Radio Freefall
by Matthew JarpeIn the tradition of Robert A. Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress but with a healthy dose of cyberpunk: Radio Freefall is about a plot to take over the Earth by power-mad, sociopathic computer-geek billionaire, Walter Cheeseman. It's up to a strange cast of rock stars and oddballs to stop him.Aqualung, a mysterious blues musician who also has superhuman tech skills, might be the catalyst for the resistance--or he might just be the pawn of artificial intelligences.To thwart the takeover, the orbitals and the moon colonies secede from Earth. And then something like the Singularity happens, but no one is quite sure.This is a novel of cyberpunk and rock and roll, of technology, artificial intelligence, and wild riffs off of Heinlein all mixed into an explosive debut.Matthew Jarpe launches his SF career with a bang!At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Radioactive (The Atlas of Cursed Places)
by Vanessa ActonEvery year Zack and his family spend a week at a Pacific island getaway. The ocean is beautiful, the town is quaint, and the people are easygoing. It's a great place to relax. So why do the locals seem so tense this year? There's definitely trouble in paradise when a tourist goes missing. Local legend has it that the locale is cursed since nuclear testing there in the 1950s. It sounds like fiction, but is it?

Radioactive - Gli espulsi
by Maya Shepherd Elisabetta De MartinoDopo la terza guerra mondiale la Terra è un campo di macerie. Gli ultimi sopravvissuti si sono barricati in zone di sicurezza per proteggersi dalle radiazioni. La sopravvivenza necessita di regole e leggi molto rigide. Non esiste né proprietà, né libero arbitrio, sono i capi della legione a prendere tutte le decisioni. In questo mondo non c'è spazio per i sentimenti. Le persone funzionano più che vivere, per questo sono identificate da codici anziché nomi. D518 è una di loro. Nata in questo mondo in rovina, non ha mai conosciuto nulla di diverso. La sua vita cambia bruscamente quando viene rapita dagli oppositori del regime. Tutto ciò in cui ha sempre creduto si rivela una menzogna.

Todo en lo que había creído hasta ahora resulta ser una mentira.

Cleo sarà costretta a decidere il destino di Finn: consentire alla legione di cancellare i suoi ricordi o condannarlo a morte...

In die wereld is geen plaats voor gevoelens. De mensen leven alleen om te funtioneren en daarom hebben ze nummers in plaats van namen. D 518 is een van hen. Geboren in deze vernielde wereld heeft ze nooit iets anders als dit door controle gekenmerkte leven leren kennen. Dat verandert op slag als ze door tegenstanders van de regering ontvoerd wordt. Alles waar ze tot dan toe in geloofd heeft blijk een leugen te zijn

Radix
by A. A. AttanasioAt the end of the twentieth century, the Earth entered the Line, a beam of radiant energy from a distant black hole. In the aura of this strange power, the Earth was altered forever. Humanity distorted into a variety of forms. Reality as we know it collapsed, opening into a greater consciousness. Ancient, timeless beings incarnated themselves in human flesh, endowing it with unimaginable power. Into this twilight age a youth was born who was destined to transform the future of humankind. At first a frightened, rebellious teenager, he was forged into a brutal warrior in a harrowing rite of passage. A wanderer for a time among a tribe of outcasts, he began to discover his humanity. At last, he was forced to turn against those who made him to unleash the godlike powers he held.
Radix: Radix Tetrad: Book 1 (Radix)
by A.A. AttanasioIn a vastly changed world, thirteen centuries from now, Sumner Kagan searches the earth to find the godmind, a malicious being with reality-shaping powers. In this strange and beautiful world - eerily alien, yet hauntingly familiar - Kagan will change from an adolescent outcast to a warrior with god-like abilities and, in the process, take us on an epic and transcendent journey.Author's Note: The volumes of this series can each be read independently of the others. The feature that unifies them is their individual observations of science fiction's sub-genre: "space opera," which the editors David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer define as "colorful, dramatic, large-scale science fiction adventure, competently and sometimes beautifully written, usually focused on a sympathetic, heroic central character and plot action, and usually set in the relatively distant future, and in space or on other worlds, characteristically optimistic in tone. It often deals with war, piracy, military virtues, and very large-scale action, large stakes."

by W. J. MayWie stark musst du an deinem Stammbaum schütteln, bis die Wahrheit über deine Vergangenheit herunterfällt? Die 15-jährige Rae Kerrigan kannte ihre Vergangenheit bisher nicht wirklich.

Während Rae neue Freunde sucht, mit der neuen Schule kämpft und sich Hals über Kopf verliebt, muss sie auch noch mit einer allumfassenden Veränderung klarkommen: An ihrem sechzehnten Geburtstag wird sie ein Tattoo erhalten, das ihr besondere Kräfte verleiht und sie wahrscheinlich an eine unaussprechliche Dunkelheit bindet. Es liegt an Rae, das Böse in der Vergangenheit ihrer Familie wieder gut zu machen, und ein Hoffnungsstrahl für die Zukunft zu sein.
