Space Colony

In the 13th century, Earth is dangerously overcrowded. To reduce the population, people are chosen by lottery and shipped off to the stars to colonize other solar systems. Shiploads of colonists are dropped off on unexplored worlds and left to their own devices. Jorge Leever and Meesha Androva are the only survivors of one such failed attempt to colonize a distant planet. For 20 years, they've been alone, unable to communicate with Earth. Now, another cargo ship arrives....

There's this weird gap in life that's fuelled by cheap tacos and even cheaper tequila - also known as our 20s. It's a specific limbo of being suspended between being a teenager and a 'Proper Adult' and though it's wildly confusing, often lonely, sometimes embarrassing and frequently daunting, there's also a whole lot of magic to be found in the chaos. It's a time when we're finding our own voices, cementing our relationships and starting to fulfil our big ambitions (or simply just working out what they are).

The colony is still recovering from its war with the Vemus, but now they face a new threat. Something is causing a major upheaval among the creatures of New Earth, and the Colonial Defense Force is in trouble. A new discovery sheds light on what happened to the alien race that inhabited New Earth, and their fate may affect whether the colony survives. As the scientists race to unravel the mystery, hordes of super-predators are rushing toward colonial settlements, and Connor must find a way to stop them before all is lost!

Exploring New Earth should be a thrilling undertaking. Instead, the more the colonists learn about the planet, the more alarmed they become. Alien ruins hint at a species who fought great wars among themselves and disappeared centuries ago. When Connor Gates discovers a hidden bunker, he finds something he never expected. Everything the colonists have learned about New Earth’s previous inhabitants is wrong. Connor must race to unravel the mystery. The colonists must face the possibility that they are not alone and that New Earth was never theirs for the taking.

Six months ago, Connor learned what the alien race that populated New Earth feared - a mysterious enemy who nearly brought about the collapse of an entire civilization. To help the colony prepare for this new threat, Connor rejoins the Colonial Defense Force. Using alien technology, Connor opens a gateway to another universe hoping to learn more about the threat. Instead, he receives a colonial distress beacon. Six months ago, they’d left people behind on a mission, all presumed dead. The beacon might be them, or it might be a trap, but Connor will not ignore the call for help.

As Connor secretly searches for the enemy homeworld, he launches clandestine military operations to liberate other worlds in hopes of gaining allies before the enemy can find the last human colony. The humans cannot hope to compete with the enemy’s vast empire, but with the discovery of a new ally, Connor believes their luck has finally changed. Instead, when new allies clash with the old, Connor finds himself caught in the middle. Connor will have to choose whether doing what’s necessary to ensure the colony survives is worth compromising his loyalty to allies close to home.

Vesta Colony has a problem: Aliens are snatching men until they disappear for good. Humanity's defensive forces are stretched too thin to help a distant outpost, and so, the desperate founders, as well as their investors, are given the bad option of recruiting the worst while bribing the rest.

Ian and Mabel are struggling to figure out their place on the Colony Ship Zubalamo. They have escaped some threats, and they think they have found a safe hiding place. Two former members of the ship’s flight crew have befriended them, giving up all links to their previous positions, but that has caused all four of them to be outside of the typical patterns of living on the colony ship. They are unwelcome on the engineering section, or in any of the eight enormous biomes.

They were banishing him from the austere world that was his home; from the people he loved, the place he had lived, and the things he loved to do. He would never see their new city Rubin built.

Die Wahrheit über die genetischen Experimente auf dem Mars ist ans Licht gekommen. Prompt tauchen neue Missionen von der Erde im Orbit des Roten Planeten auf. Die widerstreitenden Fraktionen ringen um die Kontrolle über die neue Technologie. Die überlebenden Kolonisten sind den Neuankömmlingen dabei bloß im Weg - im besten Fall müssen sie als Sklaven und Laborratten herhalten. Schlimmer noch: Die Truppen von der Erde sind gut bewaffnet und bereit, einen Krieg zu entfesseln, um die Macht über die Kolonie und ihre Bewohner an sich zu reißen.

