Showing results for "the emergency" in Science Fiction

An empire has collapsed from boredom and loss of faith in itself. In the Emergency that follows, youth rebellions of urban Burghers and rural Yeomen embrace radical new ideas of humanity. Doctor Hugo Rustin, chief surgeon at the Imperial College Hospital, is increasingly estranged from his city and his family - from his wife, Annabelle, who finds fulfillment in their changed community; and especially from his teenage daughter, Selva, who has turned against her father's values.

What will become of our self-destructed planet? The answer shatters all expectations in this subversive speculation from the Hugo Award - winning author of the Broken Earth trilogy. An explorer returns to gather information from a climate-ravaged Earth that his ancestors, and others among the planet’s finest, fled centuries ago. The mission comes with a warning: A graveyard world awaits him. But so do those left behind - hopeless and unbeautiful wastes of humanity who should have died out ages ago.

When James witnesses a brutal killing outside his home, he must choose between seeking help or waiting for rescue in a city overrun by the infected. Trapped in his lab as the city descends into chaos, scientist Daniel waits for the infected surrounding the building to disperse. When they refuse to budge even days later, he realizes he's going to be stuck there for a long time.

An der Spitze des Weltraum-Aufklärungsteams, das von der Erde entsandt wurde, steht Captain Taylor Ray, um in den unendlichen Weiten der Galaxie nach Anzeichen der Hedalt zu suchen, jener längst besiegten außerirdischen Feinde der Menschheit. Niemand erwartet wirklich, dass sie etwas Bedeutendes entdecken, denn das ist bislang noch niemandem gelungen. Nach Jahrzehnten der Jagd nach den Überresten der Hedalt über Lichtjahre hinweg, sind nur noch verlassene Geister-Stützpunkte übrig – längst vergessene Außenposten einer seit langem untergegangenen Zivilisation.
