Her Majesty's American: Her Majesty's American, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 441min
The union jack takes to space! All-new alternate history science fiction from New York Times best-selling author Steve White. In an alternate future where the British empire never crumbled, the spaceships of Her Majesty’s Navy work to keep the spaceways safe. Commander Robert Rogers of the Royal Space Navy is a defense intelligence officer known for his unconventional ways. Rogers is American born and raised, a loyal citizen of the Viceroyalty of North America. He’s a descendant of the founder of the highly effective, pro-British Rogers’ Rangers during the Colonial unpleasantries of 1776, and he’s inherited his ancestor’s intelligence and drive in spades. But there are those among the stars who are not so happy being subjects of the British Empire. In the Tau Ceti system, a cauldron of trouble brews as a terrorist faction of the rebellious Sons of Arnold attacks the empire from within, and warships of the theocratic Caliphate enter the system, prepared to do their worse to destroy the hated empire head-on. Yet standing against the coming anarchy and tyranny is one intrepid spy prepared to risk all for queen and empire: Commander Robert Rogers, her majesty’s American. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Il libro italiano (eBook, ePUB)
Il volume, che contiene una serie di articoli sullo stato dell'editoria degli anni Venti, è considerato l'opera più eloquente e significativa di Aldo Sorani, autore e giornalista, collaboratore di numerosi periodici di inizio Novecento. In esso si intrecciano una serie di argomenti differenti, che offrono un quadro dinamico e multiforme della situazione editoriale e sociale dell'Italia tra le due guerre mondiali e che vanno dal ruolo degli editori, alle caratteristiche e alla formazione di un nuovo pubblico, alle librerie e biblioteche, alla creazione di moderne strutture finalizzate all'accentramento di capitali, fino alle potenziali minacce rappresentate dall'invenzione di nuove tecnologie provenienti da oltreoceano, all'arte tipografica e al suo rapporto con la società dei consumi. Non trascura, infine, il ruolo dell'innovazione nell'arduo compito della diffusione libraria, dalle mostre bibliografiche all'introduzione di nuove tecniche di vendita, senza mai perdere di vista la costante e urgentissima vexata quaestio di inizio del Ventesimo secolo: quella della diffusione libraria tra i ceti meno abbienti della società. Mai ripubblicato dopo la prima edizione uscita dalla sapiente officina di Bertieri e Vanzetti nel 1925, vede ora la luce in una raffinata veste editoriale e con l'introduzione di Francesco Ursino.- Shop: buecher

Predators of Eden: Horizon Alpha, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 314min
There's plenty of jet fuel for the imagination. The pace is fast, the stakes are high, and the safety of no one is guaranteed. (John Burris, author of Brothers) “We never would have come here if we’d known.” Two hundred years ago, the great Ark Horizon Alpha escaped a doomed Earth and went searching for a new home. The passengers landed on Tau Ceti e expecting paradise, but instead they discovered a planet stuck in its own version of the cretaceous period. The humans’ one defense against the dinosaurs ravaging the planet is an electric fence, built from the remains of the shuttles that brought them there. But Eden base has only days of power left. With most of the adult men dead, rookie soldier Caleb Wilde and his unit of teenage boys leave the electric fences of Eden in search of a reactor core lost deep in the jungle. The last remnant of the human race waits behind the electric fence for their return. The dinosaurs wait, too - for the electricity to die and the feast to begin."I've often dreamt of trying to survive on a new planet and pitting myself against nature. My dreams were never this chilling, nor the ending as thrilling. I highly recommend this high energy adventure and would place it between Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clark." (Reid Minnich, author of Koinobi trilogy) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jay Benson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/157030/bk_acx0_157030_sample.mp3.

On a generation ship bound for a distant star, one engineer-in-training must discover the secrets at the heart of the voyage in this new sci-fi novel. It's been over a century since three generation ships escaped an Earth dominated by artificial intelligence in pursuit of a life on a distant planet orbiting Tau Ceti. Now, it's nearly Braking Day, when the ships will begin their long-awaited descent to their new home.

As his visions of the girl grow more frequent, Ravi is faced with a choice: secure his family's place among the elite members of Archimedes' crew or risk it all by pursuing the mystery of the floating girl. With the help of his cousin, Boz, and her illegally constructed AI, Ravi must investigate the source of these strange visions and uncovers the truth of the Archimedes' departure from Earth before Braking Day arrives and changes everything about life as they know it.- Shop: buecher

Braking Day (eBook, ePUB)
Interstellar Vehicle Archimedes has been hurtling through space for more than five generations, an oasis of heat and light in the middle of absolutely nowhere. But now the ageing starship is preparing to brake, for it is arriving at Destination Star: Tau Ceti, the new home for the space-born descendants of the First Crew.For trainee engineer Ravinder MacLeod, the world he knows is coming to an end. Once Archimedes succumbs to the gravitational pull of the Destination Star and its (hopefully) habitable planet, there will be no going back - or anywhere else. As Braking Day approaches, Ravi finds himself caught between the rigid requirements of the officer class to which he aspires and his blue-collar, ne'er-do-well family. Unfortunately for Ravi, Boz, his brilliant ex-con cousin, seems determined to make his life difficult - not least by her experiments with forbidden technology.Then Ravi is assigned to routine maintenance deep in the massive engines of the Archimedes, where, alone and out of contact, he comes face to face with something impossible - mind-breakingly impossible.Plagued by nightmares and visions and worried that his grip on reality is slipping, Ravi turns to Boz for help. Their search for answers takes them to the jagged place where the ship's future intersects with its long past. For not everyone is excited to be reaching journey's end, and the ghosts of the First Crew may not have been fully laid to rest.- Shop: buecher
