Dinotopia lost, le royaume perdu

Pip and Flinx: Book Ten.
Never have the cares of the universe lain so heavily on Flinx's shoulders, nor the forces against him seemed so invincible. Pursued by a newly revealed sect of doomsday fanatics and hunted by factions inside and outside the Commonwealth, he is expected to single-handedly avert a looming galactic crisis (or bear responsibility for the consequences.) Flinx can be forgiven for feeling a slight touch of melancholy. 
According to his ship's Al, there's only one solution for what ails Flinx - a vacation. But with increasing number of enemies chasing him with ever greater enthusiasm, Flinx must find a getaway shrouded in obscurity. It seems that Jast, a planet smack in the middle of nowhere, is prefect, but trouble can find Flinx anywhere. What he doesn't know is that his vacation paradise is a danger zone of the highest magnitude. And by the time he learns the truth, it may be too late.

Star Wars Episode VII : Le réveil de la Force (Star Wars)

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

It's a good thing Flinx is no stranger to rouble, because he's swimming in it. After surviving an attack by a new gang of assailants, Flinx is spirited away and enlisted in a battle against an extra-galactic threat. Hidden behind the Great Emptiness, in a place where it seems matter and energy have never been, there is only evil. Pure evil that is approaching him, accelerating. 
This terrifying, high-stakes adventure through perilous new realms will rocket Flinx into the very heart of danger - and into the arms of the only woman he's ever loved. As he and Pip bravely travel to a place where no man or mini-drag has gone before, Flinx discovers he has a few more friends than he thought - and far more enemies than he ever imagined.

Flinx's Folly

Inspector Angel Cardenas has seen plenty of corpses like the one in the Quetzal inburb - just another Juan Doe robbed of his cash, cards, internal organs, and then dumped in a gutter. However Cardenas soon learns this murder is anything but ordinary...
First, the infallible DNA-ID database insists the cadaver is that of two people - local executive George Anderson and a mysterious Texas businessman. Then Anderson's wife and daughter, Surtsey Mockerkin and Katla, turn up missing, their posh suburban home has been retrofitted into a huge time bomb... and at least three mob syndicates from as many continents are competing to capture or kill twelve-year-old-Katla.
Who is the dead man, and why is his daughter being hunted? Relying on his training as a nearly telepathic intuit, Inspector Cardenas embarks on a search that leads him from sex parlours and stimstick clubs of the Strip - where kids are deadly and even the music kills - to an undersea control room where computer crimes are committed by criminal by criminal computers.
Finding Katla Anderson is the key to unravelling the deadly mystery, but what Angel Cardenas doesn't know is that the closer he gets to the girl, the closer the assassins are getting to them...

The Mocking Program

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.

An excellent volume of varied voices, both familiar and new."-Library Journal"Through soft and hard science fiction, magical realism, folklore, horror, high fantasy, and alternate history, the 20 stories and two poems tackle aging, loss, change, and adaptation. Like the authors and characters, the settings are diverse. Fans of speculative fiction are well served."-Kirkus Reviews"The dazzling speculative fiction anthology Seasons Between Us features a range of distinct and powerful voices. By stretching the boundaries of what is and what might be, the stories in Seasons Between Us are compelling in addressing choice, identity, and meaning."-Foreword Reviews (starred reviews)"A thought-provoking collection of short works.
