Êxodo
by Jen Minkman"O tempo é velho aqui. Mais velho do que a queimada e rachada Terra, mais velho do que arbustos murchos e do que a estrada empoeirada que corre pelo deserto como uma cobra lenta em direção ao horizonte, vacilante sob o calor. Eu não me lembro mais por quanto tempo estive aqui, mas me sinto como aquela cobra - para sempre em direção a um destino fora do alcance da vista. É somente quando eu olho para cima que eu vejo o que o meu coração almeja. O infinito céu azul. Minhas visões são azuis. Meus olhos estão famintos. A cabana fica à beira do que um dia provavelmente foi um lago. Quando vou lá fora e piso na varanda durante a hora mais quente do dia, o ar é tão quente que deixa tudo embaçado e ondulado, enchendo o lago com algo parecido com água novamente. Ainda assim aquela miragem não sacia a minha sede pelo azul. O relógio acima da porta está quebrado. O tempo não é só velho aqui - ele parece simplesmente não passar. E ainda assim eu espero." Êxodo ganhou segundo lugar no prêmio Harland (concurso de ficções curtas), um prêmio holandês de prestígio para estórias e romances de fantasia e ficção científica. Trata-se de uma estória sobre o fim do mundo, uma adolescente solitária que tenta desesperadamente deixar a Terra antes que seja tarde demais, a sua busca por redenção. O júri descreveu Êxodo como sendo uma estória com uma “mensagem bela e profunda”.
Éxodo
by Jen Minkman David Pérez BuenañoEl tiempo aquí es muy antiguo. Más incluso que las tierras agrietadas y chamuscadas, más que los arbustos esmirriados y más que el camino árido que fluye formando meandros a través del desierto, igual que una serpiente que avanza reptando hacia un horizonte difuminado por la calima. Ya no recuerdo cuánto tiempo llevo aquí, pero me siento como esa serpiente: avanzo sin fin hacia un destino que nunca alcanza la vista. Solo al mirar hacia arriba consigo ver lo que mi corazón tanto anhela: el infinito cielo azul. Todo cuanto veo es azul. Mis ojos están hambrientos. La cabaña está enclavada en el borde de lo que alguna vez debió de ser un lago. Cada vez que salgo al porche durante las horas más calurosas del día, el aire es tan sofocante que todo cuanto me rodea se nubla y se vuelve borroso. El lago vuelve a estar rebosante con algo que parece agua. Sin embargo, esta imagen no consigue saciar mi sed de azul. El reloj encima de la puerta está roto. El tiempo no solo es antiguo, sino que tampoco parece avanzar. Y aun así, espero.
Exodus
by Julie BertagnaAn internationally acclaimed bestseller, vividly and terrifyingly topical, is finally available to American audiences.

