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?
'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.

'Fantasy as it ought to be written' George R.R. Martin The second
volume in Robin Hobb's internationally bestselling Farseer Trilogy.
Honesty is the bedrock for any relationship. But how can Fitz -
royal bastard, trainee assassin, holder of secrets crucial to the
security of the kingdom - bare his soul to his beloved Molly?
Danger lies all around him - from the raiders savaging the coastal
towns, and from within the court. The king has been struck down by
a mystery illness and his eldest son, Verity, is bound up in the
defence of the realm. When Verity leaves the court in search of the
mythical Elderlings, Fitz finds himself friendless apart from his
wolf, Nighteyes, and the king's strange, motley-clad fool, exposed
to Prince Regal's malign ambitions. He will be asked to sacrifice
everything - his heart, his hope, even his life - for the sake of
the realm.
Silicon Valley chiropractor Poppy Clayton is as calm, cool, and
adjusted as they come . . . or is she?
Known for her bad fashion sense, a love for all things natural,
and the inability to get a second date, Poppy is beginning to
wonder if she might be misaligned herself.
Poppy's route to self discovery will be an unnatural one
involving a plastic surgeon (of all people ), a condemned house in
Santa Cruz, and a wedding date from the dark side. It's enough to
send a girl and her gal pals running for their favorite spa

From a grand master of science fiction comes the long awaited final novel of one of the greatest series ever told. Completed just before his death, FORWARD THE FOUNDATION is a crowning achievement and stirring testament to the creative genius of Isaac Asimov.
As Hari Seldon struggles to perfect his revolutionary theory of psychohistory and ensure a place for humanity among the stars, the once-mighty Galactic Empire totters on the brink of apocalyptic collapse. Caught in the maelstrom are Seldon and all he holds dear, pawns in the struggle for dominance. Whoever can control Seldon will control psychohistory-and with it the future of the galaxy.
Among those seeking to turn psychohistory into the greatest weapon known to man are a populist political demagogue, the weak-willed Emperor Cleon I, and a ruthless militaristic general. In his last act of service to humankind, Hari Seldon must somehow save his life's work from their grasp as he searches for his true heirs-a search that begins with his own granddaughter and the dream of a new Foundation.
The pirating adventures continue in this second collection of short stories featuring the women of One Piece! A second collection of illustrated prose stories highlighting colorful female characters from the One Piece pantheon. Empress Boa learns a little bit more about love, Tashigi confronts an existential crisis (and some nasty backwater pirates!), Reiju recall’s her brother Sanji’s love of food, and baby Uta finds her voice. Also check out the bonus story in which Nami and Robin bond with a little seafaring self-care!
