Asha Grant è approdata su Kerenza per sfuggire al suo passato. Peccato che questo l'abbia appena raggiunta. La ragazza è sopravvissuta all'assalto della BeiTech e da quel momento collabora in incognito con i pochi, disperati, coraggiosi membri della resistenza mentre, nel frattempo, si domanda cosa fare del segreto che tiene nascosto. L'ultima cosa che immaginava era di doversi preoccupare del suo ex, Rhys Lindstrom, appena sbarcato sul pianeta e più bello che mai nella sua uniforme BeiTech nuova fiammante. Chi può dirle con certezza se il ragazzo sarà per lei una via d'uscita o la garanzia che non se ne andrà mai viva da quel sasso congelato? Asha non è l'unica nei guai: la banda di sopravvissuti guidati da sua cugina Kady sta tornando su Kerenza, ma non ha abbastanza ossigeno per il viaggio. Oltretutto dietro l'angolo potrebbe anche esserci il rischio di un ammutinamento, ma non saranno certo queste inezie a fermare il Gruppo Illuminae. Purtroppo il tempo non è dalla loro parte. La BeiTech ha pianificato lo sterminio di tutti i civili su Kerenza ed è a un passo dal realizzarlo: soltanto un miracolo può salvarli. E i miracoli, lo sanno tutti, sono soltanto probabilità statistiche... o no?

Quel giorno, quando si è svegliata, Kady pensava che rompere con Ezra sarebbe stata la cosa più difficile da affrontare. Poche ore dopo il suo pianeta è stato invaso. Anno 2575: il cielo di Kerenza, un pianeta poco più grande di un granello di sabbia coperto di ghiaccio e sperduto nell'universo, si oscura all'improvviso. Tra le esplosioni e le urla degli abitanti terrorizzati, una squadra d'assalto della... una potente corporation interstellare, dà inizio all'invasione. Ed Ezra e Kady, che si rivolgono a malapena la parola, sono costretti a cercare insieme una via di fuga. Alcuni giorni dopo, però, un mortale... mutante inizia a diffondersi a bordo di una delle navi sulle quali si trovano i due ragazzi e gli altri superstiti. Come se non bastasse, AIDAN, l'intelligenza artificiale che dovrebbe... pare essersi trasformato nel nemico. E nessuno dei militari incaricati delle operazioni di salvataggio sembra intenzionato a spiegare ciò che sta accadendo. Quando Kady riesce ad accedere a... strettamente riservate, le è subito chiaro che l'unica persona che può aiutarla è anche l'unica con la quale pensava non avrebbe più avuto nulla a che fare.

In a land where three suns almost never set, a fledgling killer joins a school of assassins, seeking vengeance against the powers who destroyed her family. Daughter of an executed traitor, Mia Corvere is barely able to escape her father’s failed rebellion with her life. Alone and friendless, she hides in a city built from the bones of a dead god, hunted by the Senate and her father’s former comrades. But her gift for speaking with the shadows leads her to the door of a retired killer, and a future she never imagined. Now, Mia is apprenticed to the deadliest flock of assassins in the entire Republic—the Red Church. If she bests her fellow students in contests of steel, poison and the subtle arts, she’ll be inducted among the Blades of the Lady of Blessed Murder, and one step closer to the vengeance she desires. But a killer is loose within the Church’s halls, the bloody secrets of Mia’s past return to haunt her, and a plot to bring down the entire congregation is unfolding in the shadows she so loves. Will she even survive to initiation, let alone have her revenge?

First, the bad news: an ancient evil--you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal--is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They've just got to take care of a few small distractions first. Like the clan of gremps who'd like to rearrange their favorite faces. And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who'll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri. Then there's Kal's long-lost sister, who's not exactly happy to see her baby brother, and has a Syldrathi army at her back. With half the known galaxy on their tails, Squad 312 has never felt so wanted. When they learn the Hadfield has been found, it's time to come out of hiding. Two centuries ago, the colony ship vanished, leaving Auri as its sole survivor. Now, its black box might be what saves them. But time is short, and if Auri can't learn to master her powers as a Trigger, the squad and all their admirers are going to be deader than the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis IV. Shocking revelations, bank heists, mysterious gifts, inappropriately tight bodysuits, and an epic firefight will determine the fate of the Aurora Legion's most unforgettable heroes--and maybe the rest of the galaxy as well.

