ZNAK SAGITE — više od fantastike — edicija, časopis, knjižara...

Release date: May 7, 2013 | Series: Vintage Contemporaries     The author of the widely praised debut novel How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe returns with a hilarious, heartbreaking, and utterly original collection of short stories.

A big-box store employee is confronted by a zombie during the graveyard shift, a problem that pales in comparison to his inability to ask a coworker out on a date . . . A fighter leads his band of virtual warriors, thieves, and wizards across a deadly computer-generated landscape, but does he have what it takes to be a hero? . . . A company outsources grief for profit, its slogan: "Don't feel like having a bad day? Let someone else have it for you."

Drawing from both pop culture and science, Charles Yu is a brilliant observer of contemporary society, and in Sorry Please Thank You he fills his stories with equal parts laugh-out-loud humor and piercing insight into the human condition. He has already garnered comparisons to such masters as Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams, and in this new collection we have resounding proof that he has arrived (via a wormhole in space-time) as a major new voice in American fiction.   Show more  Show less

TITLE Martian Sands
A NOVELLA by Lavie Tidhar
PUBLICATION DATE  March 2013
EDITION  Hardcover
COVER ART  Pedro Marques
PRINT RUN unsigned
ISBN  978-1-848635-98-2

SYNOPSIS
1941: an hour before the attack on Pearl Harbour, a man from the future materialises in President Roosevelt's office. His offer of military aid may cut the War and its pending atrocities short, and alter the course of the future . . . The future: welcome to Mars, where the lives of three ordinary people become entwined in one dingy smokesbar the moment an assassin opens fire. The target: the mysterious Bill Glimmung. But is Glimmung even real? The truth might just be found in the remote FDR Mountains, an empty place, apparently of no significance, but where digital intelligences may be about to bring to fruition a long-held dream of the stars . . . Mixing mystery and science fiction, the Holocaust and the Mars of both Edgar Rice Burroughs and Philip K. Dick, Martian Sands is a story of both the past and future, of hope, and love, and of finding meaning—no matter where—or when—you are.

Publication Date:July 4, 2013   This thought-provoking collection not only takes us into the past and the future, but also explores what might happen if we attempt to manipulate time to our own advantage.

These stories show what happen once you start to meddle with time and the paradoxes that might arise. It also raises questions about whether we understand time, and how we perceive it. Once we move outside the present day, can we ever return or do we move into an alternate world? What happens if our meddling with Nature leads to time flowing backwards, or slowing down or stopping all together? Or if we get trapped in a constant loop from which we can never escape. Is the past and future immutable or will we ever be able to escape the inevitable?

These are just some of the questions that are raised in these challenging, exciting and sometimes amusing stories by Kage Baker, Simon Clark, Fritz Leiber, Christopher Priest, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Robert Silverberg, Michael Swanwick, John Varley and many others.   Show more  Show less

Burning Paradise is the upcoming book by one of our favorite writers Robert Charles Wilson and we are happy to reveal to you the cover art and synopsis! Set in the 2015 around nineteen years old Cassie Klyne, Burning Paradise will be published on November 5, 2013 by Tor Books.

Amazon US | Amazon UK

Synopsis:Cassie Klyne, nineteen years old, lives in the United States in the year 2015—but it's not our United States, and it's not our 2015.

Cassie's world has been at peace since the Great Armistice of 1918. There was no World War II, no Great Depression. Poverty is declining, prosperity is increasing everywhere; social instability is rare. But Cassie knows the world isn't what it seems. Her parents were part of a group who gradually discovered the awful truth: that for decades—back to the dawn of radio communications—human progress has been interfered with, made more peaceful and benign, by an extraterrestrial entity. That by interfering with our communications, this entity has tweaked history in massive and subtle ways. That humanity is, for purposes unknown, being farmed.

Cassie's parents were killed for this knowledge, along with most of the other members of their group. Since then, the survivors have scattered and gone into hiding. Cassie and her younger brother Thomas now live with her aunt Nerissa, who shares these dangerous secrets. Others live nearby. For eight years they have attempted to lead unexceptional lives in order to escape detection. The tactic has worked.

Until now. Because the killers are back. And they're not human.

