Adventure Space Opera

In the stunning continuation of the epic adventure begun in Hyperion, Simmons returns us to a far future resplendent with drama and invention. On the world of Hyperion, the mysterious Time Tombs are opening. And the secrets they contain mean that nothing - nothing anywhere in the universe - will ever be the same.

Over 100,000 years have passed with Star Force growing into a dominant position as rulers of the Rimward half of the galaxy, but lurking in the shadows are threats of old waiting for the right time to strike.

The Rim Consortium brings many surprises to the V'kit'no'sat as their border colonies come under sudden, coordinated attack.

The war that Star Force has always dreaded begins. The V'kit'no'sat have committed the full might of their empire, minus the troops on the Hadarak border, to conquering and absorbing the rogue empire. One way or another, Crusader or Warden, the war with Star Force will end, and the Crusaders intend to prove Mak'to'ran wrong and bring Star Force to heel by force before they can grow into a Uriti-backed power too large to contend with.

Mak'to'ran is summoned by Star Force for a meeting that will forever change their relationship...and one that forces him to reevaluate the war against the humans.

The fracturing of the V'kit'no'sat Empire has now come to fruition, but the full-fledged civil war has not resulted. With the depth of experience and knowledge the dinosaur races have accumulated over the millennia, they know the destructive cost that such devastation would bring, and a conservative warfare methodology breaks out wherein the fighting is over territory while trying to spare lives and as much equipment as possible, so not to weaken the overall empire.

Gaining greater responsibilities, Mak'to'ran continues his push to reforge the V'kit'no'sat empire while uncovering yet another mystery of the past.

The Zak'de'ron take note of the Rit'ko'sor joining Star Force, making contact, and making their wishes known...but in the process, they make a critical mistake that will forever alter their relationship with the trailblazers.

"An astonishing, thought-provoking and above all touching story of found meaning and lost humanity.” —Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time Slow Gods is the galaxy-spanning tale ​of one man's impossible life charted against the fate of humanity...

Both Mak'to'ran and Star Force return to the Sol/Terraxis System, setting up a summit meeting that will irrevocably alter both civilizations going forward. Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to Star Force: Return to Earth and experience the compelling world of this science fiction story.

Changes with the Uriti alter the dynamics of the war against the V'kit'no'sat...and send shockwaves from the galactic rim to Itaru.

As the Warmaster's campaign of galactic domination continues, his generals seek out fresh battlefields to conquer. After leaving the Crone World of Iydris behind, Perturabo strikes for Tallarn. A bitter, vengeful primarch, the lord of the Iron Warriors unleashes a deadly bombardment against the world, killing millions but entrenching the survivors. A brutal, all-consuming armoured conflict ensues, the greatest of the war and one that grinds down all combatants over more than a year of relentless battles.

Removed from the concerns of the galaxy at large and regarding the Warmaster's unfolding Heresy with cold detachment, he has dedicated his hollow existence to the preservation of all the knowledge once held in the great libraries of Tizca, should mankind ever seek such enlightenment again. But his sons can see the change in their primarch - he is a broken soul whose mind and memories are slipping away into the tumult of the warp.

Battle-hardened Captain Ry Devans and his crew of the Mars Orbiting Station-1 are part of a bold plan: resurrect the active molten cores of the Red Planet with synchronized thermonuclear explosions, and terraform the hell out of that iron-oxide rock for future generations. It'll change history. So will the strands of carbon-based Martian cells that have hitched a ride on the ship. Dr. Karen Wagner knows the microbes' resistance to virus is incredible. It's the unknowable that's dicey. Her orders: blow them into space. But orders can be undermined.

The onslaught has begun, and the galaxy must cope with a very slow-moving certainty of its eventual destruction.

As the war to conquer Star Force progresses, the fighting shifts away from the Uriti and space battles to the ground...where planets are won or lost based on the supersized warfare of mechs vs. dinosaurs.

The Origin series is empire-building at its finest, detailing the rise of Star Force from corporate entity into an interstellar empire over the course of more than a millennium. Episodes in this set include Fiddlesticks, Proving Ground, Ghostblade, and Trials.

In the great black void beyond the boundaries of the galaxy itself, Archmagos Kotov's voyage has come to an end. He has found his quarry at last – the resting place of the long-lost Vettius Telok. But Telok yet lives, and as the brave explorators of Kotov's fleet marvel at the wonders laid before them, darker plans unfold. As reality itself is threatened by impossible technologies from the dawn of time, it falls to a small group of heroes to thwart an insane plan that could see the very universe itself annihilated.
