Когато 8 Япония са публикувани първите две книги на 1Q84, читателите разграбват милионния тираж и са завладени изцяло от историята на Аомаме и Тенго и странния паралелен свят, които те обитават. И тогава — година по-късно — за радост на читателите Мураками съвършено неочаквано публикува книга трета на романа, криеща развръзката на необичайното повествование, в което ни потапя разюзданото му въображение. Както ни подсказва заглавието, романът е поклон пред Джордж-Оруеловата „1984“ (цифрата 9 на японски се произнася като буквата Q). Годината е 1984. Аомаме е заседнала в такси в тежкия трафик на Токио, а има неотложна и спешна задача, която трябва да изпълни на всяка цена. Шофьорът й предлага решение на проблема и тя приема, но в резултат на действията си започва да се чувства все по-откъсната от действителността. Тенго, които мечтае да бъде писател, води едно с нищо незабележимо съществование, докато не се оказва забъркан в странна история, свързана с литературна награда, за която е кандидатствало с първия си роман седемнайсетгодишно момиче. Историята, описана в романа, въздейства силно на читателите, но дали е истинска, или измислица? Междувременно Аомаме и Тенго започват да усещат, че светът става все по-странен, а те не могат един без друг

Харуки Мураками е достигнал статута на култов писател, чиито романи се продават в милионни тиражи както в родната му Япония, така и в превод на десетки езици. В най-новата си творба, „1Q84“, той ни среща с два култа: на християнска секта и на загадъчната секта, отговорна за атаката с нервнопаралитичен газ в токийското метро през 1995 г. Когато в Япония излизат от печат първа и втора книга на романа, за един месец се продават 1 милион екземпляра, а възторгът на критиката отеква в цял свят. Действието започва през 1984 г., но в типичен за Мураками стил се пренася в паралелния свят на годината 1Q84 (Q = question mark, въпросителна), където човек може да се изгуби безвъзвратно и никога повече да не се появи. В началото на романа един редактор в японско издателство описва привлякла вниманието му повест по следния начин: „При желание книгата може да бъде съсипана от анализи. Но самият сюжет е могъщ, той буквално те засмуква. Фабулата е основана на фантазията, но описанията са невероятно реалистични. Постигнат е чудесен баланс между двете. След като изчетеш цялата творба с всичките недостатъци, тя те грабва по един странен, необясним начин“. Оценката важи с пълна сила и за „1Q84“

Когато в Япония са публикувани първите две книги на 1Q84, читателите разграбват милионния тираж и са завладени изцяло от историята на Аомаме и Тенго и странния паралелен свят, който те обитават. И тогава — година по-късно — за радост на читателите Мураками съвършено неочаквано публикува книга трета на романа, криеща развръзката на необичайното повествование, в което ни потапя разюзданото му въображение. Както ни подсказва заглавието, романът е поклон пред Джордж-Оруеловата „1984“ (цифрата 9 на японски се произнася като буквата Q). В третата книга на този уникален роман, покорил целия свят, се чува нов глас — гласът на Ушикава. И той задава най-различни въпроси: кой е този баща, който неспирно идва да чука на вратата ни? Реалността бива ли изобщо истинска? А времето, тази страховита илюзия, завинаги ли е изгубено? Аомаме и Тенго вече не са сами под двете луни на 1Q84. Те не го съзнават още, но това е единственото безупречно място на света. Едно напълно изолирано място и все пак единственото, необагрено в цветовете на самотата

The Seven Kingdoms have come apart. Joffrey, Queen Cersei's sadistic son, ascends the Iron Throne following the death of Robert Baratheon, the Usurper, who won it in battle. Queen Cersei's family, the Lannisters, fight to hold it for him. Both the dour Stannis and the charismatic Renly Baratheon, Robert's brothers, also seek the throne. Robb Stark, declared King in the North, battles to avenge his father's execution and retrieve his sister from Joffrey's court. Daenerys, the exiled last heir of the former ruling family, nurtures three dragons and seeks a way home. Meanwhile the Night's Watch, sworn to protect the realm from dangers north of the Wall, dwindle in numbers, even as barbarian forces gather and beings out of legend stalk the Haunted Forest