Synopsis:A thrilling tale of supernatural adventure, set on the snowy peaks of Mount Everest from the bestselling author of The Terror.

It's 1926, and the desire to summit the world's highest mountain has reached a fever-pitch among adventurers. Three young friends, eager to take their shot at the top, accept funding from a grieving mother whose son fell to his death on Mt. Everest two years earlier. But she refuses to believe he's dead, and wants them to bring him back alive.

As they set off toward Everest, the men encounter other hikers who are seeking the boy's body for their own mysterious reasons. What valuable item could he have been carrying? What is the truth behind the many disapperances on the mountain? As they journey to the top of the world, the three friends face abominable choices, actions--and possibly creatures. A bone-chilling, pulse-pounding story of supernatural suspense, THE ABOMINABLE is Dan Simmons at his best.

The colony world of Stittara is no ordinary planet. For the interstellar Unity of the Ceylesian Arm, Stittara is the primary source of anagathics: drugs that have more than doubled the human life span. But the ecological balance that makes anagathics possible on Stittara is fragile, and the Unity government has a vital interest in making sure the flow of longevity drugs remains uninterrupted, even if it means uprooting the human settlements.

Offered the job of assessing the ecological impact of the human presence on Stittara, freelance consultant Dr. Paulo Verano jumps at the chance to escape the ruin of his personal life. He gets far more than he bargained for: Stittara's atmosphere is populated with skytubes—gigantic, mysterious airborne organisms that drift like clouds above the surface of the planet. Their exact nature has eluded humanity for centuries, but Verano believes his conclusions about Stittara may hinge on understanding the skytubes' role in the planet's ecology—if he survives the hurricane winds, distrustful settlers, and secret agendas that impede his investigation at every turn.

After their adventures on the high seas, Locke and Jean are brought back to earth with a thump. Jean is mourning the loss of his lover and Locke must live with the fallout of crossing the all-powerful magical assassins the Bonds Magi. It is a fall-out that will pit both men against Locke's own long lost love. Sabetha is Locke's childhood sweetheart, the love of Locke's life and now it is time for them to meet again. Employed on different sides of a vicious dispute between factions of the Bonds Sabetha has just one goal - to destroy Locke for ever. The Gentleman Bastard sequence has become a literary sensation in fantasy circles and now, with the third book, Scott Lynch is set to seal that success. Published in Book News

Synopsis:Having successfully discovered the source of the Nile, Captain Richard Francis Burton returns to London expecting to marry his fiancé, Isabel Arundell, and be awarded the consulship of Damascus. However, when he's unexpectedly knighted by King George V, his plans go awry. The monarch requires an agent to investigate a sequence of disappearances, and Burton, whether he likes it or not, is the man for the job.

Engineering and medical luminaries - such as Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Florence Nightingale - are among the missing, but the most significant absence is that of Abdu El Yezdi, an inhabitant of the Afterlife who, in the two decades since the assassination of Queen Victoria, has been Prime Minister Disraeli's most trusted advisor.

The search for the missing ghost soon becomes the least of the explorer's concerns, for it quickly becomes apparent that he himself is at the centre of increasingly bizarre and interconnected events, and that someone - or something - is intent not only on meddling with history, but also on harming the people Burton values the most.

Science, surrealism, number theory, and more dead Sigmund Freuds than you can shake a stick at.
This is not a novel.
This is not a short story collection.
This is Self-Reference ENGINE.

Keep an eye out for a talking bobby sock named Bobby Socks. Beware the star-man Alpha Centauri. Remember that the chapter entitled "Japanese" is translated from the Japanese, but should be read in Japanese. Warning: if reading this book on the back of a catfish statue, the text may vanish at any moment, and you may forget that it ever existed. From the mind of Toh EnJoe comes Self-Reference ENGINE, a textual machine that combines the rigor of Stanislaw Lem with the imagination of Jorge Luis Borges.

Maurice has just killed a dragon with a breadknife. And had his destiny foretold . . . and had his true love spirited away. That's precisely the sort of stuff that'd bring out the latent heroism in anyone. Unfortunately, Maurice is pretty sure he hasn't got any latent heroism.


