Military Space History

Самое страшное и непредсказуемое, что может оставить после себя развитая цивилизация, - это самодостаточные боевые машины, которым поставлена глобальная задача. Когда некому отменить приказ, они будут ждать своего часа: накопят ресурсы, соберутся с силами и ударят в самый неожиданный момент.

It is difficult, I suppose, for the children of our safe, modern republic to imagine what life had been like in those days, under the Zin occupation. How does one explain the inexplicable? How does one describe the indescribable? How does one get across what it is like to live in a world with no safety, to expect, at any moment, the fatal knock on the door, to know, every waking minute of every waking day, that the very next breath might be one’s last? There are no words for such things. And so, when my grandchildren ask me, I tell them the only thing I can: We lived those days, I tell ...

Welcome to the apocalypse, Norse style! In 2147, an insurgency prepares to strike at an occupying force that has warehoused most humans in orbital habitats. Across the post-American West of 2041, rival groups battle for control of a massive nuclear arsenal. On July 20, 1944, a group of German rebels are about to attempt the assassination of Hitler and launch a coup against the evil Nazi regime. A group hike in Iceland isn't supposed to make these three events intersect, much less end in the death of all Worlds. But that's exactly what six friends trigger when they accidentally breach the ...

Pro tip: When a bunch of alien cats from outer space start blowing up cities without warning, prior plans may have to be altered. Be prepared to improvise. Yosi Weismann had a simple gig: Babysit a grossly irresponsible young man, who just happened to be a prince. Let His Excellency sow his wild oats. Don’t let him kill himself, or anyone else, in the process. Piece of cake for a man of his skills. A glorified vacation. That's how things were supposed to go, at any rate. Now Yosi is marooned on a foreign world, surrounded by people whom he doesn’t understand, hunted by enemies who ...

Even in our darkest hour, it must be stated clearly, the Living Goddess did not abandon Her flock. For beneath the alien jackboot, even when very hope itself seemed lost, there arose, by Her Grace, those yet willing to hold high the torch. We were rich. We were poor. We were young. We were old. We sprang from the soil of this planet. We came from far off-world. We were herdeiros. We were minorities. We held advanced degrees. We were illiterate. We’d been born to arms. We had never touched a weapon in our lives. We were as varied as Her Panoply, our paths to Her Truth – as many as the ...

Нить судьбы, протянутая через столетия. Мальчик, девочка и андроид, на кладбище кораблей, дрейфующем в космосе, на месте одной из битв галактической войны. Как они оказались там? Способны ли выжить, среди непримиримых схваток машин, для которых война не завершится никогда?

Die Öffentlichkeit liebt Captain Keyes, das Oberkommando hingegen hasst ihn. Er ist Kapitän der SVM Providence, eines alternden Superträgers. Sie ist das letzte Schiff der Menschen, das nicht von dunkler Technologie abhängig ist – einer Technologie, dank der die Menschheit seit dem knappen Sieg über die Ixa im Ersten Galaktischen Krieg die Galaxie beherrscht.

Потерянная колония времен Великого Исхода. Еще одна страница истории освоения дальнего космоса. Ещё одна планета, где страх восстания машин стал навязчивым, а люди стремятся уничтожить всех киборгов.

Зловещее наследие галактической войны - искусственный разум, известный, как "Пакет программ независимого поведения "Одиночка". Многие годы данная киберсистема считалась жутким порождением запредельных военных технологий.