More than a century has passed since the mighty struggle between the wizards and the mages ended in their mutual destruction, and more than forty years since the Empress Ouriana became the Divine Incarnation of the Devouring Moon. Appointing twelve deadly sorcerers as her priests, she rules the land in darkness unending. Yet there is a small chance for hope, if one foreordained princess can survive. But she has vanished behind enemy lines, and even a brave band of heroes may not be able to reach her in time. For Ouriana's dark reign has woken the ancient terrors of legend, and their vengeance will be swift and all-consuming

With Babylon 5 complete at last, the Alliance is ready to enter a new age, a golden time of peace and prosperity.  But in a galaxy that has known only war, the concept of peace is hard to grasp.  The new age brings many challenges, not learning how to fight, but learning how to live.  Some seek that understanding through work and labour, others through continuing to build a better world, while for some there is no understanding, only continued war.  And across the dead vastness of space, ancient ships continue to move, gathering for a purpose no one can comprehend

For a year and a half, he has been gone.  Shrouded in mystery and rumour, he has been walking in the shadows at the corner of the mind's eye.  It is time for him to return.  As the Brotherhood Without Banners prepares the next stage of its devastating campaign of terror, as Dexter Smith struggles to investigate what is happening to the telepaths, as G'Kar learns some horrifying secrets, and as Sheridan stares into the abyss of his own soul, Sinoval will reach out his hand and return to the galaxy.  And two steps behind him.... is Sebastian

All things have a price, all actions have a consequence, but no one suspected this.  Across an entire world, eyes look up at the heavens to see a black shadow fall across the sun, and a voice speaks to an entire race.   "Behold the price of disobedience.  Behold the price of dealing with the Shadow."  And then the screaming begins

It begins as shock.  It turns to anger, then fear.  A dead world.  A homeless people.  And a lust for revenge.  All forces begin to converge on Babylon 5, demanding answers, demanding retribution, demanding justice.  Kats and Sinoval and Corwin and Delenn and Sheridan and the remnants of the Narn people.  And Sebastian.  And the Vorlons.  Truth is a three-edged sword - but then understanding is not required.  Only obedience

2261 was the year the war ended. 2262 was the year the peace began. But for some people the difference between peace and war is very small indeed. Decisions made in wartime look harder in the cold light of day, and the greater the light shining in the galaxy, the greater the shadows cast by it. 2261 was the year the war ended. 2263 was the year the peace fell apart. 2262 was the year in between. The year the dream was born

Long-awaited doesn't begin to describe this fourth installment in bestseller Martin's staggeringly epic Song of Ice and Fire. Speculation has run rampant since the previous entry, A Storm of Swords, appeared in 2000, and Feast teases at the important questions but offers few solid answers. As the book begins, Brienne of Tarth is looking for Lady Catelyn's daughters, Queen Cersei is losing her mind and Arya Stark is training with the Faceless Men of Braavos; all three wind up in cliffhangers that would do justice to any soap opera. Meanwhile, other familiar faces—notably Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen—are glaringly absent though promised to return in book five. Martin's Web site explains that Feast and the forthcoming A Dance of Dragons were written as one book and split after they grew too big for one volume, and it shows. This is not Act I Scene 4 but Act II Scene 1, laying groundwork more than advancing the plot, and it sorely misses its other half. The slim pickings here are tasty, but in no way satisfying

In a world where the approaching winter will last four decades, kings and queens, knights and renegades struggle for control of a throne. Some fight with sword and mace, others with magic and poison. Beyond the Wall to the north, meanwhile, the Others are preparing their army of the dead to march south as the warmth of summer drains from the land. After more than a decade devoted primarily to TV and screen work, Martin (The Armageddon Rag, 1983) makes a triumphant return to high fantasy with this extraordinarily rich new novel, the first of a trilogy. Although conventional in form, the book stands out from similar work by Eddings, Brooks and others by virtue of its superbly developed characters, accomplished prose and sheer bloody-mindedness. Although the romance of chivalry is central to the culture of the Seven Kingdoms, and tournaments, derring-do and handsome knights abound, these trappings merely give cover to dangerous men and women who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. When Lord Stark of Winterfell, an honest man, comes south to act as the King's chief councilor, no amount of heroism or good intentions can keep the realm under control. It is fascinating to watch Martin's characters mature and grow, particularly Stark's children, who stand at the center of the book. Martin's trophy case is already stuffed with major prizes, including Hugos, Nebulas, Locus Awards and a Bram Stoker. He's probably going to have to add another shelf, at least. Major ad/promo

“A breathtaking new epic fantasy series. Morgan Rice does it again! This magical sorcery saga reminds me of the best of J.K. Rowling, George R.R. Martin, Rick Riordan, Christopher Paolini and J.R.R. Tolkien.

