Charlie J. Anders Bücher

›Alle Vögel unter dem Himmel‹ von Charlie Jane Anders ist vieles: ein magischer Science-Fiction-Roman, eine unvergessliche Liebesgeschichte zwischen einer Hexe und einem Nerd – und eine feinsinnige Bestandsaufnahme des modernen Lebens. Patricia Delfine merkt früh, dass sie eine Hexe ist. Schließlich kann sie mit den Vögeln sprechen – oder konnte es früher zumindest einmal (an jenem warmen Sommertag). Laurence Armstead ist ein Nerd: Schon als Highschool-Schüler erfindet er in seinem Kinderzimmer eine Zeitmaschine, die es ihm erlaubt, zwei Sekunden in die Zukunft zu reisen. Obwohl sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten, werden sie schnell Freunde. Gegen Ende der Schulzeit verlieren sie sich aus den Augen, nur um sich einige Jahre später in San Francisco wiederzutreffen: Doch der Zeitpunkt ist denkbar ungünstig: Die Welt wird gerade von einer ökologischen Katastrophe heimgesucht: Ganze Regionen versinken im Meer, Flüchtlingsströme durchziehen die Welt. Wissenschaftler wie Hexen suchen nach einem Ausweg, können sich jedoch nicht einigen. Laurence und Patricia finden sich auf unterschiedlichen Seiten der Auseinandersetzung wieder und müssen sich fragen: Wem können wir trauen, wenn die Welt aus den Fugen gerät, dem Verstand oder dem Gefühl? »Was für ein großartiges Buch! Eine wunderbare Synthese aus Magie und Technik, Freude und Leid, Romantik und Weisheit. Ein absolutes Muss.« Lev Grossman Für Leser von Michael Chabon, Jonathan Lethem und Armistead Maupin

Things are scary right now. We’re all being swept along by a tidal wave of history, and it’s easy to feel helpless. But we’re not helpless: we have minds, and imaginations, and the ability to visualize other worlds and valiant struggles. And writing can be an act of resistance that reminds us that other futures and other ways of living are possible.Full of memoir, personal anecdote, and insight about how to flourish during the present emergency, Never Say You Can’t Survive is the perfect manual for creativity in unprecedented times.

With only a ragtag band of misfits, crewmates, earthlings, friends, lovers--and one annoying frenemy--the Unstoppable Crew are up against the universe, and in order to survive, they may have to cross a once forbidden line

Anders provides six quirky, wry, engaging stories about aliens, humanity, time travel, and family reunions.

From the international bestselling author of All the Birds in the Sky, Charlie Jane Anders, comes Dreams Bigger Than Heartbreak, the sequel to Victories Greater Than Death in the thrilling adventure Unstoppable series. They'll do anything to be the people they were meant to be — even journey into the heart of evil. Rachael Townsend is the first artist ever to leave Earth and journey out into the galaxy — but after an encounter with an alien artifact, she can't make art at all. Elza Monteiro is determined to be the first human to venture inside the Palace of Scented Tears and compete for the chance to become a princess — except that inside the palace, she finds the last person she ever wanted to see again. Tina Mains is studying at the Royal Space Academy with her friends, but she's not the badass space hero everyone was expecting. Soon Rachael is journeying into a dark void, Elza is on a deadly spy mission, and Tina is facing an impossible choice that could change all her friends lives forever.

The thrilling intergalactic adventures of the Unstoppable series continue in the sequel to Victories Greater Than Death, from the international-bestselling author of All the Birds in the Sky.

In her short story collection, Even Greater Mistakes, Charlie Jane Anders upends genre cliches and revitalizes classic tropes with heartfelt and pants-wettingly funny social commentary. The woman who can see all possible futures is dating the man who can see the one and only foreordained future. A wildly popular slapstick filmmaker is drawn, against his better judgment, into working with a fascist militia, against a background of social collapse. Two friends must embark on an Epic Quest To Capture The Weapon That Threatens The Galaxy, or else they’ll never achieve their dream of opening a restaurant. The stories in this collection, by their very outrageousness, achieve a heightened realism unlike any other. Anders once again proves she is one of the strongest voices in modern science fiction, the writer called by Andrew Sean Greer, “this generation’s Le Guin.”

The conclusion of the mind-blowing intergalactic Unstoppable series, the sequel to the Locus Award-winning Victories Greater Than Death and Dreams Bigger Than Heartbreak, from the international-bestselling author of All the Birds in the Sky.

Tired of hiding in obscurity on Earth, Tina, the human clone of a brilliant alien tactician, pursues her destiny in space, but success is elusive until Tina and her best friend Rachel assemble a ragtag crew of humans and set out to save all the worlds.
