Boek 4 in de Dagboek van een Moordbot-serie (de Nederlandse editie van de Murderbot Diaries) van Martha Wells. ‘Ik zag er inmiddels menselijker uit. Dat beviel me voor geen meter.’ Moordbot is niet geprogrammeerd met gevoelens. Dus het irrationele besluit om de enige mens die Moordbot ooit met respect heeft behandeld te gaan redden is duidelijk een systeemfout, toch? Na een zoektocht waarin het de halve Melkweg doorkruist heeft, gaat Moordbot terug naar hui– naar Dr. Mensahs huis, om haar te helpen in haar gevecht tegen de GrayCris Corporation en hun tomeloze hebzucht, die al aan zoveel kolonisten het leven heeft gekost. Maar wie gaat ooit een losgeslagen Moordbot geloven? ‘Exit Strategy – Einde oefening’ is het vierde boek in de Dagboek van een Moordbot-serie van Martha Wells, de serie die wereldwijd miljoenen fans heeft, overladen is met prijzen, en verfilmd is als The Murderbot Diaries. De avonturen van Moordbot begonnen in ‘All Systems Red – Alle seinen rood’, ‘Artificial Condition – Kunstmatig leven’, en ‘Rogue Protocol – Vals positief’.

Effet de réseau a été couronné par les prix Locus 2021 et Nebula 2020. « Dans la catégorie androïde, je suis une SecUnit séditieuse. Il y a beau temps que j’ai piraté mon module superviseur et j’ai pris goût au libre arbitre. Cela m’apparente-t-il au genre humain ? Beurk. Sûrement pas. Dans l’ensemble les humains sont des imbéciles répugnants dévorés par leurs émotions. » Mais on ne se refait pas. Ou bien si, justement. Et quand une mission d’exploration de ceux qui l’ont accueilli dans leur communauté tombe sous l’assaut d’un bâtiment hostile, AssaSynth n’hésite pas à payer de sa personne. À plus forte raison si la situation tourne à l’inextricable : un vaisseau qui-n’est-pas-son-ami (« ça n’a rien à voir avec les interactions humaines ») décérébré, des pirates contrôlés par un implant sauvage, un monde dévoyé qu’on s’arrache et jusqu’à une ado encombrante trop futée. Il faut protéger les uns (y compris d’eux-mêmes), rentrer dans le lard des autres. Et attention : se méfier des reliques aliens imprévisibles. Action. Le roman Effet de réseau fait suite aux quatre novellas du « Journal d’un AssaSynth ». Effet de réseau a été couronné par les prix Locus 2021 et Nebula 2020.

SecUnit Moordbot heeft een duister verleden – een waarin een groep mensen is omgekomen. Een verleden dat de réden is voor de zelfgekozen naam ‘Moordbot’. Maar de unit heeft alleen vage herinneringen aan het bloedbad dat die naam voortbracht, en het wil meer weten. Samen met een transportschip genaamd ART (waarbij de ‘A’ een… creatieve… toevoeging is), gaat Moordbot terug naar de mijnbouwfaciliteit waar het ooit besloot de gouverneursmodule te hacken en voor zichzelf te denken. Wat Moordbot daar ontdekt, verandert alles wat het over zichzelf dacht te weten. ‘Artificial Condition – Kunstmatig leven’ is het tweede boek in de Dagboek van een Moordbot-serie van Martha Wells, de serie die wereldwijd miljoenen fans heeft, overladen is met prijzen, en verfilmd is als The Murderbot Diaries.

A New York Times and USA Today Bestseller Winner: 2018 Hugo Award for Best Novella Winner: 2018 Nebula Award for Best Novella Winner: 2018 Alex Award Winner: 2018 Locus Award One of the Verge''s Best Books of 2017 A murderous android discovers itself in All Systems Red, a tense science fiction adventure by Martha Wells that interrogates the roots of consciousness through Artificial Intelligence. "As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure." In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid — a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is. But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it''s up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth. The Murderbot Diaries All Systems Red Artificial Condition Rogue Protocol Exit Strategy Network Effect Fugitive Telemetry System Collapse

Filled with wonder, adventure, magic, and danger, this is the first volume in an epic fantasy trilogy--the sequel to "The Death of the Necromancer"--from "one of the best new writers the field has to offer" (C. J. Cherryh).

This collection includes the previously published stories “The Potter’s Daughter” (a prequel to the novel The Element of Fire), “Holy Places,” “Rites of Passage,” “Houses of the Dead,” “Reflections” (the Giliead and Ilias stories, prequels to the Fall of Ile-Rien trilogy), as well as “Night at the Opera” (a Nicholas and Reynard story original to this collection, set before the Nebula-nominated novel The Death of the Necromancer).

In Fugitive Telemetry, when Murderbot discovers a body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people-who knew?)

Le royaume d''Île-Rien vit des heures tourmentées : un puissant sorcier fait planer d''indicibles menaces. D''obscures intrigues se nouent autour du jeune roi Roland, et Kade, la demi-fée - sœur bâtarde du roi - prépare en secret son retour. Le capitaine Thomas Boniface, pilier de la Cour et soldat émérite, pourra-t-il éviter que le royaume ne sombre dans le chaos ? Empruntant autant à la verve échevelée d''Alexandre Dumas qu''à la noirceur vénéneuse des romans gothiques, Martha Wells tisse un récit terriblement envoûtant.
