Все, чего хотел Магнус Бейн, — наконец-то спокойно отдохнуть в Европе. Вместе с Алеком Лайтвудом. Но едва они приехали в Париж, как на них обрушивается лавина новостей и событий. Поклонники культа Багровой Руки сеют хаос во всем мире. А культ этот был основан самим Магнусом. Много лет назад. В шутку. Враги преследуют их по пятам. Отличить друга от врага все труднее. Единственное спасение — в доверии друг другу. Даже если на свет при этом выплывут тайны, которые каждый предпочел бы сохранить.

Новые захватывающие приключения Магнуса Бейна и Алека Лайтвуда. То, что должно было стать романтическим отдыхом, снова оказалось опаснейшей миссией в самое сердце империи зла.

На этот раз судьба приводит Магнуса и Алека в Шанхай — именно туда ведут следы тех, кто похитил Белую книгу, в которой собраны самые мощные заклинания. Но вскоре Сумеречные охотники узнают, что над ними и всем, что им дорого, нависла страшная угроза. В их мир вот‑вот прорвется армия демонов...

Во главе Чжун когда-то был единственный император, но он умер, и между Пяти Поднебесными княжествами началась междоусобица. Объединить их правителей может единственная цель — победа над Вечным Ханом. Ради этой цели они растрачивают свою казну на воспитание предреченного героя Тяньди — Цзяня, с рождения росшего в роскоши и великолепии и прославленного еще до того, как он выиграл хотя бы одно сражение. Однако внезапно оказывается, что пророчество неверно.

In a future when Earth is a toxic, abandoned world and humanity has spread into the outer solar system to survive, the tightly controlled use of time travel holds the key to maintaining a fragile existence among the other planets and their moons. James Griffin-Mars is a chronman–a convicted criminal recruited for his unique psychological makeup to undertake the most dangerous job there is: missions into Earth’s past to recover resources and treasure without altering the timeline. Most chronmen never reach old age, and James is reaching his breaking point. On his final mission, James meets scientist Elise Kim, who is fated to die during the destruction of an oceanic rig. Against his training and common sense, James brings her back to the future with him, saving her life, but turning them both into fugitives. Remaining free means losing themselves in the wild and poisonous wastes of Earth, and discovering what hope may yet remain for humanity’s home world.

When out-of-shape IT technician Roen woke up and started hearing voices in his head, he naturally assumed he was losing it. He wasn’t. He now has a passenger in his brain – an ancient alien life-form called Tao, whose race crash-landed on Earth before the first fish crawled out of the oceans. Now split into two opposing factions – the peace-loving, but under-represented Prophus, and the savage, powerful Genjix – the aliens have been in a state of civil war for centuries. Both sides are searching for a way off-planet, and the Genjix will sacrifice the entire human race, if that’s what it takes. Meanwhile, Roen is having to train to…

Преследуемый прошлым, порабощённый настоящим, Джеймс Гриффин-Марс берёт под свой контроль будущее. Земля отравлена, малонаселенная пустошь — идеальное укрытие для беглого путешественника во времени, чтобы скрыться от властей. У Джеймса есть союзники — учёные, которых он спас в прошлом. Но у Джеймса есть и враги — корпорация, которой управляет жадность и страх. В центре корпорации — её безжалостный руководитель Куо, который жаждет получить голову Джеймса и он ни перед чем не остановится.

The Prophus and the Genjix are at war. For centuries they have sought a way off-planet, guiding humanity’s social and technological development to the stage where space travel is possible. The end is now in sight, and both factions have plans to leave the Earth, but the Genjix method will mean the destruction of the human race.

That’s a price they’re willing to pay.

It’s up to Roen and Tao to save the world. Oh, dear…

In this white-knuckled and high-stakes thriller, set in the expansive world of Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead series, three different people in Chinaa rural farmer, an urban military veteran, and an American studentare caught in the typhoon of undead as chaos sweeps over the most populous country in Asia.In the aftermath of a horrifying outbreak, the last remnants of the Chinese government have estimated that one billion walkers (called jiangshi) are currently roaming the country. Across this desolate landscape, large groups of survivors have clustered together for safety in settlements that have been built to protect against the unceasing wave of jiangshi. In one of these settlements, Beacon of Light, scavengers of vastly different backgrounds struggle to provide supplies for the survival of thousands. Before this devastation, Zhu was one of the millions of poor farmers who left their rural roots for the promise of consistent employment in one of China's booming factory towns. Elena was an American teaching English in China while on a gap year before beginning law school. Hengyen was a grizzled military officer of some renown, and a passionate believer in his nation's ability to surmount any obstacle. But with the settlement's 3,000 mouths to feed and the scavengers having to travel further and further in search of food, Zhu ends up at his home village, where he is shocked to find survivors. Does he force them to join the settlement or keep their existence a secret? Meanwhile, a veritable typhoon of walkers is headed towards the Beacon of Light. When the conniving leader of the Beacon, Secretary Guo, tasks Hengyen with rounding up all survivors in the area for a desperate last stand, the military man sees it for the foolish, futile directive that it is. Ever the patriot, though, he will stand with his compatriots to the very last. But Zhu finds himself caught between his love for Elena, his duty to the Beacon, and his desire to flee with the villagers. With time running out and the stakes higher than ever, these three survivors must figure out how to live with the overwhelming odds against them.

Cameron Tan wouldn’t have even been in Greece if he hadn’t gotten a ‘D’ in Art History.
Instead of spending the summer after college completing his training as a Prophus operative, he’s doing a study abroad program in Greece, enjoying a normal life – spending time with friends and getting teased about his crush on a classmate.
Then the emergency notification comes in: a Prophus agent with vital information needs immediate extraction, and Cameron is the only agent on the ground, responsible for getting the other agent and data out of the country. The Prophus are relying on him to uncomplicate things.
Easy.
Easy, except the rival Genjix have declared all-out war against the Prophus, which means Greece is about to be a very dangerous place. And the agent isn’t the only person relying on Cameron to get them safely out of the country – his friends from the study abroad program are, too. Cameron knows a good agent would leave them to fend for themselves. He also knows a good person wouldn’t. Suddenly, things aren’t easy at all.
