Az emberiség gyarmatosította a Naprendszert, és a Föld egyre inkább a külső bolygóktól függ, miközben az aszteroidaövezet kalózai is folyamatos fenyegetést jelentenek rá. Amikor a Marsról érkezett élelmiszerek rejtélyes haláleseteket okoznak, a Tudományos Tanács legfiatalabb tagját, David Starrt küldi a Marsra, hogy felderítse a gyilkosságok indítékát, de David egy sokkal nagyobb titokra bukkan a kietlen bolygó mélyén. Útja később a kisbolygóövezetbe viszi, ahol a szülei egy kalóztámadásban életüket vesztették, ám ekkor már nem csupán néhány halálesettel kell számolnia, hanem talán a Föld sorsa is rajta múlik… A Paul French álnéven írt ifjúsági sorozat Isaac Asimov könnyed és kalandos oldalát mutatja meg, miközben nem ad fel semmit a klasszikus science fiction tudományos igényességéből és a szerzőre jellemző sodró és világos stílusból. Az első két könyv, Az Űrvándor és Az aszteroidák kalózai most közös kiadásban, új fordításban jelenik meg.

Miközben Hari Seldon azon dolgozik, hogy tökéletesítse a pszichohistória forradalmi tudományát, és biztosítsa az emberiség helyét a csillagok között, a Galaktikus Birodalom az összeomlás küszöbére kerül. Seldon a hatalomért folyó harc kellős közepén találja magát: aki megszerzi magának a matematikust, annak kezébe kerül a pszichohistória, és egyúttal a galaxis jövője is. Seldonnak többek között olyanoktól kell megóvnia élete munkáját, mint a populista, befolyásolható Cleon császár és egy könyörtelen tábornok, miközben meg kell találnia szellemi hagyatéka valódi örököseit – és a keresés saját unokájával és egy új Alapítvány álmával kezdődik.

Isaac Asimov élete utolsóként megírt regényében visszatér az Alapítvány világának születéséhez, lezárja a bevezetését annak a könyvsorozatnak, amelyet a science fiction legnagyobb hatású történetei között tartanak számon.

A Vénuszon a gyarmatosító emberek víz alatti civilizációját katasztrófa fenyegeti. A Tudományos Tanács legfiatalabb tagja, David „Lucky” Starr a bolygóra érkezve azzal szembesül, hogy egyre többen esnek valamilyen elmekontroll áldozatául. Egy későbbi kalandja a Merkúron játszódik, ahol egy nagyszabású projekt keretében azon dolgoznak, hogy a Föld jövője érdekében napfényt juttassanak a világűrbe. A Fény Tervezetet azonban valaki szabotálja, és Starr-ra vár a feladat, hogy a végére járjon a szövevényes rejtélynek.

A Paul French álnéven írt ifjúsági sorozat Isaac Asimov könnyed és kalandos oldalát mutatja meg, miközben nem ad fel semmit a klasszikus science fiction tudományos igényességéből és a szerzőre jellemző sodró és világos stílusból. A harmadik és negyedik könyv, A Vénusz óceánja és A Merkúr óriás Napja most közös kiadásban, új fordításban jelenik meg.

Hatfős asztaltársaság találkozik havi rendszerességgel egy étteremben, hogy történetekkel szórakoztassák egymást egy jókedélyű vacsora keretében. Egyikük minden alkalommal vendéget is hoz, aki különleges problémákkal szembesíti a társaságot: megoldatlan bűnügyekkel, izgalmas rejtélyekkel, amelyeket csupán megfeszített agymunka árán lehet felgöngyölíteni. Ezek a legkülönfélébb szakmákban tevékenykedő férfiak – mert zártkörű klubjuk csak férfiakat fogad be – Sherlock Holmest és Hercule Poirot-t megszégyenítő logikával derítik fel a gyilkosságok, tolvajlások és más gaztettek elkövetőit, sőt időnként az is a rejtély részét képezi, hogy egyáltalán mit követtek el. A legendásan széles érdeklődési körű szerző ezúttal ismét új utakra merészkedik, bebizonyítva, hogy nemcsak az SF-hez és a fantasyhez, valamint az ismeretterjesztéshez ért, hanem a szórakoztató és izgalmas krimitörténetek írásához is. „Kevés művemet élvezem annyira, mint Fekete Özvegyeim történeteit.” – Isaac Asimov

A Galaktikus Birodalom tizenkétezer éve létezik – ám egy matematikus szerint már nem sokáig. Hari Seldon minden politikai nyomás ellenére kitart amellett, hogy az általa kidolgozott új tudomány – a pszichohistória – megjósolta a civilizáció bukását. Az új Birodalom felemelkedését megelőző zűrzavar évezredei azonban lerövidíthetők, ha létrehozzák az emberi tudás tárházát egy távoli bolygón: az Alapítványt. 

Isaac Asimov klasszikus regénye írók és olvasók generációinak meghatározó olvasmányélménye, ami arra a kérdésre keresi a választ, vajon a tudomány módszereivel feltérképezhetjük-e a jövőt, és képesek vagyunk-e befolyásolni azt. Az Alapítvány-trilógia évtizedekkel a megírása után is elgondolkodtató olvasmány, aminek ott a helye minden sci-fi olvasó polcán.

A Galaktikus Birodalom már csak emlék, az Alapítvány pedig behódolt a titokzatos Öszvér hatalmának. Úgy tűnik, a Seldon-terv elbukott. Ám létezik egy Második Alapítvány, amely a színfalak mögött igyekszik alakítani az eseményeket, és különleges módszereikkel visszavezetni az emberiséget a Seldon által megálmodott útra. Az Öszvér és az Első Alapítvány tagjai is mindent megtesznek, hogy rábukkanjanak erre a rejtélyes szervezetre, de a titkot, amely meghatározza az egész faj sorsát, nem olyan egyszerű feltárni.

