Space Colony

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.

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.

On an Earth which is toxic, radioactive, and nearly dead, Mabel and Ian are two adventurers who live in Dome 17. There have been missions sent out into the wastelands to try to reconnect to other domes, but none have succeeded, yet. When it is discovered that Dome 17 may suffer a similar fate to those other domes, a risky and last-ditch plan is attempted. Teams will be sent looking for any of the seven great intergenerational colony ships which were launched a century ago. Yet, all those ships have been lost for decades.

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.

Die Arche, das Generationenraumschiff, das die letzten Menschen von der zerstörten Erde transportiert hat, hat gegen alle Chancen Tau Ceti erreicht. Dreißigtausend Überlebende beginnen die lange, anstrengende Aufgabe des Wiederaufbaus der menschlichen Zivilisation. Doch die ursprünglichen Bewohner von Tau Ceti, die G'tel, stehen den Neuankömmlingen äußerst misstrauisch gegenüber. Der erste Kontakt zwischen Menschen und G'tel mündet in einer Katastrophe; es gibt Tote auf beiden Seiten, und schon bald mehren sich die Gerüchte, dass das Massaker nicht auf einem Missverständnis beruhte, sondern beabsichtigt war.

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?

Max is completing a survey in the barren, frozen north of planet Grailliyn, when he makes a startling discovery. There's a high-tech pod buried beneath the ice, and inside the pod is a young woman.

They don't even know who is trying to kill them, or why.

She is determined to clear Jonah's name and stop Mordecai's reign of tyranny, but a stowaway onboard the space station has her own ideas. Even worse, the US military is plotting an attack - one that could kill everyone on Elderon.

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.

Phaet Theta has lived her whole life in a colony on the moon. She's barely spoken since her father died in an accident nine years ago. She cultivates the plants in Greenhouse 22, lets her best friend talk for her, and stays off the government's radar. Then her mother is arrested. The only way to save her younger siblings from the degrading shelter is to enlist in the militia, the faceless army that polices the lunar bases and protects them from attacks by desperate Earth dwellers.

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.

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.
