In "Deathworld 3," our hero Jason dinAlt has uncovered the secret of the warlike planet of the Pyrrans, with its aggressive flora and fauna. However, his plans to transform Pyrrus into a peaceful world are doomed to fail due to the presence of thousands of belligerent Pyrrans, who cannot overcome their intense aversion to the native life. Jason devises a plan to take these unruly fighters to a new, harsh planet where they might have a better chance of survival and building a civilization. This new world, Prosperity, is even more savage than the Pyrrans, presenting its own challenges. Midway through the cunning campaign to tame the backward nomads of Prosperity, the Pyrrans abruptly return to their old planet upon receiving distress signals. Upon arrival, they find Pyrrus reduced to a smoking ruin. Back on Prosperity, Jason, who had remained behind, ultimately wins the battle through cleverness, but he finds himself trapped in a steel demon cage high above the marble town square.

Lo spettro del bioterrorismo. Le agenzie di controspionaggio dell’Occidente sono in “allarme arancio”, il massimo livello di allerta. Come sempre, Nick Stone è in prima linea. Insieme alla sua nuova collega Suzy viene inviato in Malesia per eliminare un biochimico di Al Qaeda che sta progettando una serie di attentati. Per il bersaglio non ci sono speranze: l’azione è rapida, brutale. Al ritorno, Nick spera di poter finalmente dedicare un po’ di tempo alla figlia adottiva Kelly, ormai quattordicenne. La ragazza, che a sette anni aveva assistito alla strage della propria famiglia ed era stata salvata da Nick, non è riuscita a superare l’orribile shock ed è caduta nel vortice della droga. Nick avverte tutta la propria impotenza, ma sembra l’unico in grado di aiutarla. Vorrebbe esserle più vicino, tuttavia la guerra al terrorismo non fa sconti a nessuno. Richiamato in missione, scopre che un pericolo mortale incombe su New York, Londra, Berlino, metropoli nel mirino di terroristi islamici giunti proprio dalla Malesia per diffondervi il virus di una peste polmonare, nome in codice Dark Winter, le cui spore hanno viaggiato con una partita di bottiglie di vino. Ancora una volta, l’ex agente del SAS è costretto a collaborare con i suoi vecchi superiori, non meno spietati del nemico.

Hitching rides is an unreliable mode of transport. In temperatures of over a hundred degrees, you’re lucky if a driver will open the door of his air-conditioned car long enough to let you slide in. That’s Jack Reacher’s conclusion. He’s adrift in the fearsome heat of a Texas summer, and he needs to keep moving through the wide open vastness, like a shark in the water. The last thing he’s worried about is exactly who picks him up. He never expected it to be somebody like Carmen. She’s alone, driving a Cadillac. She’s beautiful, young and rich. She has a little girl who is being watched by unseen observers. And a husband who is in jail. Who will beat her senseless when he comes out. If he doesn’t kill her first. Reacher is no stranger to trouble. And at Carmen’s remote ranch in Echo County there is plenty of it: lies and prejudice, hatred and murder. Reacher can never resist a lady in distress. Her family is hostile. The cops can’t be trusted. The lawyers won’t help. If Reacher can’t set things straight, who can?

Król powrócił. Przez lata Carl Denham zyskał reputację najlepszego twórcy filmów dokumentalnych i postanowił pójść o krok dalej. Wraz z ekipą filmową i aktorką Ann Darrow wyruszył ku mitycznej Wyspie Czaszek, kierowany tajemniczą mapą. To, co tam ujrzeli, przerosło ich najgorsze koszmary. Cały archipelag ogrodzono wielkim murem, mającym chronić świat śmiertelnych przed czymś strasznym. Przed bogiem-bestią. Przed królem Wyspy Czaszek. King Konga stworzył Merian C. Cooper, amerykański filmowiec, który położył podwaliny pod polskie lotnictwo wojenne. Choć Devos W. Lovelace napisał powieść na zlecenie Coopera, w kilku miejscach różni się ona od filmu. Niektóre sceny, jak ta z wielkimi insektami, pojawiły się dopiero w filmie z 2005 roku w reżyserii Petera Jacksona. Historia opowiedziana w tej książce najbliższa jest oryginalnej wizji króla małp.