Cities have disappeared beneath the sea, technology no longer functions, and human civilization has reverted to a much more primitive state. On an isolated northern island, the people of Wing are trying to hold onto their way of life--even as the sea continues to claim precious acres and threatens to claim their very lives. Only fifteen-year-old Mara has the vision and the will to lead her people in search of a new beginning in this harsh, unfamiliar world. This compelling and powerful story set in the near future will hit home with teens, especially those who are ever more aware of the increasingly controversial climate crisis we face in our world today.
Exodus (Heaven Corp #2)
by Cc BridgesHeaven Corp: Book TwoThe truth could lead to war. Henry “Hank” Abraham enjoys being one of the most sought-after personalities in Heaven. Life is good in the floating city for someone born to one of the wealthy and influential Founding Families. Hank parties with the privileged and beds someone different every night, flouting the morality laws that control the lives of the common people on the city’s lower levels. Then someone tries to kill him—repeatedly. Terrorists have Hank in their crosshairs, and his long disinterest in politics has come home to roost. Ian Caldwell has been a security guard for the Abraham family for years. He survives the hypocrisy by sneaking away to the BDSM clubs on Earth to feed his baser desires. When he’s assigned to protect Hank, Ian pushes his attraction for his client aside. That kind of thing could get him reprogrammed. But he doesn’t count on actually falling for a man who isn’t as shallow and self-absorbed as he seems. Neither of them is prepared for the truth behind the attacks. Their journey will take them from Heaven to hell and beyond… and it might bring the tension between the classes to a violent head at last.
Exodus
by Marianna Cassano Jen Minkman"Qui il tempo è vecchio. Più vecchio di questa terra bruciata e screpolata, più vecchio dei cespugli secchi e della strada polverosa che sotto il caldo cocente attraversa il deserto come un serpente, lento e vacillante, verso l’orizzonte. Non ricordo più da quanto tempo sono qua, ma mi sento come quel serpente – perennemente in viaggio verso una meta che continua a sfuggirmi di vista. Solo quando guardo in alto vedo ciò che brama il mio cuore. L’infinito cielo blu. Le mie visioni sono blu. I miei occhi sono affamati. La casetta si trova sul ciglio di quello che una volta dev’essere stato un lago. Quando esco in veranda sotto la canicola, l’aria è così bollente che rende tutto sfuocato e ondulato, creando l’illusione che il lago si sia di nuovo riempito d’acqua. Ma il miraggio non riesce ad appagare la mia sete di blu. L’orologio sopra la porta è rotto. Qui il tempo non solo è vecchio – sembra non passi per niente. Eppure aspetto." 'Exodus' ha vinto il secondo premio agli Harland Awards, un prestigioso concorso olandese per racconti fantasy e di fantascienza. È una storia sulla fine del mondo, racconta la storia di una ragazza che cerca disperatamente di lasciare la Terra prima che sia troppo tardi e in cerca della sua redenzione.

Exodus
by Alex LambThe Photurians - a hivemind of sentient AIs and machines - were awakened by humanity as part of a complex political trap. But they broke free, evolved, and now the human race is almost finished. Once we spanned dozens of star systems; now only four remain, and Earth is being evacuated. But the Photes can infect us, and among the thousands rescued from our home world may be enemy agents. Tiny colonies struggle to house the displaced. Our warships are failing. The end of humanity has come. But on a distant planet shielded from both humanity and the Photurians, one hope may still live. The only person who might be able to intervene. The roboteer. He is trapped in a hell of his own making, and does not know he is needed. And so a desperate rescue mission is begun. But can he be reached in time? Or will he be the last remnant of humanity in the universe?

Exodus
by Jen Minkman"Le temps ici est comme un vieillard. Plus ancien que la terre brûlée, craquelée, que les buissons desséchés et que la route poussiéreuse qui zigzague à travers le désert comme un serpent apathique traçant son chemin vers l’horizon, hésitant sous la chaleur. Je ne me souviens plus depuis combien de temps je suis là, mais je me sens exactement comme ce serpent – à jamais sur le chemin d’une destination hors d'atteinte. C’est seulement quand je lève les yeux que je vois ce pour quoi mon cœur languit. Le ciel bleu à l’infini. Mes visions ont cette même couleur. Mes yeux en sont affamés. Le chalet est au bord de ce qui a dû être un jour un lac. Quand je pose un pied dehors et me tiens sous la véranda pendant les heures les plus chaudes du jour, l’air est si chaud qu’il rend tout flou et mouvant, remplissant le lac de quelque chose ressemblant à nouveau à de l’eau. Mais même ce mirage n’arrive pas à étancher ma soif de bleu. L’horloge au-dessus de la porte est cassée. Le temps n’est pas juste lent ici ; il semble ne plus avancer du tout. Et pourtant j’attends." Exodus a gagné la seconde place aux Harland Awards (concours de nouvelles), un prix prestigieux de science-fiction et de littérature fantastique aux Pays-Bas. C'est l'histoire de la fin du monde, d'une adolescente esseulée qui essaie désespérément de quitter la Terre avant qu'il ne soit trop tard, et de sa quête de rédemption. Le jury a parlé en ces termes de Exodus : un profond message d'une grande beauté.

