Space Exploration

The first mission to Europa – Jupiter's enigmatic moon – has landed, and humanity’s darkest fears are about to awaken. For years, mankind has speculated that this frozen world harbours a hidden ocean twice the size of all Earth’s oceans combined – an ocean potentially teeming with life. Driven by this tantalising mystery, they venture forth to unlock its secrets. But what they discover in the abyssal depths is far beyond anything they could have imagined.

In The Dalek Generation, by Nicholas Briggs, the Doctor is determined to find out the truth about Sunlight 349, one of the apparently benevolent Dalek Foundation worlds.

When the Doctor’s robot friend Kamelion reacts to the object unexpectedly, it has bewildering consequences for the TARDIS crew.

Deep in space lies the black hole known as Angelmass, so called because it emits enigmatic particles with the unusual ability to render humans calm, reasonable, and incapable of lying—which would normally be seen as a good thing. But not by everyone. Academic Jereko Kosta is pressed into service by the Pax to spy on the Empyrean, joining the crew of a ship actively hunting the particles. But what he learns turns out to be both scientifically fascinating and morally frightening.

When Carson Flint traded his Commonwealth military badge for the quiet life, he thought he'd left his battles behind. Two years of running a saloon called the Bulwark, a volatile hub for refugees, smugglers, and the occasional war-weary soldier, was the peace he'd been looking for. He's never had it easier, or been so bored. But when a fugitive Commonwealth operative arrives with dangerous secrets and a war criminal on his tail, Carson's sanctuary quickly becomes a target.

A chance encounter with a stranger on a desert outing was about to change his life.

When NASA's Sentinel I satellite detects an impossible reflection and a mysterious signal from Shackleton Crater, the world is thrown into chaos.

As China scrambles to exploit the revelation, a new moon race ignites, pushing humanity to the brink.

Robots are building a colossal telescope on the far side of the moon, with just two people supervising its completion. After a minor incident, these scientists become aware of an obstacle in the lunar soil. It's located outside the area reserved for the hypertelescope and is therefore none of their business. But their curiosity gets the better of them. The artifact seems to have properties that completely defy physics as they know it.

À l'intérieur de la Station spatiale internationale, chacun des six astronautes s'affaire à sa tâche, traversé par des interrogations existentielles. Certains s'inquiètent du sort de leur mariage, l'un rêve d'emmener sa fille dans l'espace tandis qu'une autre fait le deuil de sa mère. Si loin et si proches de la Terre, les astronautes n'ont jamais autant eu l'impression d'en faire partie, mais aussi d'en être les gardiens. Le temps s'écoule au rythme des orbites autour de la Terre, qui tient le rôle principal de ce roman contemplatif, mélancolique et à l'humour délicat.

A dead man's quest is never over. Zane Lucas inherits more than his wildest dreams from a man he's never met. The same week, a mysterious cluster of drones appears before him during a random border patrol. Who sent them in the first place? Earth's alliance with the Gral is on the brink of collapse. The forty-three colonies are under duress, and an unknown entity is coming for them.

The black monolith has escaped destruction—for now. What no one on the moon realizes is that the artifact is holding the explorer who first touched it captive in a very special way. Will he be able to escape this trap in time? If not, the very existence of the solar system is at stake. Because the monolith has a purpose that its human discoverers would consider utterly impossible—if they knew about it.

The only hope for mankind is Project Orpheus, an unprecedented initiative on the part of the allied governments to enable human life to continue on Kepler-442b, a planet over a thousand light years from Earth. Two spaceships are under construction, which will leave for that remote solar system with a specialized crew to terraform the planet and make it habitable. Steven Rhodes, the director of Project Orpheus, will travel in the first of them. His daughter Emily, a specialist technician in Artificial Intelligence, will follow on the second ship, five years later.

Head peace officer Anya Savelova believed her people, living on a hostile planet in the ice-bound city of Novayarkha, were the last of humanity. Until the day she learned they weren't. When a starship from an Earth thought long dead appears in orbit over her world, Anya imagines an explosion of possible futures, offering her people the freedom to transcend the limiting environment of the planet they'd thought was their last refuge. In the starship's crew, Anya finds creativity, diversity, innovation–all things the colony has had to inhibit to survive.

Bruce Trio wakes to chaos aboard the Aperture Vortex, a starship trapped in a relentless time loop. Each reset brings him closer to the heart of an anomaly pulling him toward destruction—and a truth that redefines his existence. As Bruce navigates the loop, his dry wit and introspective nature drive him to uncover fragments of a corporate conspiracy. NovaDyne Corporation didn’t just send him on this mission; they made him its focus. The anomaly reacts to his choices, revealing a bridge connecting timelines and a test of his resilience.
