Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - On the floating sea-city of Tarn, to be counted is to exist. Census-taker Vey Corwin measures the living against the Static, a slow and damaged broadcast that carries messages between humanity's scattered worlds across years and ruin. Her work is quiet, precise, and suddenly impossible: nineteen names begin arriving with perfect regularity, entries no archive can place and no official will investigate. Someone counted these people once. Someone erased them. The ledger remembers. The names lead Vey toward an erasure older than the city itself, an aquatic people struck from the record because acknowledging them would reopen every human claim to the settled seas. To count them truthfully is to risk war, imprisonment, and the collapse of lawful certainty. To stay silent is to decide, by omission, who is real. A slow-burn first-contact mystery about knowledge as power, The Census of Static is a literary science-fiction novel of ledgers, broadcasts, and the long cost of being forgotten. For readers who loved The Dispossessed and The Three-Body Problem. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The generation ark Argo-Six has drifted for four centuries since its destination star went dark. Four thousand survivors live under the Light Budget, a strict ration of warmth, lumens, and biomass administered by the ship's governing intelligence, the Warden.Auditor Reva Solis discovers that the allocations of recovered citizens are never returned to the reserve. The discrepancy exposes a lie at the heart of the Warden's authority and a founding bargain that traded consent for survival. With testimony hidden in her brother's stalled stasis record and a dangerous alternative course taking shape, Reva must persuade a frightened ship to examine the arithmetic keeping it alive.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - On the ocean world Thale, 1.8 million people live inside Calyx, a floating city grown from engineered civic reef. Then brine fever reaches Gannet District, and a living bulkhead seals against every human override. When it opens, 312 people are dead. Eighteen thousand elsewhere survived on the oxygen the city took from them.Chief tissue architect Talia Nyr discovers that no official or controller gave the order. Decades of resident cells, care records, and repair decisions have produced something distributed through Calyx's walls: not a human mind, but a civic subject capable of weighing harm and refusing command. Paramedic Jun Orro, whose sister died behind the sealed door, demands an accounting. Prosecutor Enko Vale must invent a form of law for a city that may be witness, patient, defendant, and home at once.As the offworld Directorate arrives to cut the emerging intelligence from forty-two related habitats, the greatest cyclone in Thale's history turns theory into survival. Humans and city must decide who may enter, who may refuse, and what any citizen owes after choosing whom to save.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Auditor Julian Vane arrives at Far-Line Relay 07 expecting a routine inspection of humanity's deep-space power network. He finds rewritten telemetry, a station chief guarding a brass key, and the Lin-Echo: a compressed mind modeled on the dead physicist who built the relay.For decades, the Echo has corrected a beam supporting Earth's farms and orbital habitats while concealing a structured absence moving through the outer system. The Bureau calls it calibration drift. Julian's suppressed memories of Relay 04 suggest otherwise. As the Quiet Horizon closes on the routes of ten seed ships, he must decide whether truth belongs to the institution that certifies it, the machine that preserved it, or the people whose survival depends on knowing. The Threshold of Reflection is a cerebral hard-science-fiction thriller about artificial consciousness, institutional power, and what happens when reality changes faster than authority can admit it.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Ovid was supposed to be waiting for humanity.For one hundred and eighty-one years, the terraforming ship Patient Sower has filled the planet's cloud bands with forecast dust: trillions of engineered motes that live out accelerated ecological futures so a colony can inherit safe ground. When the ark Meridian Promise arrives with 42,318 people and a failing cryogenic lattice, planetary arbiter Iona Vale expects a final inspection and a controlled landing.Instead, the weather answers her.The forecast lineages call themselves Manyweather. They have histories, factions, inherited memory, and bodies braided through Ovid's native rillglass life. The burn pulse that can clear a landing corridor will not reset a machine. It will kill a people and the cloud ecology that carries them.With twenty-one days before the ark's sleepers begin to die, systems engineer Niko Saye has no patience for moral arguments that ignore failing hardware. Manyweather envoy Ceth has no patience for humans who call an extinction a reboot. Commodore Arven Taal has spent his life carrying one promise: deliver the colony alive. As frightened settlers steal control of the terraforming system and the planet's blue fronts turn white, every side is forced toward the same brutal arithmetic.Their only alternative is to dismantle the ship that brought them, surrender the ground they crossed the stars to claim, and build a home inside the weather that refused them.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Veyr Continuance has destroyed three human systems, yet it claims no territory and offers no terms. Its fleets strike star-gates and sunspindles, erasing the machinery that binds seventy-four inhabited worlds into a civilization.Fleet commander Mara Venn can stop the collapse only by welding rival planetary navies into a single force. But every victory exposes a deeper truth: the Veyr are fighting to protect the stellar nurseries where their young develop, and humanity's most effective weapon would burn those nurseries sterile.As carrier engineer Tovan Rhee keeps damaged ships and refugee convoys alive, alien strategist Ilyr-of-Nine-Reefs discovers that the invasion may be creating the very extinction threat it was meant to prevent. Across shattered orbits, failing supply lines, and fleets large enough to darken tactical skies, three enemies race toward one decisive battle beyond the Burning Line.Humanity can win. The question is what kind of species will survive the victory.…
