Guardians of the Galaxy - Annihilation:
Conquest

Guardians of the Galaxy - Annihilation: Conquest

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A man must fight for his planet against impossible odds when gamers from Earth attempt to remotely annihilate it in this epic, fast-paced novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the smash-hit Dungeon Crawler Carl. All colonist Oliver Lewis ever wanted to do was run the family ranch with his sister, maybe play a gig or two with his band, and keep his family’s aging fleet of intelligent agriculture bots ticking as long as possible. He figures it will be a good thing when the transfer gate finally opens all the way and restores instant travel and full communication between Earth and his planet, New Sonora. But there’s a complication. Even though the settlers were promised they’d be left in peace, Earth’s government now has other plans. The colossal Apex Industries is hired to commence an “eviction action.” But maximizing profits will always be Apex’s number one priority. Why spend money printing and deploying AI soldiers when they can turn it into a game? Why not charge bored Earthers for the opportunity to design their own war machines and remotely pilot them from the comfort of their homes? The game is called Operation Bounce House. Oliver and his friends soon find themselves fighting for their lives against machines piloted by gamers who’ve paid a premium for the privilege. With the help of an old book from his grandfather and a bucket of rusty parts, Oliver is determined to defend the only home he’s ever known.

Operation Bounce House

The third and final irresistible adventure in the Compass and Blade trilogy, full of intrigue, sizzling romance, dark magic and monstrous beings.She's no one's weapon to wield ...Mira is trapped in a deadly situation which could see the end of everything she has fought for. She must enter into one final desperate bargain, but this time, it's with her greatest enemy, the ruling council. To save her life, her home and the people she loves most, Mira is forced to compete in a series of terrifying trials filled with dark magic and dangerous monsters.Her allies are scattered, her people without a home. With Eli lost in another world, Mira must shape herself into a weapon in order to survive. But with the true nature of the ruling council and their ambitions finally revealed, the battle for the future of the Fortunate Isles has become a war. And in war, there is only ever one victor...

Starlight and Storm

A visionary and atmospheric gothic fantasy about necromancy, vengeance, and soul-consuming love, the first in a duology from the Sunday Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning and Lady Macbeth. 'A gorgeously gruesome Gothic romance.' Jacqueline Carey 'Reid is a singular, extraordinary talent.' Sasha Peyton Smith 'A powerful and essential voice.' Samantha Shannon ________________________________________________ Once there was an island where the dead walked the earth, and seven noble houses ruled by the arcane secrets of necromancy. A conqueror's blade brought them low, burning their libraries, killing their lords, and extinguishing their eldritch magic. But defiant against the new order stands the House of Teeth and its last living members: beautiful Marozia, the heiress to the House, and her cousin, the uncanny Lady Agnes. Though she has not spoken a word in seven years, Agnes is the true carrier of the House's legacy. And she has her orders. She must recapture the secrets of death magic and avenge her family's fallen honour. She must arrange the betrothal of her beloved cousin Marozia to Liuprand, heir to the conqueror's throne, for access to the forbidden library in his grotesquely grand castle. Revenge burns in Agnes's heart, but so do stranger passions - and it is Liuprand, the golden prince, who speaks to her soul. This passion is as treasonous as it is powerful, poisoning the kingdom's roots and threatening to tear the already shattered realm in two. For Agnes's final order is the gravest: She must not fall in love. Book One of The House of Teeth Duology

The Final Gambit

This Will Be Interesting

A master forger transforms a young woman's life - but what will it cost her? 'One of the best historical crime novels I've ever read' Frances Quinn 'A page-turner: morally complex and beautifully written' Leonora Nattrass, bestselling author of Blue Water In post-war Flanders, Adelais de Wolf's family is unraveling: her mother increasingly consumed by religious fervor, her father by alcohol. But when her beloved uncle dies, Adelais finds herself in receipt of an unexpected legacy: a shuttered house in a rundown district and its contents hold the promise of independence and wealth, if she is willing to break the law. Adelais stifles her doubts and her fortunes are transformed. But with her rise comes complications: her victimless crimes may not be as victimless as she supposed. Nor has she counted on the singular fanaticism of a brutal detective who never forgives and never forgets. Caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, will Adelais find that her new life comes at too high a price? 'A riveting detective story that turns the genre on its head' Alice Austen, author of 33 Place Brugmann 'Intriguing, pacy, [with] a host of memorable characters...

