Acerca de esta escucha
Marta and Serge are half-wild children whose parents let them explore. In the woods one day, they find a strange creature who needs their help. He is king of a supernatural ancient race which has always watched over our planet. They are growing impatient with human behavior, and the king asks them to deliver a vital message to Earth’s leaders. How will the children make their message heard? Will they get it to the right people in time? Will the queen of England help them save the planet?
As Marta and Serge grow up, they must keep their hearts open so they can continue to see the incredible beings. Their faith is tested as Earth's humans face increasing disasters. Marta in particular finds it hard to reconcile her memory of the magical creatures with her scientific career. She develops a highly sophisticated android whose abilities challenge all her beliefs. Serge has kept his heart open, and he must help Marta do the same if they are to keep on saving the planet and their own descendants.
Quantum Horizons is a modern fable that combines physics, space travel, black holes, artificial intelligence, environmental stewardship, magic, and growing up. It is a tale of science and wonder for all ages.

The ice is coming. It was the last thing we expected, but the world is freezing. A new ice age has dawned. Billions have fled the glaciers. A cataclysmic war is coming. In orbit, a group of scientists are running the Winter Experiments, a last-ditch attempt to understand why the planet is cooling. None of the climate models they build make sense. But then they discover an anomaly, an unexplained variation in solar radiation...and something else. Close to the burning edge of the sun, they catch a fleeting glimpse of something that shouldn’t be there....

Neanderthals have developed a radically different civilization on a parallel Earth. A Neanderthal physicist, Ponter Boddit, accidentally passes from his universe into a Canadian underground research facility. Fortunately, a team of human scientists, including expert paleo-anthropologist Mary Vaughan, promptly identifies and warmly receives Ponter. Solving the language problem and much else is a mini-computer, called a Companion, implanted in the brain of every Neanderthal. But it can't help his fellow scientist back in his world, Adikor Huld, when the authorities charge Adikor with his murder.

Two of science fiction’s most renowned writers join forces for a storytelling sensation. The Last Theorem is a story of one man’s mathematical obsession, and a celebration of the human spirit and the scientific method. It is also a gripping intellectual thriller in which humanity, facing extermination from all-but-omnipotent aliens, the Grand Galactics, must overcome differences of politics and religion and come together...or perish.
