The Shattering Peace (eBook, ePUB)
eBook, ePUB
After a decade, acclaimed science fiction master John Scalzi returns to the galaxy of the Old Man's War series with the long awaited seventh book, The Shattering Peace
THE PEACE IS SHATTERING
For a decade, peace has reigned in interstellar space. A tripartite agreement between the Colonial Union, the Earth, and the alien Conclave has kept the forces of war at bay, even when some would have preferred to return to the fighting and struggle of former times. For now, more sensible heads have prevailed - and have even championed unity.
But now, there is a new force that threatens the hard-maintained peace: The Consu, the most advanced intelligent species humans have ever met, are on the cusp of a species-defining civil war. This war is between Consu factions... but nothing the Consu ever do is just about them. The Colonial Union, the Earth and the Conclave have been unwillingly dragged into the conflict, in the most surprising of ways.
Gretchen Trujillo is a mid-level diplomat, working in an unimportant part of the Colonial Union bureaucracy. But when she is called to take part in a secret mission involving representatives from every powerful faction in space, what she finds there has the chance to redefine the destinies of humans and aliens alike... or destroy them forever.

When the Moon Hits Your Eye (eBook, ePUB)
eBook, ePUB
New York Times bestselling author John Scalzi flies you to the moon with his most fantastic tale to date: When the Moon Hits Your Eye
The moon has turned into cheese.
Now humanity has to deal with it.
For some it's an opportunity. For others it's a moment to question their faith: In God, in science, in everything. Still others try to keep the world running in the face of absurdity and uncertainty. And then there are the billions looking to the sky and wondering how a thing that was always just there is now... something absolutely impossible.
Astronauts and billionaires, comedians and bank executives, professors and presidents, teenagers and terminal patients at the end of their lives -- over the length of an entire lunar cycle, each get their moment in the moonlight. To panic, to plan, to wonder and to pray, to laugh and to grieve. All in a kaleidoscopic novel that goes all the places you'd expect, and then to so many places you wouldn't.
It's a wild moonage daydream. Ride this rocket.

Kollaps / Das Imperium der Ströme Bd.1
One long boredom...
Du meine Güte! Von John Scalzi war ich begeistert, als ich den Krieg der Klone entdeckt habe - einfach eine tolle Serie mit bahnbrechenden Ideen. Dabei bin ich von der Fehlannahme ausgegangen, wenn ein Autor gut schreiben kann, dann tut er das immer. Das hat sich leider als Irrtum herausgestellt. Dieses verwünschte SciFi!
Und hier haben wir den Salat: Totaler Schwachsinn. Nichts gegen die Ströme, die SF hat viel Platz für alle möglichen Ideen. Und es ist auch völlig normal, daß alltägliche Probleme in die Zukunft transponiert werden. Aber wenn ein Buch genauso langweilig zu lesen ist wie ein durchschnittliches Telefonbuch, dann ist das nichts für mich.
Eine Menge Adlige - "Lords" und "Ladys" an jeder Ecke - und das in weiter Zukunft!!!
Familienklüngel, Manipulation, Vetternwirtschaft
Die folgenden Bücher werde ich mir sparen...
