The cataclysmic conclusion to Koontz’s brilliant reworking of the classic tale. The war against humanity is raging. As the small town of Rainbow Falls, Montana, comes under siege, scattered survivors come together to weather the onslaught. Victor Frankenstein’s nihilistic plan is to remake the future: a future in which mankind will be annihilated. To accomplish this aim he has created nothing less than the shock troops of the Apocalypse. Now the alliance of the good must make their last, best stand and do battle against overwhelming odds. And Deucalion, Frankenstein's original and flawed attempt at replicating life, must finally confront his evil creator. In a climax that will shatter every expectation, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance…

Hat nappal ezel?tt Mark Watney az els?k k?z?tt érkezett a Marsra. Most úgy fest, hogy ? lesz az els? ember, aki ott is hal meg. Miután csaknem végez vele egy porvihar, ami evakuációra kényszeríti az ?t halottnak gondoló társait, Mark a Marson ragad. Még arra is képtelen, hogy üzenetet küldj?n a F?ldre, és tudassa a világgal, hogy életben van – de még ha üzenhetne is, a készletei elfogynának, miel?tt egy ment?akció a segítségére siethetne. Bár valószín?leg úgysem lesz ideje éhen halni. Sokkal valószín?bb, hogy még azel?tt vesztét okozzák a sérült berendezések, a k?ny?rtelen k?rnyezet vagy egyszer?en csak a jó ?reg ?emberi tényez?”. De Mark nem hajlandó feladni. Találékonyságát, mérn?ki képességeit és az élethez való hajthatatlan, makacs ragaszkodását latba vetve, rendíthetetlenül állja a sarat a számtalan leküzdhetetlennek t?n? akadállyal szemben. Vajon elegend?nek bizonyul-e leleményessége a lehetetlen véghezviteléhez? ?Egyszer?en letehetetlen ez a k?nyv! A marsi a jól megírt, eredeti sztori, az érdekes, valószer? karakterek, és az elképeszt? technikai hitelesség ritka kombinációja… olyan, mintha a MacGyver-t keresztezték volna A rejtelmes szigettel. ? Chris Hadfield asztronauta, a Nemzetk?zi ?rállomás parancsnoka ?A marsi rendesen odacsapott!

Ett?l a t?rténett?l jobban beléd fojtja a lélegzetet, mint leveg?szivárgás egy ?rhajón. Szórakoztató, okos és p?rg?s – A marsi megad mindent, amit csak egy regényt?l vársz!” Hugh Howey, New York Times bestseller szerz? “Er?s, üt?s és t?k?s.

Mark Lawrence egy újabb trilógia erejéig visszatér a Széthullott Birodalomba, hogy ezúttal egy kevésbé ambiciózus hercegr?l regéljen… A v?r?s királyn? ?reg már, de a Széthullott Birodalom királyai így is mindenki másnál jobban tartanak t?le. Legfélelmetesebb fegyvere a titokzatos Néma N?vér, akit senki sem láthat, de a nevét rettegve emlegetik. A királyn? unokája, a gyáva és részeges n?csábász, emellett szenvedélyes szerencsejátékos Jalan Kendeth herceg mind?ssze tizedik az ?r?klési sorrendben, ám t?kéletesen elégedett jelentéktelen szerepével. A Néma N?vér által állított halálcsapdából megmenekülve sorsa ?sszefonódik Snorri ver Snagasonéval, az ádáz viking harcoséval. Hogy megt?rjék a kettejüket egymáshoz béklyózó varázst, útnak indulnak a Széthullott Birodalmon át a jeges észak felé. A Holt Király bérencei el?l menekülve számtalan veszéllyel, készséges n?kkel, Skilfarral, a jégboszorkával, s?t, még egy Jorg Ancrath nev? j?ttment herceggel és bandájával is találkoznak. ?m Jalan csak egyetlen dologra vágyik: szabadulni Snorritól, miel?tt a viking óriás küldetése sikerrel jár, és végre farkasszemet nézhet ellenségeivel a Fekete Er?dben, a Metsz? Jég peremén. A regényt a szerz? el?z? m?veihez hasonlóan a neves m?fordító Gy.

Juliet Marillier

A magnificent saga set in the Celtic twilight of 10th century Ireland, when myth was law and magic was a power of nature, brilliantly brought to life: the legendary story of an evil stepmother opposed by a seventh child. A wicked woman, an evil curse, and a love that must triumph over impossible odds Set in the Celtic twilight of ancient Ireland, when myth was law and magic a force of nature, this is the tale of Sorcha, seventh child of a seventh son, the forbidding Lord Colum, and of her six beloved brothers. The keep at Sevenwaters is a remote, strange, quiet place, guarded by silent men who slip through the woodlands clothed in grey, and keep their weapons sharp. For there are invaders outside the forest; raiders from across the seas, Britons and Vikings bent on destruction. But now there is also an invader inside the keep: the Lady Oonagh, a sorceress as fair as day, but with a heart as black as night. Oonagh captivates Lord Colum with her sensual wiles; but she cannot enchant the wary Sorcha. Frustrated in her attempts to destroy the family, Oonagh binds the brothers with a spell that only Sorcha can lift. If she fails, they will die. Then the raiders come, and Sorcha is taken captive. Soon she will find herself torn between her duty to break the curse, and a growing, forbidden love for the warlord who is her captor. Like Marion Zimmer Bradley’s MISTS OF AVALON or Jean Auel’s CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR, this is first-rate historical fantasy that can have the widest possible appeal, taking in also the readership of historical fiction writers like Mary Stewart , Mary Renault and Anya Seton.
