New Releases by Daniel H. Wilson

A gripping sci-fi thriller--and Native American First Contact story--from the New York Times bestselling author of Robopocalypse, Daniel Wilson, who is a Cherokee Nation citizen and works as a threat forecaster for NASA. Heliopause is a real place--the very outer edge of our solar system where the sun''s solar winds are no longer strong enough to keep debris and intrusions from bombarding our system. It is the farthest edge of our protected boundary (it was recently crossed by Voyager), and the line beyond which space experts look for extraterrestrial presences. This is where Daniel Wilson''s fascinating novel begins. Weaving together the story of Jim, a down-on-his-luck absentee father in the Osage territory of Oklahoma, and his daughter, Tawny, with those of a NASA engineer, a misfit anonymous genius who lives in military isolation analyzing a secret incoming "Pattern," and a CIA investigator tasked with tracking unexplained encounters, Heliopause explores a Native American first contact that pulls all five characters into something never before seen or imagined.

The stunning follow-up to the multiple-award-winning anthology of SFF by people of colour Octavia E. Butler said, “There’s nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns.” New Suns 2 brings you fresh visions of the strange, the unexpected, the shocking—breakthrough stories, stories shining with emerging truths, stories that pierce stale preconceptions with their beauty and bravery. Like the first New Suns anthology (winner of the World Fantasy, Locus, IGNYTE, and British Fantasy awards), this book liberates writers of many races to tell us tales no one has ever told. Many things come in twos: dualities, binaries, halves, and alternates. Twos are found throughout New Suns 2, in eighteen science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories revealing daring futures, hidden pasts, and present-day worlds filled with unmapped wonders. Including stories by Daniel H. Wilson, K. Tempest Bradford, Darcie Little Badger, Geetanjali Vandemark, John Chu, Nghi Vo, Tananarive Due, Alex Jennings, Karin Lowachee, Saad Hossain, Hiromi Goto, Minsoo Kang, Tlotlo Tsamaase, Rochita Loenen-Ruiz, Malka Older, Kathleen Alcalá, Christopher Caldwell and Jaymee Goh with a foreword by Walter Mosley and an afterword by Dr. Grace Dillon.

1967 stürzte eine unbemannte US-Raumsonde über Arizona ab. An Bord befand sich ein außerirdischer Mikroorganismus, der jeden getötet hat, der damit in Kontakt kam. Ein Team aus den besten Wissenschaftlern schaffte es, die Verbreitung des Organismus, den sie Andromeda getauft hatten, zu verhindern. In der Fairchild Air Force Base wacht seither das Project Eternal Vigilance über die Erde: Es soll beim geringsten Anzeichen eines Andromeda-Ausbruchs losschlagen können. Jetzt, nach Jahrzehnten ohne einen Zwischenfall, steht die Task Force kurz vor dem Aus. Da entdeckt eine Drohne mitten im brasilianischen Dschungel die chemische Signatur Andromedas. Doch der extraterrestrische Organismus hat sich weiterentwickelt – zu einer noch tödlicheren Gefahr für die Menschheit ...

Auteur de best-sellers adaptés au cinéma ( Jurassic Park...), Michael Crichton, le pionnier du thriller scientifique d''anticipation, n''avait pas dit son dernier mot !

L''exposition accidentelle à cette microparticule – nommée la Variété Andromède – a décimé la quasi-totalité d''une petite ville de l''Arizona. Pendant cinq jours, une équipe de scientifiques d''élite a œuvré sans relâche pour sauver le monde d''une épidémie aux proportions sans précédent... Mais des décennies ont passé. L''humanité pensait être sauvée, quand un drone détecte une anomalie au beau milieu de la jungle brésilienne. Une " chose " protéiforme dont les composantes ne sont pas sans rappeler celles de la Variété Andromède... Dépêchée en urgence, une nouvelle équipe de spécialistes sait que le temps lui est compté. La bactérie mutante grossit et gagne du terrain sur la forêt amazonienne. Jusqu''à potentiellement détruire toute forme de vie sur Terre. La menace Andromède est de retour !

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Fifty years after The Andromeda Strain made Michael Crichton a household name—and spawned a new genre, the technothriller—the threat returns, in a gripping sequel that is terrifyingly realistic and resonant. The Evolution is Coming. In 1967, an extraterrestrial microbe came crashing down to Earth and nearly ended the human race. Accidental exposure to the particle—designated The Andromeda Strain—killed every resident of the town of Piedmont, Arizona, save for an elderly man and an infant boy. Over the next five days, a team of top scientists assigned to Project Wildfire worked valiantly to save the world from an epidemic of unimaginable proportions. In the moments before a catastrophic nuclear detonation, they succeeded. In the ensuing decades, research on the microparticle continued. And the world thought it was safe… Deep inside Fairchild Air Force Base, Project Eternal Vigilance has continued to watch and wait for the Andromeda Strain to reappear. On the verge of being shut down, the project has registered no activity—until now. A Brazilian terrain-mapping drone has detected a bizarre anomaly of otherworldly matter in the middle of the jungle, and, worse yet, the tell-tale chemical signature of the deadly microparticle. With this shocking discovery, the next-generation Project Wildfire is activated, and a diverse team of experts hailing from all over the world is dispatched to investigate the potentially apocalyptic threat. But the microbe is growing—evolving. And if the Wildfire team can’t reach the quarantine zone, enter the anomaly, and figure out how to stop it, this new Andromeda Evolution will annihilate all life as we know it.

