From New York Times bestseller and Hugo Award-winner John Scalzi, The Android’s Dream is a wild-and-woolly caper novel of interstellar diplomacy. ‘The Android’s Dream is just the right gene-splicing of fast action and furious comedy SF has been needing for ages’ – SFF180 When a human kills an alien during diplomatic negotiations, the fall-out is astronomical. To prevent interstellar war, humanity must deliver an extremely rare sheep for the aliens’ coronation ceremony – or face enslavement. So Earth’s government turns to Harry Creek: ex-cop, war hero and hacker extraordinaire. It should be a straightforward mission, but there are others who covet the priceless animal. Ruthless mercenaries, a religious cult, and alien races eager to spark revolution. Harry’s mission will take him across the galaxy, as he tries to pull off the grand diplomatic coup of the century. There’ll only be one chance to save the life of the sheep – and ensure the future of humanity. Praise for John Scalzi: ‘John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today’ – Joe Hill ‘Scalzi is one of the slickest writers that SF has ever produced’ – Wall Street Journal

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.

Head On brings Scalzi''s trademark snappy dialogue and technological speculation to the future world of sports. To some left with nothing, winning becomes everything . . . In a post-virus world, a daring sport is taking the US by storm. It’s frenetic, violent and involves teams attacking one another with swords and hammers. The aim: to obtain your opponent’s head and carry it through the goalposts. Impossible? Not if the players have Haden’s Syndrome. Unable to move, Haden’s sufferers use robot bodies, which they operate mentally. So in this sport anything goes, no one gets hurt – and crowds and competitors love it. Until a star athlete drops dead on the playing field. But is it an accident? FBI agents Chris Shane and Leslie Vann are determined to find out. In this game, fortunes can be made – or lost. And both players and owners will do whatever it takes to win, on and off the field.

*2018 LOCUS AWARD WINNER OF BEST SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL* *2018 HUGO AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST NOVEL* “John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today.” —Joe Hill, author of The Fireman 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 Our universe is ruled by physics. Faster than light travel is impossible—until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field available at certain points in space-time, which can take us to other planets around other stars. Riding The Flow, humanity spreads to innumerable other worlds. Earth is forgotten. A new empire arises, the Interdependency, based on the doctrine that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It’s a hedge against interstellar war—and, for the empire’s rulers, a system of control. The Flow is eternal—but it’s not static. Just as a river changes course, The Flow changes as well. In rare cases, entire worlds have been cut off from the rest of humanity. When it’s discovered that the entire Flow is moving, possibly separating all human worlds from one another forever, three individuals—a scientist, a starship captain, and the emperox of the Interdependency—must race against time to discover what, if anything, can be salvaged from an interstellar empire on the brink of collapse.

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.

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.

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.
