Dopo che il mondo-fortezza di Reach è stato distrutto, insieme ai suoi coraggiosi difensori, un solo incrociatore è riuscito a fuggire a quel massacro, con a bordo gli unici umani superstiti: il capitano Keyes e il suo equipaggio composto da poche centinaia di marine, più l'ultimo super-soldato del progetto SPARTAN rimasto - Master Chief.Master Chief si schianta su Halo nel bel mezzo di una massiccia occupazione Covenant; con lui c'è Cortana, l'intelligenza artificiale dell'incrociatore. Stranamente, i soldati alieni sembrano alla ricerca di qualcosa nascosto sulla superficie dell'anello.

ReviewPraise for The Society of Steam:"If Stan Lee had lived in the 1880s, this is the book he would have written—steampunk superheroes. Filled with larger than life characters, cliffhanger action, and ingenious gadgets so richly realized you'll feel the steam hissing from them, at its heart, it's a two-fisted meditation on the mythic glories of heroism and the tragic frailties of the heroes themselves." -- Clay & Susan Griffith, authors of The Greyfriar (Vampire Empire, Book 1)"Andrew P. Mayer's The Falling Machine enjoys the promise of a glorious conceit that the book delivers on steampunk superheroes in Gilded Age New York City. The first of Mayer's Society of Steam trilogy, this book offers cocked-eyed adventure and the high camp of steampunk wrapped around a story of moral choice, family loyalty and the ultimate question of who gets to be counted as a person. A ripping yarn that strikes all the right notes, The Falling Machine will delight and entertain you." --Jay Lake, Campbell Award winning author of Mainspring and GreenAbout the AuthorWhen he's not crafting stories, Andrew Mayer works as a video-game designer and digital entertainment consultant. He has created numerous new concepts, characters, and worlds, including the original Dogz and Catz digital pets. Andrew calls Portland, Oregon, home (although he's been traveling a lot lately).

Astral projection is great, but taking possession of a Guardian half a universe away is a job for a hero, not a ghost.
Simry enjoyed her escape from a world of shunning and rules that did not apply to her. Life in the Citadel could be difficult, but it had its rewards in the shape of education and friendships.
Being asked to seek out a Guardian and keep him sane from dozens of worlds away was one of the hardest assignments she had ever taken on, and it was also the most rewarding. She rescued the Guardian’s soul, kept his spirits up and made sure that he was able to survive until physical help could arrive.
N’kad was on the edge of giving up when the ghost entered his mind and took over his situation by lodging herself in his soul. The stranger in his mind was brash, annoying, and yet, she kept his attention every moment that she was with him. He would travel quite a way for a woman like that. She was his hero, after all.

A woman, with a foul temper and her own spaceship, ends up an escort for a stunned ambassador. Her perfect mate.
Leo runs her ship with precision and an attitude shaped by pain. Gathering an ambassador in stasis, she is surprised to find his ability to match her innermost desires, and he is surprised to find that she wants him in his own form and not the one she craves.
Ambassador Wikkio is a Beholder. Born to a race that can change to match any other species right down to venom or scales, he is an ideal representative for races who are skittish around strangers. Meeting Govern surprises him. He had not thought to meet the woman of his dreams when he woke from cold sleep and never had he imaged that he would enjoy his woman sharpening her wit on his hide.
The Gold Fairy brought them together, and now, she is determined to keep them that way. Views: 16
