Pushing Ice is the brilliant tale of extraordinary aliens, glittering technologies, and sweeping space opera from award-winning science fiction author Alastair Reynolds. 2057. Humanity has raised exploiting the solar system to an art form. Bella Lind and the crew of her nuclear-powered ship, the Rockhopper, push ice. They mine comets. And they're good at it. The Rockhopper is nearing the end of its current mission cycle, and everyone is desperate for some much-needed R & R, when startling news arrives from Saturn: Janus, one of Saturn's ice moons, has inexplicably left its natural orbit and is now heading out of the solar system at high speed. As layers of camouflage fall away, it becomes clear that Janus was never a moon in the first place. It's some kind of machine -- and it is now headed toward a fuzzily glimpsed artifact 260 light-years away. The Rockhopper is the only ship anywhere near Janus, and Bella Lind is ordered to shadow it for the few vital days before it falls forever out of reach. In accepting this mission, she sets her ship and her crew on a collision course with destiny -- for Janus has more surprises in store, and not all of them are welcome.… (plus d'informations)
En 2057, Janus, une lune de Saturne, quitte soudain son orbite. Unique vaisseau alentour, le Rockhopper, propriété d'une compagnie minière qui exploite la glace des comètes, est le seul véhicule spatial capable d'intercepter le satellite avant qu'il ne quitte définitivement le système solaire. En acceptant d'interrompre sa mission de routine pour effectuer une courte exploration de Janus, le capitaine Bella Lind et son équipage s'embarquent dans une aventure qui mettra à rude épreuve leur cohésion. Car, en réalité, Janus n'est pas une lune, mais un artefact extraterrestre qui leur réserve bien des surprises... Outre la grande exigence scientifique qui caractérise chacun de ses romans, Alastair Reynolds fait preuve dans Janus d'une remarquable justesse psychologique pour décrire la tension dans l'espace clos du Rockhopper. Une fascinante odyssée spatiale, par l'un des maîtres de la science-fiction contemporaine.