In an epic battle of dragons and of men, Thor will be tested in every way; as he battles monsters and lays down his life for his brothers, he will dig deeper to become the great warrior he was meant to be. In the Southern Isles, Erec lies dying, and Alistair, accused of his murder, must do what she can to both save Erec and absolve herself of guilt. A civil war erupts in a power struggle for the throne, and Alistair finds herself caught in the middle, with her fate, and Erec’s, hanging in the balance. Romulus remains intent on destroying Gwendolyn, Thorgrin, and what remains of the Ring; but his moon cycle is coming to an end, and his power will be severely tested. Meanwhile, in the Northern province of the Empire, a new hero is rising: Darius, a 15 year old warrior, who is determined to break off the chains of slavery and rise up amongst his people. But the Northern Capitol is run by Volusia, a 18 year old girl, famed for her beauty—and famed also her barbaric cruelty. Will Gwen and her people survive? Will Guwayne be found? Will Romulus crush the Ring? Will Erec live? Will Thorgrin return in time? With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A LAND OF FIRE is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders

At long last, the conclusion to Glen Cook''s Dread Empire saga has arrived!

And in the highest peaks of the Dragona''s Teeth, in the ancient castle Fangdred, the sorcerer called Varthlokkur uses his arts to spy on the world at large, observing the puppet strings that control kings and empires alike, waiting... For the time of the wrath of kings is almost at hand, and vengeance lies along a path to coldness of heart

The stories assembled for this collection are set in the universe of Night’s Dawn trilogy. Now, they form a series of snapshot glimpses into the history of the Confederation leading up to the time of Joshua Calvert and Quinn Dexter. It wasn’t always so

As a whole, this series comprises a genuine masterpiece of modern fantasy, bringing together the best the genre has to offer. Magic, mystery, intrigue, romance, and adventure fill these pages and transport us to a world unlike any we have ever experienced. Already hailed as a classic, George R. R. Martin's stunning series is destined to stand as one of the great achievements of imaginative fiction. Four contend for power over the Iron Throne and the Land of the Seven Kingdoms; alliances shift, and betrayal is always an option. House Lannister's head, Joffrey, rules uneasily. Joffrey's enemy, Lord Stannis, is disgraced and enthralled. Robb of House Stark still rules the North, implacable in his enmity towards his Lannister foes, even as they hold his sister hostage.

Nathan Arkwright is a seminal author of the twentieth century. At the end of his life he becomes reclusive and cantankerous, refusing to appear before or interact with his legion of fans. Little did anyone know, Nathan was putting into motion his true, timeless legacy. Convinced that humanity cannot survive on Earth, his Arkwright Foundation dedicates itself to creating a colony on an Earth-like planet several light years distant. Fueled by Nathan’s legacy, generations of Arkwrights are drawn together, and pulled apart, by the enormity of the task and weight of their name

Kuurus was one of the dread caste of assassins on the hidden world of Counter-Earth. He was hired for twenty pieces of gold to avenge the death of a warrior. Now he was on his way to the great city of Ar, where he was forbidden by ancient sentance of death ever to appear again. He knew nothing of his intended victim, save that the man had taken part in the savage tarn races at the Arena of the Ar. Ans all he knew of the man he was to avenge was a name. The name was that of Tarl Cabot, the great warrior and servent to the all powerfull Priest-Kings. And that was strange. Because the true name of Kuurus was Tarl Cabot!

On Gor, the other world in Earth's orbit, the term beast can many any of three things: First, there are the Kurii, the monsters from space who are about to invade that world. Second, there are the Gorean warriors, men whose fighting ferocity is incomparable. Third, there are the slave girls, who are both beasts of burden and objects of desire. All three kinds of beasts come into action in this thrilling novel as the Kurii establish their first beachhead on Gor's polar cap. Here is a John Norman epic that takes Tarl Cabot from the canals of Port Kar to the taverns of Lydius, the tents on the Sardar Fair, and to a grand climax among the red hunters of the Arctic ice pack

