AUS DER WELT DER PREISGEKRÖNTEN STREAMING-SERIE UND BESTSELLERROMAN-REIHE VON JAMES S.A. COREY Chrisjen Avasarala, ehemalige Generalsekretärin der Vereinten Nationen, ist seit ihrer letzten Wahlniederlage auf den Erdmond verbannt … Doch kampflos will sie sich nicht geschlagen geben. Als ihr die marsianische Ex-Marine Bobby Draper Informationen über einen illegalen, intergalaktischen Waffenschmugglerring zuspielt, wittert Avasarala die Chance, mit einer Geheimoperation ihre einstige politische Macht zurückzugewinnen. Doch als Draper die Geheimorganisation infiltriert, wird ihr schnell klar, dass die Gefahr, die von ihr ausgeht, weitaus größer – und vertrauter – ist, als sich beide je hätten vorstellen können. Corinna Bechko (Green Lantern: Erde Eins) und Alejandro Aragon (Resonant) präsentieren eine packende Sci-Fi-Story, die zwischen den Ereignissen der vierten und fünften Staffel der Amazon-Erfolgsserie The Expanse spielt.

"The Laconian Empire has fallen, setting the thirteen hundred solar systems free from the rule of Winston Duarte. But the ancient enemy that killed the gate builders is awake, and the war against our universe has begun again. In the dead system of Adro, Elvi Okoye leads a desperate scientific mission to understand what the gate builders were and what destroyed them, even if it means compromising herself and the half-alien children who bear the weight of her investigation. Through the wide-flung systems of humanity, Colonel Aliana Tanaka hunts for Duarte's missing daughter. . . and the shattered emperor himself. And on the Rocinante, James Holden and his crew struggle to build a future for humanity out of the shards and ruins of all that has come before. As nearly unimaginable forces prepare to annihilate all human life, Holden and a group of unlikely allies discover a last, desperate chance to unite all of humanity, with the promise of a vast galactic civilization free from wars, factions, lies, and secrets if they win. But the price of victory may be worse than the cost of defeat"--

Das Tor in die Zukunft der Menschheit wurde aufgestoßen. Weit über tausend Welten sind auf einen Schlag erreichbar geworden. Auf einer von ihnen hat ein Mann namens Duarte ein Regime errichtet, mit dem er nun den Rest der Galaxis unterwerfen will. Nichts scheint ihn aufhalten zu können – selbst das Sonnensystem hat er bereits unter Kontrolle. Doch seine Tochter hat Geheimnisse, von denen Duarte nichts weiß, während die Crew der Rosinante einen gefährlichen Untergrundkampf gegen Duartes Imperium beginnt …

Humanity has colonized the solar system -- Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt and beyond -- but the stars are still out of our reach. Jim Holden is XO of an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt. When he and his crew stumble upon a derelict ship, the Scopuli, they find themselves in possession of a secret they never wanted. A secret that someone is willing to kill for -- and kill on a scale unfathomable to Jim and his crew. War is brewing in the system unless he can find out who left the ship and why. Detective Miller is looking for a girl. One girl in a system of billions, but her parents have money and money talks. When the trail leads him to the Scopuli and rebel sympathizer Holden, he realizes that this girl may be the key to everything. Holden and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth government, the Outer Planet revolutionaries, and secretive corporations -- and the odds are against them. But out in the Belt, the rules are different, and one small ship can change the fate of the universe.--
