Science fiction: rumrejser og universet

The squad you love is out of time. Prepare for the thrilling finale in the epic, bestselling Aurora Cycle series about a band of unlikely heroes who just might be the galaxy's last hope for survival. Is this the end? What happens when you ask a bunch of losers, discipline cases and misfits to save the galaxy from an ancient evil? The ancient evil wins, of course. Wait . . . Not. So. Fast. When we last saw Squad 312, they were working together seamlessly (aka, freaking out) as an intergalactic battle raged and an ancient superweapon threatened to obliterate Earth. Everything went horribly wrong, naturally. But as it turns out, not all endings are endings, and the team has one last chance to rewrite theirs. Maybe two. It's complicated. Cue Zila, Fin and Scarlett (and Magellan!) making friends, making enemies and making history? Sure, no problem. Cue Tyler, Kal and Auri joining forces with two of the galaxy's most hated villains? Um, okay, yeah. That too. Actually saving the galaxy, though? Now that will take a miracle.

NEW YORK TIMESBESTSELLEROn the planet Tython, the ancient Je'daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Forceand found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je'daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je'daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency. The leader of a fanatical cult, obsessed with traveling beyond the reaches of known space, is bent on opening a cosmic gateway using dreaded dark matter as the keyrisking a cataclysmic reaction that will consume the entire star system.

Until a staggering revelation makes clear why she was chosen: The brilliant, dangerous madman she must track down and stop at any cost is the brother whose death she has long grievedand whose life she must now fear.NOTE: This version does not include the Dawn of the Jedi comic insert.Includes an original Dawn of the Jedi short story by John Ostrander!Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!Praise for Into the Void ';In a story filled with adventure, intrigue, and great quotes, there's a lot to like in this book. Tim Lebbon dives into his very first Star Wars story with a great deal of success. He manages to spin a tale that feels like Star Wars, but also feels different from other stories that have been told before. While there is some threat of system wide destruction, the point is never pushed to being ridiculous. The characters feel believable and provoke interest. The attention to the characters never takes away from the plot. There's also a remarkable balance between world building, plot and character development, and action. When it comes down to it, Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void is just great storytelling.'Roqoo Depot ';A nice, compact Star Wars tale that both acts as an introduction to the Dawn of the Jedi period and a standalone story.'Club Jade ';A solidly enjoyable read . . . a nice addition to the Expanded Universe.'Tosche Station ';A good solid Star Wars adventure story with heart.'Knights' Archive

The next adventure in the High Republic begins expanding the new era of Star Wars, with a story set generations before Light of the Jedi. It is an age of exploration. Jedi travel the galaxy, expanding their understanding of the Force and all the worlds and beings connected by it. Meanwhile, the Republic, led by its two chancellors, works to unite worlds in an ever-growing community among near and distant stars. On the close orbiting planets of Eiram and E'ronoh, the growing pains of a galaxy with limited resources but unlimited ambition are felt keenly. Their hatred for each other has fueled half a decade of escalating conflict and now threatens to consume surrounding systems. The last hope for peace emerges when heirs from the two planets' royal families plan to marry. Before lasting peace can be established, an assassination attempt targeting the couple tilts Eiram and E'ronoh back into all-out war. To save both worlds, Jedi Knight Gella Nattai volunteers to uncover the culprit, while Chancellor Kyong appoints her son, Axel Greylark, to represent the Republic's interests in the investigation. But Axel's deep distrust of the Jedi sparks against Gella's faith in the Force. She's never met such a puffed-up, privileged party boy, and he's never met a more self-serious, relentless do-gooder. The more they work to untangle the shadowy web of the investigation, the more complicated the conspiracy appears to be. With accusations flying and potential enemies in every shadow, the pair will have to work together to have any hope of bringing the truth to light and saving both worlds.

