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?

Die Helden von Sir Arthur Conan Doyle und H.P. Lovecraft auf Mörderjagd§Einer der schönsten und interessantesten Sherlock-Holmes-Bände: Die surreale, makabere Welt des H.P. Lovecraft bricht mit gewaltiger Macht in das rationale, logische Universum des größten Detektivs aller Zeiten.

Wenn Dinge geschehen, deren Urspung außerhalb der Realität zu liegen scheint? Dieser Frage widmen sich 20 der Topautoren des Genres. 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.

Before the Guardians of the Galaxy gathered, before Firefly flew, there was FUSION. The Tsunami is a cargo ship. Things get put into her, taken across space, and taken out. There's nothing unusual about that. The crew, now that's another matter. Sure, Captain Indio Tremaine is human, and so is her first mate, the handsome and indestructible gambler Dow Cook. But the rest of the crew are genetic constructs of fur, wings, and claws. Tan, the engineer, is one wily weasel, and that's no metaphor. Together, they are rated "high-risk indy," suited to take on the least likely, most dangerous deliveries. They're the team you want when you have cargo to be delivered and you need things to go right... or when they've already gone wrong. Do things go wrong? This wouldn't be much of a book if everything went smoothly, now would it? This collection features four science fiction tales with a very human sensibility, even if the characters are not strictly human.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER KNIGHT OF RECKONING The Emperor’s ruthless Order 66 has all but exterminated the Jedi.

It’s a risky move under any circumstances, but Jax and his trusted crew aboard the Far Ranger, including the irrepressible droid I-Five, are prepared to pit their combat skills and their vessel’s firepower against all Imperial threats—except the one Jax fears most. Reports have raced across the galaxy that the dark lord of the Sith has fallen in a duel to the death with a Rebel freedom fighter. But Jax discovers the chilling truth when he reaches out with the Force . . . only to touch the dark, unmistakable, and malignantly alive presence that is Darth Vader. And Jax knows that Vader will stop at nothing until the last Jedi has fallen.