Un dicembre di fuoco per Nick Stone che, sospeso dal servizio attivo, ha accettato un incarico fuori dell'intelligence: rapire Valentin Lebed, un pezzo grosso della mafia cecena, che si trova in Finlandia. L'operazione va dannatamente storta, e Nick, che ha sempre un disperato bisogno di soldi, libera il suo prigioniero dietro la promessa di centomila dollari. Tornato a Londra e incassato il compenso, l'ex SAS riceve da Liv, una bella e intelligente finlandese che sarà il suo contatto, l'offerta di un lavoro per conto di Valentin: far entrare Tom, abilissimo hacker ma per il resto tutt'altro che brillante, in una casa in Finlandia per rubare alcuni segreti commerciali. Un giochetto da ragazzi, per un tipo come Stone. Apparentemente. Coinvolto in un gioco che sembra molto più grande di lui, Nick finisce per ritrovarsi in Estonia, nel cuore dell'inverno, solo,disarmato, con pochi soldi, un amico da recuperare e, come se non bastasse, i destini dell'Occidente da salvare...

State-of-the-art action in the air, on land and at sea as the USA is drawn into conflict with China in this compelling and authentic new tale from an acclaimed master of the modern action-thriller. Dale Brownʹs spectacular new international bestseller -- packed with high-action entertainment, cutting-edge technology and breathtaking scenes of aerial combat -- looks forward to a near future where Taiwanʹs declaration of independence from mainland China brings a very real threat of major conflict to the Pacific. As China prepares its military response, the US president attempts to avert an international crisis by calling on his own tried and trusted secret strike force. But soon it becomes horribly apparent that with China and the USA moving ever closer to a nuclear showdown, it could be a mission too far for Patrick McLanahan, Brad Elliott, Jon Masters and their high-tech EB-52 Megafortress -- the 'Old Dog' itself.

Di umili origini, Lara Cameron - bellezza mozzafiato e tempra d'acciaio - è animata da una sfrenata ambizione che, unita al talento per gli affare e all'assenza di scrupoli, la portano a capo di un impero immobiliare. E quando conquista anche l'ultimo degli obiettivi che si era prefissata - l'amore di un celebre pianista - pare giunta all'apice della felicità.

Com'è fatto il mondo segreto di uno scrittore strapremiato, adorato dal pubblico e dalla critica? Per venticinque anni Lisey è stata sposata al celebre Scott Landon. Un lungo, stupendo matrimonio con lui - un uomo meraviglioso ma complicato, con una tara nel sangue - e con l'universo di lui, una dimensione proibita ai normali, piena di cose fantastiche ed esaltanti, ma anche letali; di forze che possono risanare o uccidere, in virtù di leggi incomprensibili; il rifugio di un artista geniale e precoce, un Eden vigilato da un serpente inesorabile. Laggiù ci sono colline viola, mari al tramonto, ombre vaganti, tombe, e la "pozza delle parole", cui attingere a piene mani per creare e illudere... Però ora Scott è morto e la vita di Lisey è uguale a quella di tante altre. Non siamo a Boo'ya Moon, bensì nel prosaico Maine, dove lei affronta il triste compito di svuotare il gigantesco studio del marito, con la sua mole di manoscritti. Un gesto innocente, ma che può scatenare le reazioni inconsulte di certi fan un po' particolari. E non è tutto. Impegnata da una parte a difendersi dagli assalti alla sua persona, Lisey si rende conto, su un altro fronte, di essere come una porta lasciata aperta su quell'altro mondo ai confini tra ragione e pazzia... già intravede - negli specchi, nelle superfici lucide - il muso dell'essere che ha popolato gli incubi del marito, che ora viene per lei...
