In Far-Seer and Fossil Hunter, we met the Quintaglios, a race of intelligent dinosaurs from Earth and learned of the threat to their very existence. Now they must quickly advance from a culture equivalent to our Renaissance to the point where they can leave their planet. While the Quintaglios rush to develop space travel, the discovery of a second species of intelligent dinosaur rocks their most fundamental beliefs. Meanwhile, blind Afsan -- the dinosaurian Galileo -- undergoes the newfangled treatment of psychoanalysis, throwing everything he thought he knew about his violent people into a startling new light.

Durante un par de minutos la conciencia de toda la raza humana se desvanece y es proyectada hacia el futuro. Así empieza la novela en la que se ha basado Flashforward, la serie de televisión del momento en todo el mundo. Mientras la humanidad debe restañar los catastróficos efectos inmediatos, las implicaciones más serias tardan algo más en aparecer. Aquellos que no recibieron visiones del porvenir tratan de descubrir cuál es la causa . Otros buscan ya (o tratan de evitar conocer) a sus futuros amantes, o investigan su propio asesinato... A medida que las verdaderas consecuencias de lo sucedido comienzan a hacerse claras, todos quieren un destello del futuro, una oportunidad para saltar y ser testigo de su éxito... O para aprender a evitar sus errores.

Letters from the Flesh, the second book by new SF novelist Marcos Donnelly, sets a breathtaking pace, tackling far-reaching themes like evolution, fundamentalism, quantum realities, and the very core of human nature. The novel is a fictional collection of two sets of letters united by a single secret, but separated by two thousand years: - the first-century epistles of a non-physical alien entrapped in the body of St. Paul the Apostle, accidentally triggering the birth of Christianity; - the emails of microbiologist Dr. Lillian Oberland, a young college adjunct writing to her cousin Michael, a public school biology teacher facing the wrath of Creationist parents. The letters reveal a relationship far deeper than passing coincidences-and signal that cousin Michael''s unexpected conversion to fundamentalism might have interspecies consequences that cross the millennia.

Fantascienza - racconto (13 pagine) - Perché gli alieni non comunicano con noi? In questo breve ma geniale racconto Sawyer dà una soluzione, e ne trae una terribile conseguenza Secondo alcune stime solo nella nostra galassia dovrebbero esserci circa otto miliardi di pianeti abitabili. Molti di essi dovrebbero aver sviluppato la vita, l''intelligenza, civiltà tecnologiche. Il paradosso di Fermi dice: se ci sono tutti questi alieni là fuori, perché non si fanno sentire? Perché non abbiamo mai captato un sagnale, o ricevuto una visita? In questo breve racconto, tra i suoi più famosi, Robert J. Sawyer dà una risposta e soprattutto ne trae una conseguenza. E da questa conoscenza il protagonista di questa storia dovrà trovare la chiave per venire a patti con la sua coscienza. Canadese, nato a Ottawa nel 1960, Robert J. Sawyer è uno dei migliori scrittori di fantascienza dell’ultima generazione. Ha vinto un premio Nebula già nel 1995 con uno dei suoi primi romanzi, Killer online, e nel 2003 ha ottenuto anche il Premio Hugo con La genesi della specie. Recentemente è stato insignito col Premio Aurora alla Carriera. Scrittore di fantascienza di stampo classico, con una particolare attenzione agli aspetti scientifici, Sawyer affronta spesso temi legati all’evoluzione, all’antrolopologia, all’impatto dell’uomo con le grandi rivelazioni e rivoluzioni portate dalla scienza o dal contatto con intelligenze diverse. È una persona molto alla mano, entusiasta di scrivere fantascienza e di corrispondere con i suoi lettori, anche tramite il suo sito personale il suo profilo Facebook. È socio onorario dell''Associazione Delos Books ed è stato ospite dei Delos Days a Milano nel 2011. I suoi romanzi sono stati pubblicati in Italia dall’Editrice Nord, da Fanucci e soprattutto da Urania. Delos Digital ha pubblicato diversi delle sue migliori opere brevi.

A mechanical Jesus for your shrine, the myths of cuttlefish, a vampire in residential schools, a Muslim woman who wants to get closer, surgically, to her god, the demons of outer space, the downside of Nirvana. The 24 science fiction and fantasy stories and poems included in Wrestling with Gods (Tesseracts Eighteen) take their faith and religion into the future, into the weird and comic and thought-provoking spaces where science fiction and fantasy has really always gone, struggling with higher powers, gods, the limits of technology, the limits of spiritual experience. At times profound, these speculative offerings give readers a chance to see faith from the believer and the skeptic in worlds where what you believe is a matter of life, death, and afterlife.

