Ian Jackman: Strange Powers, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Earth has changed while they were in space . . . but so has Anna.

After centuries of survival aboard the Selene space station in the shadow of Saturn, a forgotten group of humans has evolved in ways Earth could never imagine. As communication from their home planet has been dormant for decades---and as their own colony is on the verge of collapse---they send a small group headed by their youthful leader Anna as emissaries on a desperate mission to ensure their survival.

What Anna and the others can't know is that there is no homecoming waiting for them. Instead, they return to a shattered Earth---still reeling from a catastrophic comet strike that has fractured humanity into stratified city-states scrambling for any resource that can give them an advantage.
Anna is treated as one such resource, with strange powers---abilities that every Earth leader is eager to get their hands on. Her arrival sets off a chain of events that will reshape the future of humanity, and perhaps threaten its very survival.

Because the Visitors from Selene bring with them a discovery that could change everything: a connection to the very forces that bind life itself, both on Earth and beyond. But as they navigate a world of political intrigue, fractured alliances, and hidden agendas, they must confront the harsh realities of survival in a society that has lost its way.

Caught between a vain and ruthless corporate leadership, a desperate but guileless smuggler, and a mysterious figure with even greater powers, Anna must decide how far she's willing to go to protect her people---and the fragile hope they represent.
