In Marbella, Spain, Dr. Kate Warner awakens to a horrifying reality: the human race stands on the brink of extinction. A pandemic unlike any before it has swept the globe. Nearly a billion people are dead—and those the Atlantis Plague doesn't kill, it transforms at the genetic level. A few rapidly evolve. The remainder devolve. As the world slips into chaos, radical solutions emerge. Industrialized nations offer a miracle drug, Orchid, which they mass produce and distribute to refugee camps around the world.

Meet Emily - she can solve advanced mathematical problems, unlock the mind's deepest secrets and even fix your truck's air con. But, unfortunately, she can't restart the sun.

So, her beloved human race is screwed, and so is Emily. That is, until she finds a potential answer buried deep in the human genome.

Zehn Jahre später kämpft er noch immer mit den Geistern seiner Vergangenheit, als er und seine Familie plötzlich einer neuen Realität gegenüber stehen.

This remarkable tale of the devastation and horrors of an international war was written in 1908—six years before the start of World War I. It describes the results of aerial attacks on New York and other cities in terrifying detail. It is provocative and sadly, prophetic in many ways. In the end, we can only agree with Wells that "it should never have begun".

They had all—the artificial intelligences of Sol and the sailors of the Third Expeditionary Fleet alike—believed the Starless Horrors were mindless monsters: little more than beasts driven by eldritch desires, lashing out from their unknown depths to kill and destroy. But that naïve perception was thoroughly crushed after an encounter with a terrifying entity who called itself the Executor.

A century ago, nearly all life in the universe was destroyed by the Starless Horrors. Spanning three decades, the Cataclysm wiped out two-thirds of known galaxies and left the rest broken.

The War of the Worlds is HG Wells’ dramatic science fiction tale of aliens invading England.

Panic rules as people flee from London, but when all seems lost, an unusual ally comes to mankind’s aid. This brilliant combination of science fiction and Gothic horror has inspired countless films, radio dramas, and television series.

What would you do if you only had two weeks to live? That's the very question billions of people are grappling with after news an asteroid, named Colossus, will impact Earth and bring about an extinction level event.

There is nowhere to go and nowhere to hide . . . except for a select few who have been chosen to go live in bunkers deep below the surface.

Diejenigen, die glaubten, auf das Ende vorbereitet zu sein, müssen nun feststellen, dass sie niemals vorbereitet waren.
