Dogs of War

Tchaikovsky A: Dogs of War

From the Arthur C. Clarke award winner, Adrian Tchaikovsky, comes the third instalment of the DOGS OF WAR science fiction series, a future where genetically engineered "Bioforms" have inherited not the Earth, but the Solar System. The end of the world has been and gone. There was no one great natural disaster, no all-consuming world war, no catastrophic pandemic. Only scores of storms, droughts, and selfish regional conflicts. Humanity was not granted a heroic end. Instead, it bled to death from a thousand cuts. But where Earth fell apart, Mars pulled together. Engineered men and beasts, aided by Bees - an outlawed distributed intelligence - survived through co-operation, because there was simply no alternative. Fast forward to today. A signal - 'For the sake of what once was. We beg you. Help.' - reaches Mars. How could they refuse? A consortium of Martian work crews gather the resources for a mission: a triumphal return to the blue-green world of their ancestors. And now here they are - three hundred million kilometres from home. And it has all already gone horribly wrong.

Bee Speaker

The end of the world has been and gone. There was no one great natural disaster, no all-consuming world war, no catastrophic pandemic. Rather scores of storms, droughts and floods; dozens of vicious, selfish regional conflicts that only destroyed what could no longer be rebuilt. No single finishing stroke for Earth's great global human society, but you can still bleed to death from a thousand cuts. The Red Planet fared better. Where Earth fell apart, Mars pulled together. Engineered men and beasts, aided by Bees, an outlawed distributed intelligence, survived through co-operation, because there was simply no alternative. Fast forward to the present day. A signal ? "For the sake of what once was. We beg you. Help." ? reaches Mars. How could they not help? A consortium of Martian work crews gather the resources for a mission: a triumphal return to the blue-green world of their ancestors. And now here they are ? three hundred million kilometres from home. And it has all already gone horribly wrong.

From the Arthur C. Clarke award winner, Adrian Tchaikovsky, comes the third instalment of the DOGS OF WAR science fiction series, a future where genetically engineered "Bioforms" have inherited not the Earth, but the Solar System.

Halo

"2552. Having barely escaped the final battle for Reach against the vast alien alliance known as the Covenant, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn, including Spartan John-117--the Master Chief--and his AI companion Cortana, is forced to make a desperate escape into slipspace. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. In this far-flung corner of the universe floats a magnificently massive, artificial ringworld. The crew's only hope of survival is to crash-land on its surface and take the battle opposing the Covenant to the ground"--Back cover.

The bestselling adaptation of the iconic video game Halo: Combat Evolved featuring the Master Chief—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series! 2552. Having barely escaped the final battle for Reach against the vast alien alliance known as the Covenant, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn, including Spartan John-117—the Master Chief—and his AI companion Cortana, is forced to make a desperate escape into slipspace. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. In this far-flung corner of the universe floats a magnificently massive, artificial ringworld. The crew’s only hope of survival is to crash-land on its surface and take the battle opposing the Covenant to the ground. But they soon discover that this enigmatic ringworld is much more than it seems. Built one hundred thousand years ago by a long-lost civilization known as the Forerunners, this “Halo” is worshipped by the Covenant—a sacred artifact they hope will complete their religious quest for supposed transcendence, and they will stop at nothing to control it. Engaging in fierce combat, Master Chief and Cortana will go deep into the Halo construct and uncover its dark secret and true purpose—even as a monstrous and far more vicious enemy than the Covenant emerges to threaten all sentient life on Halo and the galaxy beyond…

Dune: House Harkonnen Vol. 2

A woman's desperate flight from an Apache raid unfolds into a sweeping tale of the Mexico-US border wars. Now I Surrender is the epic, darkly funny and action-packed story of the legendary Apache warrior Geronimo and how the American West was 'won'. 'Álvaro Enrigue's one of the best we have, and he's not done pushing against conventions' NEW YORK TIMES 'An impassioned anti-imperialist lament, a gripping alt-western' TLS In the contested borderlands between Mexico and the United States, a Mexican woman flees into the desert after a devastating raid on her dead husband's ranch. Meanwhile, a lieutenant colonel of the fledgling Republic, sent in pursuit of cattle rustlers, will soon discover he's on the trail of a more dramatic abduction. Decades later, with political ambitions on the line, the American and Mexican militaries try to manoeuvre Geronimo, the most legendary of Apache warriors, into surrender. And in our own day, a family travels through the region in search of a truer version of the past. Now I Surrender is Álvaro Enrigue's most expansive and impassioned novel yet. Part epic, part alt-Western, it weaves past and present, myth and history, into a searing elegy for a way of life that was an incarnation of true liberty - that still sparks in us the thrill of almost unimaginable freedom. Translated by Natasha Wimmer 'Enrigue is an erudite, charismatic raconteur' THE ATLANTIC 'A moving and complex love letter to Mexico... a slice of bloody American history with a timely edge' LOS ANGELES TIMES

Now I Surrender

The Great War was supposed to be the war to end all wars-and maybe it would have been, had an even greater, otherworldly foe not arisen to extinguish the conflict. Overnight, as guns blazed away in France and Flanders, village after village in the quiet British countryside were swallowed by the Forest. And within the Forest lurk the Huldu-an ancient fae race, monstrous in their inhumanity, who have decided that mankind's ascendency over the world can endure no longer. Enter Duncan Silver. Scarred by the war, fueled by a rage deeper than the trenches in which he once fought, Duncan is determined to show the Huldu that the world is not theirs for the taking. Armed with a cut-down trench gun filled with iron shot and a deadly iron knife, Duncan will stop at nothing to return the children the Huldu have stolen from the arms of their families. No matter how many Huldu he may have to slaughter along the way. But when he is hired by a mother to return her four-year-old daughter, Miriam-taken by the Huldu six months past and replaced with a Changeling-all hell breaks loose. Miriam is a pawn in a much bigger game for dominance than Duncan ever expected, and several long-buried secrets from his past are about to be violently resurrected.