It''s the twenty-first century and let''s be honest-things are a little disappointing. Despite every World''s Fair prediction, every futuristic ride at Disneyland, and the advertisements on the last page of every comic book, we are not living the future we were promised. By now, life was supposed to be a fully automated, atomic-powered, germ-free Utopia, a place where a grown man could wear a velvet spandex unitard and not be laughed at. Where are the ray guns, the flying cars, and the hoverboards that we expected? What happened to our promised moon colonies? Our servant robots? In Where''s My Jetpack?, roboticist Daniel H. Wilson takes a hilarious look at the future we always imagined for ourselves. He exposes technology, spotlights existing prototypes, and reveals drawing-board plans. You will learn which technologies are already available, who made them, and where to find them. If the technology is not public, you will learn how to build, buy, or steal it. And if doesn''t yet exist, you will learn what stands in the way of making it real. With thirty entries spanning everything from teleportation to self-contained skyscraper cities, and superbly illustrated by Richard Horne (101 Things to Do Before You Die), Where''s My Jetpack? is an endlessly entertaining, one-of-a-kind look at the world that we always wanted. Daniel H. Wilson, Ph.D, has a degree in Robotics from Carnegie-Mellon. He is the author of How to Survive a Robot Uprising. He lives in Portland, Oregon.

It goes without saying that robots kill. They hunt, swarm, and fire lasers from their eyes. They even beat humans at chess. So who better to stand with us when the real villains arrive? Movies instruct us that, whether we like it or not, we will one day be under siege by pirates, ninjas, zombies, aliens, and Godzilla. Also great white sharks. And-let''s face it-we''re not prepared. But with the advice contained in this brilliantly illustrated, ingenious book, you can build your own robot army to fend off hordes of bloodthirsty foes. From common-sense injunctions ("never approach an unfamiliar robot in a militarized zone") to tactical pointers ("low-power radar beats cameras for detecting mummies in a fog-shrouded crypt") to engineering advice ("passive-dynamic exoskeleton suits will increase sprint speeds but not leg strength"), this book contains all the wisdom you''ll need to fend off the coming apocalypse. Witty, informative, and utterly original, How to Build a Robot Army is the ideal book for readers of any age.

Earth and its greatest champions have never felt so familiarÑor so alienÑin this alternate take on the DC Universe by writer DAN ABNETT (AQUAMAN, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY) and artist JORGE JIMƒNEZ (SUPERBOY, EARTH 2: WORLDÕS END). Green Lantern, Superman and a World Army cabinet of ÒWondersÓ have assumed leadership roles in an effort to unite the cities of Earth-2Éwhether the population of the still-rebuilding world likes it or not. But the growing sentiment against metahumans may soon prove moot. Earth-2 is a geologically barren world, unable to produce vital natural resources for its newly arrived inhabitants. And the resources that do exist are rapidly dwindling, prompting cities to wage all-out war against each other. Even as the Wonders struggle to prevent the last of a civilization from renewing its violent history, Batman and his allies take the battle to the mysterious Mist, who profits from the racketeering of power cells steeped in toxic waste. Unfortunately for them, heÕs also recruited a Wonder of his own in Hourman. Meanwhile, Hawkgirl may have uncovered Earth-2Õs greatest threat: the world-changing intentions of an Amazon race resurrected by Wonder WomanÕs daughter, Fury!

New York Times best-selling author Daniel H. Wilson delivers a thrilling sci-fi series that raises hard questions about free will and the nature of good and evil. Humanity has discovered the root of all evil: the Malnoro virus-a devastating malady that modifies the neural pathways for empathy. Those infected have been forcibly imprisoned in the Quarantine Zone (whether they choose to do good or evil). Meanwhile, the rest of the cured world is sterile and crime-free, but permeated by an oppressive, paranoid fear of new outbreaks. If we could "cure" ourselves of the capability to do evil, should we? And could a person truly be good without the choice to do evil?

The saga of Earth-2 reaches its cataclysmic conclusion! The heroes of Earth-2 have been brave and bold in their resistance to the forces of Darkseid, but some enemies cannot be defeated.

But with Darkseid’s legions descending on Earth, it will take the combined might of every superhero on the planet just to give humanity a fighting chance. While Batman and his granddaughter Huntress go searching for Bruce Wayne’s secret doomsday contingency, the last survivors of Krypton-Power Girl and Superman-must face their own powerlessness in the face of Darkseid. While an entire planet fights for survival, the fate of the human race may ultimately come down to one man: Alan Scott, the Green Lantern, chosen Avatar of the Green.