Prepare for the thrilling finale in the epic, best-selling Aurora Cycle series about a band of unlikely heroes who just might be the galaxy's last hope for survival. Is this the end? What happens when you ask a bunch of losers, discipline cases, and misfits to save the galaxy from an ancient evil? The ancient evil wins, of course. Wait. . . . Not. So. Fast. When we last saw Squad 312, they working together seamlessly (aka, freaking out) as an intergalactic battle raged and an ancient superweapon threatened to obliterate Earth. Everything went horribly wrong, naturally. But as it turns out, not all endings are endings, and the team has one last chance to rewrite theirs. Maybe two. It's complicated. Cue Zila, Fin, and Scarlett (and MAGELLAN!): making friends, making enemies, and making history? Sure, no problem Cue Tyler, Kal, and Auri: uniting with two of the galaxy’s most hated villains? Um, okay. That, too. Actually saving the galaxy, though? Now that will take a miracle.

From the bestselling co-author of the Illuminae Files and Aurora Rising comes the second installment in the LIFEL1K3 trilogy--hailed by Marie Lu as "a breathless, action-packed exploration of what humanity really means." In the wake of a climactic battle, two former best friends suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the same quest. Eve is torn between the memories of the girl she was and the synthetic she's discovered herself to be. Together with her lifelike "siblings," Eve sets out to find the real Ana Monrova, whose DNA is the key to building an army of lifelikes. Meanwhile, Eve's former best friend, Lemon Fresh, is coming to terms with a power that she has long denied--and that others want to harness as a weapon. When she meets a strange boy named Grimm, he offers to lead her to an enclave of other abnorms like herself. There, Lemon quickly finds a sense of belonging--and perhaps even love--among the other genetic deviates. But all is not what it seems, and with enemies and friends, heroes and villains wearing interchangeable faces, Lemon, too, will join the race to locate Ana Monrova before Eve can get to her.

Best friends have become enemies. Lovers have become strangers. And deciding whose side you're on could be the difference between life and death. For Eve and Lemon, discovering the truth about themselves--and each other--was too much for their friendship to take. But with the country on the brink of a new world war--this time between the BioMaas swarm at CityHive and Daedalus's army at Megopolis, loyalties will be pushed to the brink, unlikely alliances will form and with them, betrayals. But the threat doesn't stop there, because the lifelikes are determined to access the program that will set every robot free, a task requiring both Eve and Ana, the girl she was created to replace. In the end, violent clashes and heartbreaking choices reveal the true heroes . . . and they may not be who you think they are

From the coauthor of the New York Times bestselling Illuminae Files comes the first book in a new series that's part Romeo and Juliet, part Terminator, and all adrenaline. On an island junkyard beneath a sky that glows with radiation, a deadly secret lies buried in the scrap. Seventeen-year-old Eve isn't looking for trouble--she's too busy looking over her shoulder. The robot gladiator she spent months building has been reduced to a smoking wreck, she's on the local gangster's wanted list, and the only thing keeping her grandpa alive is the money she just lost to the bookies. Worst of all, she's discovered she can somehow destroy machines with the power of her mind, and a bunch of puritanical fanatics are building a coffin her size because of it. If she's ever had a worse day, Eve can't remember it. The problem is, Eve has had a worse day--one that lingers in her nightmares and the cybernetic implant where her memories used to be. Her discovery of a handsome android named Ezekiel--called a "Lifelike" because they resemble humans--will bring her world crashing down and make her question whether her entire life is a lie. With her best friend Lemon Fresh and her robotic sidekick Cricket in tow, Eve will trek across deserts of glass, battle unkillable bots, and infiltrate towering megacities to save the ones she loves...and learn the truth about the bloody secrets of her past.

Die Vorgeschichte der epischen neuen Fantasy-Reihe von Bestsellerautor JAY KRISTOFF spielt im feudalen Japan und entführt die Leser in eine Steampunk-Welt am Rande des Untergangs.

Diese erzählt von Miho, einem Mädchen mit der Fähigkeit, mit Tieren zu sprechen, und ihrer Liebe zu einem jungen Raffineriearbeiter. Zudem malt die Geschichte ein eindrucksvolles Bild der sterbenden Stadt Kigen, die den Lesern bereits aus der Hauptreihe bekannt ist.
