Prisoners of Power (Best Soviet SF Series)
by Boris Strugatsky Arkady Strugatsky Helen Saltz JacobsonSomeday, far in the future of our planet, "if you are twenty years old, can't do anything well, haven't the vaguest notion of what you want to do ... and are still naive enough to imagine yourself making fabulous discoveries in unexplored space ..." then the IRU--Independent Reconnaissance Unit--will provide you with an alien world for exploration. Just pick up the catalog, open it at random, stab blindly, and set off into the wild blue yonder. If you are lucky circumstances will not leave you stranded. Set on one of these alien worlds, Prisoners of Power paints the grim picture of a civilization that has survived a nuclear holocaust. Everything is dusty, flat, and gray, and the rivers run with radioactivity. Into this bleak, depressing world comes young Maxim, an earthling who--by our standards--possesses highly developed physical, intellectual, emotional, and moral qualities. Stranded, but resourceful, and able to withstand the conditions and treatment that the inhabitants of this randomly chosen island cannot, he gradually learns that this strange world--more like ours than his--needs to be changed. But to change it he must become involved. He must discover the meaning of hatred, ignorance, and cruelty. He must understand the drive for power in both himself and others, and form new bonds of friendship, loyalty, love. Slowly, first as a Robinson Crusoe, then as Legionnaire, Terrorist, Prisoner and finally Earthling, he comes to know the workings of the island, its puppets and its people: the mutants who inhabit the outlying regions, the evil Strannik, his friends Guy, Rada, Zef, Ordi--and eventually even the mystery of the All-Powerful Creators.

Now there's a chance for lasting peace, and just maybe, a promising future together.For the past ten years, war has ravaged the planet of Scicia. The countries of Telesia and Vanden have painted the land with the blood of their people, neither side coming out the clear victor. The recent death of the Vanden Regent has brought his heir to the throne and with it a new chance for peace. That is, if the memories of an illicit love and a false identity do not derail the process first.Vanden Regent, Loden Espacian has waited a long time to claim Rinalda D'Aubry as his bride. Four years before, on a mission to Presari Station, Loden attempted to seduce secrets from the Telesian Chancellor's beautiful daughter. His quest failed when she did not divulge even so much as her family ties and Loden fell helplessly in love. Now, the war has taken a terrible toll on Vanden's resources. With his country on the verge of collapse, Rinalda is within the walls of his palace as the Telesian peace emissary. The only chance for Loden to save his country is to find a way back to Rinalda's good graces and once again win her heart.When Sergeant Rinalda D'Aubry agreed with her father's plan of going to Vanden as the emissary in a peace envoy, she had no idea she'd come face to face with the man she thought was lost to a wartime romance. Dreams of him have sustained her during some of her worst days and nights, fighting in a bloody war of her father's making. The man she remembers was a common foot soldier, not the heir to the Vanden throne. Memories of their passionate lovemaking threatens to ignite the air between them, burning all who stand in the way. Betrayed and humiliated, Rinalda vows to rise above her broken heart to save both countries from destruction before it's too late for redemption. But not before her father's secrets threaten to destroy the fragile peace and the new love growing between Loden and Rinalda, along with the promises of the future they plan to build together.

Prize Ship
by Philip K. DickThe war had been going on for two Terran months, with no sign of a break. The System Senate&’s difficult position came from the fact that Ganymede was the jump-off point between the System and its precarious network of colonies at Proxima Centauri. All ships leaving the System for deep-space were launched from the immense space cradles on Ganymede. There were no other cradles. Ganymede had been agreed on as the jump-off point, and the cradles had been constructed there. The Ganymedeans became rich, hauling freight and supplies in their tubby little ships. Over a period of time more and more Gany ships took to the sky, freighters and cruisers and patrol ships. One day this odd fleet landed among the space cradles, killed and imprisoned the Terran and Martian guards, and proclaimed that Ganymede and the cradles were their property.

Probability Moon (Probability Series #1)
by Nancy KressHumankind has expanded out into interstellar space using star gates-technological remnants left behind by an ancient, long-vanished race. But the technology comes with a price. Among the stars, humanity encountered the Fallers, a strange alien race bent on nothing short of genocide. It's all-out war, and humanity is losing. In this fragile situation, a new planet is discovered, inhabited by a pre-industrial race who experience "shared reality"-they're literally compelled to share the same worldview. A team of human scientists is dispatched-but what they don't know is that their mission of first contact is actually a covert military operation. For one of the planet's moons is really a huge mysterious artifact of the same origin as the star gates . . . and it just may be the key to winning the war.
Probability Space (Probability Series #3)
by Nancy KressNancy Kress cemented her reputation in SF with the publication of her multiple-award-winning novella, "Beggars in Spain," which became the basis for her extremely successful Beggars Trilogy (comprising Beggars in Spain , Beggars and Choosers , and Beggars Ride ). And now she brings us Probability Space , the conclusion of the trilogy that began with Probability Moon and then Probability Sun , which is centered on the same world as Kress's Nebula Award-winning novelette, "Flowers of Aulit Prison. " The Probability Trilogy has already been widely recognized as the next great work by this important SF writer. In Probability Space , humanity's war with the alien Fallers continues, and it is a war we are losing. Our implacable foes ignore all attempts at communication, and they take no prisoners. Our only hope lies with an unlikely coalition: Major Lyle Kaufman, retired warrior; Marbet Grant, the Sensitive who's involved with Kaufman; Amanda, a very confused fourteen-year-old girl; and Magdalena, one of the biggest power brokers in all of human space. As the action moves from Earth to Mars to the farthest reaches of known space, with civil unrest back home and alien war in deep space, four humans--armed with little more than an unproven theory--try to enter the Fallers' home star system. It's a desperate gamble, and the fate of the entire universe may hang in the balance.