Kann eine Kolonie auf dem Mars überleben, wenn die größte Gefahr auf dem Roten Planeten der Mensch selbst ist? Während eines langen Sandsturms geht der Kontakt zur ersten menschlichen Kolonie auf dem Mars verloren. Satellitenbilder zeigen, dass die Anlage stark beschädigt ist, und die vierundfünfzig Kolonisten, die Colony One ihr Zuhause nannten, gelten als tot. Drei Jahre später landet eine neue Mission auf der Oberfläche des Planeten, um zu untersuchen, was von der verlassenen Anlage übrig geblieben ist. Schnell stellt die Crew fest, dass die Kolonie doch nicht so tot ist, wie alle dachten.

On the derelict colony ship, things are being discovered. What will that mean for the refugees from Dome 17? Will they be helpful in restoring the technology of the Eschaton? Will the Domers finally find a way to repair their high tech equipment? Or will these discoveries lead to more tension between those born on board and the newcomers? Tensions mount as a major crisis happens. Who will survive when old adversaries return to seek retribution? And who will not?

Dr. Jann Malbec, die einzige Überlebende der verunglückten ISA-Mission, ist auf dem Mars gestrandet. Die Erde sieht sie als Gefahr, jede Chance auf Rückkehr bleibt ihr verwehrt. Sie ist allein und isoliert und ist kurz davor, aufzugeben - bis jemand in der Hauptluftschleuse der Kolonie auftaucht. Der vollkommen entkräftete Fremde stirbt in ihren Armen. Dr. Malbec beginnt sich zu fragen, was da draußen vor sich geht, denn außer ihr dürfte es keine Überlebenden geben.

Something mysterious is happening. The giant colony Ship Eschaton is in the midst of its generations-long journey to another solar system. But in Habitat One: Coastal Plains, two strange bodies have been found. There are rumors of a lurking visitor. Is anyone safe? The artificial intelligence systems still are not functioning as expected. Now more then ever, the AIs are needed. The people born on the ship as well as the refugees from Dome 17 are struggling to survive, and to learn more about the huge colony ship and its various habitats. But what do these mysteries mean?

Seven hundred fifty years ago, human colonists left Earth and settled on the moons of the distant gas giant Ghara. Civilization has flourished on Ghara's fertile moons, but humanity's drive to colonize and explore is still strong. Detecting plentiful mineral resources and a rich abundance of alien life on the nearby planet of Selva, the Gharian Colonists mount a dangerous expedition

The ends justify the means - except when humanity’s survival is on the line. Earth’s landscape lies scorched by weapons fire after the most recent round of alien attacks. The technology the Mozari left behind has advanced scientific understanding at breakneck speeds, giving humanity the chance to fight back against their Gresian foes. Spaceworthy vessels and all-new weaponry are pumped out of orbiting factories, boarded by the brightest minds to begin colonizing new planets. But humanity is still vulnerable. The return of the Gresians isn’t just inevitable. It’s imminent.

The Colony Ship Vanguard was one of seven colony ships launched from a damaged Earth in a desperate plan to carry human settlers to Earth equivalent worlds. The voyages would take generations, and the people on board, as well as the flora and fauna in huge biological habitats had to be stable. But something happened on the way. Now, over one hundred years later, Earth is all but dead. People survive only in Dome 17.

“Simultaneously brutally grounded and wildly imaginative.” —Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award winner A tense and thrilling vision of humanity’s future in the chilling emptiness of space from rising giant in science fiction, Arthur C. Clarke Award winner Tade Thompson The colony...

As the Odyssey inches closer to its final destination, Captain Aria Thompson faces an unthinkable crisis. Her crew is fractured—some want to return to a now-revived Earth, while others are desperate to complete the mission. And then there’s Oracle—the ship’s AI, silent for decades, now manipulating systems, whispering through the ship, and slowly, secretly seizing control.

As the gargantuan multi-generational colony ship plows through space, many light years away from the dead home world, Ian believes that his partner, Mabel, is still alive. Despite the official reports of her death, Ian will seek to find her. Yet, the strange biomes are a challenge, and the only friends he has are a strong-willed, youthful cadet who has abandoned her post, and two artificial intelligence systems. Those AIs must work covertly, and that makes all of them fugitives.
