And then suddenly Skye is invited to join an exclusive gang known as the Secret Runners of New York. But this is no ordinary clique - they have access to an underground portal that can transport them into the future. And what Skye discovers in the future is horrifying.
As society crumbles, Skye and Red race to figure out how to use their knowledge to survive the impending annihilation, they soon discover that the chaotic end of the world is the perfect time for revenge...
Victor and Eli started out as college roommates―brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who discover that, under the right conditions, someone can develop extraordinary abilities – become ExtraOrdinary.
Vicious
Ten years after they turned on each other, Victor has escaped from prison and wants revenge on the man who put him there. Eli is hunting down and killing every EO he can find, convinced that they are a crime against God. All except his sidekick, a woman whose power is persuasion and whom he cannot defy. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the arch-nemeses have set a course for revenge.
Vengeful
Marcella Riggins needs no one. Flush from her brush with death, she’s finally gained the control she’s always sought―and will use her newfound power to bring the city of Merit to its knees. She’ll do whatever it takes, collecting her own sidekicks, and leveraging the two most infamous EOs, Victor Vale and Eli Ever, against each other once more. With Marcella’s rise, new enmities create opportunity―and the stage of Merit City will once again be set for a final, terrible reckoning.
'One of the greatest achievements in comedy. A work of staggering
genius' - David Walliams An international phenomenon and
pop-culture classic, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has been
a radio show, TV series, novel, stage play, comic book and film.
Following the galactic (mis)adventures of Arthur Dent, Hitchhiker's
in its various incarnations has captured the imaginations of
curious minds around the world . . . It's an ordinary Thursday
lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The
Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace
express route, and his best friend has just announced that he's an
alien. At this moment, they're hurtling through space with nothing
but their towels and an innocuous-looking book inscribed, in large
friendly letters, with the words: DON'T PANIC. The weekend has only
just begun . . . With exclusive bonus material from the Douglas
Adams archives, and an introduction by former Doctor Who
showrunner, Russell T Davies. The intergalactic adventures of
Arthur Dent begin in the first volume of the 'trilogy of five',
Douglas Adams' comedy sci-fi classic The Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy.
An original novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!
2559. It has been a year since the rogue artificial intelligence Cortana seized control of the Domain, an otherworldly dimension housing a vast information network. With an array of Forerunner weapons at her disposal, Cortana set out to enforce an authoritarian peace on the civilizations of the galaxy. But as the United Nations Space Command flagship Infinity prepares to strike against Cortana at Zeta Halo, another plan has also been set in motion.
An ancient access point hidden on a seemingly insignificant human colony has become the focus of a parallel effort to claim the Domain and its immeasurable capabilities. The UNSC, however, needs a key: a living, forsaken product of an old war. As a new generation of heroes rise to meet this challenge, and Cortana's pursuit of control reaches a desperate and sudden crescendo, a cunning, ruthless warrior emerges from the shadows of the Banished, who has vowed to fill the new power vacuum by any means necessary…
Being kidnapped by aliens is one thing. Being kidnapped by aliens and
sent to a prison planet is something infinitely worse. Here in Haven’s
prison system, I’m stranded among strangers, enemies, and the most
ruthless criminals in the galaxy. There’s no safety for a human woman
here, especially not one branded as a murderer. I’m doomed to a fate
worse than death. Then -- he decides I should be his. His name’s
Jutari. He’s seven feet tall, blue, and horned. He’s an assassin and
one of the most dangerous prisoners here. He’s like no one I’ve ever
met before…and he might be my only chance. This story stands completely
alone and is only marginally connected to the Ice Planet Barbarians
series. You do not need to read those books in order to follow this one.
A thrilling anthology of short stories from the Sunday Times
bestselling author of the Scholomance Trilogy and Uprooted, spanning
each of her realms and including a sneak peak into the world of her
next series.
From the gothic, magical halls of the Scholomance trilogy, through the
realms next door to Spinning Silver and Uprooted, and the dragon-filled
Temeraire series, this stunning collection takes us from fairy tale to
fantasy, myth to history, and mystery to science fiction as we travel
through Naomi Novik’s most beloved stories. Here, among many others, we
encounter:
- A mushroom witch who learns that sometimes the worst thing in the
Scholomance can be your roommate.
- The start of the Dragon Corps in ancient Rome, after Mark Antony
hatches a dragon’s egg and bonds with the hatchling.
- A young bride in the middle ages who finds herself gambling with
Death, for the highest of stakes.
- A delightful reimagining of Pride & Prejudice, in which
Elizabeth Bennet captains a Longwing dragon.
- The first glimpse at the world of Abandon, the setting of Novik’s
upcoming epic fantasy series―a deserted continent populated only by
silent and enigmatic architectural mysteries.
Though the stories are vastly different, there is a unifying theme:
wrestling with destiny, and the lengths some will go to find their own
and fulfill its promise.
THERE'S NO PLANET LIKE HOME
After an 'incident' one wet Friday night where he was found walking
naked through the streets of Cambridge, Professor Andrew Martin is not
feeling quite himself. Food sickens him. Clothes confound him. Even his
loving wife and teenage son are repulsive to him. He feels lost amongst
an alien species and hates everyone on the planet. Everyone, that is,
except Newton, (and he's a dog).
Who is he really? And what could make someone change their mind about
the human race?
When the clone pods were abandoned on the ice planet, two of them
opened before the others. Corvak, a gladiator and a splice, ran into
the snows. He carried Aidy, a confused human woman. They're on the run,
determined not to get caught.
Aidy has no idea what's going on or why she's been dumped in the icy
mountains. Corvak, however, is convinced this is all one big gladiator
game, and one he's determined to win. To do that, they'll have to avoid
all the others and survive by any means possible.
Why do they need this parasite anyhow...and why do their chests keep
humming?
Healer Anja regularly drinks poison. Not to die, but to save--seeking cures for those everyone else has given up on.
