Rebelião

“High above the planet Florinia, the Squires of Sark live in unimaginable wealth and comfort. Down in the eternal spring of the planet, however, the native Florinians labor ceaselessly to produce the precious kyrt that brings prosperity to their Sarkite masters. Rebellion is unthinkable and impossible. Not only do the Florinians no longer have a concept of freedom, any disruption of the vital kyrt trade would cause other planets to rise in protest, ultimately destabilizing trade and resulting in a galactic war. So the Trantorian Empire, whose grand plan is to unite all humanity in peace, prosperity, and freedom, has stood aside and allowed the oppression to continue. Living among the workers of Florinia, Rik is a man without a memory or a past. He has been abducted and brainwashed. Barely able to speak or care for himself when he was found, Rik is widely regarded as a simpleton by the worker community where he lives. But as his memories begin to return, Rik finds himself driven by a cryptic message he is determined to deliver: Everyone on Florinia is doomed . . . the Currents of Space are bringing destruction. But if the planet is evacuated, the power of Sark will end--so some would finish the job and would kill the messenger. The fate of the Galaxy hangs in the balance.”

Synopsis

“One of the great masterworks of science fiction, the Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov are unsurpassed for their unique blend of nonstop action, daring ideas, and extensive world-building. The story of our future begins with the history of Foundation and its greatest psychohistorian: Hari Seldon. For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. Only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future--a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire--both scientists and scholars--and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the Galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation. But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. And mankind's last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and live as slaves--or take a stand for freedom and risk total destruction.”

Synopsis

“UM MUNDO CONHECIDO PELO HOMEM HÁ APENAS UMA VIDA, A MORTE ESPREITAVA SOB MIL DISFARCES INOCENTESNo futuro, a Lua, esse astro que atraiu e encantou a humanidade desde os primórdios, se torna um destino turístico. Seus mares nunca antes navegados, compostos por um depósito de poeira que permaneceu intocado e imóvel ao longo de milhões de anos, passam a ser desbravados por uma nave de cruzeiro com tecnologia de ponta: a Selene.Mas o espaço, apesar de nossos avanços científicos, continua sendo um ambiente arriscado, indômito e cheio de armadilhas. O que parecia um simples passeio turístico se torna uma perigosa aventura quando a Selene, com vinte passageiros a bordo, naufraga em poeira no Mar da Sede.Sem comunicação ou meios de voltar à superfície, o pequeno grupo fica preso, e os turistas, junto a dois tripulantes e um experiente astronauta, se tornam um microcosmo da sociedade. Enquanto aguarda o resgate, o capitão da Selene precisa lidar com as ansiedades de seus passageiros e, ao mesmo tempo, tomar difíceis decisões que podem significar a vida ou a morte para cada um dos náufragos.”
