Space. The Rise of Persepolis. The wrath of Tiamat. Oberon
39.99 €
An old enemy is returning. In a thousand star systems swept up by human expansion, new colonized worlds seek their way, balancing on a knife's edge between catastrophe and miracle. The aging warship Rosinant is up to its neck in maintaining a fragile peace. The inner Belt planets have formed a shaky and fragile alliance in the vast space between Earth and Jupiter, still reeling from the memory of past wars and prejudice. And on the lost colonist world of Laconia, a lurking enemy has its own vision of humanity's future and the power to make it happen. New technologies clash with old in an age-old war for dominance. But it is not only in human nature to feud, and the forces that have been unleashed will demand a price to be paid. A price that will suddenly and forever change the face of humanity - and the Rocinante.
One thousand three hundred gates have opened to solar systems across the galaxy. But as humanity builds its own interstellar empire on the ruins of an alien civilization, secrets and threats mount. In the dead systems beyond the gate, where things stranger than new planets lurk, Alvy Okoye is desperate to understand the nature of the genocide that occurred before the first man appeared, and to find a weapon for war against almost unimaginable forces. But that knowledge may cost more than she can pay. In the heart of the Laconian Empire, Teresa Duarte prepares to share the burden of power with her aspiring father. The palace is full of intrigue and danger, with social scientist Paolo Cortazar and diabolical prisoner James Holden just two of them. But Teresa has her own head on her shoulders and secrets unknown even to her imperial father. And across the expanse of the human empire, the Rocinante crew, divided by circumstance, is fighting rearguard battles against the Duarte regime. The old order is being forgotten, and the future under the eternal rule of Laconia seems more and more inevitable, and with it a war that humanity can only lose. After all, courage and ambition are not enough to fight against the horror lurking between the worlds... The collection also includes a new translation of the story "Oberon".
