World War Terminus devastated the Earth. Through its ruins, bounty
hunter Rick Deckard searches for the renegade replicants he is sent
to 'retire', while he dreams of owning a live animal - the ultimate
status symbol in a world all but bereft of natural life. The
opportunity of a lifetime: kill six Nexus-6 targets, for a huge
reward. But in Deckard's world things aren't that simple, and his
assignment turns into a nightmare kaleidoscope of subterfuge and
deceit - and the hunter becomes the hunted . . . Voted in a Locus
poll as one of the 100 pre-1990 SF Novels, Do Androids Dream of
Electric Sheep spawned two blockbuster movies. Philip K. Dick won
multiple awards for his works, examining human identity,
psychology, conspiracy and paranoia, challenging the idea of
objective truth in a manner that remains relevant today. 'A
masterclass in sci-fi wonderment' - Empire 'One of the most
original practitioners writing any kind of fiction' - The Sunday
Times Welcome to The Best Of The Masterworks: a selection of the
finest in science fiction
Two dead bodies and a Christmas stocking weaponised. A Postman
murdered delivering cards on Christmas morning. A Christmas tree
growing over a forgotten homicide. It's the most wonderful time of
the year, except for the victims of these shocking and often
elaborate murders. When there's magic in the air, sometimes even
the facts don't quite add up and the impossible can happen -- and
it's up to the detective's trained eye to unwrap the clues and put
together an explanation neatly tied up with a bow. Martin Edwards
compiles an anthology filled with tales of seasonal suspense where
the snow runs red, perfect to be shared between super-sleuths by
the fire on a cold winter's night.
Feared and hated for his sinister abilities, Wei Wuxian - the
grandmaster of demonic cultivation - was driven to his death when the
most powerful clans united to destroy him. Thirteen years later, Wei
Wuxian is reborn. Summoned by a young man who sacrificed his soul in a
forbidden ritual, Wei Wuxian is now bound to seek vengeance on the
stranger’s behalf or risk the destruction of his own soul. But when an
evil entity emerges, a familiar face from Wei Wuxian’s past suddenly
appears amidst the chaos - Lan Wangji, a powerful cultivator who will
help shine a light on the dark truths that surround them.
