Eu era Jack, O Estripador
by Michael Bray José Carcagnolo NetoQuando Jack, o Estripador, aterrorizou Londres em 1888, ele desencadearia um mistério quando desaparecesse e sua série de assassinatos violentos e terríveis terminasse com a mesma rapidez com que começavam, deixando um dos mais antigos crimes não resolvidos do mundo em seu rastro. Agora, em 1907, o biógrafo Charles Hapgood está prestes a ser visitado por um homem com assombrosas alegações de que ele era o famoso Estripador e deseja contar sua história antes de sua futura morte. Cético a princípio, Hapgood concorda em ouvir sua história, apenas para logo mostrar provas indiscutíveis de que seu visitante fala a verdade e é quem ele diz ser. Enquanto Hapgood escuta o conto do homem, ele é atraído para um mundo de dor, crueldade, terror e tristeza ao descobrir como uma criança inocente se transformou no maior monstro vivo que o mundo já viu. À medida que a história se desenrola, ele começa a temer por sua própria segurança, como o homem conhecido como Jack The Ripper conta sua história em suas próprias palavras, um conto que vai muito além do tempo conhecido de seus horríveis crimes e atinge novas profundezas de terror e depravação que Hapgood nunca poderia ter imaginado.
Eu, Sargento
by Nick Thacker Jemima Cristina CaldeiraMeu nome é Renfro. Sargento Renfro, ou só Sargento... Sim, Sargento é meu primeiro nome e é também minha patente. Eu nasci dentro e por causa desta guerra..., mas essa é uma outra história. Meu interesse particular pelas forças armadas esteve próximo a zero pela maior parte da minha vida, mas, como todos da minha geração, fomos convocados ao serviço. O próximo da crescente coleção de Nick Thacker de suspenses, ficção-cientifica, ação e aventura... Nunca houve um momento durante a guerra em que eu não quisesse continuar vivo, então lutei. A princípio, lutei egoisticamente pela minha própria vida, e então pela minha esquadra e pelotão, e finalmente pelos indivíduos com quem servia. Foi uma rota tortuosa, e provavelmente um pouco autocentrada, mas me guiou até aqui. Fãs de Isaac Asimov e H.G. Wells, comecem a ler Eu, Sargento hoje!
Euclid’s Wall
by Michael McCollumA century after civilization fell in a day and a night of tectonic cataclysm, scattered communities have regained a fraction of what humanity lost on that Day of Destruction. One such is the Duchy of Hampshire on the southern tip of England.Hampshire is at war with the Califat de Normandie. It is a war that has been profitable for merchant sea captain Ethan Scott of the Sailing Barque Hellespont. Despite the money to be made, Scott prays for the war to end. Each time he puts to sea, he risks his ship and the lives of his crew on his ability to evade the Norman raiders in the Channel and the Eirish Sea. It is a gamble he will inevitably lose if he keeps at it too long.The Duke of Hampshire has problems of his own. War is expensive. If he doesn’t find additional resources soon, he will be defeated. The Duke plans to send an expedition to North America to discover whether the fabled wealth of old still exists there. For that, he needs a ship.Scott’s chance meeting with a beautiful woman presents both men with the solution to their respective problems. Soon Hellespont sets sail for America and the mysterious Wall that scholars believe precipitated the fall of civilization, and which may yet destroy the world.
Eugenia
by Eduardo Urzaiz Aaron Dziubinskyj Sarah A. Buck KachalubaIt is the year 2218. In "Villautopia," the capital of a Central American nation, the state selects young, biologically desirable citizens to act as breeders. Embryos are implanted in males to increase a flagging population rate, and the offspring are raised in state facilities until old enough to choose their own, non-nuclear families. Sterilization of children with mental or physical abnormalities further ensures the purity of the gene pool. Written two years before Yevgeny Zamyatin's We and twelve years before Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Eugenia recounts the story of Ernesto, who at age twenty-three is selected as a breeder. Celiana, his thirty-eight-year-old lover and an accomplished scholar, is deemed unfit for reproduction. To cope with her feelings of guilt and hopelessness, she increasingly turns to marijuana, and her scholarly productivity declines. Meanwhile Ernesto falls in love with a fellow breeder, a young woman named Eugenia--but the life they ultimately choose is not quite what the state had envisioned. Taking up important challenges of modern society--population growth, reproductive behavior and technologies, experimentation with gender roles, and changes in family dynamics--Eugenia is published here in English for the first time. Sarah A. Buck Kachaluba and Aaron Dziubinskyj provide a critical apparatus helping readers to understand the novel's literary genesis and genealogy as well as its historical context. Arising from its twentieth-century origins, yet remarkably contemporary, Eugenia is a treasure of speculative fiction.
