EN ENLIG ASTRONAUT. EN UMULIG MISSION.EN VEJ, HAN ALDRIG HAVDE FORESTILLET SIG.Ryland Grace er den eneste overlevende på en desperat, sidste-chance-mission – og hvis han fejler, vil menneskeheden på Jorden selv gå til grunde. Bortset fra at han ikke er klar over det lige nu. Han kan ikke engang huske, hvad han hedder, og endnu mindre hvad hans opgave går ud på, eller hvordan han skal udføre den. Det eneste, han ved, er, at han har sovet i meget, meget lang tid. Og at han netop er blevet vækket, blot for at opdage, at han befinder sig millioner af mil hjemmefra, uden andet end to lig som selskab. Hans besætningsvenner er døde, hans hukommelse vender tåget tilbage, og Ryland indser, at han nu står overfor en umulig opgave. Mens han drøner gennem det tomme rum på sit lille skib, er det op til ham at lægge et umuligt videnskabeligt puslespil – og overvinde truslen om udryddelse af vores art. Og mens uret tikker, og de nærmeste mennesker er lysår væk, er han nødt til at gøre det alene. Eller er han?Project Hail Mary, et uimodståeligt interstellart eventyr, som kun Andy Weir kan finde på, er en fortælling om opdagelse, spekulation og overlevelse, der er en rival til The Martian – samtidig med at den tager os med til steder, vi aldrig havde drømt om.

Mark må nu bruge al sin viden om botanik og teknik for at overleve."Hvis oxygenatoren bryder sammen, bliver jeg kvalt. Hvis vandindvinderen går i stykker, dør jeg af tørst. Hvis Hab’et revner, vil jeg ligesom bare eksplodere. Hvis ingen af disse ting sker, vil jeg på et tidspunkt løbe tør for fødevarer og sulte ihjel.Så ja, jeg er på skideren."The Martian er en science fiction bestsellerroman af Andy Weir fra 2011, men det er første gang, bogen er oversat til dansk.­

Det var aldrig meningen, at Jasmine Bashara skulle være en helt. Hun ville bare være rig. Ikke styrtende rig som mange af de besøgende i hendes hjemby, månekolonien Artemis. Bare rig nok til at flytte ud af sin kisteagtige lejlighed og spise noget, der er bedre end alger tilsat smag. Rig nok til at betale en gammel gæld. Da chancen for et stort udbytte byder sig, siger Jazz ikke nej.Det kræver dog, at hun tager springet fra at være en ubetydelig smugler til at være kriminel strateg, og der kræves også en helt særlig kombination af kløgt, tekniske færdigheder og store eksplosioner – for ikke at nævne en rendyrket fræk attitude.Planlægningen af den perfekte forbrydelse er kun begyndelsen på Jazz’ problemer. Hendes lille kup placerer hende midt i en sammensværgelse om kontrollen over Artemis – og snart jages hun af både loven og en lovløs morder.

A lone astronaut must save the earth from disaster in this incredible new science-based thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Martian. Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crew mates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, he realises that an impossible task now confronts him. Alone on this tiny ship that's been cobbled together by every government and space agency on the planet and hurled into the depths of space, it's up to him to conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And thanks to an unexpected ally, he just might have a chance. Part scientific mystery, part dazzling interstellar journey, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian - while taking us to places it never dreamed of going.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent.

The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thrillera heist story set on the moon.Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich. Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity's first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she's owed for a long time. So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can't say no. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosionsnot to mention sheer brazen swagger. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect can't handle, and she figures she's got the ';swagger' part down. The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazz's problems. Because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself. Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, even Jazz has to admit she's in way over her head. She'll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city. Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal. That'll have to do. Propelled by its heroine's wisecracking voice, set in a city that's at once stunningly imagined and intimately familiar, and brimming over with clever problem-solving and heist-y fun, Artemis is another irresistible brew of science, suspense, and humor from #1 bestselling author Andy Weir.

Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

Originating as fan fiction from the brilliant imagination of Andy Weir, now brought to vivid life by Sarah Andersen, Cheshire Crossing is a funny, breakneck, boundlessly inventive journey through classic worlds as you've never seen them before. Years after their respective returns from Wonderland, Neverland, and Oz, the trio meet here, at Cheshire Crossing-a boarding school where girls like them learn how to cope with their supernatural experiences and harness their magical world-crossing powers. But Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy-now teenagers, who've had their fill of meddling authority figures-aren't content to sit still in a classroom. Soon they're dashing from one universe to the next, leaving havoc in their wake-and, inadvertently, bringing the Wicked Witch and Hook together in a deadly supervillain love match. To stop them, the girls will have to draw on all of their powers . . . and marshal a team of unlikely allies from across the magical multiverse.Advance praise for Cheshire Crossing"Deliciously funny . . . a shrewd and spirited adaptation that will leave audiences hoping for another installment . . .