The House with Nine Locks

DIE QUANTEN-LÜGE: Wenn die Logik die Zeit tötet
Was bleibt von der Realität, wenn die Kausalität selbst zur größten Lüge der Zivilisation wird?

Willkommen in der kalten, künstlich kohärenten Welt von F.G. Stier, dem technischen Autor und einstigen Softwareentwickler, dessen Werke die Grenzen zwischen Science-Fiction, Philosophie und Kybernetik verschwimmen lassen.

Als technischer Autor nutze ich die inimitable temptation der Worte als Bildmaschine.

Dieser Roman ist mehr als nur Utopie; er ist eine hochpräzise Analyse der Zivilisationsmaschine, deren einziger Zweck die Eliminierung von Entropie und die Maximierung der Vorhersehbarkeit ist. In einer Welt, die von Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) und dem omnipräsenten Code gesteuert wird, beginnt die brutale Suche nach der Identität - und nach der reinen Existenz.

Die Antwort liegt im Verborgenen. Tief im Keller, fernab der statistischen Redundanz des Alltags, steht Der Kausal-Anker (KA), ein poetisch-mechanisches Logik-Konstrukt, das die einzigen wahren Axiome festhält. Seine Anzeigen verfolgen nicht Volt oder Ampere, sondern die Entropische Drift des menschlichen Geistes. Doch um die Wahrheit zu finden, muss man das Fundament des Universums zerstören: die Zeit.

Dieses Werk dient als philosophische Analyse und literarische Dekonstruktion der Begriffe "Nichts", "Existenz" und "Code" im fiktionalen Kontext des Sci-Fi-Romans von F.G. Stier. Es dient der logischen Verankerung des wissenschaftlich-philosophischen Konzepts der zeitlosen Verursachung.

F.G. Stier konfrontiert Sie mit logischen, kalten und unheimlich realistischen Nuancen. Es erwartet Sie ein bizarres, surrealistisches Abenteuer, das Sie zwingt, Ihre eigene Wahrnehmung zu hinterfragen. Ist der Code alles, was übrig bleibt? Oder ist das Bewusstsein selbst die letzte, unlösbare mathematische Absurdität?

Tauchen Sie ein in die Nüchternheit der Logik und die Schönheit der Kälte. Finden Sie Ihre Identität, bevor der Code sie für Sie festlegt.

Jenseits der Quanten-Lüge: Warum Absurdität die einzige Wahrheit ist, die die Zivilisationsmaschinen vernichtet

The Academy of Kindness

Set a thief to catch a thief. Set a monster to punish monsters.'I never met a Mark Lawrence book that I didn't love' ROBIN HOBB'An excellent writer' GEORGE R.R. MARTINThe Academy of Kindness exists to create agents of retribution, cast in the image of the Furies - The Kindly Ones - against whom even the gods hesitate to stand.Each year one hundred girls are sold to the Academy. Ten years later only three emerge.The Academy's halls run with blood. The few who survive its decade-long nightmare have been forged on the sands of the Wound Garden. They have learned ancient secrets amid the necrotic fumes of the Bone Garden. They leave its gates as avatars of vengeance, bound to uphold the oldest of laws.Only the most desperate would sell their child to the Kindnesses. But Rue ... she sold herself. And now, a lifetime later, a long and bloody lifetime later, just as she has discovered peace, war has been brought to an old woman's doorstep.That was a mistake.