Hakan Veil is back, and he's pissed off. He's an Overrider by trade - gene-tweaked to cryo-sleep shipboard across interplanetary space, but wake up running hot and save the day if ever things go wrong: take out the pirate assault team before they can board, put down the mutiny before it can take hold, save the ship from whatever ails it - meteor strike, hull breach, crew crisis, reactor failure, fuel or atmosphere leak - and bring the cargo safely home. Fast-thinking, no need for sleep, running on stored energy that lets him work hard and fast until the situation is resolved, he's the ultimate First Responder, hardwired to fix the problem, whatever and wherever it is. At the other end of the cycle - getting ready to hibernate for a solid few months - it's a different story. Slower, eating more, not quite so crisp. Because by then the emergency is supposed to be over. Exiled by his employers to Mars for failing to execute a captive, Veil found himself thrust into the violent chaos arising from the Earth Oversight audit. He took out the powerful and corrupt with extreme prejudice, uncovered a major political conspiracy, defeated a cell of hardened undercover spec ops provocateurs. In the end, he brought a rough and ready kind of stability to the faction-riven Red Planet. You could say he's owed some much needed downtime. Only now there's a new f*cking emergency. And it's only just getting up to speed. The son of a Martian corporate aristo has gone missing under mysterious circumstances; a charismatic tech-messiah believed long dead appears to be back in business at the head of his cult; and high above the Martian surface, military grade orbital platforms are falling out of the sky like storm-struck birds. Once again, Hakan Veil finds himself in the midst of rising chaos, and once again it looks like he's the only one equipped to deal with the crisis. And he's in no mood for any of it.

The explosive, dark WWI novel for horror and fantasy readers alike

HALO: First Strike

In this steamy age-gap, forbidden-love, grumpy/sunshine, tattooed cowboy romance for fans of Lyla Sage, Bailey Hanna, and Elsie Silver, a woman flees her life in L.A. for a tiny Montana cabin, not expecting she’ll be forced to share such a small space with the one man she definitely should not be fantasizing about: the gruff, former bull rider who is her adopted uncle. Now a DELUXE LIMITED EDITION paperback with stenciled edges, interior covers, and full color character art! I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO FEEL THIS WAY . . . I never wanted to disappear more than while I was around my family. Briar Lane, the girl useful for one thing: my last name. A business handshake and pawn to be traded. My father’s chess piece shuffled between empires. That was my life back in L.A., but all it took was finding the dirty secret stuffed in a jacket pocket, and my entire world unraveled. I fled to the one place I knew they could never find me—Crimson Ridge. Arriving in this harsh, snowy world, I thought I’d be starting over on my own, but it turns out the abandoned mountain cabin I inherited isn’t what it seems. This mountain hides secrets. An ex-pro bull rider who consumes this space, and now my every thought . . . Stôrmand Lane—my father’s adopted brother. We should never have found ourselves isolated out here in the mountains together, each trying to outrun our pasts. All it took was one misunderstanding, one line almost crossed. A girl like me isn’t supposed to know what those tattooed hands feel like, and I’m certainly not meant to feel butterflies anytime those piercing blue eyes land on mine. He might be my every fantasy, a cowboy I constantly dream about, but he’s a temptation I have to ignore. A man I absolutely cannot find myself attracted to. Long, dark nights in this tiny cabin . . . there’s no excuse to step into forbidden territory. Or can they?

The Incandescent

Carcosa

Ein Raumschiff strandet auf einem fernen Planeten, buchstäblich am Ende des Universums. Die kleine Gruppe von Frauen und Männern findet sich in einer lebensfeindlichen Einöde wieder und muss versuchen, auch nur die ersten Tage gemeinsam zu überstehen. Als die Männer stattdessen hochfliegende Pläne schmieden, wie diese Welt zu 'kolonisieren' sei, kommt es zur Katastrophe ... 
Mit ihrem erstmals 1976 erschienenen Roman "Wir, die wir sehr bald ..." verfasste Joanna Russ die definitive Antithese zu den Werken ihrer männlichen Kollegen: Hier tragen keine strahlenden Helden die Zivilisation in die Weiten des Weltraums hinaus. Hier stellt sich eine Frau den existenziellen Fragen des Daseins. Bis zur letzten Konsequenz. // Der abschließende Band unserer Russ-Werkausgabe enthält außerdem zwei längere Erzählungen, eine Folge repräsentativer Buchkritiken und einen Essay aus der dritten Schaffensphase der Autorin.
