Kobayashi Maru (Star Trek: Enterprise)
by Andy Mangels Michael A. MartinTo protect the cargo ships essential to the continuing existence of the fledgling Coalition of Planets, the captains of the United Earth's Starfleet are ordered to interstellar picket duty, with little more to do than ask "Who goes there?" into the darkness of space. Captain Jonathan Archer of the Enterprise seethes with frustration, wondering if anyone else can see what he sees. A secret, closed, militaristic society, convinced that their survival hangs by a thread, who view their neighbors as a threat to their very existence -- the Spartans of ancient Greece, the Russians of the old Soviet Union, the Koreans under Kim Il-sung -- with only one goal: attain ultimate power, no matter the cost. The little-known, never-seen Romulans seem to live by these same principles. The captain realizes that the bond between the signers of the Coalition charter is fragile and likely to snap if pushed. But he knows that the Romulans are hostile, and he believes they are the force behind the cargo ship attacks. If asked, Archer can offer no proof without endangering his friend's life. To whom does he owe his loyalty: his friend, his world, the Coalition? And by choosing one, does he not risk losing all of them? What is the solution to a no-win scenario?

by Keith YatsuhashiEvery civilization has its myths. Only one is true.When eighteen year old Keiko Yamada's father dies unexpectedly, he leaves behind a one way ticket to Japan, an unintelligible death poem about powerful Japanese spirits and their gigantic, beast-like Guardians, and the cryptic words: "Go to Japan in my place.

Koko Takes a Holiday
by Kieran SheaFive hundred years from now, ex-corporate mercenary Koko Martstellar is swaggering through an early retirement as a brothel owner on The Sixty Islands, a manufactured tropical resort archipelago known for its sex and simulated violence. Surrounded by slang-drooling boywhores and synthetic komodo dragons, the most challenging part of Koko's day is deciding on her next drink. That is, until her old comrade Portia Delacompte sends a squad of security personnel to murder her.
Koko Uncaged
by Kieran SheaThe third and final instalment in the fast-paced kick-ass Koko trilogy described by Booklist as "[A] futuristic wild ride... Great fun". Surviving job loss, an unsettled vendetta, a submarine wreck, heartbreak, and mortal carnage on a tokusatsu scale, Koko P. Martstellar (ex-corporate mercenary and saloon/brothel owner) is trying to reassemble what's left of her life. Being hired to protect global industrialist Bogart Gong seems like as good a place to start as any, but bodyguard work isn't the cakewalk Koko thought it'd be. Throw in some autocratic malfeasance, a hatchet man with a flair for the dramatic, a South American despot, lovers back from the grave, and a high-speed race at a prison, and you've a brain-melting cocktail of cyberpunk satire that's impossible to put down.
Koko the Mighty
by Kieran SheaWith an outstanding Ultimate Sanction bounty still on her head, Koko Martstellar (ex-mercenary and saloon madam extraordinaire) and Jedidiah Flynn (former orbital sky-cop) have narrowly escaped death in paradise. Rescued during a storm, Koko and Flynn are taken in by what amounts to a self-sufficient outlander cult. To save Flynn's life, Koko barters her warrior skills and assists the de-civ group in fending off their most imminent threat: a horde of genetic-mutant raiders. However, even with the group's foes bested and their idealist lifestyle somewhat enticing, being among the outlander de-civs doesn't sit well with Koko. In spite of the de-civ group's hospitality and Flynn's arguing that they have it pretty good, Koko suspects something is amiss. People within the outlander group's interlocking compounds keep disappearing with flimsy explanations--people like the girl who died on the cliff before Koko and Flynn's rescue--and soon the group's leadership assesses Koko as a threat to their secret agenda. As the mystery unfolds, Koko's limits and loyalties--perhaps even her love for Flynn--will be tested. And as if that isn't enough, bounty agent Wire has managed to track down Koko and, after a little politicking, is preparing to lead an army of genetic-mutant raiders in a last-man-standing battle against the cult . . .

by Lois Mcmaster BujoldUna de las mejores sagas de aventuras de ciencia ficción. Galardonada con cuatro premios Hugo, dos Nebula, dos Locus y un Analog. Komarr se convertirá en un jardín... dentro de unos mil años o más. O no dejará de ser el inhóspito, peligroso e inhabitable lugar que todavía es, si el proceso de terraformación fracasa. Un accidente ha averiado el espejo solar, elemento vital para el proceso de terraformación, y el emperador Gregor de Barrayar envía a su nuevo auditor imperial, lord Miles Vorkosigan, para descubrir qué ha ocurrido. Pero Komarr todavía recuerda la matanza que ordenara el padre de Miles y maldice el odiado nombre de Vorkosigan. En las claustrofóbicas cúpulas de Komarr, el peligro acecha con posibles secuestros, víctimas inocentes o no y, tal vez, terroristas rebeldes que pretenden independizarse definitivamente de Barrayar. Reseñas:«Una satisfactoria mezcla de la más intrigante aventura, comentarios sociopolíticos, experimentos científicos y peligros potenciales. Y esta vez con el añadido de un romance.»Locus

In the political and physical claustrophobia of the domed cities, are the Komarrans surrounding Miles loyal subjects, potential hostages, innocent victims, or rebels bidding for revenge? Lies within lies, treachery within treachery-Miles is caught in a race against time to stop a plot that could exile him from Barrayar forever. His burning hope lies in an unexpected ally.