Meanwhile, a man wakes up in a jar in a different kind of pickle (figuratively speaking). He can't get out, of course, but neither can he remember his name, or what gravity is, or what those things on the ends on his legs are called . . . and every time he starts working it all out, someone makes him forget again. Forgeteverything. Only one thing might help him. The answer to the most baffling question of all. WHEN IS A DOOR NOT A DOOR?

That Book Your Mad Ancestor Wrote
K.J. Bishop



Publication Date: 11 Mar 2013

Duellists in a decadent urban dream. Lost creatures in a bizarre post-apocalypse. Fables lingering into almost-modern worlds. From hallucinatory surrealism to human dramas at the fuzzy edges of reality, these stories and poems by the author of The Etched City are by turns exuberant, poignant, darkly funny and delightfully deranged, all showcasing the inventive magic of an acclaimed literary fantasist. Includes Aurealis Award winner The Heart of a Mouse and two stories in the world of The Etched City, one previously unpublished.

"Bishop is one of my favorite writers. She is an unmatched stylist and an alarming dreamer. Like her first novel, That Book Your Mad Ancestor Wrote is an astonishment, a portfolio of wonders." —Junot Díaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.

Paperback: 244 pages
Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform; 1 edition (11 Mar 2013)

Uhvatio me na prepad sa ovim cetvrtim delom, ali verujem da je labavo povezan isto kao i treci.

Release date: April 9, 2013      When you open your eyes, things already seem to be happening without you. You don't know who you are and you don't remember where you've been. You know the world has changed, that a catastrophe has destroyed what existed before, but you can't remember exactly what did exist before. And you're paralyzed from the waist down, apparently, but you don't remember that either.

A man claiming to be your friend tells you your services are required. Something crucial has been stolen, but what he tells you about it doesn't quite add up. You've got to get it back or something bad is going to happen. And you've got to get it back fast, so they can freeze you again before your own time runs out.

Before you know it, you're being carried through a ruined landscape on the backs of two men in hazard suits who don't seem anything like you at all, heading toward something you don't understand that may well end up being the death of you.

Welcome to the life of Josef Horkai.

Critically acclaimed and O. Henry prize–winning author Brian Evenson turns his literary eye to a post–apocalyptic earth in this dazzling science fiction novel.--This text refers to the Audio CD edition.    Show more

Editor John Joseph Adams has posted the table of contents for his upcoming anthology from Titan Books: Dead Man's Hand: An Anthology of the Weird West.   

The twenty-two original works—produced specifically for this volume—will range from a brand new Orson Scott Card tale (his first "Alvin Maker" story in a decade), to an original adventure by Fred Van Lente (creator of Cowboys & Aliens). It will also include stories such as Elizabeth Bear's story of a steampunk bordello, and new writer Rajan Khanna's exploration of sorcery found in a magical deck of playing cards.
"The weird western is the forefather of steampunk, with a history that includes Stephen King's Dark Tower and Card's Alvin Maker," editor John Joseph Adams explains.  "But where steampunk is Victorian, weird westerns are darker, grittier, so the protagonist might be gunned down in a duel, killed by a vampire, or confronted by aliens on the streets of a dusty frontier town."
The phrase "dead man's hand' refers to the poker hand held by Wild Bill Hickok when he was shot and killed by the coward Jack McCall.  "What the hand actually was seems to be open to some debate," Adams continues.  "I suppose the only way we could ever know for sure would be to reanimate his corpse or to travel back in time ... both of which are the stuff of the "weird western" tale—stories of the Old West infused with elements of the fantastic."

Lovely UK cover art for the upcoming children's book by Neil Gaiman entitled Fortunately, The Milk has been unveiled. Book is illustrated by Chris Riddell and will be published on 17th September, 2013.

So the next morning, before breakfast, he has to go to the corner shop, and this is the story of why it takes him a very, very long time to get back.

New Cover Art: Alastair Reynolds & Chris Wooding Two forthcoming releases have had their cover art revealed. First up is On the Steel Breeze, the second novel in Alastair Reynolds's Poseidon's Children sequence and the sequel to last year's Blue Remembered Earth. On the Steel Breeze will be out on 15 August:

Second is the fourth and concluding volume in the Tales of the Ketty Jay sequence by Chris Wooding, The Ace of Skulls. This book is set for release on 19 September:


Wooding has also provided an update for American fans of the series. The much-delayed third volume, The Iron Jackal, will be published by Titan in March 2014 and The Ace of Skulls in August 2014.

