300 ans après les événements d'"Alien - La Sortie des Profondeurs" et "Alien - Le Fleuve des Souffrances", "Alien - La Mer des Désolations" retrace la redécouverte des Xénomorphes (Aliens) en état de sommeil dans les mines abandonnées de LV-178, le planétoïde d'"Alien - La Sortie des Profondeurs", désormais transformé et renommé New Galveston. La Weyland-Yutani Corporation, réformée après l'effondrement de l'armée du système des Nations Unies, poursuit ses efforts incessants pour armer les créatures.

Quand Ellen Ripley retourne enfin sur Terre, c'est pour découvrir que LV-426, la planète sur laquelle l'équipage du Nostromo est pour la première fois entré en contact avec les terribles/monstrueux Xenomorphes, a été rebaptisée Acheron. Protégés par un régiment de Marines coloniaux, les colons essaient de terraformer la planète balayée par les tempêtes. Au-delà des conditions de vie extrêmes et des combats journaliers imposés par ce nouveau monde, l'espoir et l'humanité demeurent.

Der reichste und mächtigste Mann des Kontinents. Für Romeo zeichnet sich eine glänzende Zukunft ab.

When H. G. Wells first published The War of The Worlds in 1898, the novel quickly became a sci-fi classic. The story of extraterrestrials from Mars invading Earth captured the public’s imagination, inspiring a famed 1938 radio broadcast with Orson Welles, several feature films, countless video games, and a best-selling musical concept album by Jeff Wayne in 1978, among others.

Why won't Alice reveal the real reason for wanting to return home? What is the truth of the planet covered in blood? And who - or what - is Vixxy? As events unfold, a simple visit to Earth becomes a growing nightmare and the time travellers find themselves caught in a complex web of time, space, and emotions - with no choice but to see it through to its chilling conclusion.

In search of the legendary "Point of Stillness", the Professor and Ace find themselves in an old house, steeped in evil. Who is the ancient woman in the attic? Why are there so many clocks? And did the butler really do it?

Ace finds herself separated from the Professor, marooned, blind and cared for by a mysterious stranger. How did she get there? Who is Dorsai? What secret is he hiding?

PRIMEra: Last thirteen million years. Technology: Military (blatant), limited time-awareness. It’s perhaps unwise to think of the Sontarans as a species, as such. A homunculus breed hatched by the million and engineered for full-engagement warfare, the Sontaran military machine is regarded by many time-active cultures as an “occupational hazard”: a force of nature rather than a race, compelled by duty and genetics to acquire new technologies for its endless war effort. It should be remembered, however, that with the backing of a higher power even the crudest of breeds can become something quite different.

Right from its creation, the secret intelligence service of Great Britain was touched by a streak of ritual: its initiations were usually occult, its codes based on astrological or alchemical ciphers. When Faction Paradox first entered Earth history in the 1700s, the Service took an immediate interest in the new arrivals’ own ritual practices, and in the inevitable feud between British and Faction agents no single figure was as important as Sabbath.

Era: Human historical (later period). Technology: Military (self-contained), non-time-active. By the end of the fifth millennium AD, the homunculi created by the human species - clones, cross-breeds, fighting-machines and artificial intelligences of all descriptions - outnumbered humanity by more than thirteen to one: But even so, there were no creations like those of Peking. Heading a 1,000-strong army of individually-crafted automata, the 12 commanders were self-aware embodiments of the oriental zodiac, forged to a strict astrological design, and said to incorporate history itself in their operating program.

The demise of Earth was followed by a period in which there was, effectively, no such thing as the human species; a period in which humanity suddenly found itself released from its heritage, with genetic manipulation and vast tracts of space separating the survivors from everything they’d once been.

Even before the outbreak of the 'War in Heaven', Faction Paradox was regarded as the most unpredictable (and opportunistic) of the time-active powers. Aware of the precarious nature of history - but under no obligation to protect it - while the other Great Houses were still attempting to uphold a “universal order”, the Faction was following its own, far more ambiguous, protocols.

Fully recovered from her hospital stay and back behind the bar of The Blue Whale, Jessica Griffin welcomes Nate, a stranger in town claiming to be just passing through. But how come he knows so much about her, and why is he so keen to lure her back to the house she hasn't set foot in since the death of her husband? And he really is so very familiar....

Im Herzen der Wüste der Ewigkeit liegt Katunga, die Stadt des mächtigen Sultans Habbad Godi. Ein Ort voller Wunder und Gefahren … und einem weiteren Drachengrab, das Tib und seine Gefährten aufzusuchen haben. Eine Chance, in die Gunst des Sultans und so Zugang zum Grab zu erlangen bietet das berühmte Rennen der fliegenden Teppichen, doch nur wenige Teilnehmer überleben den höllischen Wettbewerb.

The Professor and Ace arrive in present-day London to find the city strangely changed. England is a republic, ruled by an elderly Lord Protector more interested in a mysterious comet than the long-suppressed forces of revolution fomenting in his kingdom. As political factions vie for power, the travellers become embroiled in the plans of King Charles XIV who stands poised to reclaim the throne. Can they discover who is behind the drastic alteration of history or will the Puritan cause triumph throughout eternity?

It is a time of restoration. Ten millenia have passed since the solar flares devastated the planet Earth and now humanity has come home to reclaim and rebuild. But scientists at Mombassa Station are about to resurrect a deadly menace that was once destroyed. A menace that will stretch from the depths of the African continent, to the ancient and decaying Nerva Beacon still orbiting high above. Can a small group of Gene-techs hope to survive the rush of Race Memory?

Mit dem ganzen Wissen der Menschheit ausgestattet, wacht Eric in einem Raumschiff auf. Er war über eine lange Zeit tiefgefroren und erfährt nun zusammen mit der Biologin Bianca, dem Navigator Strabos und der Raumfahrttechnikerin Mirina den Sinn der Mission. Die Erde ist durch eine Katastrophe vor 2 Millionen Jahren zerstört worden und die 4 sollen auf Andromeda eine neue Heimat finden. Überraschend kommt ein Abgesandter einer fremden, freundlich gesinnten Lebensform an Bord. Andoro gibt sich als Andromedaner zu erkennen und leistet wertvolle Hilfe.

Können Eric und seine Crew einen Planeten finden auf dem die Sonne scheint. Der Bordcomputer, liebevoll Daddy genannt, steht Eric mit seinem ganzen Wissen zur Seite. Die Hoffnung liegt auf einem letzten Raumsprung um einen Planeten zu erreichen, der sich zur Besiedelung eignet. Denn auf dem Raumschiff warten 250000 Keimzellen. Als Planeten in Sicht sind fusionieren diese. Energiewesen experimentieren mit Materie und das bedeutet größte Gefahr für das Raumschiff und seine Besatzung. Wird eine Kontaktaufnahme ein friedliches Miteinander möglich machen?
