Títulos em Exploração Espacial

Este é o primeiro título da famosa série escrita por Douglas Adams, que conta as aventuras espaciais do inglês Arthur Dent e de seu amigo Ford Prefect. A dupla escapa da destruição da Terra pegando carona numa nave alienígena, graças aos conhecimentos de Prefect, um E.T. que vivia disfarçado de ator desempregado enquanto fazia pesquisa de campo para a nova edição do Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias, o melhor guia de viagens interplanetário.

Praticamente Inofensiva é tão polêmico quanto seu criador. Muitos o consideram o último volume da série O Mochileiro das Galáxias e outros afirmam tratar-se de um título independente, que apenas utiliza os mesmos personagens. Parte dessa controvérsia se deve aos 13 anos que separam este livro da primeira aventura de Arthur Dent, já que Adams iniciou a coleção no final dos anos 1970 e somente em 1992 retomou a história.

As a deadly new mission approaches, Garrett knows every decision he makes could save billions of lives. Or end them in an instant. Deep in enemy space lies a star system like no other.

In the centuries since its expansion beyond the outer reaches of the Core Sol System, humanity has proven itself to be persistent enough to not only survive in space but to thrive. Hundreds of worlds, planetoids, and stations have been established as the new frontier for mankind, with some colonizers going into stasis for years, awaiting arrival at their new homes among the stars. With that expansion, and the astronomical distances needed to reach the new frontier, comes the need for rescue. Navigation errors, mechanical failures, marauding pirates, unexplainable cosmic phenomena, and more.

Even though new exoplanets are found every year, the chances of finding one that could support humans are extremely low.

From a lab on Earth, Leah, Arthur, and Jonah fight for truth with signatures that cost.
