Lucifer's ​Hammer

Larry Niven - Edward M. Lerner - Fate ​of Worlds
This ​is the fifth and last novel in Larry Niven's "Ringworld" series. This series began in 1970, with the publication of Ringworld, now, in conjunction with Edward M. Lerner, Niven brings the series to its conclusion. For decades, the spacefaring species of Known Space have battled over the largest artifact—and grandest prize—in the galaxy: the all-but-limitless resources and technology of the Ringworld, but without warning the Ringworld has vanished, leaving behind three rival war fleets. Something must justify the blood and treasure that have been spent. If the fallen civilization of the Ringworld can no longer be despoiled of its secrets, the nearby advanced, but pacifistic species known as "Puppeteers" will be forced to surrender theirs. Yet, the danger to the Puppeteers goes far beyond mere invasion fleets, the survival of their planet is at stake, plus political intrigue, deadly rivalries, risk and danger at every turn.

China Miéville - Railsea
On ​board the moletrain Medes, Sham Yes ap Soorap watches in awe as he witnesses his first moldywarpe hunt: the giant mole bursting from the earth, the harpoonists targeting their prey, the battle resulting in one’s death and the other’s glory. But no matter how spectacular it is, Sham can't shake the sense that there is more to life than traveling the endless rails of the railsea–even if his captain can think only of the hunt for the ivory-coloured mole she’s been chasing since it took her arm all those years ago. When they come across a wrecked train, at first it's a welcome distraction. But what Sham finds in the derelict—a series of pictures hinting at something, somewhere, that should be impossible—leads to considerably more than he'd bargained for. Soon he's hunted on all sides, by pirates, trainsfolk, monsters and salvage-scrabblers. And it might not be just Sham's life that's about to change. It could be the whole of the railsea. From China Miéville comes a novel for readers of all ages, a gripping and brilliantly imagined take on Herman Melville's Moby-Dick that confirms his status as "the most original and talented voice to appear in several years." (Science Fiction Chronicle)

Philip K. Dick - Roger Zelazny - Deus ​Irae
In ​the years following World War III, a new and powerful faith has arisen from a scorched and poisoned Earth, a faith that embraces the architect of world wide devastation. The Servants of Wrath have deified Carlton Lufteufel and re-christened him the Deus Irae. In the small community of Charlottesville, Utah, Tibor McMasters, born without arms or legs, has, through an array of prostheses, established a far-reaching reputation as an inspired painter. When the new church commissions a grand mural depicting the Deus Irae, it falls upon Tibor to make a treacherous journey to find the man, to find the god, and capture his terrible visage for posterity.

Philip K. Dick - The ​World Jones Made
Floyd ​Jones is sullen, ungainly, and quite possibly mad, but in a very short time he will rise from telling fortunes at a mutant carnival to convulsing an entire planet. For although Jones has the power to see the future -- a power that makes his life a torment -- his real gift lies elsewhere: in his ability to make people dream again in a world where dreaming has been made illegal, even when the dream is indistinguishable from a nightmare. In Philip K. Dick's unsettling chronicle of the rise and fall of a postnuclear messiah, readers will find a novel that is as minutely realistic as it is prophetic. For along with its engineered mutants, hermaphroditic sex performers, and protoplasmic drifters from the stars, The World Jones Made gives us nothing less than a deadly accurate reading of our own hunger for belief.

Philip K. Dick - The ​Transmigration of Timothy Archer
Loosely ​based on the story of Bishop James Pike, Dick's last novel tells of an erudite man of the cloth whose faith is shaken by the suicides of his son and mistress, and then transformed by his bizarre quest for the identity of Christ.

But then Algernon, the mouse whose triumphal experimental tranformation preceded his, fades and dies, and Charlie has to face the possibility that his salvation was only temporary.

It's there that the brothers meet Madame’s newest protégé, a troubled youth with a dangerous secret waiting to be unlocked. But a larger threat looms in the stars.

