Die Welt als Ressource
Fast ohne Warnung legt sich ein riesiges Raumschiff um unseren Planeten. Wie ein Krake lässt es seine Tentakel herab, um alles aufzusaugen, was nicht niet- und nagelfest ist. Die Erde wird zur Fliege im kosmische Spinnennetz, die hilflos zuschauen muss, während Ozeane und Atmosphäre einfach abgesaugt werden. Denn unnahbar, unheimlich, und ungeheuer effizient "ernten" die Invasoren die gesamte Milchstraße ab, um ihr Generationsschiff zu versorgen. Doch wer sind diese übermächtigen Außerirdischen? Und wie lässt sich die Gefahr vielleicht noch abwenden? Seit "Die drei Sonnen" wird Cixin Liu auch bei uns als große Sci-fi-Hoffnung gefeiert. Hier mixt er überirdische Parallelwelten mit Problemen, die uns deutlich näher liegen - und hält nebenbei gedankenloser Selbstbedienungsmentalität einen Spiegel vor.Im Fokus: eine Bedrohung, die unklar bleibt - und ein heimlicher Held, der sich im radikalen Querdenken versucht, als alle anderen der aufgebrachten Mobmasse folgen. Am Ende? Beweisen die Ameisen Führungsqualitäten. Aber hören Sie selbst.
Publisher's summary
Eines Tages erscheint auf der Erde ein seltsames Kristall. Das Objekt stammt aus den Tiefen des Weltalls, und es enthält nur eine einzige Botschaft: "Achtung, der Weltenzerstörer naht!" Forscher und Militärs weltweit rätseln noch über den Sinn dieser Nachricht, als sich ein gewaltiges Raumschiff wie ein Ring um den gesamten Planeten legt, um die Ressourcen der Erde in kürzester Zeit aufzusaugen. Die Menschheit steht vor der größten Aufgabe seit dem Beginn ihrer Geschichte: Wie wehrt man sich gegen ein kosmisches Ereignis, das den ganzen Planeten für immer vernichten kann?
Mit der Novelle "Weltenzerstörer" gelingt es dem internationalen Bestsellerautor Cixin Liu, klassische Science-Fiction-Motive mit aktuellen Herausforderungen wie Klimakatastrophe und Globalisierung zu verknüpfen.
"Weltenzerstörer" ist auch eine von elf Kurzgeschichten der Geschichtensammlung "Die wandernde Erde", die im Dezember 2018 erstmals als Hörbuch erscheint.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,126
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story5 out of 5 stars 355
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Rough draft to the three body problem
...but still well worth the read. Many similar ideas and themes as in his other work, in shorter form. If you loved his trilogy and need another Cixin Liu fix go for it, this will scratch your itch waiting for his other work to be translated.
Auf deutsch: ähnliche Themen wie in der Trisolaris Trilogie, natürlich viel kürzer gefasst. Als Cixin Liu fan lohnt sich dieser Kauf hundertprozentig. Wenn es ihr erster Versuch in dem Genre ist würde ich eher Trisolaris empfehlen, das den Hugo und Nebula gewonnen hat. Wenn schon hard SF dann auch richtig ;)
