Jean McClellan è diventata una donna di poche parole. Ma non per sua scelta. Può pronunciarne solo cento al giorno, non una di più. Anche sua figlia di sei anni porta il braccialetto conta parole, e le è proibito imparare a leggere e a scrivere. Perché, con il nuovo governo al potere, in America è cambiato tutto. Jean è solo una dei milioni di donne che, oltre alla voce, hanno dovuto rinunciare al passaporto, al conto in banca, al lavoro. Ma è l'unica che ora ha la possibilità di ribellarsi.

O governo decreta que as mulheres só podem falar 100 palavras por dia. A Dra. Jean McClellan está em negação. Ela não acredita que isso esteja acontecendo de verdade. Em pouco tempo, as mulheres também são impedidas de trabalhar e os professores não ensinam mais as meninas a ler e escrever. Antes, cada pessoa falava em média 16 mil palavras por dia, mas agora as mulheres só têm 100 palavras para se fazer ouvir. Lutando por si mesma, sua filha e todas as mulheres silenciadas, Jean vai reivindicar sua voz.

Christina Dalcher nous offre avec "Vox" un roman dystopique glaçant qui rend hommage au pouvoir des mots et du langage. Jean McClellan est docteure en neurosciences. Elle a passé sa vie dans un laboratoire de recherches, loin des mouvements protestataires qui ont enflammé son pays. Mais, désormais, même si elle le voulait, impossible de s'exprimer : comme toutes les femmes, elle est condamnée à un silence forcé, limitée à un quota de 100 mots par jour.

When the Fenris system is overrun by the forces of Chaos, the Imperium rallies to its defence, and Space Marines from many Chapters arrive to lend their aid to the beleaguered defenders.

A Space Wolf and a Dark Angel must join forces when the rest of their strikeforce is slaughtered by daemons, deep underground.

Je mag honderd woorden per dag spreken. Eén woord meer en je krijgt een stroomstoot van duizend volt. Welkom in het nieuwe Amerika. Dr. Jean McClellan brengt haar tijd in stilte door. Ze heeft een teller om haar pols die elk woord bijhoudt dat ze spreekt. Ieder woord boven de honderd zorgt voor een krachtige stroomstoot. En dat is niet de enige maatregel die de nieuwe regering heeft opgelegd. Sinds er een extreem conservatieve partij aan de macht is gekomen, zijn miljoenen vrouwen hun baan kwijtgeraakt. Hun bankrekeningen zijn bevroren, hun paspoorten ingetrokken.

Ihr könnt uns die Wörter nehmen, aber zum Schweigen bringt ihr uns nicht! Als die neue Regierung anordnet, dass Frauen ab sofort nicht mehr als einhundert Wörter am Tag sprechen dürfen, will Jean McClellan diese wahnwitzige Nachricht nicht wahrhaben - das kann nicht passieren. Nicht im 21. Jahrhundert. Nicht in Amerika. Nicht ihr. Schon bald jedoch kann Jean ihren Beruf als Wissenschaftlerin nicht länger ausüben. Schon bald wird ihrer Tochter Sonia in der Schule nicht länger Lesen und Schreiben beigebracht. Sie und alle Mädchen und Frauen werden ihres Stimmrechts, ihres Lebensmutes, ihrer Träume beraubt.

An engineer, she designed and built bleeding edge combat starships, the kind that kept Earth safe from alien invasion. Focused on her work, she lost her fiancé and her job on the same day. She volunteered to be matched to a Mahdfel warrior. Being in space with the warrior aliens was the only way to pursue her research. Face to face with her muscular new husband, their instant chemistry took her breath away. Falling into bed was easy but falling in love? And what were they going to do now that she was pregnant?

When they discover dangerous activities on the glowing-hot surface, there can only be one explanation: A highly sophisticated life form must be at work.

In 2014, the ESA spacecraft Rosetta lands a small probe named Philae on 67P, a Jupiter-family comet. The lander goes radio-silent two years later. Suddenly, in 2026, scientists receive new transmissions from the comet. Motivated by findings that are initially sensational but soon turn frightening, NASA dispatches a crewed spacecraft to the comet. But as the ship approaches the mysterious celestial body, the connection to the astronauts soon breaks. Now it seems nothing can be done anymore to stop the looming dark danger that threatens Earth....

Peter Kraemer, a physics teacher with a passion for astronomy, makes a discovery that he himself can hardly believe: Stars disappear from one day to the next, with nothing left of them. The researchers he contacts provide reassuring and logical explanations for every single case. But when Peter determines that the mysterious process is approaching our home system, he becomes more and more anxious. He alone perceives the looming catastrophe. When he believes he has found a way to avert the impending disaster, he chooses to pull out all the stops.

Cien al día. Ni una más. Esa es la cifra de palabras que la neurolingüista Jean McClellan y el resto de mujeres tienen derecho a pronunciar cada día. Una sola palabra por encima de esa cifra y cientos de voltios de electricidad recorrerán las venas de cualquier mujer que se atreva a sobrepasarla. Ese es el mandato del nuevo gobierno. Las mujeres no pueden escribir, los libros les han sido prohibidos, sus cuentas bancarias han sido transferidas al hombre de la familia más cercano y se han suprimido todos los empleos para las mujeres.
