Zenith-D
by John Glasby Paul LorraineTo the crew of the Exploratory Ship Canopus, outward bound on the first intergalactic voyage to the flaring suns of mighty Andromeda, the evil whisperings that spilled out from the nebula into deep space came as a warning. This was something far beyond their previous experience. Nor were they the only ones to come under the malignant influence of the alien intelligence. In the empty, murmuring void, virtually half-way between the two galaxies of stars, a solitary sun streaked away from Andromeda, dragging its lonely, ammonia-laden planet with it. And it was here that the explorers first gained their glimpse of the black horror that lay straddled across the intergalactic darkness. Something that had being. Something that existed where it seemed impossible that anything could. It fell on Klau-Telph, the only non-Terran on board the Canopus, to finally track down and destroy the inhuman monster that threatened to drive the inhabitants of a trillion planets over the red edge of madness. Not until it was done did he find that the hidden reason behind the insidious whisperings was not what it seemed. In fact, it was something that even he, with his strange double mind, had never thought possible...

Zenith - El Proyecto Interescisión: primer libro
by Arshad Ahsanuddin Carlos Bermejo Pérez¿Y si pudieras cambiar la historia? ¿Y si alguien ya lo hubiera hecho? Obligado a quedarse en tierra después de que un intento de rescate en la órbita terrestre saliera mal, el comandante Martin Atkins de la Marina Confederada recibe una oferta del Proyecto Interescisión, un consorcio de corporaciones civiles que está a punto de perfeccionar la tecnología que permitirá viajar a otro sistema estelar. A pesar de sus reticencias, la oportunidad de volver a sentarse en el asiento del piloto de una nave es demasiado tentadora como para dejarla pasar y convence a su mejor amigo y compañero de tripulación, Charles Davenport, para que deje por un tiempo el ejército y se una a él a bordo de la Zenith, la primera nave estelar creada por la humanidad. Edward Harlen es un joven ingeniero brillante y una de las piezas clave en la construcción de la Zenith y la instalación del innovador reactor de plegado espacio-temporal. Sin embargo, Edward tiene sus propios motivos para unirse al proyecto. Tiene una deuda pendiente con su jefe, Trevor Sutton, una sed de venganza que su superior desconoce. Cuando la hermana de Edward, Stella, entra en escena y se asegura un puesto en el proyecto, todo el plan que había elaborado meticulosamente se desmorona. Stella podría arruinar no solo el ardid de Edward, sino toda la misión de la Zenith. Para complicarlo todo, la chispa de atracción que salta entre Edward y Martin es algo que no se puede permitir, pero que tampoco puede ignorar. Edward sabe el secreto que se esconde tras el Proyecto Interescisión; el potencial oculto de una tecnología que, en las manos equivocadas, podría convertirse en el arma definitiva: la habilidad de volver a escribir la historia, no solo una vez, sino todas las que se desee. Cuando un enemigo oculto se pone en marcha para destruirles y la lista de víctimas se multiplica, Martin y Edward tendrán que elegir entre dejar que el amor dicte sus destinos o alzarse en a
