Dinotopia lost, le royaume perdu

From the award-winning series comes an anthology of hopeful stories centering on: "What is a life well-lived? What would you do to have a meaningful life?"Recommended by Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, Locus, and Foreword ReviewsTravel with twenty-three speculative fiction authors through the seasons of life to capture the memories, identities, and moments of stepping through the portal of change, as they cope with their own journeys of growing older. From the moment of birth, through each threshold of our lives, to the moment we take our last breath, we age. Some of us leap into a hopeful future, some cling to the knowns of our former selves, some wander obliviously through the minefields and poppies of change. Something is lost, something is gained in each season. Things forgotten, things remembered. A child redefines identity and belonging in post-Soviet Hungary. A girl blossoming to adult awareness exchanges life for death in rural Canada. A college student chooses between the magic of ancient spirits and the magic of daily happiness in modern Japan. In futuristic India, a mother finds joy in the balance between family and career. Under the Andalusian sun, a mathematician consults his older self in affairs of love. In alternate Tanzania, a husband and wife discover wisdom in memory loss. A robot eases an old man's grief, and a grandmother opens her heart when she listens to her child.  And many more hopeful stories. ORIGINAL STORIES BY Maurice Broaddus, Vanessa Cardui, C. J.

Seasons Between Us: Tales of Identities and Memories - Laksa Anthology Series: Speculative Fiction

Les Nécromongers... Une horde vomie du néant sidéral, derrière laquelle ne pousse que le silence. Le silence de mondes oblitérés... Des croyants sincères qui vénèrent la mort et se sont donnés pour mission de l'offrir à tout l'univers. À leur tête, le Lord Marshal, celui qui n'est ni mort, ni vivant a décidé de leur prochaine étape : Hélion Prime, le carrefour de l'humanité, la planète la plus riche de la galaxie, celle dont les feux éclipsent le soleil mérite bien de connaître l'extase. Une nuit suffira pour éteindre ses lumières et sa civilisation... C'est cette même nuit que Riddick choisit - un hasard ?- pour y débarquer. Une affaire à régler. Une toute petite affaire... et c'est pas la fin de l'univers qui va l'en empêcher.

Les chroniques de Riddick

The Humanx Commonwealth: Book Eight.
The mission to planet Quofum to investigate unknown flora and fauna is supposed to be a quickie for Captain Boylan and his crew. 
The first surprise is that Quofum, which seems to regularly slip in and out of existence, is actually there when they arrive. The second surprise is Quofum's wild biodiversity: the planet is not logical, ordered or rational. But the real shock comes when the crew members not only find a killer in their midst but discover that their spaceship is missing - along with all means of communication. 
Of course, the marooned team-mates know nothing about the Great Evil racing toward the galaxy, or about Flinx, the only person with half a chance to stop it. Nor do they know that Quofum could play a crucial role in defeating the all devouring monster from beyond.
