Два наемника заняты поимкой хакера-террориста. Он знает, как запустить ядерные ракеты, но не хочет, чтобы во взрывах погибли люди. Чего же он хочет?

С момента энергетического коллапса, когда Ближний Восток поглотило постядерное запустение, в США начали перестраивать экономику, сделав ее независимой от нефтяных ресурсов. Через два поколения мегаполисы существовали за счет атомной энергии. Но маленькие поселения оказались «за бортом» и им приходилось довольствоваться естественными ресурсами — водой и ветром. Главной героине рассказа Маре надоела такая жизнь. Она мечтает увидеть залитый электрическим светом город. И чтобы исполнить свою мечту, ей надо попасть на борт корабля «Зефир», который является связующим звеном между провинцией и крупными городами.

Герою рассказа предстоит стать первым карибским астронавтом, испытателем ракетоплана, стартующего с воздушной, поддерживаемой дирижаблем платформы — не первой в мире, но первой, созданной островным государством. Не все поддерживают этот проект, но герой в него верит — вот только с дредами, привычным символом его национальной принадлежности, придётся расстаться. Они не поместятся в гермошлем...

In the first, desperate days of the Human-Covenant War, the UNSC has enacted the Cole Protocol to safeguard Earth and its Inner Colonies from discovery by a merciless alien foe. Many are called upon to rid the universe of lingering navigation data that would reveal the location of Earth. Among them is Navy Lieutenant Jacob Keyes. Thrust back into action after being sidelined, Keyes is saddled with a top secret mission by ONI. One that will take him deep behind enemy lines, to a corner of the universe where nothing is as it seems.
Out beyond the Outer Colonies lies the planet Hesiod, a gas giant surrounded by a vast asteroid belt. As the Covenant continues to glass the human occupied planets near Hesiod, many of the survivors, helped by a stronghold of human Insurrectionists, are fleeing to the asteroid belt for refuge. They have transformed the tumbling satellites into a tenuous, yet ingenious, settlement known as the Rubble - and have come face-to-face with a Covenant settlement of Kig-Yar... yet somehow survived.
News of this unlikely treaty has spread to the warring sides. Luckily for the UNSC, this uneasy alliance is in the path of the Spartan Gray Team, a three-man renegade squad whose simple task is to wreak havoc from behind enemy lines in any way they see fit. But the Prophets have also sent their best - an ambitious and ruthless Elite, whose quest for nobility and rank is matched only by his brutality... and who will do anything to secure his Ascendancy and walk the Path.

Люди уже привыкли к безопасности, уже забыли об угрозе из космоса. Но неожиданно в их новый дом вторгаются захватчики... Эти жестокие завоеватели, именующие себя теотлями, уничтожают сотни тысяч людей, требуя выдать им одного - Джона де Брана. Помощь колонисты находят у исконных врагов и соперников теотлей - лоа.

Khaim, The Blue City, is the last remaining city in a crumbled empire that overly relied upon magic until it became toxic. It is run by a tyrant known as The Jolly Mayor and his devious right hand, the last archmage in the world. Together they try to collect all the magic for themselves so they can control the citizens of the city. But when their decadence reaches new heights and begins to destroy the environment, the people stage an uprising to stop them.

In four interrelated parts, The Tangled Lands is an evocative and epic story of resistance and heroic sacrifice in the twisted remains surrounding the last great city of Khaim. Paolo Bacigalupi and Tobias Buckell have created a fantasy for our times about a decadent and rotting empire facing environmental collapse from within--and yet hope emerges from unlikely places with women warriors and alchemical solutions.

The Benevolent Satrapy rule an empire of forty-eight worlds, linked by thousands of wormholes strung throughout the galaxy. Human beings, while technically "free," mostly skulk around the fringes of the Satrapy, struggling to get by. The secretive alien Satraps tightly restrict the technological development of the species under their control. Entire worlds have been placed under interdiction, cut off from the rest of the universe.

Descended from the islanders of lost Earth, the Ragamuffins are pirates and smugglers, plying the lonely spaceways around a dead wormhole. For years, the Satraps have tolerated the Raga, but no longer. Now they have embarked on a campaign of extermination, determined to wipe out the unruly humans once and for all.

But one runaway woman may complicate their plans. Combat enabled, Nashara is more machine than flesh, and she carries inside her a doomsday weapon that could reduce the entire galaxy to chaos. A hunted fugitive, she just wants to get home before she's forced to destroy civilization---and herself.