Steven Erikson's Fall of Light, the second novel of The Kharkanas Trilogy and the sequel to last year's excellent Forge of Darkness, has had a provisional release date set. The current date is 2 January 2014.


Erikson's comrade in arms, Ian Cameron Esslemont, also has a new book tentatively scheduled for November 2013. This book is bearing the title City in the Jungle, a working title for his previously-published Blood and Bone, and fans are speculating this is actually the book formerly known as Assail and will be the last one in Esslemont's Novels of the Malazan Empire series.

As usual, these dates are not yet 100% confirmed. No cover art has yet been unveiled.

 Ian McDonald - Empress of the Sun announced! Cover art and synopsis revealed

   
• Tuesday, 23 April 2013

The latest installment of Everness Saga by Ian McDonald is to be published on February 4th, 2014 and will be called Empress of the Sun. We are particularly happy to be able to show you the cover art and the synopsis.

Synopsis:World-hopping, high-action adventure starring a smart boy with computer skills and a tough girl who pilots a blimp

The airship Everness makes a Heisenberg Jump to an alternate Earth unlike any her crew has ever seen. Everett, Sen, and the crew find themselves above a plain that goes on forever in every direction without any horizon. There they find an Alderson Disc, an astronomical megastructure of incredibly strong material reaching from the orbit of Mercury to the orbit of Jupiter. Then they meet the Jiju, the dominant species on a plane where the dinosaurs didn't die out. They evolved, diversified, and have a twenty-five million year technology head-start on humanity. War between their kingdoms is inevitable, total and terrible.

Everness has jumped right into the midst of a faction fight between rival nations, the Fabreen and Dityu empires. The airship is attacked, but then defended by the forces of the Fabreen, who offers theEverness crew protection. But what is the true motive behind Empress Aswiu's aid? What is her price?

The crew of the Everness is divided in a very alien world, a world fast approaching the point of apocalypse.

Još posla za Polaris, nadam se. Obožavam način na koji ovaj čovek piše. Možda bi Stiven King mogao da proda svoj spisak za kupovinu, ali Mekdonald je možda jedini koji bi mogao da napiše spisak za kupovinu koji bi bio zanimljiv za čitanje.

Paladin mislis? btw navijam za Skrobonju da skupi i izda sve Mekdonaldovo, covek je genije.

Da, Paladin. Ovih dana obnavljam Volfovo Dugo Sunce (ne na papiru na žalost, nigde ne mogu da nađem ove knjige sem Egzodusa), pa mi valjda Polaris čuči u podsvesti.

Navijam za isto, onda. Ostalo mi je da kupim Knjigu izgubljenih snova, koju sam prvu uzeo da čitam, stao na pola i vratio je u biblioteku. Hteo sam da se prvo kupim i pročitam ostale knjige, da bih se bolje upoznao sa svetovima u kojima se priče odigravaju i događajima na koje aludiraju. Na žalost, izgleda da Paladin ne može brže da izbacuje Mekdonaldove prevode, pa ću morati da odustanem od te ideje. Nemam strpljenja.

This year's con had a stupendous arrangement of panels covering all interests (You can see the full schedule here: http://8squared2013.sched.org/).  Indeed - one of the most commonly uttered phrases over the weekend from the people I talked to was the sheer wide range of what was available to attend: a rough count had it at over 149 events across the weekend. Impressive stuff, and much respect to the organisers for managing to put on such a diverse offering!For my part in the events, I had been approached to be moderator of a Small Press Stories panel – where a collection of never-do-wells could hang out and talk about what it is like to run a small press – and to hopefully inspire others and to provoke a few laughs. Seeing as I was on high doe with a few minor bits of drama around the arrival/departure times for my fellow panelists (at one point I thought I might have to do it all with puppets), I thought it prudent that a pre-panel tipple would chill me out. This worked very well.

