The galaxy is divided. Following the shocking destruction of Starlight Beacon, the Nihil have established an impenetrable barrier called the Stormwall around part of the Outer Rim, where Marchion Ro rules and his followers wreak havoc at his every whim. Jedi trapped behind enemy lines, including Avar Kriss, must fight to help the worlds being pillaged by the Nihil while staying one step ahead of the marauders and their Nameless terrors.

Ein Blick auf die Anzeigen offenbarte Gramm-Darr, dass im Umkreis von fünf Kilometern kein intelligentes Leben existierte. Er bedeutete seinem Kollegen, die Unsichtbarkeit der Drohne abzuschalten - er wollte sehen, wie die Bergung ablief. Kurz darauf schälte sich die fünf Meter durchmessende Drohne aus dem sauerländischen Morgennebel. Sie war keine zwanzig Meter vom Unfallort auf einer kleinen Lichtung gelandet. Soeben luden zwei Gestalten, ähnlich den GENUI, aber nur etwas mehr als halb so groß und mit goldener Haut, einen sargähnlichen Behälter aus. Die beiden Androiden bugsierten das schwere Teil bis direkt neben Jan und entfernten dann den Deckel.

Das Abenteuer geht weiter: Der sportlich gut trainierte Mann sprang mehr aus der Wanne, als er ausstieg. Zum Abtrocknen blieb keine Zeit. Schnell streifte er eine Art Bademantel aus schwarzem Stoff über, griff Shorts und T-Shirt und verließ das Bad. Kaum auf dem geräumigen Flur angekommen, kam ihm der Pilot der Disk vom Dach des Hauses schon entgegen. Er kannte den Mann. Als Bat-Rar seine Gegenwart registrierte, verstärkte sich schlagartig der Druck in seiner Magengegend.

In an instant the world changed for Lieutenant General Michael O'Neal. His beloved Corps of the last remaining ACS destroyed beneath the guns of the Fleet, his staff shot before his eyes, arrested on the charge of war crimes, he faces a short, one-sided trial, a trip to the Fleet Penal Facility and a bullet to the back of the head while trying to "escape".

"Repariert ist der Sitz auch", schmunzelte Sam und Jan riss wieder die Tür auf. Er sah ein Kissen auf dem Sitz liegen und hob dieses misstrauisch an. Darunter lag ein Brett. Er schob dieses vorsichtig zur Seite. Man hatte tatsächlich die Feder mittels zweier dünner und rostiger Eisenstreben nach unten gedrückt und mit dem seitlichen Kunststoffüberzug fixiert - dann Brett und Kissen. "Steig endlich ein, du hast es doch eilig, oder?"

Das Abenteuer geht vorerst in die letzte Runde (Ende der Trilogie): "Captain! Aufwachen! Captain!" Im Schlafzimmer des Paares Holst/Eggert flackerte die Beleuchtung in kurzen Abständen und die KI rief betont dringend. Jan schreckte hoch und im gleichen Augenblick normalisierte sich die Beleuchtung. Jans Atem ging stoßweise. Er hatte sein Bett völlig durchgeschwitzt und schaute mit verzerrtem Gesicht um sich. "Die Biowerte lagen außerhalb der üblichen Toleranzen", stellte die KI fest. "Ich habe daher den Weckprozess eingeleitet. Soll ich einen Sanitäts-Droiden schicken?"

They are the last survivors of their race, beings who live on and communicate through energy, who are capable of assuming the shape of any other species. When their youngest member is assigned to a world considered safe to explore, she is captured by the natives. To escape, she must violate the most important rule of her kind, and reveal the existence of her species to a fellow prisoner - a human being. Now her race is in danger of extinction, for even if the human does not betray her, the Enemy who has long searched for her people may finally discover their location.

The Dusman offered to let humanity become their servitors, but the leaders of Earth’s Four Horsemen were unified in their decision: No, thanks. With the Dusman returning in strength, though, and steadily growing their influence and armed presence, humanity finds itself in a difficult place. The Guild War continues to rage, with planets becoming increasingly desperate for nonexistent help, while the Mercenary Guild continues to sit on its hands, despite Nigel Shirazi’s attempts to break the deadlock.

When the twisted Dark Mechanicus priests of the Bloodborn descend upon Quintarn, the Ultramarines are quick to move in defence of their prized agri-world. However, it soon becomes apparent that the planet's fate will not be decided by the massed battle companies of the Space Marines but by the actions of just one lowly sergeant - Torias Telion.

Continuing his quest for his legendary birthplace, the lost planet of Earth, Earl Dumarest befriends a young man who says his home world was called Nerth. New Earth, perhaps? Or even the original planet Dumarest seeks? He must find out.

Esper made that promise. Now it's time to make good. The Cult of Ra has a flagship, and thanks to a turncoat in their ranks, Esper and her friends know where it's going to be. Better yet, they know that Pharaoh Ramesses XIII will be aboard. It's time to cut the head off the cult.

David Gerrold’s classic space opera Under the Eye of God tells the story of a group of unlikely rebels on a mission to reclaim the galaxy from ruthless vampire overlords known as the Phaestor. The dark, burnt world of Thoska-Roole, infamous for its harsh climate and equally callous inhabitants, might be the last place in the galaxy anyone would turn for aid in times of crisis. But the small, orange planet is home to the band of rebels who hold the fate of the entire galaxy in their hands.

Chaos has erupted throughout the known galaxy, threatening countless colonies and orbital habitats - as the Associative struggles vainly to keep the peace. Extreme measures are called for in these times of dire crisis, and the Star Marines are awakened from their voluntary 850-year cybe-hibe sleep. But General Trevor Garroway and his warriors are about to discover that the old rules of engagement have drastically changed.
