In a future where humanity has ventured beyond the boundaries of Earth, a renowned scientist named Vincent Forthright awakens from a cryogenic slumber in the city of Helios Prime. It is the year 2352, and mankind now thrives amongst the stars, rebuilding their civilization from the ashes of a ruined Earth. Vincent's life's work revolves around a groundbreaking invention known as the Tesseract—a device capable of harnessing the unimaginable power of black holes. However, Vincent soon discovers that he is not alone. His old assistant, Elena Kavinsky, also emerges from cryosleep, adding a familiar face to the uncertain future that lies ahead. Together, they embark on a journey to continue their work on the Tesseract, driven by the urgent need to protect humanity from an impending threat—the Zorathians, a relentless alien species hell-bent on conquering the Milky Way.

Their path is filled with unexpected twists and turns, including encounters with traitors, the discovery of parallel universes, and the relentless assault of the Zorathians. Each step they take brings them closer to unraveling the mysteries of the Tesseract and harnessing its incredible power. Amidst the chaos and battles, Vincent and Elena must navigate the blurred lines between trust and betrayal, loyalty and survival.

Blindsight
Author: Peter Watts
Publisher: Macmillan

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

The Bluezone: Somewhere deep within this last bastion of democratic society, segregated from the chaotic slums and destitute refugee camps, lurks a technology that could either push civilization further into the abyss or bring forth its salvation. Struggling to save his innovative hybrid techno-finance company from malign threats leftover from twenty-two years of severe economic depression, a young Uberman ends up fighting for his life against ruthless enemies. Corporate Banksters are increasingly adopting unscrupulous strategies and tactics. Dangerous slumlords have infiltrated every facet of the economy and run their gangs like small quasi-nations. Rebellious artificial intelligent entities, which may or may not believe the human world actually exists, are going rogue. To make matters worse, the Bluezone government, so obsessed in asserting its authority, is willing to risk all-out civil war. Not that James Tucker, a war veteran and corporate Uberman by the age of nineteen, and a staunch proponent of alternative economic theorem, minds putting his life on the line. At stake is the destruction of his country, the disillusionment of his fans, and the prospect of betraying a promise he made to his daughter. THE BLUEZONE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN
