BARA HAN KAN RÄDDA VÄRLDEN

Ryland är ensam överlevande på det sista desperata uppdraget att försöka rädda jorden, om han misslyckas innebär det slutet för mänskligheten.

Men det vet inte Ryland, för han vet ingenting. Inte ens vem han själv är.

Miljontals mil hemifrån, med endast två döda astronauter som medpassagerare, inser Ryland att han måste rädda sig själv, för att kunna rädda världen. Men först måste han ta reda på vem, eller kanske snarare vad, det är som plötsligt gör honom sällskap

UPPDRAG HAIL MARY handlar, liksom The Martian, om en övergiven rymdhjälte och den vetenskapliga humorns uppfinningsrikedom. Det är en sylvass, smart och dystopisk rymdskildring som bjuder på underhållande problemlösning och häpnadsväckande förveckningar som tar oss långt bortom vår vildaste fantasi.

Barack Obama har tipsat om boken tillika Bill Gates, som sagt: Även om du inte är ett stort sci-fi-fan är Uppdrag Hail Mary verkligen underhållande.

ANDY WEIR är rymndnörden som fick sitt första programmerjobb vid femton års ålder. Han släppte sin debutroman, The Martian, ungefär samtidigt som vatten upptäcktes på mars och boken gick raka vägen upp till en förstaplacering på New York Times. Efter att ha sålt mer än 3 miljoner böcker runt om världen, varav närmare 50 000 exemplar bara i Sverige, har förväntningarna på Uppdrag Hail Mary varit höga, och infriats. Hans nya berättelse om en ensam hjälte som tvingas förlita sig på sin egen intelligens för att överleva har hyllats av både kritikerkår och läsare världen över.

Din inre rymdnörd kommer att vara fnittrigt glad från första till sista sidan. Amelia

En perfekt blandning av sci-fi och fantasy. Smålandsposten

Det som gjort mig mest intresserad av fysik sedan skolan är när jag denna sommar var fast i boken Uppdrag Hail Mary. Dagens Industri, Jan Gradvall

För alla som är nyfikna på vetenskap är detta storslagna rymdepos ett måste. Tidningen Ångermanland

Det är kittlande när hela jordens överlevnad står på spel, och vi befinner oss långt längre bort än på en välbekant grannplanet. Weirs kärlek till naturvetenskapen är påtaglig och bidrar även här med en detaljrikedom som ger berättelsen trovärdighet. Bibliotekstjänst

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission-and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it's up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery-and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he's got to do it all alone. Or does he? An irresistible interstellar adventure as only Andy Weir could deliver, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian-while taking us to places it never dreamed of going.

The epic conclusion of the far-future Archimedes Engine duology by legendary author Peter F. Hamilton.For millennia, the Crown Dominion has been at relative peace, with the Celestials in control and the human population little better than serfs. But now the Crown Dominion is facing a crisis of epic proportions – one that could change the balance of power in the Centauri Cluster forever – as an exiled faction that has been waiting for seven thousand years beyond the Helium Sea has returned to claim its vengeance.For Finn and his human allies, who have ended up at the center of this conflict through either circumstance or manipulation, this is an unprecedented opportunity. If they can band together, they may be able to outwit the Celestials and finally earn their fellow humans a place of independence and power in the Crown Dominion.But first they must locate and master ancient artifacts of immense power that could give them a needed edge in the conflict ahead – all while ducking the forces that are determined to knock them off the board for good.* * *Praise for Exodus: The Archimedes Engine‘A perfect balance of ingenious ideas and intricate execution.

As chaos and mass panic spread outside the dungeon in the wake of Faction Wars, Carl and Donut find themselves on the tenth floor, where they’re forced to compete in a surprisingly normal set of tasks. Well, normal for the dungeon. Races. Get from point A to point B, and don’t come in last. After each race, they pick an upgrade for their vehicle and the track gets more challenging. It all seems a little too normal, a little too simple. Ignore those strange glitches that are occurring with increasing frequency. Don’t listen to those whispers about what’s happening on the mysterious eleventh floor, something the system AI calls A Parade of Horribles. Nobody, not even the showrunners, knows what that means. Just that the AI has ominously dubbed it “a coming-out party for the ages.” Everything is fine, Crawler. I repeat, everything is fine. Carl hates that it’s business as usual. The rules of this floor have taken away his agency. That just will not do. So Carl is planning a party of his own. It’s a plan so dangerous, so insane, he can’t even consult his friends lest the AI put a stop to it. Because if it goes wrong, it’s not just the end of Carl and Donut. No. The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been. Includes part eight of the exclusive bonus story “Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.”

Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, BlindsightTwo 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.
