Can Emilie and her new-found friends possibly reach the surface world again? Emilie and the Sky-World When Emilie arrives in Silk Harbor, Professor Abindon, an old colleague of her friend Lady Marlende, warns them of something strange and potentially deadly in the sky, a disruption in an upper air aether current. On further investigation they realize it’s a ship from another aetheric plane. How to determine if it’s a friendly explorer, or something far more sinister? Nothing less than a journey into the dangerous air currents will do. Join Emilie and she navigates the strange landscapes of the upper air, and the deadly menace that inhabits the Sky World.

Der neue Killerbot-Roman – bald als Serie bei Apple TV+ Wenn die SecurityUnit namens Killerbot nicht gerade Attentäter zur Strecke bringt oder Fernsehserien suchtet, ist sie als Begleitschutz für Forschungsmissionen unterwegs. Diesmal geht allerdings alles schief. Der Konzern Barish-Estranza schickt gleich mehrere Schiffe, um Siedler auf einem neu kolonisierten Planeten zu retten. Killerbot ist mit dabei, aber leider auch mehrere andere SecUnits. Schon bald hat der neurotischste Roboter von allen den Verdacht, dass der Konzern eine geheime Agenda verfolgt – und auch Killerbots eigenes System läuft nicht rund. Und wenn Killerbot nicht das Leben der Siedler gefährden will, muss er schleunigst eine Lösung finden ...

Dopo essere stato assassinato e rinchiuso in una tomba immersa nell''acqua, inconsapevole del passare del tempo e di ogni altra cosa, Kai si risveglia per rendersi conto di essere in balìa di un espositore che vuole fare di lui un famiglio e schiavizzarlo. Ma perché Kai si è ritrovato in questa situazione? Cosa è cambiato nel mondo dopo che è stato assassinato? E perché la coalizione del Mondo Nascente sembra stare diventando sempre più importante e influente? Kai dovrà stringersi quanto più possibile ai suoi alleati per attingere a tutti i suoi poteri se vuole tentare di rispondere anche a una sola di queste domande.

The Murderbot Diaries vol 1 contains part 1-2 of The Murderbot Diaries; All Systems Red (1) and Artificial Condition (2).[Bokinfo].

The adventures of Murderbot continue in novellas three and four, collected in paperback for the first time! “Who knew being a heartless killing machine would present so many moral dilemmas?” Science fiction’s favorite antisocial A.I. is back in Rogue Protocol! The case against the too-big-to-fail GrayCris Corporation is floundering, and more importantly, authorities are beginning to ask more questions about where Dr. Mensah''s SecUnit is. And Murderbot would rather those questions went away. For good. In Exit Strategy, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah—its former owner (protector? friend?)—submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit. But who’s going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue? And what will become of it when it’s caught?

The illegitimate daughter of the old king and the Queen of Air and Darkness herself, Kade''s true desires are cloaked in mystery. It falls to Thomas Boniface, Captain of the Queen''s Guard, to keep the kingdom from harm. But is one man''s steel enough to counter all the magic of fayre? The Death of the Necromancer Nicholas Valiarde is a passionate, embittered nobleman and the greatest thief in all of Ile-Rien. On the gaslit streets of the city, Nicholas assumes the guise of a master criminal, stealing jewels from wealthy nobles to finance his quest for a long-pursued vengeance. But Nicholas''s murderous mission is being interrupted by a series of eerie, unexplainable, and fatal events. A dark magic opposes him, and traces of a necromantic power that hasn''t been used for centuries abound. Nicholas and his compatriots find themselves battling an ancient evil. And if they lose? Death would be preferable to the fate that awaits them.... At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

The New York Times bestselling security droid with a heart (though it wouldn''t admit it!) is back in Fugitive Telemetry! Having captured the hearts of readers across the globe (Annalee Newitz says it''s "one of the most humane portraits of a nonhuman I''ve ever read") Murderbot has also established Martha Wells as one of the great SF writers of today. No, I didn''t kill the dead human. If I had, I wouldn''t dump the body in the station mall. When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people—who knew?) Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans! Again!
