Martha Wells Libri

Sono tempi disperati per l'Alleanza Ribelle: gli attacchi degli Imperiali e la mancanza di rifornimenti vitali ostacolano il completamento di una nuova base segreta sul pianeta ghiacciato di Hoth. Così, quando dei mercanti offrono in vendita i materiali indispensabili, la principessa Leia Organa e Han Solo sono pronti a comandare una delegazione per negoziare un accordo. Un tradimento, però, costringe la nave ribelle a fuggire in un territorio controllato da pirati. Leia allora fa una scoperta sconvolgente: i feroci predoni che li accolgono provengono dal suo pianeta natale, Alderaan, recentemente distrutto dalla Morte Nera. I rifugiati sono costretti al saccheggio per sopravvivere, e sono in debito con una flotta corsara che sarà ben lieta di consegnare la Principessa all'Impero, una volta scoperta la sua vera identità. Leia è determinata ad aiutare i suoi compatrioti, anche se le forze imperiali sono in avvicinamento. Intrappolata tra tagliagole letali e brutali oppressori, insieme ad Han, Chewbacca e a un equipaggio pronto alla battaglia deve sfidare la morte per mantenere viva la speranza!

Martha Wells' New York Times and USA Today bestselling Murderbot series exploded onto the scene in 2017, and the world has not been the same, since. Murderbot returns in its highly-anticipated, first, full-length standalone novel, Network Effect. You know that feeling when you’re at work, and you’ve had enough of people, and then the boss walks in with yet another job that needs to be done right this second or the world will end, but all you want to do is go home and binge your favorite shows? And you're a sentient murder machine programmed for destruction? Congratulations, you're Murderbot.

Drastic action it is, then.

The New York Times bestselling security droid with a heart (though it wouldn't admit it!) is back! Having captured the hearts of readers across the globe (Annalee Newitz says it's "one of the most humane portraits of a nonhuman I've ever read") Murderbot has also established Martha Wells as one of the great SF writers of today. No, I didn't kill the dead human. If I had, I wouldn't dump the body in the station mall. When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people—who knew?) Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans! Again! A new standalone adventure in the New York Times-bestselling, Hugo and Nebula Award winning series!
