New Releases by John Scalzi

Al patrulea volum din seria RĂZBOIUL BĂTRÂNILOR. Roman nominalizat la premiile Hugo și Norton „Palpitant și original, trist și verosimil. Ca romanul Infanteria stelară, dar fără filozofări.“ Cory Doctorow La numai 16 ani, Zoë Boutin-Perry este o legendă sacră pentru o specie de extratereștri și pion într-un joc de strategie care poate salva sau condamna definitiv umanitatea. Când au fost aleși să guverneze noua lume colonială, părinții ei au crezut că vor începe o viață minunată printre stele. Dar colonia lor a ajuns în centrul conflictului dintre Uniunea Colonială și Conclavul extraterestru. Iar acum numai Zoë îi poate salva. „Acest roman este pentru Ultima colonie ceea ce a fost Umbra lui Ender pentru Jocul lui Ender – o repovestire cu totul nouă, din perspectiva unui personaj-cheie. Eroina adolescentă reușește să insufle vitalitate și căldură fiecărei secvențe din carte.“ SF Reviews „Meritul lui Scalzi nu este numai acela că a scris o poveste extraordinară, ci și că a revitalizat un subgen literar care părea că nu mai are nimic de spus. RĂZBOIUL BĂTRÂNILOR este, din punctul meu de vedere, cea mai bună serie military science-fiction.“ Marian Coman

La Lune, du jour au lendemain, est métamorphosée : là où basalte et anorthosite régnaient en maître, les observations attentives sont unanimes : notre satellite s’est transformé en fromage.Qu’importent les raisons – bien que rabat-joie et autres fâcheux s’interrogent –, ...

After a decade, acclaimed science fiction master John Scalzi returns to the galaxy of the Old Man's War series with the long awaited seventh book, The Shattering Peace THE PEACE IS SHATTERING For a decade, peace has reigned in interstellar space. A tripartite agreement between the Colonial Union, the Earth, and the alien Conclave has kept the forces of war at bay, even when some would have preferred to return to the fighting and struggle of former times. For now, more sensible heads have prevailed – and have even championed unity. But now, there is a new force that threatens the hard-maintained peace: The Consu, the most advanced intelligent species humans have ever met, are on the cusp of a species-defining civil war. This war is between Consu factions... but nothing the Consu ever do is just about them. The Colonial Union, the Earth and the Conclave have been unwillingly dragged into the conflict, in the most surprising of ways. Gretchen Trujillo is a mid-level diplomat, working in an unimportant part of the Colonial Union bureaucracy. But when she is called to take part in a secret mission involving representatives from every powerful faction in space, what she finds there has the chance to redefine the destinies of humans and aliens alike... or destroy them forever.

New York Times bestselling author John Scalzi flies you to the moon with his most fantastic tale to date: When the Moon Hits Your Eye The moon has turned into cheese. Now humanity has to deal with it. For some it’s an opportunity. For others it’s a moment to question their faith: In God, in science, in everything. Still others try to keep the world running in the face of absurdity and uncertainty. And then there are the billions looking to the sky and wondering how a thing that was always just there is now... something absolutely impossible. Astronauts and billionaires, comedians and bank executives, professors and presidents, teenagers and terminal patients at the end of their lives -- over the length of an entire lunar cycle, each get their moment in the moonlight. To panic, to plan, to wonder and to pray, to laugh and to grieve. All in a kaleidoscopic novel that goes all the places you’d expect, and then to so many places you wouldn’t. It’s a wild moonage daydream. Ride this rocket. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Now a New York Times bestseller! Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits. Jake had enemies, and now they're coming after Charlie. His uncle might have been a stand-up, old-fashioned kind of villain, but these are the real thing: rich, soulless predators backed by multinational corporations and venture capital. It's up to Charlie to win the war his uncle started against a league of supervillains. But with unionized dolphins, hyper-intelligent talking spy cats, and a terrifying henchperson at his side, going bad is starting to look pretty good. In a dog-eat-dog world...be a cat.

The Kaiju Preservation Society is John Scalzi's first standalone adventure since the conclusion of his New York Times bestselling Interdependency trilogy. When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization.” Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at least. In an alternate dimension, massive dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm, human-free world. They're the universe's largest and most dangerous panda and they're in trouble. It's not just the Kaiju Preservation Society who have found their way to the alternate world. Others have, too. And their carelessness could cause millions back on our Earth to die.

