Space Universe

Após as loucas aventuras vividas com seus estranhos amigos em O Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias e O Restaurante no Fim do Universo, Arthur Dent ficou cinco anos abandonado na Terra Pré-Histórica. Mesmo depois de tanto tempo, ele ainda acordava todas as manhãs com um grito de horror por estar preso àquela monótona e assustadora rotina. Talvez Arthur até preferisse continuar isolado em sua caverna escura, úmida e fedorenta a encarar a próxima aventura para a qual seria forçosamente arrastado: salvar o Universo dos temíveis robôs xenófobos do planeta Krikkit.

Desde pequeños, nos fascinan las estrellas y los planetas. En seguida nos preguntamos si en su superficie podría haber criaturas, como tú y como yo, preguntándose si en otros lugares de la galaxia habrá seres como ellos... La avalancha de preguntas es imparable: el ser humano es curioso por naturaleza. Si alguna vez te has hecho alguna de estas preguntas, este libro es para ti. De la mano de Alex Riveiro, autor de Hacia las estrellas. Una breve guía del universo, y creador de Astrobitácora, el podcast de referencia de astronomía en español.

¿Alguna vez has levantado la vista al cielo en una noche estrellada y te has dejado llevar por la imaginación? Igual en ese momento te has trasladado a mundos que van más allá de lo que podemos imaginar en la Tierra. Algunos con vida, puede que inteligente, y otros completamente inhóspitos e infernales. O quizá simplemente te has preguntado cuántas estrellas hay en la Vía Láctea.

Após o enorme sucesso de Uma breve história do tempo, a Intrínseca traz a luxuosa reedição de O universo numa casca de noz, na qual Stephen Hawking se vale de ilustrações, fotos e esquemas detalhados para mostrar grandes descobertas no campo da física teórica. Tudo isso, é claro, com sua conhecida clareza, elucidando temas complexos por meio de conceitos e ideias do dia a dia, como a inflação, as cartas de baralho e as linhas ferroviárias, e permeado com seu peculiar senso de humor.

Zen'zat are now hunted across the galaxy due to the death mark placed upon them by the Zak'de'ron...but it doesn't just apply to the elite warriors. It is also laid upon the Ter'nat colonies that spawned them, and the V'kit'no'sat have little resources...or the will left to defend them.

As the war to conquer Star Force progresses, the fighting shifts away from the Uriti and space battles to the ground...where planets are won or lost based on the supersized warfare of mechs vs. dinosaurs.

The Zak'de'ron take note of the Rit'ko'sor joining Star Force, making contact, and making their wishes known...but in the process, they make a critical mistake that will forever alter their relationship with the trailblazers.

The temporary truce between Star Force and the V'kit'no'sat sends shockwaves throughout the galaxy. No one has ever defied the V'kit'no'sat and lived, but now Star Force has and many races are taking notice...including one that no one expects, on either side.

The cyborg starwhal whom Clarity and her crew inhabit has become more than a spaceship or home to them. She's their friend. But while Clarity and crew are filling their starwhal's belly with a gengineered garden, the rest of the pod is still held captive by the Aether Gaia scientists who tinker with and experiment upon them like lab animals. The all-powerful AI, Wisper, who stretches across star-systems - inhabiting computers on every space station Clarity has visited - promised to free the other starwhals. But either she's broken her promise, or something worse has gone wrong.

The concluding two novels of the Childers trilogy, in one volume: Colony War and Galactic Mail.

Humanity has managed to develop its fledgling World Space Council, but it's still far from being effective, and there are those who do not want it to succeed at all. Meanwhile, the alien AI, Pod, is the only thing standing between them and those intent on eradicating all biological sentience within the galaxy. It's almost too much for the tiny escape pod that has been left in charge of Earth's safety.

Le piante, gli animali, l'uomo possono continuare a esistere grazie alla frazione di energia solare che viene assorbita dalla Terra. L'illuminazione solare è tale da permettere alla superficie terrestre di mantenere una temperatura confortevole, agli oceani di rimanere in forma liquida e alla crosta terrestre di non liquefarsi. Inoltre il sole controlla il clima, guida i venti e crea le condizioni ambientali in cui viviamo.

Against reservations and amid arguments, Clarity rescues a pair of Doraspian diplomats on the run. The two sentient plants and their reptilian advisor are keeping a secret that could make their own government turn on them and turn them into science experiments waiting to be dissected. In need of answers, Clarity and her crew head to Wespirtech, the foremost research institute in their corner of the galaxy, where scientists play with the principles of the universe like kids play with toys.

Jan Childers grew up orphaned in the slums of decaying post-diaspora Earth. She was raped, beaten, and starved. Yet she survived. She escaped to become a citizen of the Commonwealth of Free Planets and joined the Commonwealth Space Force. Over the next 20 years, she turned the CSF into the most powerful and dangerous space fleet that history had ever known. Jan Childers rose to lead that fleet in the Commonwealth's darkest hour, against freedom's most deadly enemy - Earth itself.

As the post-attack chaos forces Earth's governments to realize they no longer have the ability to maintain order, the destiny of mankind falls to a select group of human and artificial intelligence to prepare a defense against annihilation by the Nubl hives.

The Naplian Empire's war of expansion against the Grand Alliance has taken a turn for the worse. With vital serjaum fuel reserves wiped out by a surprise attack, Admiral Daviont of the III Corps makes a long, desperate journey to the fringes of Terran space for a massive undeveloped source of serjaum-the Baedecker Star System. But his action does not go unnoticed. Their mortal enemies, the Briddarri, send their own task force to intercept. At Baedecker Four, starfighter pilot and governor's son Taggart “Tag” Wester has his hands full steering clear of his wing commander's wrath. When an emergency call unearths a dangerous foe from the past, he's put to a test unlike any he's ever faced-one of courage, and leadership. The time for bucking the rules and chasing the horizon has come to an end.

A major new threat to the galaxy.... A political firestorm underway.... Aliens and Humans aligned against each other.... Fortunately, we have Adam Cain to save the day!

Esna Donovan was stranded on a planet full of people that didn't look like her as a child along with her brother. Their father was murdered, leaving them sitting in their spaceship waiting for his return. They remember almost nothing from before that time, when two Calavari who were business associates of their father took them in and told them they could never be seen outside their full body armor. They've honored their father's dying wish, living and working on the Calavari's farm while exploring the barren wastelands looking for bits of technological salvage.

Former Captain of the Confederate Fleet, Terenze Milos is the hero of the Locusta-Vanga wars, said to have brought the galaxy back from the brink of extinction. Now he lives in obscurity, running a freight operation on the derelict ship Endeavor. When Captain Milos recognizes the unmistakable signs of deadly Locustan technology in a salvaged fighter craft - the Stryker - he sounds a warning. But the Confederacy isn't listening....

As a young boy Frank Kovac Jr. fell deeply in love with stargazing, painting glow-in-the-dark constellations on his bedroom wall and inviting friends to an observatory he built in his Chicago backyard. As he reached adulthood, Kovac did not let go of his childhood dreams of reaching the stars. He began scheming to bring the universe home. While working at a paper mill as a young man, Kovac tirelessly built a 22-foot rotating globe planetarium in the woods.