On the panel we had Ian Whates (author, NewCon Press), Donna Scott (editor, writer, and now BSFA president), Bob Neilson (editor/publisher, Albedo One/Aeon Press), Pete Crowther (PS Publishing), and myself. We had to walk a fine line between possibly some deep nitty gritty (how we approach contracts and the professional relationship, marketing et al), mixed with more humorous anecdotes and recollections – and I think we managed it. We had a packed room, and some really great and open discussion was had. It was only a shame that we had to call time on the conversation after an hour!
Later that evening we held the launch party for two of our latest releases – two of Ben Jeapes' finest: 'His Majesty's Starship', a fantastic 'first contact' novel, and his short story collection 'Jeapes Japes' - which collects all of his shorter works. Simon Morden (of the Philip K. Dick Award-winning Metrozone series of novels) very graciously agreed to act as a 'Fake-Ben', as Ben Jeapes himself was unable to attend due to very large community commitments that he had agreed to earlier in the year.  Simon gave us a lovely reading of one of Ben's shorts, and then a rather unusual book-signing commenced: Everybody who wanted a signed copy of Ben's work could get one - and Simon would sign as whomever you wanted him to be. Cue plenty of people getting books from Karl Marx, Jerry Cornelius, etc.
Once done, I was freed of my primary responsibilities and was then able to run around, attend other panels and catch up with friends and make new friends - which is for me the highlight of every Eastercon.
That said, thanks to the wonderful bar staff and the great company, the rest of the con was, for myself, a bit of a blur. I was fortunate to attend several panels, most notably readings by Cory Doctorow and Jaine Fenn, as well as panels on communication and identity, and story in games.


The stand-out panel however was "Reinventing Urban Fantasy". Quite simply one of the most enjoyable panel discussions I have ever had the pleasure of attending.  The panelists were Adrian Faulkner, David Gullen, CE Murphy, and Emma Newman - and the conversation simply sparkled. Cool concepts and possibilities were being thrown playfully around and enjoyed by all parties, and the animated discussion that resulted will (unfortunately for all other cons), be the high watermark I use to judge every panel discussion from this point forward.
For the rest of the con, I hung out in the dealers room, as well as the Small Press Showcase area - where I got to promote more of Clarion Publishing's works. The high point of random conversations that makes me love my fellow man has to be the lovely couple who I met on Saturday night who opened my eyes to the Big Finish Doctor Who collection (I had always been curious and had indeed purchased a few CD's in my time - but I had always been hesitant to dive in, feeling as if it was the same as a thirsty man trying to drink the ocean. They soon put me right however and guided my journey).  From me to you: thank you.
I wasn't able to attend Monday's festivities, so Sunday night was my last night - which ended in a gloriously happy manner as I caught up with a shocked Ian Sales, who had just won in the BSFA Short Fiction category - and was cheerfully numb enough from this that the drink flowing his way couldn't make a dent on him.
Monday morning was the train back to London, and it gave me a chance to review my Eastercon experience. From my side, I enjoyed the people most of all - conventions are a mirror on the community as a whole, and we are truly blessed with good people and kind hearts.
From the view of the con as a representative of Clarion Publishing, I was very appreciative of the special consideration the small press publishers were given by the organisers – with one dedicated panel and a daily showcase slot for our works, it really felt as if proper focus was being given to the legacy and history of the small press.
My thanks go to the organisers of EightSquared Con - most notably the Chair, Juliet McKenna, who took time out of her crazy weekend to help me with any and all requests, to Kari for her wonderful kindness upon my arrival, and finally to all the ops team who helped me daily with a lot of background logistics! I think it would be safe to say that the 64th Eastercon was a resounding success!

Release date: October 15, 2013 | Series: The Mysteries of New Venice    Book two in The Mysteries of New Venice, the steampunk adventure series The Guardian called a "magnificent achievement"

It's 1907 in the icily beautiful New Venice, and the hero of the city's liberation, Brentford Orsini, has been deposed by his arch-rival -- who immediately assigns Brentford and his friends on a dangerous diplomatic mission to Paris.

So, Brentford recruits his old friend and louche counterpart, Gabriel d'Allier, underground chanteuse and suffragette Lillian Lake, and the mysterious Blankbate--former Foreign Legionnaire and leader of the Scavengers, the city's garbage collecting cult--and others, for the mission.

