Earthly year: 2833 Planet: Mystique, under the influence of the Solar Empire "... From the moment she set foot, she couldn't get enough. If she could, she would have embraced it all in a single hug. The endless fields of plants, their soft green stems rising up to 50-70 cm, leafless and ending in clusters of intensely luminous red-to-pink peonies, the low grass forming a dense carpet of the same dark green—all of it gave the impression that the flowers were actually floating above the ground. She walked among them, as if walking on water… each touch creating ripples through the sea of blossoms. Unaware, she had come very close to the weeping willow wall. She wasn't sure where the name came from, but somehow it seemed to fit these trees perfectly—up to 40 meters tall, with trunks in the same omnipresent shade of dark green that turned almost fluorescent lime green toward the middle, adorned with small pink streaks where countless thin branches originated. These branches fell toward the ground, creating an illusion of perpetual levitation. ..."

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Forgotten Planet: Look inside the book: The human beings had forgotten not only their ancestors' ship, but very nearly everything their ancestors had brought to this world: the use of metals, the existence of fire, and even the fact that there was such a thing as sunshine. ...Sitting dismally upon his fungus raft, floating in midstream, an incongruous figure of pink skin and luridly-tinted loin-cloth, with a greasy dead fish beside him, he was filled with a panicky anguish because the river carried him away from the one girl of his tiny tribe whose glances roused a commotion in his breast. About Murray Leinster, the Author: When the pulp magazines began to diversify into particular genres in the 1920s, Leinster followed suit, selling jungle stories to Danger Trails, westerns to West and Cowboy Stories, detective stories to Black Mask and Mystery Stories, horror stories to Weird Tales, and even romance stories to Love Story Magazine under the pen name Louisa Carter Lee. Leinster's first science fiction story, 'The Runaway Skyscraper', appeared in the February 22, 1919 issue of Argosy, and was reprinted in the June 1926 issue of Hugo Gernsback's first science fiction magazine, Amazing Stories.

"The science-fiction novel "The Revival" is an explosion of imagination and surprising revolutionary concepts. It encompasses themes lush enough for multiple books, not just one. Author Alain Costea skillfully weaves these themes into the story without disrupting the narrative flow. The adventures and suspenseful moments are further enhanced by the specific techno-philosophical-sociological revelations characteristic of a richly layered hard SF. The remarkable talent of the author in constructing complex worlds and delving into the psychology of numerous characters allows him to create a true science fiction epic akin to the (space) operas of Alastair Reynolds or Peter F. Hamilton." "The characters in the book—whether main or secondary, human or extraterrestrial—are realistic, vibrant, and possess genuine purposes, dilemmas, and evolutions. Their portrayal is anchored in subtle presentations and psychological introspections. They evolve continuously, undergo transformations, restarts, and epiphanies throughout the story. Amidst the adventures and challenges they face, the protagonists develop their abilities and gain a deeper understanding of the world they inhabit. These penetrating details allow readers to connect with their motivations and experience all their trials and tribulations...." "A notable feature of the author`s style is his ability to explore essential philosophical themes and existential dilemmas. Without veering into moralizing or dogmatism, Alain Costea directs our thoughts toward humanity`s future, ethical quandaries, and the impact of advanced technology upon it. Each new concept applied in their near-future world serves as an invitation for reflection, prompting us to ask: "What would humanity do in such a situation?" The answer becomes far more intriguing when these notions or ideas, typically encountered in the works of great writers, receive a native context and national specificity. The Revival" is an ideal blend of anticipatory-speculative science fiction challenge and entertainment. It strikes a delicate balance, offering tense action within a universe laden with perplexing enigmas that demand deciphering. Its construction as a foundation for a future space opera series is subtly suggested by certain enticing technological developments. Rather than being a clear attribute of the present narrative, it serves as a delightful promise. The story possesses its own earthly flavor and culminates satisfactorily after nearly 700 pages that keep you on the edge of your seat. I recommend this novel not only to readers who appreciate the works of Alastair Reynolds, Peter F. Hamilton, or Philip K. Dick but also to fans of films like "The Matrix," "Contact," or even "Men in Black."

Earthly year: 2726 Planet: Gogo, under the influence of the Solar Empire Captain Migrid’s crew lands on planet Gogo to prepare the first human settlement. However, the reality on the ground does not look the same as that presented in the simulations. "... Viewed from above, planet X3342 resembled Earth, except for the absence of any water sheen. At least on the surface. All tests had proven not only that there was a true system beneath the ground level, but especially that it was potable. Just as she wondered whether there were flooded underground galleries and how, or rather when, they would visit them, she heard her deputy ask as clearly as possible, “Do you listen to my advice, or do we take action?”.
