Space Mission

Fünfzig Jahre nachdem der Astronaut Perry Rhodan auf dem Mond ein außerirdisches Raumschiff entdeckt hat, ist eine neue Epoche der Menschheit angebrochen. Die Solare Union steuert den Aufbruch ins All. Die Menschen haben Kolonien nicht nur auf dem Mond und Mars, sondern auch in fernen Sonnensystemen errichtet. Mit ihren Raumschiffen erforschen sie die Milchstraße und pflegen Kontakte zu fremden Zivilisationen. Wie in der Vergangenheit sehen sich die wagemutigen Pioniere nicht nur mit den kosmischen Gefahren von lebensfeindlichen Umwelten konfrontiert, sondern auch mit Bedrohungen von ­innen wie außen.

Their voyages to the moon led them to the most incredible discovery of all: our home planet and its precious place in the universe.

Carl anhela una vida tranquila con su futura esposa y el hijo que esperan. Pero cuando Amy le hace una única petición, surge un problema. Ella quiere casarse en la Tierra para que su madre pueda estar presente. Para un ciudadano respetuoso de la ley, esa sería una petición cara pero sencilla.

Los piratas han tomado y ocupado un mundo de refugiados, y el gobierno en el exilio pide ayuda al único humano del que puede fiarse: Carl Ramsey. Carl, que intenta ser una mejor persona, acepta ayudar en la medida que pueda. Dado que es un famoso fuera de la ley, su plan implica un poco de engaño y falsedad. Mientras Carl desentraña la historia de cómo una flota pirata bien atrincherada fue expulsada de su cómodo escondite y halló el objetivo ideal al que chantajear, se abre paso a través de una telaraña de engaños, intrigas y maquinaciones políticas tras bambalinas.

Si alguien corriera alguna vez el riesgo de olvidar que la magia puede trastornar los equipos científicos y tecnológicos, solo habría que recordarle el incidente de la Estación Móvil de Excavaciones YF-77. Esa pobre y desdichada estación tuvo un mago como visitante, y ese mago perdió el control de sus poderes mientras la estación minera se movía a un nuevo punto de perforación. Privada de todo control de posición, la estación pasó de una órbita estable a un rumbo de colisión contra un planeta desértico y muerto.

Un lote de contrabando por valor de dos millones y medio de terras no le servirá de nada a Carl Ramsey a no ser que encuentre comprador. Con cifras semejantes, a la hora del intercambio no es raro que las cosas se tuerzan, así que cuando todo va sobre ruedas, Carl sabe que no ha podido tener tanta suerte. Tras descubrirse la estafa, la tripulación del Mobius se lanza a la búsqueda de la mercancía robada.

Empuja a un hombre con bastante fuerza y durante el tiempo suficiente, y él te responderá. Carl Ramsey tiene por fin un plan para enfrentarse a la megacorporación transgaláctica Harmony Bay. Con la ayuda de un nuevo as en la manga, la tripulación del Mobius ha preparado un golpe que podría poner fin al hostigamiento de la empresa: van a robar la nave responsable de las operaciones encubiertas de Harmony Bay.

Get up close and personal with science as Andrew Kessler narrates his hilarious journey inside NASA’s Phoenix Mars mission - a historic enterprise manned by a motley crew of rocket scientists. The Phoenix Mars mission was the first man-made probe ever sent to the Martian arctic.

The galaxy is in a state of panic. A horror has been unleashed, and it's a threat to every inhabited planet. Luckily, it currently rampages across a sparsely populated part of the Black Ocean. But even that callous view only holds limited hope for the fortunate species whose worlds lay safer by virtue of distance. Sooner or later, someone is going to have to destroy it. Hiroko plays the role of diplomat. In the face of a threat to all species, she hopes to forge a multi-species alliance to combat the monster.

And Drift Away is the sixteenth mission of Black Ocean: Mirth & Mayhem. It follows a mismatched duo of itinerant comedian and outlaw wizard as they roam the galaxy trying to eke out a living and stay ahead of the consequences of their actions. Black Ocean: Mirth & Mayhem looks back at an earlier era in the Black Ocean universe, and returning readers will get to see how some of their favorite characters came to be. Fans of morally gray heroes and slick talking conmen will love this series.

Don Rucker has seen what Mordecai The Brown is capable of. Now the second in command of his father's syndicate wants Mort's help with an even bigger job: killing Theo Rucker. Initially roped in simply as Mort's handler, Chuck's people skills become invaluable in rooting out loyalists to the old regime when even Don's trusted lieutenants are too close to be objective. Mort trims the ranks quietly, become a boogeyman to any syndicate guys not in on the plot. When the coup takes place, they hope for a quick decisive action that swiftly puts Don on the throne.

Carl Ramsey has done the unthinkable: he turned down a lucrative job. When the deed is too despicable even for outlaws like the Mobius crew, someone nasty had to be behind it. Carl and his friends decide to hunt down their potential employer and turn him over to the authorities. But as amateur vigilantes, they mire themselves in a moral quagmire of conflicts of interest. With victory (and a tidy payday) in their sights, can they live with the awful truth they uncover?

Colonel Tucker Petersen, and crew, are back for one final mission.

The ancient solution to get magic and tech to coexist lies within an alien structure older than any race in the galaxy. Now, the balance of power threatens to tip. As factions reinforce their fleets for a war to claim the ultimate technological prize, Hiroko finds herself trapped between three races—one of them her own—in a quest where even victory promises disaster.

With rival factions in orbit around Shadow Planet, the obvious threat was one another. When the defenses of an ancient alien outpost activate, trapping everyone in the star system, it becomes clear that there was more to worry about beneath the planet’s surface than in orbit around it. As Hiroko plays peacemaker to three rival fleets, Cedric and Kane lead an effort to shut down the power source keeping the system-wide energy field operational.

It seemed like a safe enough gig. A week aboard a One Church missionary ship. Bland entertainment for respectable money. A place where the family could relax and let their guard down. Until the pirates attacked. Alone in alien space, the missionaries are sitting ducks. When the hijackers commandeer the vessel, Mort and the Ramseys get split up.

Pia is a stunning woman, whose genius is sought after by the handful of multinational corporations left fighting for control over the ravaged Earth of 2056. As rampant starvation and climate destruction sweep across the planet, a final war seems inevitable both on Earth and in the Lunar Colonies. Rebel groups use cyberwarfare and brain network attacks in a seemingly futile attempt to stop the Multinats. Now Natocorps has a daring plan for how to become the sole surviving global power, but should they be helped or stopped?
