Acerca de esta escucha
A science-fiction dystopian journey full of action and romance.
Not a stand-alone! Please listen to Rebel Lexis (Rings of Polaris, book 1) for full enjoyment.
Masterfully crafted by Paul Alan, the second volume in the celebrated new Rings of Polaris series fuses sci-fi, dystopian fiction, action, and romance - in an adventure giving Arthur C. Clarke a run for his money. Listeners are invited to strap in with Captain Jason Bjorn on a mission to Mars. But Bjorn’s white-hot love for a virtual-reality companion and the constant sexual advances from his onboard AI computer system are about to cause a distraction that could leave him dead....
While nobody will deny science fiction’s timeless popularity, both fans and critics are currently crying out for wholly unique new narratives that don’t succumb to recycling the “same old” concepts. Thankfully, Paul Alan has stepped up to the plate with gusto, serving up a compelling new series that melds traditional sci-fi hallmarks with palm-sweating romance. Rebel Lexis may not follow convention, but Alan’s creation is rapidly building up a following among those who fell in love with Joseph Kosinski’s Oblivion and the groundbreaking 2001: A Space Odyssey. It’s easy to see why.
Synopsis: Jason Bjorn just wants to do his job and captain his ship, but his employer - the Polaris Corporation - sends him to Mars, where he encounters treachery, an ancient cult, and secrets that strike at the heart of Polaris’ control over the planet Earth. Soon, fighting to stay alive is the least of his worries as he finds himself at the center of a conflict that could change everything, with nobody on his side but the seductively independent operating system that runs his ship.

On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, there waits the creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all.

The Galahad, a faster-than-light spacecraft, carries 50 scientists and engineers on a mission to prepare Kepler 452b, Earth's nearest habitable neighbor at 1400 light years away. With Earth no longer habitable and the Mars colony slowly failing, they are humanity's best hope. After 10 years in a failed cryogenic bed - body asleep, mind awake - William Chanokh's torture comes to an end as the fog clears, the hatch opens, and his friend and fellow hacker, Tom, greets him...by stabbing a screwdriver into his heart. This is the first time William dies.

On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

Predator ships stream into human space in unprecedented numbers. The Colonial Marines, controlled by Weyland-Yutani, respond to the incursion, thus entering the Rage War. This terrifying assault by the Yautja cannot go unchallenged, yet the cost of combat is high. Predators are master combatants, and each encounter yields a high body count. Then, when Lt. Johnny Mains and his marines - the VoidLarks - enter the fray, they discover an enemy deadlier than any could imagine.

The Tantalus 13 survey expedition went off the rails as soon as Mary Ketch and the crew of the Diamelen learned that the thing beneath their feet wasn’t a planet. An impossibly vast and ancient artificial structure lies below, hidden from the universe under a façade of cratered stone. SCARAB arrived on Tantalus 13 two years ago. An artificially intelligent, self-constructing factory, it was supposed to aid the crew in their mission, to meet their every need.