But their mode of transportation--the untested "transaerian psychomotive"--proves faulty and they find themselves transported back in time to Paris 1895 ... before New Venice even existed. What's more, it's a Paris experiencing an unprecedented and crushingly harsh winter.

They soon find themselves involved with some of the city's seediest, most fascinating inhabitants. But between attending soirees at Mallarmé's house, drinking absinthe with Proust, trying to wrestle secrets out of mesmerists, and making fun of the newly-constructed Eiffel Tower, they also find that Paris is a city full of intrigue, suspicion, and danger.

For example, are the anarchists they encounter who are plotting to bomb the still-under construction Sacre Coeur church also the future founders of New Venice? And why are they trying to kill them?

And, as Luminous Chaos turns into another lush adventure told in glorious prose rich in historical allusion, there's the biggest question of them all: How will they ever get home?

Synopsis:In the alien universe of The Clockwork Rocket and The Eternal Flame, the travelers on the generation ship Peerless have completed a long struggle to develop advanced technology that could save their home world. But as tensions mount over the risks of turning the ship around and starting the long voyage home, a new complication arises: the prospect of constructing a messaging system that will give the Peerless news of its own future. While some see this as a guarantee of safety and a chance to learn of their mission's ultimate success, others are convinced that the knowledge will be oppressive. When these differences lead to violence, four of the crew must embark on the strangest journey they have ever undertaken: visiting a world where the arrow of time is reversed.

Citala? Imas li ideju koliko je samostalna?

 Overila negde oko trećine čim se pojavilo, to onako preventivno, isto kao i Ortogonal.    Aurorarama je vrlo raskošno i izazovno štivo, i stilski i sadržajno. Verujem da će najbolje leći onome ko se oduševljava Mijevilom, Kiernanovom i stimpankom ujedno, što mene ostavlja prilično van ciljne grupe, ali svejedno, nameravam da mu se vratim kad se trilogija kompletira. 

Trilogija  Nabavio sam ga i nisam maltene ni otvorio knjigu. Ali, da, zvuci kao da sam ciljna grupa. Hvala.

ajde pa... overi pa nam javi.

The Disappearances was going to be a different book. The disappearances themselves were still going to happen and much of it would have probably been quite similar, but I had thought, after writing the Killables, that my interest was still in the brain and the idea that removing a bit of it could remove all negative impulses, could create the 'world peace' that everyone is so desperate for. See, the brain is a fascinating thing. And the more I studied it, the more questions I found myself asking. Like what is personality? Are we really in control of our actions? You read stories about people who have a brain injury and turn into different people overnight. So what it is that makes us... well, us? That was my obsession when I was writing the Killables, and it was my plan to explore the idea further in The Disappearances.






Only then I got talking to someone about the System, the computer program I created in the Killables, which can monitor and manage people, grading them by how 'good' they are. And I realised as I talked that this had become my new obsession. Not the System itself, but information. More specifically, the information held on us, the information we share with the world, the potential power that companies like google have - they know what we want, they know what we're thinking about (don't tell me you don't always google your latest obsession, whether it's a person, an idea, a sport or a pair of shoes. Google probably knows better than me what my next book is going to be about...). So what if there was someone determined to use all that information to his advantage? How could information be used to manipulate people? And in a world where the vast majority of what we think we know about stuff is gathered via computers/televisions/other screens, how easy would it be to convince us something was happening even if it wasn't?





The Disappearances follows on from the Killables, with the same characters, but the camera lense moves right back so we're not focused in on the City of the first book, but instead we see the world around it, both physically and temporally. We go back in time to before the Horrors which created the City. We learn how they happened. We find out what they were really all about. And we also see how Evie and Raffy respond to the freedom they are given; Evie grasps it joyfully but Raffy... Well, he's not so sure. He's spent his whole life being angry and bitter and now he's got nothing to be angry and bitter about. Except, of course, the fact that Evie is so obviously flourishing and he isn't. And it eats him up; he's always wanted Evie for himself, has always been jealous. But now his jealousy isn't just affecting Evie; it's threatening everything they've worked so hard for.
And then, of course, there's Lucas, who's battling his own demons back in the City, where everyone is confused and afraid, where young people are disappearing off the face of the earth, where he suspects dark forces are at play but no one is revealing their secrets...

ovo nije SF ali je verovatno poslednja Ianova knjiga, pa...

