England, in der nahen Zukunft. Vier Jahre nach dem spurlosen Verschwinden ihrer besten Freundin Mal ist die Studentin Lee noch immer traumatisiert. Nach einem mysteriösen Anruf kreuzen sich ihre Wege mit denen des MI5-Agenten Julian Sabreur, der einem Phantom nachjagt. Ist es vielleicht Mal? Aber wo war sie - und wo ist sie jetzt? Als auch noch eine Physikerin entführt wird, die über Parallelwelten geforscht hat, beginnt das Gefüge von Lees und Julians Welt auseinanderzubrechen. Irgendetwas ist da draußen, und es hat finstere Absichten.

"Mein Name ist Rex. Ich bin ein guter Hund." Und das ist auch alles, was Rex, eine sogenannte technisch optimierte Bioform, in seinem Leben möchte - ein guter Hund sein und seinem Herrn gehorchen. Gemeinsam mit seinem Rudel kämpft Rex in einem seit Jahrzehnten andauernden Krieg, und wenn sein Herr sagt "Töte!", dann tötet Rex. Wieder und wieder. Als sein Herr eines Tages vors Kriegsgericht gestellt wird, kommen Rex jedoch Zweifel. Was soll er tun, wenn er keinen Herrn mehr hat, der ihm befiehlt? War es möglicherweise falsch, blind zu gehorchen?

Die Menschheit hat Sonden in die Tiefen des Alls geschickt, um neue Planeten für die Besiedelung vorzubereiten. Auf Nod finden die Sonden allerdings intelligentes Leben vor - doch das ist im Besiedelungsplan nicht vorgesehen, und die Sonden machen sich unbarmherzig ans Werk. Als Jahrtausende später die Erde vergessen ist und die Menschen sich auf einem anderen Planeten weiterentwickelt haben, erhalten sie plötzlich ein Signal von Nod. Etwas ist dort erwacht. Etwas, das auf die Menschen wartet.

Die letzten Menschen haben eine sterbende Erde verlassen, um in den Tiefen des Alls ein neues Zuhause zu finden. Als sie auf den Planeten Eden stoßen, scheint ihnen das Glück sicher: ideale Konditionen und eine florierende Ökosphäre. Doch was sie nicht wissen - es waren bereits Menschen hier gewesen, vor langer Zeit. Menschen, die Eden als Versuchsplaneten für ein vermessenes Projekt künstlicher Evolution ausersehen hatten. Doch ihr Experiment damals hat ungeahnte Spuren hinterlassen, und nun treffen ihre Nachfahren auf die vergessenen Kinder ihres Versuchs.

Migliaia di anni fa, il programma di terraformazione della Terra si è esteso verso le stelle, e su un mondo chiamato Nod gli scienziati hanno scoperto una forma di vita aliena. Tuttavia la loro missione prevedeva che la cancellassero, sovrascrivendo su di essa la memoria del loro mondo. Poi però il grande impero della Terra è caduto e le decisioni relative al programma si sono perse nelle pieghe del tempo. Eoni più tardi, gli esseri umani e i loro nuovi alleati - i ragni noti come Portiadi - intercettano frammentari segnali radio fra le stelle e inviano una nave esplorativa.

Anche gli ultimi umani sopravvissuti alla rovina della Terra stanno ormai fuggendo nel disperato tentativo di trovare una nuova casa tra le stelle. Seguendo le orme indicate molto tempo prima dai loro antenati, riescono a scoprire un pianeta apparentemente perfetto per ospitare vita umana. Ma la realtà sulla nuova Terra non si rivelerà così tranquilla e pacifica come avevano sperato...

After an unfortunate accident, Handry is forced to wander a world he doesn't understand, searching for meaning. He soon discovers that the life he thought he knew is far stranger than he could even possibly imagine. Can an unlikely savior provide the answers to the questions he barely comprehends?

Mars. The red planet. A new frontier for humanity: a civilisation where humans can live in peace, lord and master of all they survey. But this isn't Space City from those old science-fiction books. It's more like Hell City, built into and from a huge crater. There's a big silk canopy over it, feeding out atmosphere as we generate it, little by little, because we can't breathe the air here. I guess it's a perfect place to live, if you want to live on Mars. At some point I must have wanted to live on Mars, because here I am.