Il collasso del Flusso, il percorso interstellare tra i pianeti dell''Interdipendenza, è accelerato. Interi sistemi stellari - e miliardi di persone - stanno per essere tagliati fuori dal resto della civiltà umana. Questo crollo è stato predetto da una previsione scientifica. . . eppure, anche se l''evidenza è ovvia e insormontabile, molti cercano ancora di razionalizzare, ritardare e trarre profitto da questi ultimi giorni di uno dei più grandi imperi che l''umanità abbia mai conosciuto. L’imperatrice Grayland II ha finalmente strappato il controllo del suo impero a coloro che le si oppongono e negano la realtà di questo crollo. Ma il "controllo" è una cosa sfuggente, e anche se Grayland si sforza di salvare il maggior numero dei suoi abitanti da un isolamento impoverito, le forze che si oppongono al suo governo daranno un’ultima spinta disperata per farla cadere dal trono e perdere potere, con ogni mezzo necessario. Grayland e il suo elenco sempre più sottile di alleati, devono utilizzare ogni strumento a loro disposizione per salvare se stessi e l''intera umanità. Eppure, tutto ciò, potrebbe non essere sufficiente. Grayland diventerà la salvatrice della sua civiltà. . . o l''ultima imperatrice a indossare la corona?

The Last Emperox is the thrilling conclusion to the award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling Interdependency series, an epic space opera adventure from Hugo Award-winning author John Scalzi. The collapse of The Flow, the interstellar pathway between the planets of the Interdependency, has accelerated. Entire star systems—and billions of people—are becoming cut off from the rest of human civilization. This collapse was foretold through scientific prediction . . . and yet, even as the evidence is obvious and insurmountable, many still try to rationalize, delay and profit from, these final days of one of the greatest empires humanity has ever known. Emperox Grayland II has finally wrested control of her empire from those who oppose her and who deny the reality of this collapse. But “control” is a slippery thing, and even as Grayland strives to save as many of her people form impoverished isolation, the forces opposing her rule will make a final, desperate push to topple her from her throne and power, by any means necessary. Grayland and her thinning list of allies must use every tool at their disposal to save themselves, and all of humanity. And yet it may not be enough. Will Grayland become the savior of her civilization . . . or the last emperox to wear the crown? The Interdependency Series 1. The Collapsing Empire 2. The Consuming Fire 3.

This discounted ebundle of the Lock In Series: includes: Lock In, Head On, Unlocked "This is the kind of thriller that Michael Crichton, Lincoln Child, and James Rollins do so well. Add John Scalzi to that list." --Douglas Preston A blazingly inventive near-future thriller series from the best-selling, Hugo Award-winning John Scalzi.

The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.

Hilketa is a frenetic and violent pastime where players attack each other with swords and hammers. All the players are "threeps," robot-like bodies controlled by people with Haden's Syndrome. No one gets hurt, but the brutality is real and the crowds love it until a star athlete drops dead on the playing field. FBI agents and Haden-related crime investigators, Chris Shane and Leslie Vann, are called in to uncover the truth - and in doing so travel to the darker side of the fast-growing sport of Hilketa, where fortunes are made or lost, and where players and owners do whatever it takes to win, on and off the field.

The first novel of a new space-opera sequence set in an all-new universe by the Hugo Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling author of Redshirts and Old Man's War.

Un nouveau virus extrêmement contagieux s''est abattu sur la Terre. Quatre cents millions de morts. Si la plupart des malades, cependant, n''y ont réagi que par des symptômes grippaux dont ils se sont vite remis, un pour cent des victimes ont subi ce qu''il est convenu d''appeler le « syndrome d''Haden » : parfaitement conscients, ...

Hugo-award winning author, John Scalzi returns to his best-selling Old Man's War universe with The End of All Things, the direct sequel to 2013's The Human Division Humans expanded into space...only to find a universe populated with multiple alien species bent on their destruction. Thus was the Colonial Union formed, to help protect us from a hostile universe. The Colonial Union used the Earth and its excess population for colonists and soldiers. It was a good arrangement...for the Colonial Union. Then the Earth said: no more. Now the Colonial Union is living on borrowed time-a couple of decades at most, before the ranks of the Colonial Defense Forces are depleted and the struggling human colonies are vulnerable to the alien species who have been waiting for the first sign of weakness, to drive humanity to ruin. And there's another problem: A group, lurking in the darkness of space, playing human and alien against each other-and against their own kind -for their own unknown reasons. In this collapsing universe, CDF Lieutenant Harry Wilson and the Colonial Union diplomats he works with race against the clock to discover who is behind attacks on the Union and on alien races, to seek peace with a suspicious, angry Earth, and keep humanity's union intact...or else risk oblivion, and extinction-and the end of all things.

