Shadow, Marcus, and their friends made it to Earth, but they still have a food problem. Earthling blood isn't palatable, and they only have a two-month supply of bloodbags. Marcus must find a way to distill Earthling blood and create a long-term food supply that will feed them and their growing vampire families while not alerting the humans to their presence.

Naturwissenschaft leicht erzählt. Die Schwerkraft kann man mit einer Pfannkuchentorte erklären und die Relativitätstheorie mit dem Bauch einer dicken Katze. Klingt irre? Ist es auch! Vor allem, weil es funktioniert. Mit Begeisterung erzählt Johan Olsen vom Urknall über die Entstehung des Lebens bis zum Menschen. Er erklärt Atome, Relativitätstheorie, Moleküle und Proteine, also was man alles braucht um eine Welt zu erschaffen mittels humorvoller Veranschaulichungen - und warum der Mensch vielleicht doch nicht die Krone der Schöpfung ist.

2012 - Mankind steps onto the moon's surface for the second time. Three hundred years later, mankind has colonized several planets within our solar system. But the time of prosperity and growth is about to come to an end. Alien forces begin invading the solar system, leaving nothing in their wake.

Decades have passed since the war ended and the United Systems of Earth have expanded further into the Cluster, setting up colonies on nearly every planet charted. But a new threat is growing, and when several colonies are attacked, the USES Dauntless is ordered to investigate.

Jane is the only person left on the planet, minding the only business left: a gift shop. She wasn’t born on Earth, but her ancestors were; they lived there before the AI in charge of geoengineering failed and the oceans got too hot to sustain the terrestrial food web and before humans took off to colonize other planets. She’s heading to college on Jupiter in the fall of 3020, so her days on the home planet—selling “American Epoch” postcards, “History: The Poster!” and “War: The Soundtrack” to tourists from the suburbs of Europa—are numbered.

As end-of-the-world scenarios go, an apocalyptic collision with an asteroid or comet is the new kid on the block, gaining respectability only in the last decade of the 20th century with the realization that the dinosaurs were wiped out by just such an impact. Now the science community is making up for lost time, with worldwide efforts to track the thousands of potentially hazardous near-Earth objects and plans for high-tech hardware that could deflect an incoming object from a collision course.

"They landed in California, in Sequoia National Park. See Blake over there,” Jasmin looked to where a group where locked in a heated discussion in the large board room. “They are deciding what to do. Houston is involved and NASA, and the military, and everyone, really.” “Hold on! This is my discovery!” Jasmin shouted. Why had they left her sleeping? She had spotted the aliens first. Now they had landed, and she had missed it.