Ray Bradbury - Gonosz ​lélek közeleg
Ray ​Bradbury (1920–2012) a mélységesen emberi sci-fi klasszikusa, a _Marsbéli krónikák_, a _Fahrenheit 451_ halhatatlan írója. Már egészen fiatal korától rendszeresen publikált különböző magazinokban. Később több mint harminc kötete jelent meg, számos írását színpadra és filmre adaptálták, többek közt Neil Gaimant és Stephen Kinget is inspirálta. Halálakor Barack Obama az egyik legnagyobb amerikai írónak nevezte, akinek a történetei segítenek megérteni, hogy a képzeletünket egymás jobb megismerésére is használhatjuk. Jim és Will kiskamaszok, akik nagyon szeretnének már felnőni. Egy nap vándorcirkusz érkezik a városukba, szörnyszülöttekkel és fantasztikus mutatványokkal, a fiúk azonban kilesik a nagy titkot a cirkusz körhintájáról. Az ördögi Tetovált Ember és társulata a nyomukba ered. Miközben Jim és Will a legijesztőbb rémálmaikkal küzdenek meg, rádöbbennek, hogy a gyermekkorból a félelmeiken át vezet ki az út. A _Gonosz lélek közeleg_ hamisítatlan amerikai álom, költői regény a felnőtté válásról a gyermeki fantázia felől közelítve. Bradbury egyik leghíresebb és legnépszerűbb műve hosszú idő után most jelenik meg újra magyarul.

Philip K. Dick - Álmodnak-e ​az androidok elektronikus bárányokkal?
Nexus ​6, másolatok, Deckard, Rachel… A nevek ismerősek. A könyv is. Philip K. Dick korszakalkotó regénye, amely alapját képezte Ridley Scott kultfilmjének, a Szárnyas fejvadásznak. A kötethez három vezető irodalomtörténész - Bényei Tamás, H. Nagy Péter és Tillman J.A. - írt kísérő szöveget, amelyek segítségével végre a helyére kerülhet Dick egyik legnagyobb hatású alkotása. „Egy apró tényt ajánlanék mindenki figyelmébe, aki már teljesen elveszett a modern világ vég nélkül sokasodó valóságaiban. Emlékezzetek: Philip K. Dick járt ott először." Terry Gilliam

Andy Weir - The ​Martian
_Apollo ​13 meets Castaway in this grippingly detailed, brilliantly ingenious man-vs-nature survival thriller-set on the surface of Mars._ Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first men to walk on the surface of Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first man to die there. It started with the dust storm that holed his suit and nearly killed him-and that forced his crew to leave him behind, sure he was already dead. Now he's stranded millions of miles from the nearest human being, with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive-and even if he could get word out, his food would be gone years before a rescue mission could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to get him first. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills-and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit-he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. But will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

Larry Niven - A ​Hole in Space
The ​Perfect Crime: The invention of displacement booths produced one hell of a crime wave. If a man in, say, Hawaii could commit murder in, say, Chicago and be back in the time it would take him to visit the men's room, he would have a perfect alibi. And the police would have a problem. But that's only one of the problems found in Larry Niven's universe, in this collection of stories all about teleportation, deep space, black holes, artificial worlds and Louis Wu--our old friend from the "Known Space" cycle--Niven once again proves he's a master builder of fantastic worlds!

Robert Charles Wilson - Axis
Wildly ​praised by readers and critics alike, Robert Charles Wilson’s Spin won science fiction’s highest honor, the Hugo Award for Best Novel. Now, in Spin’s direct sequel, Wilson takes us to the "world next door"--the planet engineered by the mysterious Hypotheticals to support human life, and connected to Earth by way of the Arch that towers hundreds of miles over the Indian Ocean. Humans are colonizing this new world--and, predictably, fiercely exploiting its resources, chiefly large deposits of oil in the western deserts of the continent of Equatoria. Lise Adams is a young woman attempting to uncover the mystery of her father's disappearance ten years earlier. Turk Findley is an ex-sailor and sometimes-drifter. They come together when an infall of cometary dust seeds the planet with tiny remnant Hypothetical machines. Soon, this seemingly hospitable world will become very alien indeed--as the nature of time is once again twisted, by entities unknown.

Kurt Vonnegut - Galápagos ​(angol)
Galápagos ​takes the reader back one million years, to A.D. 1986. A simple vacation cruise suddenly becomes an evolutionary journey. Thanks to an apocalypse, a small group of survivors stranded on the Galápagos Islands are about to become the progenitors of a brave, new, and totally different human race. In this inimitable novel, America’s master satirist looks at our world and shows us all that is sadly, madly awry–and all that is worth saving.

Az új ember már semmiben sem hasonlít elődjére, ha akarna se tudna hazudni és gonoszságokat előidézni, mert tudatosan olyanná vált, hogy erre ne lehessen képes.

Yet just when Joanna thinks she understands, she’s in for the biggest surprise of all — a shattering scenario that will keep you feverishly reading until the final climactic page.

Kate Wilhelm - Where ​Late the Sweet Birds Sang
