《第二基地》是“基地”系列三部曲的最后一部。“谜”一般的第二基地的存在成了众矢之的，骡要铲除它，而第一基地的移民为了一个完全不同的理由也必须找到它，但是它究竟在哪里呢？ 骡倾全力寻找并铲除第二基地，却失败了。随后，基地人员也千方百计寻找第二基地，因为他们不愿把建立新帝国的功业拱手让人。谁也没想到，寻找的线索竟维系在一位小女孩身上。十四岁的艾嘉蒂娅怕得要死，她究竟发现了有关第二基地的什么秘密呢？

《基地与帝国》是“基地”系列三部曲中的第二部。此时，由伟大的心里史学家哈里·谢顿所创立的基地，虽然已在银河外缘立稳了脚跟，但还得面对来自银河帝国的压力。 垂死的帝国仍拥有银河中最强大的武力。一位野心勃勃的将军，率太空舰队攻向基地，聚居在基地小行星上的学者和科学家，能逃过大难的一线希望，全维系在谢顿死前留下的语言中…… 可是，就连谢顿当年也无法预料到：还有比太空军团更具有威胁性的外力已悄然诞生，那就是银河中的突变异种——“骡”。面对骡奇异的心灵力量，即使是一支最坚强的人，也会俯首屈服，成为听话的奴隶。骡的黑色舰队兵不血刃地接受了成立三百多年的历史，为了征服宇宙，骡和忠贞之士都在寻找第二基地，而骡的第一波搜索行动，被一个平凡的女子贝妲阻止，从而为第二基地的反攻计划争取到充分的时间。

当初，心理史学家哈里·谢顿建立基地，并预测人类能在千年间重建银河新帝国。现在，498年过去了，谢顿计划似乎被执行得很完美。 “完美，可能吗”基地人员葛兰·崔维兹表示怀疑。首先，谢顿就不曾预测到“骡”会造成大灾祸。此外，有奇异的力量在继续控制人们的心灵。崔维兹尝试警告大家注意危机，却换得被放逐的下场。他于是开始了奇特的银河查访之旅 同时，第二基地的史陀·坚迪柏也怀疑星际间暗藏着强大的操纵力量。他因此航向太空，尾随崔维兹的查访航迹…… 崔维兹终于发现具备不可思议力量的星球。看来，历史进展早已超越谢顿计划的蓝图。现在，只有他能决定，要抢救计划呢，还是任计划灰飞烟灭？

银河未来的命运决定于某人一念之间，这个就是葛兰·崔维兹。他必须在第一基地，第二基地与盖娅之间做出银河未来由谁主导的决定，由第一基地创建的新帝国将会逞领银河进入科技昌明的世纪，由第二基地指导的新帝国将能确保人类的永久和平，而以盖娅为蓝图的盖娅星系则会是个心灵共同体，所有人类将与万物融合成一个良善的整体。崔维兹直觉地做出了选择，但却无法确定自己的选择是否正确，他怀疑宇宙中还藏有更强大的操纵力量。崔维兹相信地球是解开所有谜团的关键，因为地球是人类的起源母星。奇怪的是，银河中有关地球的资料全都神秘消失。决心查明真正的崔维兹，再次在险恶的群星间漂流，寻觅，究竟两万年前的地球隐藏着什么秘密，崔维兹会改变他的决定吗？

在银河帝国的川陀星球，学者哈里·谢顿在数学十年年会上，透露其“心理史学”理论可以证明人类可以用数学预测未来！搅动了银河系若干星球。帝国皇帝要求他“预测一个好的未来”，谢顿答道：“不可能。”皇帝下令行政长官丹莫茨尔掌控谢顿。为逃避，谢顿在记者夫铭安排下开始在银河系逃亡。在川陀大学，他在穹顶上遇险，在麦曲生星球，竟意外得到秘不示人的典籍，开始接触“朴仆”（机器人）问题，冒险闯入麦曲生人的圣堂，长老阁寻找“朴仆”，触犯大忌，与元首日主十四正面交锋，又是夫铭现身营救。一连串难解的遭遇，躲不开关于“长生不老”的机器人的传说。 难以置信的是“他”就是机器人，更不想到的是谢顿所钟情的“她”也是机器人，一个在人的感染下懂得恋爱的机器人。 本书以“心理史学”为引子，走入银河系，展示了人和机器人分不开理不清的联系，我们不能不问，在银河帝国人和机器人谁主沉浮？

在克里昂一世统治下，第一银河帝国勉强维持最后的统一与繁荣，但帝国国势仍持续衰落。这主要是帝国的政治，经济盘根错李的因素所导致，并非当时任何人所能解决的。克里昂的二任首相哈里·谢顿发展出能预测未来的心理史学，为拯救帝国，他在群星尽头建立起第二基地，与第一基地互为呼应。哈里·谢顿，铎丝·凡纳比里，婉达·谢顿等人身上充满着传奇色彩，情节的发展匪夷所思，但敌对的力量异常强大，鹿死谁手实难预料。他们能使银河帝国复兴吗？结局如何？看来我们只有迈向基地，才能探测个中奥秘。

