Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful
Summary
"An alternately charming and horrifying exploration of what it means to be human and how far we'll go in pursuit of personal and societal 'perfection.' I devoured this book." (Kiersten White, New York Times best-selling author of And I Darken) For fans of television shows Black Mirror and Westworld, this compelling, mind-bending novel is a twisted look into the future, exploring the lengths we'll go to remake ourselves into the perfect human specimen and what it means to be human at all. The future is curious. Stronger. Today, our bodies define us. We color our hair; tattoo our skin; pierce our ears, brows, noses. We lift weights, run miles, break records. We are flesh and blood and bone. Faster. Tomorrow has different rules. The future is no longer about who we are - it's about who we want to be. If you can dream it, you can be it. Science will make us smarter, healthier, flawless in every way. Our future is boundless. More beautiful. This is a story that begins tomorrow. It's a story about us. It's a story about who comes after us. And it's a story about perfection. Because perfection has a way of getting ugly.

Resurrection
Summary
Die Kinley haben es geschafft, ein Schiff zu bauen, mit dem man schneller reisen kann, als das Licht. Es bringt eine Gruppe Wissenschaftler zu einem weit entfernten Planeten - einem primitiven Ort namens Erde. Es sollte nur eine friedliche Forschungsmission sein, doch als das Schiff zerstört wird, ist die Kinley-Crew im historischen Ägypten gestrandet und muss sich in das Leben zur Zeit der Pharaonen einfügen. Sie begraben die Überreste ihrer Technologie tief unter dem Wüstensand und schicken eine letzte, verzweifelte Nachricht nach Hause. Fünftausend Jahre später befindet sich der Heimatplanet der Kinley am Rande der Zerstörung. Ein uralter Feind, der das Volk der Kinley schon einmal beinahe ausgelöscht hat, erhebt sich aufs Neue - diesmal, um die Kinley endgültig zu vernichten. Pruit, eine Kinley-Soldatin, wird auf eine verzweifelte Mission geschickt: Sie soll einem uralten Funksignal zurück zur Erde folgen und das Geheimnis wiederfinden, wie man schneller als das Licht reisen kann. Es ist die letzte Hoffnung der Kinley. Mithilfe der Technologie, die es ihnen einst erlaubte, das All zu durchqueren, könnten sie es schaffen, ihren Feinden zu entkommen, und eine sichere Welt, eine neue Heimat finden. Doch Pruits Mission stellt sich als schwieriger heraus, als sie es sich jemals hätte vorstellen können. Ihre Feinde sind ihr dicht auf den Fersen und auch auf der Erde erwachen uralte böse Kräfte wieder zum Leben. Während sie dem Ziel ihrer Suche näher kommt, erkennt sie, dass ihre Gegenspieler vor nichts zurückschrecken, um sie aufzuhalten. Jeder hofft, das Wissen über die Technologie als Erster zu finden und für sich zu gewinnen. Im modernen Ägypten treffen die Rivalen schließlich aufeinander und ihr Kampf wird über das Schicksal der Welten entscheiden. >> Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung genießt du exklusiv nur bei Audible.

Resurrection
Summary
Five thousand years ago, the Kinley built a ship capable of traveling faster than light. It carried a group of scientists to a small, distant planet - a primitive place called Earth. Its mission was peaceful observation. But when the ship was destroyed, the Kinley crew found themselves stranded in ancient Egypt, participants in the pageant of life in the time of the Pharaohs. They buried remnants of their technology deep beneath the desert and sent a last desperate message home…. Five thousand years later, the Kinley homeworld hovers on the brink of extinction. An enemy that nearly obliterated their race has risen again - now with the ability to destroy them for good. A lone Kinley soldier named Pruit is sent on a desperate mission: to follow the ancient beacon back to Earth and recover the secrets to faster-than-light travel. It is their last hope. Technology that once allowed them to cross vast reaches of space might allow them to outrun their enemies and find a safe world to call their own. But Pruit’s mission will be harder than she can imagine. Her quest will draw her enemies after her and will awaken ancient foes on Earth. As she gets closer to what she seeks, she will find each adversary willing to risk everything to stop her, each hoping to steal the knowledge for themselves.The rivals will meet in modern-day Egypt and their struggle will alter the fate of worlds.