Aboard Argo, a colonization ship bound for Eta Cephei IV, people are very close--there''s no other choice. So when Aaron Rossman''s ex-wife dies in what seems to be a bizarre accident, everyone offers their sympathy, politely keeping their suspicions of suicide to themselves.

When Aaron discovers the truth behind her death, he is faced with a terrible secret--a secret that could cost him his life.

On the eve of a secret military operation, an assassin’s bullet strikes President Seth Jerrison. He is rushed to the hospital, where surgeons struggle to save his life. At the same hospital, Professor Ranjip Singh is experimenting with a device that can erase traumatic memories. Then a terrorist bomb detonates. In the operating room, the president suffers cardiac arrest. He has a near-death experience, but the memories that flash through Jerrison’s mind are not his own. It quickly becomes clear that the electromagnetic pulse generated by the bomb amplified and scrambled Professor Singh’s equipment, allowed a random group of people to access one another’s minds. And now one of those people can retrieve President Jerrison’s memories – including classified information regarding the upcoming military mission, which, if revealed, could cost countless lives. But the task of determining who has switched memories with whom is a daunting one – particularly when some of the people involved have reason to lie…

Amikor u200begy idegen civilizáció küldötte érkezik a Földre, úti céljául a torontói Royal Ontario Museumot választja. A múzeum egyik munkatársával, Thomas Jerichóval lép kapcsolatba, aki meglepődve veszi tudomásul, hogy Hollus, a pókszerű lény bolygónk történelmét jött tanulmányozni, párhuzamokat keresve más civilizációk sorsával. Nem kisebb feladatra vállalkozott ugyanis, valamiféle kívülről rákényszerített rendezőelv nyomait kutatja a világegyetemben, más szóval Isten létének bizonyítékát. Az ateista Jericho saját kételyeivel küzdve segíti Hollus munkáját, de az egyre meggyőzőbb érveket mind nehezebben utasíthatja el. Vajon ha létezik Isten, mi a célja velünk, emberekkel? És érdemes-e egyáltalán kutatni szándékai után, hiszen az Ő útjai köztudottan kifürkészhetetlenek. Kanada legsikeresebb SF-szerzője a Lélekhullám után ezzel a regényével ismét a tudomány és a hit világának metszéspontjaira irányítja a reflektorfényt. Gondolatébresztő művét a megjelenését követő évben több díjra jelölték, és azóta is élénk vitákat generál olvasói körében.

L''ALTERNATIVA OPPENHEIMER Dopo la distruzione di Hiroshima e Nagasaki, lo scienziato responsabile del progetto Manhattan, J. Robert Oppenheimer, si mette a capo di un nuovo team di scienziati per scongiurare, questa volta, una catastrofe. Intorno al 2030, infatti, è prevista un''esplosione del sole che diffonderà con furia devastante il suo strato più esterno, distruggendo l''intero sistema solare. A oltre settantacinque anni dallo sgancio delle bombe atomiche sul Giappone, l''autore vincitore dei premi Nebula e Hugo ci riporta indietro nel tempo per ripercorrere la Storia... con una svolta imprevista.

Pour Frank Nobilio, le conseiller scientifique du président des Etats-Unis, le premier contact entre l''humanité et une race extraterrestre est assurément un succès : les Tosoks, malgré leur aspect déroutant, sont amicaux et tout disposés à faire bénéficier les hommes de leur avance technique. Quant à ces derniers, ils ont réussi à passer outre un bien légitime désarroi face aux caractéristiques morphologiques de leurs visiteurs pour réserver à ceux-ci le meilleur accueil possible. Mais une nuit, un des savants de l''entourage des aliens est assassiné dans des conditions atroces, et tous les indices semblent accuser Hask, l''un des Tosoks. Bientôt arrêté, emprisonné et traduit en jugement, Hask risque d''être exécuté à moins que Frank et Dale, son avocat, ne parviennent à établir son innocence. Leur tâche s''annonce d''autant plus difficile que leur client se montre peu coopératif, laissant entendre que l''enjeu de ce procès dépasse de loin le cadre étroit de la justice humaine... Un roman époustouflant - et souvent drôle - qui fait cohabiter très intelligemment la thématique classique du " premier contact " et le thriller juridique haletant à la John Grisham !