Isaac Asimov klasszikus trilógiájának utolsó kötetében az egész galaxisra kiterjedő kutatás során továbbra is azzal foglalkozik, mi mozgatja az emberiséget, milyen törvényszerűségeknek engedelmeskednek a társadalmak, és hogyan képes egy egyén döntése befolyásolni a jövő alakulását. Az Alapítvány-trilógia évtizedekkel a megírása után is elgondolkodtató olvasmány, aminek ott a helye minden sci-fi olvasó polcán.

Do the number Pi (π) contain everything within? Such as your date of birth, your date of death, even the date of the Doomsday. Well, what if someone knew that a long time ago and coded it somewhere? Could someone else have discovered America in the Middle Ages before Columbus? Well, what if this mysterious person is really a great Oracle who has to hide his talent, and what if his purpose of going there is not to discover a new continent, but to solve one of the world's greatest secrets, the Secret of a Mayan prophetic calendar that explains when the Doomsday in a Mayan pyramid is coming? The Mayans actually calculated the date of the Doomsday as 13.0.0.0.0 Baktun and they encoded it into a giant calendar. Well, what did that actually mean? 13 Baktun was actually a giant code in which the Mayans, who were also adept at mathematics, placed the true date of the Doomsday into the number Pi (π), and it indicated a date that was not 2012 but further. Did the Mayans come up with this information themselves, or did they get it from a lost civilization far more advanced than themselves, called Atlantis? Oracle Bruno realized at the end of his 22 years of work that all this could not be a coincidence, and it was all about to fall into place. “It's all over, we can't go back now, it's too late!" he said to himself and removed the sarcophagus lid of the temple and placed the last of the three large stone disks in place. Now everything was ready, he was about to find out which date actually 13th Baktun coincide with that is the biggest secret of human history hidden in the Mayan Calendar, which is impossible to solve, by calculating the hidden code in the number of Pi:            13th Baktun: 13,3333 × 366,6666 (day) = 4903rd code                       The 4903rd number of the Pi number                            Coincide with the year 2222.                                              * * * In 1500, on a dark night in a farmhouse near Granada in Southern Spain, a gray-colored 1-meter extraterrestrial creature who called himself 'Alien' in his notes; stood in front of the door with two letters containing a series of prophecies about the future of the world and a mysterious map with a place marked on it, and with a huge picture that consisted of 100 scrambled numbers of some cryptic complex numbers and writing of future dates; and he was staring at Bruno with his big black eyes. In fact, this number picture, which is a giant 'Anagram', was a small piece of a giant spiral that began with 3.14... and extending to infinity, in which the histories of all the past and future events in the world were encoded. Alien suddenly threw the things in his hand towards him and began to run rapidly through the cornfield towards the lights descending from the sky 1 km away. As he began to run, the flying object began to quickly descend from the sky and disappeared into the darkness. Bruno first glanced toward the direction of the alien and went with fearful eyes, he had neither seen nor heard anything like this in his entire life, except in the stories of Satan and Jinn, told by people in the Church. He was frozen with fear, he wanted to follow him in that direction, but he didn't dare. He then reached out to the papers on the ground and slowly picked them up from where the alien had left them. These two prophetic letters that Oracle Bruno received that night, and a map that shows the location of a mysterious ‘Mayan calendar' in a temple in the middle of a great continent marked with “America” in Latin-like language, across Spain, and with “Atlantis” written in the middle, would in fact be the beginning of a struggle between God and Satan, which began with the expulsion of mankind from Heaven, and continuing until the Doomsday. So that, Bruno would realize before it was too late that this bloody struggle, which would cost him and all his loved ones lives, was in fact the beginning of a great prophecy that concerned not only him but the end of all mankind. The chain of events that began in medieval Spain with a dramatic and bitter life and death struggle in the Inquisition led Bruno and his sister Sofia on a dangerous and long journey from Andalusia to a Mayan temple in Mexico, the center of the Mayan civilization, and it would eventually end with their execution. But the Great Prophecy that was announced would bring an end not only for the church or for them, but also the whole world this time. Because The Last Prophecy was leading humanity to the end of its story, the Doomsday, which started with the expulsion from Heaven. WHERE DID HUMANITY COME FROM, WHERE ARE WE GOING? YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IN THE LAST PROPHECY.

Caught between love and revenge, Jake has one chance to live up to the man his uncle was. 

Earth crashed into interstellar politics as a lightweight, lagging so far behind other planetary weapons systems everyone feared they wouldn't survive first contact with other worlds without quick action. By 2185, Earth had united itself into five geographic sectors and developed a defense system powerful enough to keep aggressors at bay-for now, at least. 

Jake Saunders became a Legion soldier to honor the memory of his war hero uncle, who was brutally murdered in front of him when he was still a young teen. Fast forward a few years, and Jake and his best friend Cal have been tasked with escorting Cal's older sister Diane to become Earth's ambassador on a far-off planet. It's the opportunity of Diane's career, very likely a lifetime post. But for Jake, that could mean a lifetime's heartbreak. He has loved Diane since they were kids, and every step closer to that ambassador assignment is a step closer to goodbye.

But somebody is after more than Earth's defense, and Jake, Cal, and Diane are on a trajectory to crash headlong into that dangerous plot. Somebody wants to play Earth against its most immediate threat, Craton, and convince both to develop super weapons-and he's working with the person who killed Jake's uncle all those years ago. When he reappears on Jake, Cal, and Diane's journey to the ambassadorship, Jake is faced with difficult choices to look out for his friends and honor his uncle's memory.
