Im Jahr 2265 befindet sich in der Taurus-Ausdehnung, einem unbekannten Terrain nahe der tholianischen Grenze, die Raumbasis 47 - auch Vanguard genannt. Commodore Reyes soll die fremde Weltraumregion kolonisieren. Aber die Ausdehnung birgt ein altes Geheimnis. Die Spannungen zwischen dem Tholianischen und dem Klingonischen Reich nehmen zu: Schiffe der Großmächte werden von einem ominösen Feind angegriffen, sodass beide Fraktionen eine Verschwörung des anderen vermuten.

Uralte Geheimnisse liegen auf dem vierten Planeten des Jinoteur-Systems, drei Rivalen kämpfen um ihre Kontrolle: Die Föderation und das Klingonische Imperium wollen sie für ihre Zwecke einsetzen, die Tholianische Versammlung sie vernichten. Aber die Bedrohung auf der entfernten Welt ist gefährlicher als die Völker zunächst annehmen.

Imaginez une étoile avoisinant sept dixièmes de masse solaire... Si vous levez les yeux, il se peut que vous aperceviez son éclat blanc-jaune sur la face antérieure du bras spiral d'Orion, à sept mille parsecs du centre galactique. Le système de Grnc.mld1 compte six planètes : cinq telluriques et une gazeuse. De ces six planètes, Garance est la seule qui évolue dans la zone d'habitabilité.

Sechs geklonten Wissenschaftlern ist es gelungen, an Bord eines Raumschiffs eine künstliche Intelligenz zu erzeugen. Diese KI, ausgestattet mit gottgleichen Fähigkeiten, hat das Schiff und die Kolonisten darin sicher zum Planeten Pandora gebracht. Doch Pandora ist alles andere als ein Paradies: die Atmosphäre ist giftig, die Lebewesen tödlich – und inmitten all dieser Gefahren scheint die Schiffs-KI den Verstand verloren zu haben und wendet sich jetzt gegen die Siedler.

He just needs a few things to make it fully operational...and now, ordered to aid the scientist, the Temerarious is targeted by two rival black-ops teams intent on reacquiring Thales.

Los Rujarras atacaron el Día de Colón. Habíamos navegado con inocencia por el cosmos en nuestra pequeña canica azul, como si fuéramos nativos americanos en 1492. Varias naves aparecieron en el horizonte, representantes de una cultura agresiva y avanzada y, ¡zas!, los viejos días en los que los humanos nos matábamos unos a otros se fueron por el desagüe—en el Día de Colón. Tiene sentido.

On Earth, Los Angeles becomes the battleground for two mega-corporations that will stop at nothing to get their hands on the strange material. Meanwhile, as she races towards Ganymede, astronaut Rachel Ferreira discovers that the biggest threat to the ship and her team is not awaiting ahead out in space, but is right under their own feet. As the satellite images received from Ganymede get stranger and stranger, Rachel and Theodore each find themselves in a race against time.

A corporate aristocracy descended from Africa rules a colony on a distant planet. Life here is easy—for the rarified and privileged few.

Liza Pound is feeling the bullseye on her back. But does she really know how big it actually is? The foxes have put a serious bounty on her head. And they want it, literally, in someone's freezer.

When deep-space travel altered the genes of the first interstellar colonists, Earth abandoned them. But some of the colonies survived, and a new civilization of mental and physical “Variants” has been established, centered around clusters of space stations known as the outworlds. Now the unthinkable has happened: a suicide assault has destroyed the life support system of a major waystation. All that is known about the young men responsible is that in their last living moments they were receiving messages from an uninhabited sector of space and were playing a virtual reality game.

Calista is happy with her life of scientific research. She doesn't need love, she has her books, her friends, and her work. Things are fine until her ship is attacked by space pirates and crash lands on a desert planet with heat so intense she and her friends can't survive without help. Ladon is a Zmaj warrior resigned to a life alone, who only desires to protect his treasures. His hopes for a mate faded long ago, yet when he meets Calista something stirs. It takes only one look to know that she belongs to him.

Light-years from home, it’s Ira’s second chance. Just another anonymous student at a space station university. Not the orphan whose Earther heritage was erased. Not some social experiment put on display by his adoptive father. Not the criminal recruited by the human rebels. But when Ira’s loyalties clash once again, two wars break out: one on the ground and one within himself. Which will Ira stand with? Which will take him down?

When Lee Anderson and her parents discovered a new world teeming with life, it was the dream of every explorer: they were rich beyond their imaginations. But tragedy struck when a herd of creatures overran their camp and killed her parents. The only other adult in her life had been their partner Gordon, who adopted her as parent. Which didn't turn out to be easy, because he wasn't human. He was a large intelligent alien, and to Lee, he was Uncle Gordon, but neither his race - the Derf - nor humans were gracious about accepting their family relationship.

The only hope for mankind is Project Orpheus, an unprecedented initiative on the part of the allied governments to enable human life to continue on Kepler-442b, a planet over a thousand light years from Earth. Two spaceships are under construction, which will leave for that remote solar system with a specialized crew to terraform the planet and make it habitable. Steven Rhodes, the director of Project Orpheus, will travel in the first of them. His daughter Emily, a specialist technician in Artificial Intelligence, will follow on the second ship, five years later.

Tanis Richards has spent half her life on the Intrepid, guiding the great colony ship, and its two million passengers, across hundreds of light-years. She has risked life, limb, and those dearest to her to get this far. Now she's within reach of her goal; the New Canaan System, and a normal, stable life. The kind she's only dreamed about. The only remaining hurdle is to strike a deal with the Transcend Alliance and trade the Intrepid's advanced technology for the star system. If only things were so easy.
