Sinopsis:

Mankind has reached the stars. Now we are trying to unravel the heart of the universe, but all discoveries are dangerous and some mysteries might be safest left unexplored…

This novel is a stand-alone story which takes two extraordinary characters and follows them as they, independently, begin to unravel some of the greatest mysteries of our universe.

Their missions are dangerous, and they are all venturing into the unknown … and if they can uncover the secret to faster-than-light travel then new worlds will be at our fingertips.

But innovation and progress are not always embraced by everyone. There is a saboteur at work. Different factions disagree about the best way to move forward. And the mysterious Watchkeepers are ever-present.

Completing the informal trilogy which began with BLUE REMEMBERED EARTH and ON THE STEEL BREEZE, this is a powerful and effective story.

Aquí os dejo también las portadas de toda la serie, para que os fijéis como quedan al completo.

Portada de The Venusian Gambit

Aquí os traigo la portada de la tercera entrega de la serie Daedalus, escrita por Michael J. Martínez. Como podéis comprobar, sigue la estética de la serie, pero mucho más “terrestre”, si me permitís la expresión.

venusianEsta es la sinopsis:

In the year 2135, dangerous alien life forms freed in the destruction of Saturn’s moon Enceladus are making their way towards Earth. A task force spearheaded by Lt. Cmdr. Shaila Jain is scrambling to beat them there while simultaneously trying to save crewmember Stephane Durand, who was infected during the mission to Saturn and is now controlled by a form of life intent on reopening a transdimensional rift and destroying the human race. But Jain doesn’t realize that the possessed Stephane has bigger plans, beaming critical data to other conspirators suspiciously heading not for Earth, but for Venus…

In 1809—a Napoleonic era far different from our own—the French have occupied England with their Corps Eternélle, undead soldiers risen through the darkest Alchemy. Only the actions of Lord Admiral Thomas Weatherby and the Royal Navy have kept the French contained to Earth. But the machinations of old enemies point to a bold and daring gambit: an ancient weapon, presumed lost in the jungles of Venus.

Now, Weatherby must choose whether to stay and fight to retake his homeland or pursue the French to the green planet. And Shaila must decide if it’s possible to save the man she loves, or if he must be sacrificed for the good of two dimensions. In the dark, alien jungles of Venus, humanity’s fate in both dimensions hangs in the balance—forcing past and present to once again join forces against an ancient terror.

Portada de Made to kill

Ya conocemos cómo será la portada de la nueva novela de Adam Christopher, Made to kill definida como scifi noir thriller. Esta novela será la primera de una trilogía, cuya intrigante idea de partida es : ¿cómo serían las historias de ciencia ficción de Raymond Chandler (conocido por su rechazo al género)?.

An age of discord de Ian Sales a la venta este año

¡Notición! Ian Sales, uno de nuestros escritores preferidos (ver reseñas aquí, aquí y aquí) ha anunciado la publicación de su trilogía An age of discord entre este año y el que viene. El autor la define como :

sort of a steampunkish widescreen baroque space opera sort

Los títulos que componen esta trilogía serán: A Prospect of War, A Conflict of Orders y A Want of Reason.

Aquí os dejo la sinopsis:

Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it, but those who ignore history do so at their peril. The Empire was born in civil war and now, 1,300 years later, a fresh civil war is brewing. But who is the mysterious “Serpent” who threatens the Imperial Throne? And what can the renegade naval officer known only as the Admiral, and her single battlecruiser, do to combat him? Casimir Ormuz, a young man of low birth, may be the key. Whoever controls him is most likely to win—but he is determined to be his own master.

And then the historical origin of the Serpent’s conspiracy abruptly intrudes into the present… And the civil war becomes a battle for the Empire’s survival.

Set in a colourful and richly-detailed universe, An Age of Discord tells an epic story of derring-do and intrigue, while subverting space opera sensibilities and traditions.

Espero impaciente la publicación de estos libros, no sé con qué nos sorprenderá Ian, pero parece que será algo totalmente diferente a su Apollo Quartet.
