Au tréfonds du ciel

release date: Jan 01, 2004
Au tréfonds du ciel
Dans l''immensité de la Galaxie, l''étoile Marche-Arrêt est une énigme. Elle s''éteint pendant deux cent quinze ans puis se rallume pour trente-cinq ans. Son unique planète est habitée par des araignées intelligentes qui viennent d''inventer la radio. Leurs signaux attirent deux expéditions interstellaires. Celle des Queng Ho, un peuple marchand et itinérant qui parcourt l''espace en vendant et en achetant de l''information technologique. Et celle des Émergents, issus d''une civilisation violente et sadique qui a fait de la lutte pour le pouvoir son mode de vie. Qui l''emportera ? Un chef-d''œuvre du space opera. Au tréfonds du ciel a obtenu le prix Hugo 2000 et se situe dans le même univers, mille ans plus tôt, que le roman précédent de Vernor Vinge, Un feu sur l''abîme (Prix Hugo 1993), publié dans la même collection.

The Peace War

release date: Dec 01, 2003
The Peace War
The novel that garnered Vinge his first "Best Novel" Hugo Finalist nomination, back in print after thirteen years. With a combination of hard-SF concepts, tight plotting, and appealing characters, Vinge tells a now-classic story of the Few triumphing over the Many. The Peace Authority, wielding a new state-of-the-art weapon, takes over the world, and claims to be "maintaining the peace" while really controlling the scattered survivors of the new world. The inventor of their weapon, which was never meant to be a weapon at all, leads a resistance of high-tech "tinkers" who fight to defeat the "Peace."

Un feu sur l'abîme

release date: Jan 01, 1994
Un feu sur l'abîme
Un feu sur l''abîme, énorme à tous les sens du terme, renoue avec la grande tradition épique de la Science-Fiction, où l''extravagant est de rigueur et où l''impossible ne constitue qu''une difficulté passagère. Mais l''imagination effervescente de Vernor Vinge respecte toujours les lois de la logique et autant que possible celles de l''univers. Une expédition straumlienne, explorant une Archive dans la presque Transcendance, a déchaîné une Perversion sur la galaxie entière. Un unique navire est parvenu à fuir dans la nuit épouvantable. A travers l''espace, il fonce vers le centre de la galaxie, vers Les Lenteurs où l''on ne peut pas dépasser la vitesse de la lumière, où les systèmes informatiques les plus performants - même les si lentes intelligences biologiques - subissent une perte de leurs facultés. Il cherche un monde où se poser. Les deux seuls survivants de l''expédition détiennent sans le savoir la clé du salut de millions de civilisations, dont certaines sont bien plus anciennes que l''humanité : ce sont deux enfants, Johanna et Jefri, abandonnés à eux-mêmes sur un monde médiéval, dont les conflits et les cruautés ne le cèdent en rien à ceux de la galaxie. Et ceux qui voudraient les aider, et sauver du même coup la galaxie civilisée, se trouvent encore à des milliers d''années-lumière...

A Fire Upon The Deep

release date: Feb 15, 1993
A Fire Upon The Deep
A Fire Upon the Deep is the big, breakout book that fulfills the promise of Vinge''s career to date: a gripping tale of galactic war told on a cosmic scale. Thousands of years hence, many races inhabit a universe where a mind''s potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures and technology can function. Nobody knows what strange force partitioned space into these "regions of thought," but when the warring Straumli realm use an ancient Transcendent artifact as a weapon, they unwittingly unleash an awesome power that destroys thousands of worlds and enslaves all natural and artificial intelligence. Fleeing the threat, a family of scientists, including two children, are taken captive by the Tines, an alien race with a harsh medieval culture, and used as pawns in a ruthless power struggle. A rescue mission, not entirely composed of humans, must rescue the children-and a secret that may save the rest of interstellar civilization. A Fire Upon The Deep is the winner of the 1993 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
