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

155 kr

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.

Året 2014: Vid en middag hedrar den berömde poeten Francis Blundy sin frus födelsedag genom att läsa en dikt som han tillägnar henne. Ingen av vännerna runt bordet anar att dikten ska komma att bli ett litterärt mysterium som ska diskuteras i generationer framöver.

Året 2119: Stora delar av världen har drabbats av stigande havsnivåer efter en katastrofal kärnkraftsolycka. De som överlever hemsöks av minnet av den rika värld som nu gått förlorad. I det som en gång var England gräver litteraturforskaren Thomas Metcalfe i arkiven från denna avlägsna tid och fascineras av den frihet och de möjligheter som då rådde. Plötsligt får han upp en ledtråd till vad som hände den mytomspunna dikten skriven av Francis Blundy hundra år tidigare. Kan diktens upptäckt avslöja en berättelse som innefattar både en omvälvande kärlek och ett brutalt mord?

Ian McEwan har skrivit ännu en mästerlig roman som utforskar mänsklighetens mest grundläggande frågor om kunskap och kärlek, i vilken läsaren tvingas ifrågasätta sitt eget förhållande till tiden och minnet.

Frank Herbert's classic masterpiece-a triumph of the imagination and one of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time.

Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the "spice" melange, a drug capable of extending life and enhancing consciousness. Coveted across the known universe, melange is a prize worth killing for....

When House Atreides is betrayed, the destruction of Paul's family will set the boy on a journey toward a destiny greater than he could ever have imagined. And as he evolves into the mysterious man known as Muad'Dib, he will bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.

A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.

Uppdrag Hail Mary : ensam i rymden

AvHarlan Ellison,J. Straczynski M

Häftad, Svenska, 2026

169 kr

Filmaktuell bok av författaren till THE MARTIAN

Andy Weirs sci-fi-klassiker är en Dan Brown i rymden. En smart och dystopisk rymdskildring för alla som älskade Interstellar.

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.

UPPDRAG HAIL MARY handlar, som 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 förvecklingar som tar oss långt bortom vår vildaste fantasi.

Inget mindre än ett sci-fi-mästerverk! En känslomässigt intensiv och djuplodande roman som kommer att få dig att läsa hela natten tills ögonen blöder. (Kirkus Reviews)

Ett fängslande porträtt av mänsklig uppfinningsrikedom och förmågan att överleva som leder till ett oväntat gripande slut. En riktig vinnare. (Publishers Weekly)

Weir är tillbaka med besked Karaktärsbeskrivningar och dialog sprudlar av energi och romanen befäster hans plats som en äkta stjärna på sci-fi-himlen. (Booklist)

Vecklar ut ändlösa vetenskapliga pussel där mänskligheten står på spel, [boken] har allt som fans av old school SF (som jag) älskar En roman som hade glatt Robert A. Heinlein och Isaac Asimov. (George R.R. Martin)

Andy Weir är rymdnörden som fick sitt första programmerarjobb vid femton års ålder. Han släppte sin debutroman, The Martian, ungefär samtidigt som det upptäcktes vatten på Mars och boken gick raka vägen upp till en första placering på New York Times. Efter att ha sålt mer än tre miljoner böcker runt om i världen, och närmare 50 000 exemplar bara i Sverige, är förväntningarna höga på hans nästa rymdäventyr. Inte minst som det ännu gång handlar om en ensam hjälte som tvingas förlita sig på sin egen intelligens för att överleva. Efter succén The Martian filmatiseras nu även Uppdrag Hail Mary, med premiär våren 2026 och Ryan Gosling i rollen som Ryland Grace.

En social dystopi - Simon Stålenhag återvänder med sin efterlängtade nya konstbok Svenska maskiner, enslight belägna.

Simon Stålenhag är känd för sina kritikerrosade narrativa konstböcker som har uppmärksammats av Hollywood. Ur varselklotet, som publicerades 2015, blev ett internetfenomen och gav upphov till en Amazon Prime Show med originalmusik av Philip Glass. Detta följdes upp av Flodskörden och Passagen. Den sistnämnda blir snart en storfilm under namnet The Electric State i regi av bröderna Russo (Avengers: Endgame) med Millie Bobby Brown och Chris Pratt i huvudrollerna.

Svenska maskiner, ensligt belägna är Stålenhags mest personliga verk hittills och utforskar maskulinitet, vänskap och sexualitet i en queer science fiction-berättelse om två unga män som är fast i det förflutna - och i varandras omloppsbana. Deras historia sträcker sig över decennier, när flyktiga ögonblick blir avgörande minnen, och de ger sig ut för att utforska en mystisk förbjuden zon tillsammans.

Ett gigantiskt cylinderformat objekt närmar sig hastigt vårt solsystem. Besättningen ombord Endeavour råkar befinna sig i närheten och lyckas landa på det. Objektet döps till Rama efter den hinduiska guden, och snart blir det tydligt att det har skapats av intelligent liv. Men var befinner sig dess besättning, och vad har de i vårt solsystem att göra? För att få svar på frågorna är det nödvändigt att kliva in i Rama och utforska dess hemligheter …

Möte med Rama är ett mästerverk inom science fiction-genren och belönades med åtskilliga priser när den gavs ut 1973, bland annat de prestigefulla Nebula- och Hugoutmärkelserna.

Earth has been transformed into the set of the galaxy’s most watched game show: Dungeon Crawler World, a nightmarish, multilevel, video game–like dungeon filled with traps, monsters, and mind-bending puzzles. Carl and Donut have survived so far, but this fourth level is unlike anything they could imagine. The Iron Tangle: an impossibly complicated subway system tied together into a knot of trains of all kinds, from classic steam engines to sleek modern cars. Up is down. Down is up. Close is far. The cars are filled with monsters, the railway stations aren’t always what they seem, and the exit is perpetually just a few stops away. The top ten list is populated, and Carl and Donut have made it. But that popularity comes with a price. They each now have a bounty on their head. They must work with other crawlers to solve the puzzle of the floor, but how can they do that when they don’t know who to trust? The secret to unraveling it all may be hidden in the pages of a seemingly useless book. Welcome, Crawlers. Welcome to the fourth floor of the dungeon.

Stiftelsetrilogin

AvIsaac Asimov

Häftad, Svenska, 2019

229 kr

Det väldiga Vintergatsimperiet vittrar sönder efter tolv tusen år. I detta begynnande kaos uppenbarar sig vetenskapsmannen Hari Seldon, som vigt sitt liv åt att utveckla psykohistoria, en sorts beteendevetenskap som kan förutse och påverka framtiden. Och framtiden är inte ljus.

För att förkorta trettio tusen år av krig och barbari skapar Seldon Stiftelsen. Här arbetar de så kallade encyklopedisterna skenbart med att samla människans hela vetande, men i själva verket förbereder de mänsklighetens räddning.

Asimovs episka berättelse kan läsas som en allegori över människans ständiga strävan att behärska sin tillvaro. Asimov skrev flera sidoberättelser och fördjupade i flera verk sin litterära värld, men just Stiftelsetrilogin (1942–1949) var en exempellös framgång och banade väg för science fictiongenren världen över.

Isaac Asimov (1922–1992) är en av de mest uppskattade science fiction-författarna. Han föddes i en by utanför Smolensk i dåvarande Sovjetunionen. När han var tre år gammal emigrerade hela familjen till USA där han blev professor i biokemi och skrev hundratals böcker inom flera fält. Stiftelsetrilogin räknas till de viktigaste och mest uppmärksammade verken i science fictiongenren.
