Radium Halos - Parte 1
by W. J. May Laura ForlaniTutti dobbiamo fare gli eroi, ad un certo punto della nostra vita. La cittadina di Elliot Lake non sarà mai più la stessa dopo che, durante un violento temporale, Zoe, studentessa all'ultimo anno delle scuole superiori, e cinque amici si rifugiano in una miniera d'uranio abbandonata. Il giorno seguente l'udito di Zoe si affina drasticamente... fino a raggiungere livelli sovrumani. Ne parla con i suoi amici, solo per scoprire che anche i sensi di quattro di loro si sono incredibilmente sviluppati. Zoe è determinata a usare il suo nuovo potere per fare del bene, mentre cerca di tenere sotto controllo i suoi sentimenti per Kieran, il nuovo ragazzo scozzese del gruppo. Trasformandosi in supereroi, i ragazzi cercano di fermare gli strani eventi che iniziano a verificarsi nella loro cittadina. Aggressioni, rapine, sparizioni e omicidi ormai accadono a pochi passi da casa, portandoli a pensare che qualcuno conosca il loro segreto. Qualcuno che li vuole tutti morti. Un improbabile gruppo di eroi. Un traditore tra di loro. A volte seguire il tuo cuore e il tuo istinto non ti dà le risposte che vuoi.
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."

Raft
by Stephen B. BaxterImagine a universe with a force of gravity a billion times greater than ours. Individual people would be noticeably attracted to each other. Stars would be only a mile across and burn out after only a year. This story starts several centuries after a human spaceship somehow crossed from our universe to the super gravity universe. Some parts of the ship imploded because of the high gravity, but some of the crew survived and live on the remnants. They live, in part, because with the high gravity, the interstellar medium is much denser than in our universe. But, now generations later, fewer stars are forming and spewing out the gases into the interstellar medium that humans need to live. The tech the ship brought is wearing out, the nebula where the ship fell is wearing, the human civilization is wearing out. Is hope durable enough in this bizarre place?
Raft
by Stephen BaxterStephen Baxter's highly acclaimed first novel and the beginning of his stunning Xeelee Sequence finally enters the SF Masterwork series!A spaceship from Earth accidentally crossed through a hole in space-time to a universe where the force of gravity is one billion times as strong as the gravity we know. Somehow the crew survived, aided by the fact that they emerged into a cloud of gas surrounding a black hole, which provided a breathable atmosphere. Five hundred years later, their descendants still struggle for existence, divided into two main groups. The Miners live on the Belt, a ramshackle ring of dwellings orbiting the core of a dead star, which they excavate for raw materials. These can be traded for food from the Raft, a structure built from the wreckage of the ship, on which a small group of scientists preserve the ancient knowledge which makes survival possible. Rees is a Miner whose curiosity about his world makes him stow away on a flying tree - just one of the many strange local lifeforms - carrying trade between the Belt and the Raft. And what he finds will change his world...

Ragamuffin
by Tobias BuckellTHE BENEVOLENT SATRAPY rules 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 a 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. In Ragamuffin, Tobias S. Buckell returns to the fascinating universe he introduced in his spectacular first novel, Crystal Rain.., and changes it forever.
