Le Grand Vaisseau, aussi vaste que Jupiter, a longtemps voyage autour de notre galaxie, en abritant dans ses flancs immenses des milliards d'êtres vivants de toute origine qui cohabitaient harmonieusement sous la férule de milliers de capitaines quasi immortels. Mais cette époque est désormais révolue. Apres avoir survécu in extremis a la revole d'une partie de ses passagers, l'immense carcasse a change de direction et cherche a panser ses plaies. Elle fonce désormais vers une gigantesque région de l'espace ou les étoiles sont si rares que le ciel est aussi sombre que de l'encre. C'est un voyage sans retour. Pendant que les capitaines et les rémoras s'efforcent de réparer la coque, le navire s'enfonce peu a peu dans la noirceur. La, dans ce vide étrange, se cache la plus grande menace que le Vaisseau ait jamais affrontée. Car la vie peut prendre des formes inattendues, et l'entité mystérieuse qui veille au fond du puits dans les étoiles a appris a être patiente.

Cornell Novak joins a secret government project and learns about "portals" to alien worlds through which humans emerge as aliens. Cornell crosses a portal with Porsche, with whom he embarks upon a bizarre odyssey. When he returns to Earth, Cornell realizes that his greatest challenge is yet to come, as he faces secrets more shattering than any of his encounters on the other side.

The narrative follows a colossal, crewless starship that has drifted through the void of space since the universe's inception. When humans discover this ancient relic beyond the Milky Way, they seize the opportunity to explore its mysteries. Named the Great Ship, it becomes the centerpiece of an audacious journey through the galaxy's vibrant civilizations, raising questions about purpose, exploration, and humanity's place in the cosmos.

The book showcases nearly 200 vintage black and white photographs of Indiana's covered bridges, highlighting the state's rich architectural heritage from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Captured by pioneering photographers, these images document the structures that once flourished across more than 36 counties. The collection reflects a historical movement in the 1930s and 1940s aimed at preserving these iconic bridges, many of which faced the threat of abandonment and decay.

The best stories of the year: here is a collection of the best science fiction prose written in 2006, by some of the genre's greatest authors, and selected by Rich Horton, a contributing reviewer to many of the field's most respected magazines.

The Great Ship is home to a multitude of alien races and a near-immortal crew. They have toured the Milky Way for millennia, the best and the brightest from a thousand worlds, but the true purpose of the Ship has remained hidden. Now, time is running out. The huge spacecraft is heading for the dark, immense, region of space known as the Ink Well, and the only entity in the universe more vast and mysterious than the Great Ship is lying in wait ... 'THE WELL OF STARS is wonderful far-future SF of the best kind: imaginative, epic, mind-blowing, but anchored by a strong sense of character and a glorious cast of heroes and rogues. The Great Ship is surely one of the most audacious creations in recent SF.' ALASTAIR REYNOLDS

The Ship has travelled the universe for longer than any of the near-immortal crew can recall, its true purpose and origins unknown. It is larger than many planets, housing thousands of alien races and just as many secrets. Now one of those secrets has been discovered: at the centre of the Ship is ... a planet. Marrow. But when a team of the Ship's best and brightest are sent down to investigate, will they return with the origins of the Ship - or will they bring doom to everyone on board? 'MARROW is an extraordinary and extraordinarily intelligent novel stuffed with wonder and wit ... should elevate him to the ranks of the very best writers of the genre' INTERZONE For more information on this and other Orbit books, visit the website at www.orbitbooks.co.uk