by Peter F. HamiltonExplore EXODUS, a new sci-fi action-adventure RPG coming soon from Archetype Entertainment featured in this epic novel from legendary author Peter F. Hamilton. Forty thousand years ago, humanity fled a dying Earth. Traveling in massive arkships, these brave pioneers spread out across the galaxy to find a new home. After traveling thousands of light-years, one fleet of arkships arrived at Centauri, a dense cluster of stars with a vast array of potentially habitable planets. The survivors of Earth signaled to the remaining arkships that humanity had finally found its new home among the stars. Thousands of years later, the Centauri Cluster has flourished. The original settlers have evolved into advanced beings known as Celestials and divided themselves into powerful Dominions.

As arkships continue to arrive, the remaining humans and their descendants must fight for survival against overwhelming odds or be forced into serving the Crown Dominion. Among those yearning for a better life is Finn, for whom Earth is not a memory but merely a footnote from humanity&’s ancient history. Born on one of the Crown Dominion worlds, Finn has known nothing but the repressive rule of the Celestials, though he dreams of the possibility of boundless space beyond his home. When another arkship from Earth, previously thought lost, unexpectedly arrives, Finn sees his chance to embrace a greater destiny and become a Traveler—one of a group of brave heroes dedicated to ensuring humanity&’s future by journeying into the vast unknown of distant space.

But they are soon under attack from a roving band of plague-immune soldiers. Cut off from the colony, Skyler must wage a one-man war against the new threat as well as murderous subhumans and thugs from Darwin--all while trying to solve the puzzle of the Builders' master plan . . . before it's too late for the last vestiges of humanity.Praise for The Darwin Elevator "[Jason M.] Hough's first novel combines the rapid-fire action and memorable characters associated with Joss Whedon's short-lived Firefly TV series with the accessibility and scientific acumen of J. S. Corey's 'Expanse' series."--Library Journal (starred review) "The best part about alien stories is their mystery, and Jason Hough understands that like no other. Full of compelling characters and thick with tension, The Darwin Elevator delivers both despair and hope along with a gigantic dose of wonder. It's a brilliant debut, and Hough can take my money whenever he writes anything from now on."--Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles "Newcomer Hough displays a talent for imaginative plotting and realistic dialogue, and the brisk pacing and cliffhanger ending will keep readers enthralled and eagerly awaiting the next installment."--Publishers Weekly "Jason M. Hough does a great job with this huge story. The world of Darwin and the Elevator is deliciously complex and satisfying. Skyler, Tania, and all the other characters are delightfully drawn and fun to spend time with. . . . The story unfolds with just the right balance of high adventure, espionage, humor, and emotional truth. . . . As soon as you finish, you'll want more."--Analog "A debut novel unlike any other . . . This is something special. Something iconic. The Darwin Elevator is full of majesty and wonder, mystery and mayhem, colorful characters and insidious schemes."--SF Signal "Fun, action-packed and entertaining . . . a sure contender for science fiction debut of the year!"--Pat's Fantasy Hotlist "Claustrophobic, intense, and satisfying . . . I couldn't put this book down. The Darwin Elevator depicts a terrifying world, suspends it from a delicate thread, and forces you to read with held breath as you anticipate the inevitable fall."--Hugh Howey, New York Times bestselling author of Wool "Hough writes with irresistible energy and gritty realism. His puts his characters through hell, blending a convincing plot with heart-stopping action and moments of raw terror as the world goes crazy in the shadow of unfathomable alien intentions."--Sara Creasy, author of the Philip K. Dick Award-nominated Song of Scarabaeus "A thrilling story right from the first page . . . This book plugs straight into the fight-or-flight part of your brain."--Ted Kosmatka, author of The GamesFrom the Paperback edition.
