered and legal. Society has been utterly transformed by the process, from travel to warfare to entertainment; “Be anyone with Anyone” the tagline of the company offering this ultimate out-of-body experience. But beyond the reach of the law and government regulators is a sordid black market called the darkshare, where desperate “vessels” anonymously rent out their bodies, no questions asked for any purpose - sex, drugs, crime... or worse. Anyone masterfully interweaves the present-day story of the discovery and development of the flash with the gritty tale of one woman’s crusade to put an end to the darkness it has brought to the world twenty-five years after its creation. Like Blade Runner crossed with Get Out, Charles Soule’s thought-provoking work of speculative fiction takes us to a world where identity, morality, and technology collide.

Knowledge is power. So when an unassuming Manhattan bassist named Will Dando awakens from a dream one morning with 108 predictions about the future in his head, he rapidly finds himself the most powerful man in the world. Protecting his anonymity by calling himself the Oracle, he sets up a heavily guarded Web site with the help of his friend Hamza to selectively announce his revelations. In no time, global corporations are offering him millions for exclusive access, eager to profit from his prophecies.

Legions of cyber spies are unleashed to hack the Site—as it''s come to be called—and the best manhunters money can buy are deployed not only to unmask the Oracle but to take him out of the game entirely.