Steta je sto se u ovoj kolekciji nalaze samo tri prethodno objavljene price, nadao sam se novoj. Ove tri sam citao u Year's bestovima i veoma uzivao. U pitanju je lajberovski sword & sorcery ali napisan, recimo, modernijim sentimentom.

Sir Hereward and Mister Fitz by Garth Nix

      

   
• ISBN: 978-1-59606-500-0
• Length: 136 pages

(preorder—to be published in June)

Dust jacket illustration by Tom Canty.

Sir Hereward. Knight, artillerist, swordsman. Mercenary for hire. Ill-starred lover.

Mister Fitz. Puppet, sorcerer, loremaster. Practitioner of arcane arts now mostly and thankfully forgotten. Former nursemaid to Hereward.

Sir Hereward and Mister Fitz. Agents of the Council of the Treaty for the Safety of the World, charged with the location and removal of listed extra-dimensional entities, more commonly known as gods or godlets.

Sir Hereward and Mister Fitz.

Travellers. Adventurers. Godslayers...

For the first time, the two award-winning novellas and a short story featuring Sir Hereward and Mister Fitz's exploits are gathered together in a single volume. From the New York Times-bestselling writer Garth Nix, author of The Abhorsen Trilogy (Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen), Shade's Children, The Seventh Tower series, The Keys to the Kingdom series and Troubletwisters (with Sean Williams).

Reader Advisory: Though some of Garth Nix's books and stories are for children, this one is not. It is for adult readers.

Limited: 1000 signed numbered hardcover copies

From Publishers Weekly:
"Their methods involve explosives, hand-to-hand combat, and spells that Fitz casts with 'esoteric needles.' Nix creates well-defined characters; while fairly vain, Hereward appreciates the scars on a woman's face more than the sullen disposition of a comely lady, and his magical companion has a surprisingly dry wit. Grown Nix fans looking for something a little different will enjoy these brief stories."

Publication Date:May 1, 2013    Winner of a Prometheus and Sidewise Award, this science fiction novella is a comedic and biting commentary on capitalism and an exploration of technological singularity in a posthuman civilization. As a world war rages on without an emerging victor, the story follows John Matheson, an idealistic teenage Scottish guerilla warrior who must change his tactics and alliances with the arrival of an alien species. This alternate history and poignant political satire flips hero types and expectations, delivering a lively tale of adventure—as dramatic and thought provoking as it is funny. Also included is an interview with the author and two essays that relate his poignant views on social philosophies.   Show more  Show less

The days of the Deer by Liliana Bodoc

QuoteIt is known that the strangers will sail from some part of the Ancient Lands and will cross the Yentru Sea. All our predictions and sacred books clearly say the same thing. The rest is all shadows. Shadows that prevent us from seeing the faces of those who are coming.
In the House of Stars, the Astronomers of the Open Air read contradictory omens. A fleet is coming to the shores of the Remote Realm. But are these the long-awaited Northmen, returned triumphant from the war in the Ancient Lands? Or the emissaries of the Son of Death come to wage a last battle against life itself?
From every village of the seven tribes, a representative is called to a Great Council. One representative will not survive the journey. Some will be willing to sacrifice their lives, others their people, but one thing is certain: the era of light is at an end.

QuoteLILIANA BODOC was born in Santa Fe in 1958. She took a Modern Literature degree at the National University of Cuyo. Her narrative works, including the fantasy trilogy Los saga de los Confines, were published by Norma and became bestsellers in Latin America. The first volume of her most recent saga, Memorias Impuras, was published in 2007 by Planeta/Argentina.

Posedujem sve knjige iz serijala u originalu i mogu da kazem da je ovo fenomenalno!!! Liliana pise veoma, veoma dobro. Ovo nije samo prica o borbi dobra protiv zla, vec odlicno napisana prica. Naravno sve je inspirisano osvajackim pohodima spanske i portugalske krune na tlu juzne amerike.


I samo da dodam - ako nekome fali naslova za objavljivanje u domenu fantazy zanra ovo bi bila prava stvar. Ubedite nekoga da otkupi prava za Srbiju