"Nella grande ammiraglia dell''Unione Universale, l''Intrepid, le uniformi hanno il colore della gloria." Non credeteci. Hanno il colore dell''opportunismo, e chi comanda non porterà mai una casacca rossa. Chi comanda è al sicuro sui ponti più alti, mentre chi va incontro al nemico - quando è il momento di affrontare l''ignoto, di rischiare la vita - sono sempre i sacrificabili. Quelli col petto rosso di coraggio, come dicono i bandi d''arruolamento, quelli col petto rosso di sangue. Andrew Dahl scoprirà tutto questo a bordo dell''Intrepid, dove lo hanno assegnato al prestigioso laboratorio di Xenobiologia. Perché nella missione c''è qualcosa di profondamente sbagliato, qualcosa che sa di inumano... più ancora dell''anatomia dei corpi alieni.

New York Times bestselling author John Scalzi takes readers on an epic romp of galactic conquest and exploration in the Old Man''s War series. This box set includes: Old Man''s War, The Ghost Brigades, and The Last Colony Earth itself is a backwater. The bulk of humanity''s resources are in the hands of the Colonial Defense Force, which shields the home planet from too much knowledge of the situation. What''s known to everybody is that when you reach retirement age, you can join the CDF. They don''t want young people; they want people who carry the knowledge and skills of decades of living. Old Man''s War John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife''s grave. Then he joined the army, with only the vaguest idea what to expect. Because the actual fight is far more difficult than he can imagine--and what he will become is far stranger. The Ghost Brigades At first, Jared is a perfect soldier, but as another man''s memories slowly surface, Jared begins to intuit the reasons for their betrayal. Time is running out: The alliance is preparing its offensive, and some of them plan worse things than humanity''s mere military defeat. The Last Colony Retired from his fighting days, John Perry and his wife, Jane, are pulled back into the political arena, and into the thick of interstellar politics, betrayal, and war.

Nueva edición de esta emblemática novela, ganadora del Premio Hugo 2013. El alférez Andrew Dahl acaba de ser destinado al Intrepid, buque insignia de la Unión Universal desde 2456. Es un destino de prestigio, y Andrew está más emocionado si cabe por el hecho de que lo hayan asignado al laboratorio de xenobiología de a bordo, lo que le dará la oportunidad de servir en misiones de desembarco junto a los famosos oficiales de la nave. Sus perspectivas no podrían ser mejores... hasta que Andrew empieza a comprender que cada misión de desembarco implica algún tipo de enfrentamiento letal con fuerzas alienígenas, el capitán de la nave, su oficial científico jefe y el atractivo teniente Kerensky siempre sobreviven a estos enfrentamientos, y lamentablemente, al menos uno de los tripulantes de bajo rango siempre, siempre, muere. Por tanto no sorprende que los tripulantes de las cubiertas inferiores eviten como la peste las misiones de desembarco. Y cuando Andrew tropieza con una información que transforma completamente tanto su propia visión como la de sus compañeros de lo que realmente es el Intrepid, surgirá la arriesgada oportunidad de salvar sus propias vidas. Gracias a su característico sentido del humor, John Scalzi es un referente de la ciencia ficción a nivel mundial, uno de los estandartes contemporáneos del catálogo de Minotauro. «Redshirts es tan divertida que puedes mearte encima, tan original que te sentirás como si leyeras a Philip K. Dick, y absurdamente rica en ideas y emociones. John Scalzi se propone impresionar y da en el blanco. Buena lectura y próspera vida.» — JOE HILL, autor de El traje del muerto «Puedo decir con honestidad que no recuerdo otro libro que me haya hecho reír tanto.» —PATRICK ROTHFUSS, autor de El nombre del viento «Divertida a más no poder, una maravillosa comedia. Puedes creerme: he matado a un montón de redshirts.» —MELINDA SNODGRASS, guionista de Star Trek: La nueva generación «Scalzi desmonta el universo de Star Trek y lo monta de nuevo para que resulte más plausible... Y también más hilarante.» LEV GROSSMAN, autor de Los magos"

J’ai fait deux choses le jour de mes soixante-quinze ans : je suis allé sur la tombe de ma femme. Puis je me suis engagé. À soixante-quinze ans, l’âge requis, John Perry n’est pas le seul à intégrer les Forces de défense coloniale, billet pour les étoiles, mais sans retour. Rien ne le retient plus sur Terre. Combien d’années peut-il espérer vivre ? S’engager, c’est protéger l’expansion de l’humanité dans la Galaxie, retrouver une seconde jeunesse et, à l’issue du service, obtenir le statut de colon sur une planète nouvelle. Mais qu’advient-il réellement de ces recrues ? Dans la lignée de Starship Troopers de Robert Heinlein et de La guerre éternelle de Joe Haldeman, John Scalzi, pour son premier roman, a été finaliste du prix Hugo et a obtenu le prix Campbell du meilleur nouvel auteur de s.-f.

