After Earth's demise, the last survivors have one goal: to contact any extant colonies left and warn them of a coming menace. Alien ships are arriving intent on the destruction of everything in their path. But then help arrives-from an unexpected and unwelcome source.
Todd is an orphan who drifts through high school hardly saying anything to anyone. He has few friends, he feels no connection to anyone, and he's tormented daily by a bully. His small hometown of Kirkland has been hit hard by the 1980's recession, his adoptive father died a few years ago, and his family is broke. Despite being a whiz at computers, he doesn't feel he has any future until one day he speaks to an orphan from Chicago who had been born in Kirkland and adopted in unusual circumstances. He discovers he has a strange connection with other orphans who want to understand their past. When he and the other orphans search Kirkland for clues they make a discovery that changes their lives and could change the course of humanity... if they're not careful.
On the brink of extinction, a suicide mission is humanity’s last hope. The Gifts of an alien race called the Spinners gave Peter Alander hope for the future of humanity. All the Gifts did, though, was draw down the wrath of the Starfish, another alien race apparently intent on wiping out all forms of competition. Caught between the two, humanity faces the hard decision of evolving into something else entirely simply to survive. As their new alien allies prepare to leave human space forever, a handful of survivors band together to make one last attempt to communicate with their enemies. A single ship will leap into the very heart of the Starfish fleet, attempting to find reason where none exists… “Space opera can be a very comforting, cozy mode, with its interstellar empires and royalty and guilds. But when dramatic Darwinian forces are brought into play, as here, space opera can become a kind of bracing, near-apocalyptic tale.” —Paul di Filippo “A melodramatic (or space-operatic) take on Stapledon, a grittier, bleaker take on Clarke…. a vision very different from the triumphalism of traditional SF adventure, but its darkness seems entirely appropriate to the twenty-first century we actually inhabit.” —Locus Nominated for the Aurealis Award.
A rich and varied cultural and social history of an overlooked but ever-present phenomenon, and an impassioned plea for proper care today.
When earth needs heroes, whom will we call to valor? When mankind's enemy is beyond our worst imagination, who will be our champions? Will we pick the brightest and the toughest? Or the ones with nothing left to lose? War is an Orphanage Mankind's first alien contact tears into Earth: projectiles launched from Jupiter's moon, Ganymede, have vaporized whole cities. Under siege, humanity gambles on one desperate counterstrike. In a spacecraft scavenged from scraps and armed with Vietnam-era weapons, foot soldiers like eighteen-year-old Jason Wander-orphans that no one will miss-must dare man's first interplanetary voyage and invade Ganymede. They have one chance to attack, one ship to attack with. Their failure is our extinction.
They are the last survivors of the settlers of the moon Sturnus, forty children rescued by the benevolent people of the planet Janus. Except Bear is starting to remember, and what he remembers is nothing like what he and the others have been told. Then, from nowhere, a glowing girl appears only he can see; and Bear begins to discover he has very special abilities. So, what really did happen to the people of Sturnus, and what is Bear supposed to do when the people he’s told are his rescuers may in fact be the people who destroyed his world? Ender’s Game meets the Singularity in an exciting story of self-discovery and courage. “Thompson’s compelling SF tale follows Bear’s harrowing quest to find the truth about what really happened in Sturnus…Thoughtful and engaging science fiction.” — Kirkus Reviews