The Eugenics Wars: Volume 2 (Star Trek #Vol. 2)
by Greg Cox"A strange, violent period in your history." -- Spock Many unanswered questions remain about the terrible Eugenics Wars that raged on Earth during the 1990s, an apocalyptic conflict that brought civilization to the brink of a new dark age. Centuries later, as Capt. James T. Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise are forced to defend a colony of genetically enhanced humans against Klingon aggression and sabotage, Kirk must probe deeper into the past -- and into the glory days of one of the greatest adversaries he has ever faced. 1992. Almost twenty years ago, Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln, undercover operatives for an unknown alien civilization, failed to prevent the Chrysalis Project from creating an entire generation of supermen and women, genetically engineered to be stronger, smarter, and more resourceful than ordinary human beings. Now, at last, the children of Chrysalis have grown to adulthood, and are rapidly demonstrating that superior abilities spawn superior ambition. Perhaps the most formidable of this new breed of supermen is the charismatic Khan Noonien Singh. Working behind the scenes of history as head of a vast global conspiracy, Khan's power soon stretches across a quarter of the planet, but that is only the beginning of his grand design. Determined to unite humanity beneath the enlightened rule of a genetic elite, Khan dreams of leading his fellow superhumans to complete and total domination of the world. But several of his gene-engineered brothers and sisters have equally grandiose visions for the future, visions that recognize no one but themselves as supreme ruler. Gary Seven and Roberta watch in horror as the children of Chrysalis wage a covert war against one another, threatening the safety of millions and the future of the entire world! The Eugenics Wars: Volume Two is an earth-shattering thriller that reveals the secret history of the twentieth century -- and the ultimate destiny of the tyrant known as Khan.
The Eugenics Wars, Vol. 1: Volume 1 (Star Trek #Vol. 2)
by Greg Cox"The most critical period in Earth's history." -- Gary Seven, Supervisor 194 Even centuries later, the final decades of the twentieth century are still regarded -- by those who know the truth of what really happened -- as one of the darkest and most perilous chapters in the history of humanity. Now, as an ancient and forbidden technology tempts mankind once more, Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise must probe deep into the secrets of the past, to discover the true origins of the dreaded Eugenics Wars -- and of perhaps the greatest foe he has ever faced. 1974 A.D. An international consortium of the world's top scientists have conspired to create the Chrysalis Project, a top-secret experiment in human genetic engineering. The project's goal is nothing less than the creation of a new, artificially improved breed of men and women: smarter, faster, stronger than ordinary human beings, a super-race to take command of the entire planet. Gary Seven, an undercover operative for an advanced alien species, is alarmed by the project's objectives; he knows too well the apocalyptic consequences of genetic manipulation. With his trusted agents, Roberta Lincoln and the mysterious Isis, he will risk life and limb to uncover Chrysalis' insidious designs and neutralize the awesome threat that the Project poses to the future. But he may already be too late. One generation of super-humans has already been conceived. As the years go by, Seven watches with growing concern as the children of Chrysalis -- in particular, a brilliant youth named Khan Noonien Singh -- grow to adulthood. Can Khan's dark destiny be averted -- or is Earth doomed to fight a global battle for supremacy? THE EUGENICS WARS: Volume One is an engrossing and fast-paced thriller that explores the secret history of the twentieth century -- and the rise of the conqueror known as Khan.