John Scalzi ismét visszatér a Vének háborúja-univerzumba, ahol ezúttal az emberi faj egységének fenntartása a cél. A Föld lakói már tudják, hogy a Gyarmati Szövetség szándékosan eltitkolta elõlük az univerzum veszélyeit. Generációk óta védelmezik az anyabolygót különféle idegen fajokkal szemben, ám nem puszta hazafiasságból: mindennél jobban szükségük van a katonai utánpótlásra, amivel egyedül a Föld láthatja el õket. A u0093Perry-incidensu0094 után azonban nincsenek többé titkok, ráadásul új fajok jelentek meg és alkottak egységet - kifejezetten a Gyarmati Szövetség ellen. Tagjaik közt szeretnék látni a Földet is, amelynek vezetõi elárulva érzik magukat, és már nem tudják, hogy kiben bízhatnak. De választaniuk kell. Eközben a Gyarmati Szövetség mûködése is veszélybe kerül. Haderejük bevetése helyett ezúttal diplomáciai cselekkel és politikai fondorlatokkal akarják a javukra fordítani ezt az ördögi játszmát, amelynek a tétje most már az egész emberiség jövõje. Bevetik tehát a B csapatot Harry Wilson hadnaggyal az élen. Azt a csapatot, amelyik talán a harctéren nem a legjobb választás, de a váratlan és kiszámíthatatlan helyzetekre mindig váratlan és kiszámíthatatlan megoldásokat találnak. Az õ küldetéseikrõl szól A lázadás hangjai. John Scalzi elõször digitálisan, epizódok formájában publikálta a kötetben szereplõ történeteket 2013. januárja és áprilisa között, majd a kirobbanó sikernek köszönhetõen nem kellett sokáig várni a könyv formájú megjelenésre sem. Elképesztõ epizódjaival, felejthetetlen szereplõivel és emlékezetes párbeszédeivel A lázadás hangjai a Vének háborúja-sorozat legszínesebb, legváltozatosabb darabja.

Eine Episode aus „Die letzte Einheit“, dem neuen „Krieg der Klone“-Roman von John Scalzi Nun haben die Erde und die Koloniale Union doch noch die offiziellen diplomatischen Kontakte wieder aufgenommen. Es ist die Chance, die Kluft zwischen den beiden Fraktionen endlich zu überbrücken. Die Crew von der Clarke und das diplomatische Team von Botschafterin Ode Abumwe und Lieutenant Harry Wilson tun alles, um den Prozess der Wiederannährung voranzubringen. Doch nicht alle sind an einer Aussöhnung zwischen Erde und KU interessiert – und sie tun alles, um die Menschheit endgültig zu entzweien.

Eine Episode aus „Die letzte Einheit“, dem neuen „Krieg der Klone“-Roman von John Scalzi Lieutenant Harry Wilson ist auf ein Kriegsschiff der Kolonialen Verteidigungsarmee versetzt worden. Der Auftrag lautet, eine wilde Kolonie still und heimlich von einem Planeten zu entfernen, der eigentlich bereits von dem Alien-Volk der Bula beansprucht wird. Währenddessen soll Botschafterin Abumwe mit den Bula verhandeln – und die Existenz der wilden Kolonie verschleiern. Zwei Vorhaben, die eigentlich zum Scheitern verurteilt sind.

Following the events of The Last Colony, John Scalzi tells the story of the fight to maintain the unity of the human race. The people of Earth now know that the human Colonial Union has kept them ignorant of the dangerous universe around them. For generations the CU had defended humanity against hostile aliens, deliberately keeping Earth an ignorant backwater and a source of military recruits. Now the CU's secrets are known to all. Other alien races have come on the scene and formed a new alliance—an alliance against the Colonial Union. And they've invited the people of Earth to join them. For a shaken and betrayed Earth, the choice isn't obvious or easy. Against such possibilities, managing the survival of the Colonial Union won't be easy, either. It will take diplomatic finesse, political cunning...and a brilliant "B Team," centered on the resourceful Lieutenant Harry Wilson, that can be deployed to deal with the unpredictable and unexpected things the universe throws at you when you're struggling to preserve the unity of the human race. Being published online from January to April 2013 as a three-month digital serial, The Human Division will appear as a full-length novel of the Old Man's War universe, plus—for the first time in print—the first tale of Lieutenant Harry Wilson, and a coda that wasn't part of the digital serialization.
