Michael Reaves Knihy

Po letech čekání ve stínech zahajuje sithský lord Darth Sidious první fázi svého velkého plánu srazit Republiku na kolena. Významnou roli mají v jeho intrikách sehrát Neimoidiané z Obchodní federace. Avšak jeden z jeho nespolehlivých neimoidianských spojenců zmizí a Sidious ani nepotřebuje své Sílou vybroušené schopnosti, aby vytušil zradu. Poručí svému učedníkovi Darthu Maulovi, aby zrádce neprodleně dopadl a zajistil holokron, jenž v sobě skrývá tajemství, které může plán sithského lorda prozradit. Maul však přichází pozdě. Holokron a s ním i tajemství už má v rukou obchodník s informacemi Lorn Pavan, který se tak rázem ocitá na prvním místě seznamu Maulových cílů. Na útěku před Maulem se Lorn ve spletitých uličkách a stokách Coruscantu, hlavního světa Republiky, setkává s Darshou Assant, padawankou Jedi. Budoucnost celé Republiky nyní závisí na Darshe a Lornovi. Ale jak by mohli nezkušená Jedi a obyčejný muž, který nevládne Silou, doufat, že uniknou jednomu z nejnebezpečnějších lovců v celé galaxii?

In dieser Anthologie gibt es brandneue Geschichten von Neil Gaiman, Steve Perry, Brian Stableford, Poppy Z. Brite und vielen anderen mehr.

When Newbery Medal winner Neil Gaiman and Emmy Award winner Michael Reaves teamed up, they created the bestselling YA novel InterWorld . InterWorld tells the story of Joey Harker, a very average kid who discovers that his world is only one of a trillion alternate earths. Some of these earths are ruled by magic. Some are ruled by science. All are at war. Joey teams up with alternate versions of himself from an array of these worlds. Together, the army of Joeys must battle evil magicians Lord Dogknife and Lady Indigo to keep the balance of power between all the earths stable. Teens—and tweens and adults—who obsessively read the His Dark Materials and Harry Potter series will be riveted by InterWorld and its sequel, The Silver Dream .

After mastering the ability to walk between dimensions, sixteen-year-old Joey Harker and his fellow InterWorld freedom fighters embark on a mission to maintain peace between the rival powers of magic and science who seek to control all worlds.
