Charlotta se pokouší nalézt stopy tajného hackerského kolektivu Erudito, který by asasínům mohl pomoci zmařit plány templářů. Tajemství se však ukrývá hluboko ve vzpomínkách jejích předchůdců – Inků! A ti žili v zatraceně nebezpečném světě...
Bratrstvo má problémy. Dlouhý souboj s Templáři vyčerpal veškeré jejich zdroje a teď se zoufale snaží udržet si pozici ve světě, který se stále mění. Mohlo by být pro ně řešením spojit své síly s tajemnou organizací… pokud se jim podaří překonat nepřekonatelné rozdíly. A pokud se hrdince podaří přežít další cestu do minulosti.
Das Blut der jungen Charlotte de la Cruz birgt ein Geheimnis in sich, denn einer ihrer Vorfahren lebte zu der Zeit, als die Hexenprozesse von Salem stattfanden: Tom Stoddard, ein Assassine, der dunkle Machenschaften bezeugen kann, deren Auswirkungen sich bis auf den heutigen Tag erstrecken. Für die Bruderschaft der Assassinen wird Charlotte damit eine wertvolle Verbündete, denn mit der geraubten Animus-Technologie sind sie in der Lage, auf die Erinnerungen ihrer Vorfahren zuzugreifen und die Geschichte umzuschreiben. Doch die Templer, die Erzfeinde der Assassinen, wollen das um jeden Preis verhindern. Nach sechs Videogames und diversen Ablegern mit männlichem Protagonisten setzen die beiden Autoren Anthony Del Col und Conor McCreery (»Kill Shakespeare«, »Sherlock Holmes vs. Harry Houdini«) erstmals allein auf eine weibliche Protagonistin. Für die künstlerische Umsetzung des bildgewaltigen Ubisoft-Dauerbrenners, der seit 2006 fast jährlich mit einem neuen Spiel glänzt, sorgt der Marvel- und DC-Comics-Zeichner Neil Edwards (»Doctor Who«, »Fantastic Four«, »Superman«, »Justice League United«, »Dark Avengers«).

"Any reader of science fiction or viewer of Star Trek will be awake to the dream that there may be life elsewhere in our universe that isn't like life here on Earth. Maybe, like E.T., it has new letters in its genetic alphabet! Maybe it's made of silicon! Maybe it gets around on wheels! Or maybe it doesn't. In The Equations of Life, biologist Charles Cockell makes the surprising argument that the Universe constrains life, making its evolutionary outcomes quite predictable--in short, if we were to find, on some distant planet, something very much like a ladybug eating something very much like an aphid that had itself just been feeding on the sap of something very much like a flower, we shouldn't at all be surprised. Considering the vast pantheon of creatures that have existed on Earth, from pterodactyls to sloths, it is tempting to think that the possibilities for life are limitless, and that a ladybug is a marvelous oddity. But as Cockell reveals, the forms and shapes of life are guided by a limited sets of rules. There is just a narrow set of mathematical solutions to the challenges of existence. Any natural environment usually has multiple challenges to survival in it, each associated to a physical equation."--Publisher information
The puzzles of life astound and confuse us like no other mystery. But in this revolutionary new book, Charles Cockell reveals how nature is far more understandable and predictable than we think. Refining Darwin's theory of natural selection, Cockell puts forward a remarkable and elegant account of why evolution has taken the paths it has. From animals to atoms, he shows that it is not biology, but physics, that is the true touchstone for understanding life in all its extraordinary forms." -- Back of book
