Germany, 1945.
Mia, a nineteen-year-old girl, is sent by the OSS to find Wernher von Braun. Her mission: stop the Russians getting hold of Germany's - and the world's - foremost rocket scientist.
Von Braun is suspicious. And so he should be.
For Mia is no ordinary girl. She only looks human. And helping the Allies win the Second World War is only one part of her plan.
Because there's an even darker conflict taking place on Earth. A secret struggle thousands of years old that has engulfed and taken generations of Mia's people.
Can the firing of rockets finally bring about its end? Will Mia, as the last of her kind, bring the stars down to Earth?
And if she succeeds, what will happen to us?

A speculative fiction as rich as The Man in the High Castle and as packed with thrills as Ready Player One
'An alt-history with a difference' GUARDIAN

This is a secret history of our world like no other . . .
Always run, never fight.
Preserve the knowledge.
Survive at all costs.
Take them to the stars.

Showing that truth is stranger than fiction, Sylvain Neuvel weaves a scfi thriller reminiscent of Blake Crouch and Andy Weir, blending a fast moving, darkly satirical look at 1940s rocketry with an exploration of the amorality of progress and the nature of violence in A History of What Comes Next.

Always run, never fight.
Preserve the knowledge.
Survive at all costs.
Take them to the stars.

Over 99 identical generations, Mia’s family has shaped human history to push them to the stars, making brutal, wrenching choices and sacrificing countless lives. Her turn comes at the dawn of the age of rocketry. Her mission: to lure Wernher Von Braun away from the Nazi party and into the American rocket program, and secure the future of the space race.

But Mia’s family is not the only group pushing the levers of history: an even more ruthless enemy lurks behind the scenes.

A darkly satirical first contact thriller, as seen through the eyes of the women who make progress possible and the men who are determined to stop them...

Britain, the not-too-distant future. Idir is sitting the British Citizenship Test. He wants his family to belong. Twenty-five questions to determine their fate. Twenty-five chances to impress. When the test takes an unexpected and tragic turn, Idir is handed the power of life and death. How do you value a life when all you have is multiple choice?

In her childhood, Rose Franklin accidentally discovered a giant metal hand buried beneath the ground outside Deadwood, South Dakota. As an adult, Dr. Rose Franklin led the team that uncovered the rest of the body parts which together form Themis: a powerful robot of mysterious alien origin. She, along with linguist Vincent, pilot Kara, and the unnamed Interviewer, protected the Earth from geopolitical conflict and alien invasion alike. Now, after nearly ten years on another world, Rose returns to find her old alliances forfeit and the planet in shambles. And she must pick up the pieces of the Earth Defense Corps as her own friends turn against each other.

'Reminiscent of The Martian and World War Z' PIERCE BROWN A twenty-story-tall metallic figure appears in the middle of Regent's Park. The caretakers at London Zoo notice it first at around 4am. The figure, or robot, bears a great resemblance to the UN robot known as Themis . . . Who made Themis? It's been ten years since Themis - a giant alien metal robot - was revealed to the world by Dr Rose Franklin. It now stands at the heart of the Earth Defense Corps - in case the makers of Themis return to claim it. Why did they leave it here? Rose and her team are still seeking answers to Themis's origins when a second and even bigger robot appears in London's Regent's Park. A military response backfires, reducing half the city to bare earth. And what if they come back? As more robots appear across the world, Rose knows it's a race against time to discover where they've come from, what they want and - most importantly - how to stop them . . .

Катаясь на новом велосипеде около своего дома в маленьком городке Дедвуде, девочка по имени Роза проваливается под землю. Очнувшись, она обнаруживает странную квадратную камеру, чьи стены покрыты резными панелями с пылающими символами. Но ее спасатели видят картину еще более странную: девочка сидит на гигантской металлической ладони. Многие годы причудливый артефакт хранит свою тайну – не известно ни его происхождение, ни создатели, ни цель создания, а возраст, исчисляемый тысячелетиями, кажется невозможным. Роза Франклин, теперь доктор физико-математических наук, постепенно подходит все ближе к разгадке, но она и сама не знает, что…

As a child, Rose Franklin made an astonishing discovery: a giant metallic hand, buried deep within the earth. As an adult, she’s dedicated her brilliant scientific career to solving the mystery that began that fateful day: Why was a titanic robot of unknown origin buried in pieces around the world? Years of investigation have produced intriguing answers—and even more perplexing questions. But the truth is closer than ever before when a second robot, more massive than the first, materializes and lashes out with deadly force.

Now humankind faces a nightmare invasion scenario made real, as more colossal machines touch down across the globe. But Rose and her team at the Earth Defense Corps refuse to surrender. They can turn the tide if they can unlock the last secrets of an advanced alien technology. The greatest weapon humanity wields is knowledge in a do-or-die battle to inherit the Earth . . . and maybe even the stars.

Tüdruk, kelle nimi on Rose, sõidab oma uue jalgrattaga Lõuna-Dakotas Deadwoodis kodu lähedal ringi, kui kukub järsku maa sisse. Ta ärkab üles neljakandilise augu põhjas, mille seintel hiilgavad keerukad graveeringud. Aga teda päästma tulnud tuletõrjujad näevad auku vaadates midagi veel kummalisemat: väike tüdruk lamab hiiglasuure metallist käe peopesas.

Seitseteist aastat hiljem on veidra artefakti mõistatus endiselt lahendamata, objekti päritolu, ehitajad ja otstarve teadmata. Radiosüsinikumeetod annab uskumatu tulemuse; sõjaväelisi raporteid tsenseeritakse; teooriaid tekib ja kaob.

Mõned aga ei suuda kuidagi vastuste otsimisest loobuda.

Rose Franklin on nüüd kõrgelt haritud füüsik, kes juhib ülisalajast meeskonda, et käe koodi lahti murda. Teda ja tema kolleege intervjueerib keegi nimetu ülekuulaja, kelle võim ja haldusala on niisama mõistatuslikud nagu too muistis, mida nad otsivad. Selge on ainult see, et Rose ja tema kaasmaalased on ajaloo kõige hämmastavama avastuse lävel ja kohe-kohe teada saamas, mida see inimkonna jaoks kaasa toob. Aga kui mõistatuse tükid lõpuks kokku pannakse, kas on siis tulemuseks igavese rahu tööriist või massihävitusrelv?

«Magavad hiiglased» on leidlik debüüt, mis järgib «Z maailmasõja» ja «Marslase» traditsioone, jutustatud intervjuude, päevikulõikude, üleskirjutuste ja uudislugude teravas rütmis, põnevusromaan, millele annab hoogu tõeotsing ja püüd valitseda jõudu, mis vapustab kogu Maad.

A girl named Rose is riding her new bike near her home in Deadwood, South Dakota, when she falls through the earth. She wakes up at the bottom of a square hole, its walls glowing with intricate carvings. But the firemen who come to save her peer down upon something even stranger: a little girl in the palm of a giant metal hand.

Seventeen years later, the mystery of the bizarre artifact remains unsolved—its origins, architects, and purpose unknown. Its carbon dating defies belief; military reports are redacted; theories are floated, then rejected.

But some can never stop searching for answers.

Rose Franklin is now a highly trained physicist leading a top secret team to crack the hand’s code. And along with her colleagues, she is being interviewed by a nameless interrogator whose power and purview are as enigmatic as the provenance of the relic. What’s clear is that Rose and her compatriots are on the edge of unraveling history’s most perplexing discovery—and figuring out what it portends for humanity. But once the pieces of the puzzle are in place, will the result prove to be an instrument of lasting peace or a weapon of mass destruction?