After the thrilling events of The High Republic: Convergence, the Jedi race to confront the Path of the Open Hand and end the Forever War. After five years of conflict, the planets Eiram and E’ronoh are on the cusp of real peace. But when news breaks of a disaster at the treaty signing on Jedha, violence reignites on the beleaguered worlds. Together, the royal heirs of both planets—Phan-tu Zenn and Xiri A’lbaran—working alongside the Jedi, have uncovered evidence that the conflict is being orchestrated by outside forces, and all signs point to the mysterious Path of the Open Hand, whom the Jedi also suspect of causing the disaster on Jedha. With time—and answers—in short supply, the Jedi must divide their focus between helping quell the renewed violence on Eiram and E’ronoh and investigating the Path. Among them is Gella Nattai, who turns to the one person she believes can unravel the mystery but the last person she wants to trust: Axel Greylark. The chancellor’s son, imprisoned for his crimes, has always sought to unburden himself of the weight of his family name. Will he reconcile with the Jedi and aid in their quest for justice and peace, or embrace the Path’s promise of true freedom? As all roads lead to Dalna, Gella and her allies prepare to take on a foe unlike any they’ve ever faced. And it will take all of their trust in the Force, and in one another, to survive.

Vil det langt om længe blive året, hvor vi beviser vores værd? Eller er mennesket dømt til undergang?

War is tearing the galaxy apart. For years the Republic and the Separatists have battled across the stars, each building more and more deadly technology in an attempt to win the war. As a member of Chancellor Palpatine's top secret Death Star project, Orson Krennic is determined to develop a superweapon before the Republic's enemies can. And an old friend of Krennic's, the brilliant scientist Galen Erso, could be the key. Galen's energy-focused research has captured the attention of both Krennic and his foes, making the scientist a crucial pawn in the galactic conflict. But after Krennic rescues Galen, his wife, Lyra, and their young daughter, Jyn, from Separatist kidnappers, the Erso family is deeply in Krennic's debt. Krennic then offers Galen an extraordinary opportunity: to continue his scientific studies with every resource put utterly at his disposal.

Trapped in their benefactor's tightening grasp, the Ersos must untangle Krennic's web of deception to save themselves and the galaxy itself.

Rumkrydseren Gateway er på vej til en jordlignende planet, som jordens folk har givet arbejdstitlen ’New Earth One’. I begyndelsen troede man det var en ubeboet verden (ud over eventuelt dyreliv) som jordens milliarder af mennesker kunne overtage. Man begynder derfor at planlægge en ekspedition, som skal afgøre om denne planet egner sig til kolonisation. Men under studiet af kloden er man blevet klar over, at der findes intelligent liv og endda en moderne civilisation.Formålet med ekspeditionen ændres fra at være ren overtagelse, til at skulle skabe kontakt med de indfødte og indlede et handelssamarbejde.Jack Lee er en lettere fordrukken psykolog og antropolog på ekspeditionen, og han sættes til at analysere de sociale og samfundsmæssige forhold i dette samfund.Hvad Jack finder, er en nærmest paradisisk verden befolket af unge, sunde og smukke mennesker, og et samfund hvor kriminalitet, grådighed og egoisme ikke eksisterer.Men efterhånden som Jacks undersøgelser afdækker mere og mere af systemets virkemåde, opdager han at sandheden er en helt anden: Nogen forsøger tydeligvis at slå hele planetens befolkning ihjel, gennem et fantastisk svindelnummer der indtil videre har kørt i århundreder.Men hvorfor?Jack og hans ven, IT-eksperten Boris, kommer på en opgave som ikke er af de helt små. Og det bliver ikke nemmere af at det efterhånden går op for dem, at ekspeditionens virkelige formål ikke helt er hvad de tror ...

Humans, refugees from their lost Ancient Earth, coexist with other peoples like the tribal Feles, the elite Kavki, and the distant Ekri.A human woman arrives on a remote asteroid prison. Unlike the other convicts, she is fascinating, defiant, and unbowed, earning the respect and hatred of guards and prisoners alike. Her name, hidden from all, is Mercedes Solari, Duchess of the planet New Dubai. Forced from her throne and banished for life, the galaxy now thinks her dead. But Mercedes has no intention of going quietly into that good night.When a chance encounter frees Mercedes from her prison, it sets her on a path of revenge. Changed by a decade of wear and backed by the money and influence of her new patron, she bends all her wits to a single task-the destruction of her enemies and the reclamation of her home and title.Whatever the cost.Filled with spine-tingling action, vicious political intrigue, and a starcruiser full of petty and beguiling characters alike, Starborn Vendetta is a triumph of galactic proportions. Buckle your harness and prepare for launch-the Cluster awaits.
