Sedici Tramonti
by Mark Gardner Roberto FellettiKristoff Boyadzhiev e sua moglie conducevano una vita semplice, fino al giorno in cui a Kristoff venne improvvisamente diagnosticato un cancro in fase terminale; gli restavano solo due settimane di vita. Affranto per la notizia e provando un risentimento, da lungo tempo sepolto, nei confronti di gran parte dell'umanità, Kristoff si imbatte in un teppista da strada dotato di superpoteri e viene ucciso; solo che poi scopre di avere lui stesso un potere. Resuscitato più volte appropriandosi, senza accorgersene, della vita e dei poteri delle persone che lo circondano quando muore, Kristoff è combattuto tra la speranza di morire da uomo migliore e la tentazione di usare la sua nuova abilità per portare alla luce oscuri segreti di famiglia, prima che il cancro lo uccida definitivamente. Il suo potere, e la scia di cadaveri che la sua stirpe si è lasciata alle spalle, attira l'attenzione di un detective della polizia di Seattle che indaga su strani episodi verificatisi in città. Ma c'è anche un'agenzia governativa segreta che cerca di mettere le mani su Kristoff e su altri come lui, con l'intento di sfruttare i loro poteri o di guarirli. Kristoff vuole diventare l'eroe che aveva promesso a sua moglie di essere, alla fine, ma prima deve conoscere a ogni costo tutta la verità sul suo passato. Con così tanti altri sul suo cammino, il costo potrebbe essere troppo elevato per morire con un po' di onore; e con due sole settimane di vita, Kristoff non ha tempo per scegliere
Sedition
by E. M. Wright"Fast-paced, clever, and allegorical, this novel considers what makes people human after all. Sedition is powerful because of its social commentary, compelling setting, and unexpected heroine." -Camille-Yvette Welsch, FORWARD REVIEWS She was created for more than slavery; she was built for rebellion. In an alternate Victorian England, clockwork cyborgs provide the primary source of labor for the upper class. Known as biomatons, they are property by law and have been manipulated and mind-controlled into subservience. Taryn Roft, a 17-year-old girl, attending classes at Grafton's School of Mechanicks in London has a secret. What's even worse—she cannot remember anything before her twelfth birthday. When a mysterious privateer discovers her secret, he offers her an ultimatum: accompany him to his airship, or her secret will be revealed to everyone. For Taryn, it's not much of a choice. Facing prejudice and cruelty may be nothing new to the only girl at an all-boys' school, but the further from home she gets, the darker her situation becomes.
Sedna
by Richard L. SmithThe year is 2117. The United World Science Foundation has sanctioned a team of geologists to explore the remote minor planet known as Sedna. About one-half the diameter of Pluto, Sedna orbits twice as faraway from Earth as Pluto is, and at this distance, it receives only weak sunlight and is dark, cold, and forbidding. Discovered in the first decade of the twenty first century, the first astronauts landed on its surface in 2087. This geological team will be the first scientists to explore the surface of this remote icy world. Astronomers have been unable to explain the unusual mass, density, and gravitational attraction measured for such a small dwarf planet. The two hemispheres are dramatically different, one side similar to our moon while the other side is more like the surface of Mars. In 2104, Sedna became the home of the Sedna International Observatory. After years of construction, in 2014 its 30-meter telescope saw first light and immediately began making important discoveries. The seven-year geological mission to Sedna on starship Tesla includes a year to explore and chart the dwarf planet to answer those puzzling geological mysteries. The novel follows these scientists as they journey through our solar system, explore Sedna, and discover “something wonderful” on its surface. Technical problems on their three-year journey home forces unscheduled landings on Triton and Mars yet provides unforgettable opportunities to visit these unique worlds. An unanticipated revelation awaits them upon their return home.