向来，过去才是历史，昨天才是历史。阿西莫夫却与众不同，他的《基地》系列写的是“未来的历史”，是“遥远未来的历史”，是“明天的历史”！ 阿西莫夫这位“未来历史学家”，这位美国的“太史公”，用“史诗”般的笔触，用“基地”系列宏大的篇章，向读者娓娓动听地讲述了来自“银河帝国”、来自第一基地（通常称为“基地”）和第二基地以及来自那个“骡”的跌宕曲折的故事，把“未来的历史”淋漓尽致地奉献给读者。 《基地》是“基地”系列三部曲中扣第一部。统治银河系达一万两千年之久的银河帝国，已经逐渐走向衰亡。这时间，只有心事史学的一代宗师哈里·谢顿预见未来银河人人将会经历一段长达三万年、充满无知、野蛮和战争的黑暗时期。谢顿于是设立集合帝国中最优秀的科学家，来到银河边缘的一个荒凉行星建立“基地”，期望它能成为未来世代人类的希望灯塔。 然而，随着帝国的逐渐衰微，基地被好战的强邻包围。人类也面临痛苦抉择：向野蛮的势力投降、甘心受控制？还是不顾被摧毁的危险起而奋战？

This unabridged audio edition of the New York Times bestseller is the direct sequel to the classic Ender's Game from Orson Scott Card, winner of the Nebula and Hugo Awards. In the aftermath of his terrible war, Ender Wiggin disappeared, and a powerful voice arose: the Speaker for the Dead, who told the true story of the Bugger War. Now, long years later, a second alien race has been discovered by Portuguese colonists on the planet Lusitania. But again the aliens' ways are strange and frightening ... again, humans die. And it is only the Speaker for the Dead, who is also Ender Wiggin the Xenocide, who has the courage to confront the mystery ... and the truth. Orson Scott Card infuses this tale with intellect by casting his characters in social, religious and cultural contexts.

Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut--young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training. Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play at mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers Ender suffers greatly from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling fear of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, fear that he is becoming like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister. Is Ender the general Earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives. "Ender's Game" is the winner of the 1985 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Novel.

When the hospital she works at is transported to the moon, medical student Martha Jones joins forces with The Doctor to hunt down an alien fugitive before the oxygen runs out

This is the first series to feature David Tennant as the tenth Doctor. He continues to travel with his companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper), with whom he has grown increasingly attached. They also briefly travel with Rose's boyfriend Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke), and Camille Coduri reprises her role as Rose's mother Jackie. The series is connected by a loose story arc consisting of the recurring word "Torchwood". This is also the first series to be preceded by a Christmas special, which was commissioned to see how well the show could do at Christmas. The success of "The Christmas Invasion" led to the Christmas special becoming an annual tradition.

The Eleventh Doctor is portrayed by Matt Smith. Steven Moffat took over as head writer and executive producer after Russell T Davies stepped down. Julie Gardner also stepped down as executive producer and was replaced by Piers Wenger and Beth Willis.

The magnificent conclusion to one of the greatest science fiction sagas of our time The time of reckoning has arrived. As a final genocidal Crusade threatens to enslave humanity forever, a new messiah has come of age. She is Aenea and she has undergone a strange apprenticeship to those known as the Others. Now her protector, Raul Endymion, one-time shepherd and convicted murderer, must help her deliver her startling message to her growing army of disciples. But first they must embark on a final spectacular mission to discover the underlying meaning of the universe itself. They have been followed on their journey by the mysterious Shrike--monster, angel, killing machine--who is about to reveal the long-held secret of its origin and purpose. And on the planet of Hyperion, where the story first began, the final revelation will be delivered--an apocalyptic message that unlocks the secrets of existence and the fate of humankind in the galaxy.

The multiple-award-winning science fiction master returns to the universe that is his greatest triumph--the world of "Hyperion" and "The Fall ofHyperion" --with a novel even more magnificent than its predecessors. Dan Simmons's "Hyperion" was an immediate sensation on its first publication in 1989. This staggering multifaceted tale of the far future heralded the conquest of the science fiction field by a man who had already won the World Fantasy Award for his first novel ("Song of Kali") and had also published one of the most well-received horror novels in the field, "Carrion Comfort." "Hyperion" went on to win the Hugo Award as Best Novel, and it and its companion volume, "The Fall of Hyperion," took their rightful places in the science fiction pantheon of new classics. Now, six years later, Simmons returns to this richly imagined world of technological achievement, excitement, wonder and fear. "Endymion" is a story about love and memory, triumph and terror--an instant candidate for the field's highest honors.

Paul Atreides, genetically bred and trained to become the leader of his planet, is still subject to human frailties. The second book of the series.

In the stunning continuation of the epic adventure begun in "Hyperion,"Simmons returns us to a far future resplendent with drama and invention. Onthe world of Hyperion, the mysterious Time Tombs are opening. And the secretsthey contain mean that nothing--nothing anywhere in the universe--will ever bethe same.
