The Unifying Force: Star Wars (The New Jedi Order) (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order - Legends #19)
by James LucenoAt long last, the New York Times bestselling series that launched the Star Wars saga into the next generation and into thrilling new territory reaches its spectacular finale. Side by side, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia Organa Solo, their children, and their comrades in the Galactic Alliance rally for their last stand against the enemy that threatens not only the galaxy, but the Force itself.The Galactic Alliance's hard-won success in countering the Yuuzhan Vong onslaught has proven all too brief--and the tide has turned once more to the invaders' advantage. Having overcome the sabotage strategies of the Jedi and their allies, the marauding aliens have pushed deeper into the galaxy and subjugated more worlds in their ruthless quest for domination. Coruscant has been remade into a Yuuzhan Vong stronghold. The remnants of the resistance are struggling to form a united front. Luke, Mara, and Jacen are missing in action. Clearly the stage is set for endgame. Now, as Han and Leia receive the chilling news that hundreds of high-ranking Galactic Alliance prisoners face slaughter in a sacrifice to the enemy's bloodthirsty gods, Luke and his team try desperately to convince the living world of Zonama Sekot to join the Jedi's final campaign against the Yuuzhan Vong. Yet even as they speak, a lone space station is all that stands between Alliance headquarters on Mon Calamari . . . and wave after wave of ferocious enemy forces waging their most decisive assault.At the same time, the Jedi's alliances throughout the galaxy are being tested--and the chances of victory jeopardized--by rogue factions determined to deploy the lethal weapon that will exterminate the Yuuzhan Vong . . . and perhaps countless other species. And among the Yuuzhan Vong themselves, the threat of revolt has reached a boiling point--as the oppressed underclass and powerful officials alike fear their Supreme Overlord's mad actions will provoke the wrath of the gods.Ultimately, for both the forces of invasion and resistance, too much has been sacrificed --and too much is at stake--to ever turn back. And now, nothing can stand in the way of seizing victory . . . or facing annihilation. Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

by Dani Kollin Eytan KollinThe revolution launched by the unincorporated man comes to an explosive conclusion in this thought-provoking science fiction saga finale.Sandra O’Toole is the president of the Outer Alliance, which stretches from the asteroid belt to the Oort Cloud beyond Pluto. Resurrected following the death of Justin Cord, the unincorporated man, O’Toole has become a powerful political figure and a Machiavellian leader determined to win the civil war against the inner planets at almost any cost. But the war has been going badly, in part because of the great General Trang, a fit opponent for the brilliant J. D. Black. Choices have to be made to abandon some of the moral principles upon which the revolution was founded.

by Dani Kollin Eytan KollinPrometheus Award Winner for Best Novel: “Fans of SF as a vehicle for ideas will devour this intriguing debut.” —Publishers WeeklyIn the wake of complete economic collapse, a reborn civilization has arisen. It is one in which every individual is incorporated at birth, and spends many years trying to attain control over his or her own life by getting a majority of his or her own shares. Life extension has made life very long indeed.Now the incredible has happened: A billionaire businessman named Justin Cord, frozen in secret in the long-ago early twenty-first century, has been discovered and resurrected, given health and a vigorous younger body. Justin is the only unincorporated man in the world, a true stranger in this strange land. He survived because he’s tough and smart. And he cannot accept only part ownership of himself, even if that places him in conflict with a civilization that extends outside the solar system to the Oort Cloud . . .“The clash between today’s cultural values and those of a vividly imagined future has never been more compelling . . . The Kollin brothers’ debut captivates with unforgettable characters and an ingenious vision of the economic future.” —Booklist“A bright, stimulating work that deserves a wide readership.” —Gregory Benford, New York Times–bestselling author of Foundation’s Fear“Reminiscent of Heinlein—a good, old-fashioned, enormously appealing SF yarn.” —Robert J. Sawyer, Nebula Award–winning author of The Downloaded

by Dani Kollin Eytan KollinThe “breathtaking sequel” to the Prometheus Award winner: Exiled from Earth, a revolutionary hero prepares for interplanetary civil war (Booklist).The Kollin brothers introduced their future world, and their character Justin Cord, in their award-winning novel The Unincorporated Man. Justin created a revolution in that book, and is now exiled from Earth to the outer planets, where he is a heroic figure . . . The corporate society that is headquartered on Earth and rules Venus, Mars, and the Orbital colonies wants to destroy Justin and reclaim hegemony over the rebellious outer planets. The first interplanetary civil war begins as the military fleet of Earth attacks.Filled with battles, betrayals, and triumphs, The Unincorporated War is a full-scale space opera that catapults the focus of the earlier novel up and out into the solar system. Justin remains a fighter, both logical and passionate, for the principles that motivate him. He also remains the most dangerous man alive.“Masterful command of multiple plot threads, characters, and the motifs of grand-scale space opera.” —Booklist“Appealing characters, ruthless villains, and speed-of-light pacing make this a good choice for fans of battle-oriented sf and heroic space adventure in the tradition of Robert Heinlein and David Weber.” —Library Journal

The Uninvited
by Lionel FanthorpeIt should have been routine. Nothing could go wrong. The anode and the cathode were behaving perfectly. The meters and dials were recording accurately. A faint effervescence stirred in the chemical solution. There was a subtle change in the speed - the experiment seemed to freeze in its tracks - the stream of gentle bubbles hovered motionless. Something inexplicable was appearing in the solution. The scientist peered harder at the vessel...It couldn't be...It was impossible...It was incredible...but it had happened! A woman's face smiled at him from the depths of the glass tank! But the face was translucent, he could see tank and solution despite its contours. "Hello, Earthman," said the face from Nowhere. He clapped a hand to his forehead and collapsed insensible. When he came to, the experiment was back to normal. What had happened? Was it all in his mind? Or had he really made contact with an alien?

by Adriana González MárquezSalvar al mundo tiene un precio muy elevado... Es hora de pagarlo. La unión es la tercera y última parte de la saga Los dominios del Ónix Negro. Tras haber perdido la segunda piedra a manos de Arématis, los paladines se dan cuenta de que Lylibeth ha sido herida y está en proceso de perder el alma, por lo que debe establecerse una conexión entre Vanessa y ella, aumentando a cuatro el número de paladines conectados entre sí. Gracias a esto, los jóvenes han incrementado sus poderes: cuentan con fuerza y velocidad sobrehumanas y logran escucharse unos a otros a pesar de estar a kilómetros de distancia. Ahora, Vanessa y los demás paladines deberán hallar las dos piedras restantes para hacer frente al malvado Arématis, quien desde que obtuvo el segundo ónix se volvió más poderoso y despiadado que nunca. Por supuesto, la misión no será fácil. Los acertijos son cada vez más complicados y las trampas que protegen a los ónices son más peligrosas. Sólo la unión les dará una posibilidad de salir victoriosos... aunque no saben que el enemigo está más cerca de lo que ellos creen. Fragmento de La unión: "Ésta era mi oportunidad. Tenía que aprovecharla. Saqué una de mis cimitarras y me acerqué lo suficiente como para enterrársela en la espalda, pero fue justo en ese instante que él se volvió hacia mí, levantando el brazo y lanzando una descarga de energía negra que me atravesó el pecho. Nunca había sentido algo así, no podía comparar el dolor con nada de lo que hubiera experimentado antes: ni con golpes, ni con cortes, ni con balazos, ni siquiera con la tortura de la Elevación. Fui capaz de exhalar un último suspiro antes de sentir el momento exacto en que el espíritu abandonaba mi cuerpo, preguntándome si sentiría algo cuando Arématis finalmente devorara mi alma."