Tarl Cabot, seeking the monsters from the Steel Worlds, found himself among the cruel savages who rule the vast Barrens. Though himself enslaved, he stood with his comrades and masters against a coming onslaught. For the Kur had united the enemies of the tribe that held Cabot, and death and destruction were unleashed. Out of the plains came riding hordes of feud-driven braves, from the skies came a host of maddened tarn-riders, and even among the slave girls held by the blood brothers here was a devilish treason. BLOOD BROTHERS OF GOR is one of the great John Norman epics. It is a long novel of constant action, told in depth and detail, of a struggle fought for the fate of a world where strong men clash and beautiful women await their victors

Mired in greed and corruption, tangled in bureaucracy, the Galactic Republic is crumbling. In the outlying systems, where the Trade Federation maintains a stranglehold on shipping routes, tensions are boiling over — while back in the comfort of Coruscant, the hub of civilized space and seat of Republic government, few senators seem inclined to investigate the problem. And those who suspect Supreme Chancellor Valorum of having a hand in the machinations are baffled — especially when Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi foil an assassination attempt on the Chancellor. With the crisis escalating, Valorum calls for an emergency trade summit. As Humans and aliens gather, conspiracies sealed with large sums of money run rampant, and no one is entirely above suspicion. But the greatest threat of all remains unknown to everyone except three members of the Trade Federation who have entered into a shadowy alliance with a dark overlord. While the trio will be content with more money and fewer problems, Darth Sidious has grander, far more terrifying plans. It is a time that tests the mettle of all those who strive to hold the Republic together — none more so than the Jedi Knights, who have long been the galaxy's best hope for preserving peace and justice. Yet despite their most valiant efforts, the meeting will explode into fiery chaos beyond everyone's worst fears…

La Rueda del Tiempo se acerca a su culminación. Mientras el entramado de la realidad se vuelve inestable, todo indica que el Tarmon Gai'don está cerca y que Rand al’Thor tiene que enfrentarse con el Oscuro.

Doreen Williamson appeared to be a quiet shy librarian, but in the dark of the library, after hours, she would practice, semi-nude, her secret studies in belly-dancing. Until, one fateful night, the slavers from Gor kidnapped her. On that barbarically splendid counter-Earth, Doreen drew a high price as a dancer in taverns, in slave collar and ankle bells. Until each of her owners became aware that their prize dancer was the target of power forces---that in the tense climate of the ongoing war between Ar and Cos, two mighty empires, Doreen was too dangerous to keep. DANCER OF GOR is a John Norman bonus novel---an erotic fever-pitched novel of an alien world where men were all-powerful and women were living jewels of desire

Since childhood, Dessel has known only the abuse of his hateful father and the dangerous, soul-crushing labor of a cortosis miner. Deep in the tunnels of the desolate planet Apatros, endlessly excavating the rare mineral valued throughout the galaxy, Dessel dreams of the day he can escape — a day he fears may never come. But when a high-stakes card game ends in deadly violence, Dessel suddenly finds himself a wanted man. On the run from vengeful Republic forces, Dessel vanishes into the ranks of the Sith army, and ships out to join the bloody war against the Republic and its Jedi champions. There, Dessel’s brutality, cunning, and exceptional command of the Force swiftly win him renown as a warrior. But in the eyes of his watchful masters, he is destined for a far greater role in the ultimate Sith plan for the galaxy — if he can prove himself truly worthy. As an acolyte in the Sith academy, studying the secrets and skills of the dark side at the feet of its greatest masters, Dessel embraces his new Sith identity: Bane. However the true test is yet to come. In order to gain acceptance into the Brotherhood of Darkness one must fully surrender to the dark side through a trial by fire that Bane, for all his unquenchable fury and lust for power, may not be strong enough to endure…especially since deception, treachery, and murder run rampant among the Sith disciples, and utter ruthlessness alone is the key to survival. Only by defying the most sacred traditions, rejecting all he has been taught, and drawing upon the long-forgotten wisdom of the very first Sith can Bane hope to triumph — and forge from the ashes of that which he must destroy a new era of absolute dark power

On the distant planet Dorvalla, precious ore is mined by two competing companies: InterGalactic Ore and Lommite Limited. Neither rival suspects that they are central to a sinister plot masterminded by Darth Sidious, Lord of the Sith, himself. Dispatched by Sidious on his very first solo mission, Darth Maul infiltrates Lommite Limited. There, his unique gifts of deception and subterfuge will set off an explosive chain of events that could destroy both companies, leaving them ripe for takeover by the Trade Federation. But a vengeful Lommite Limited Manager with his own thirst for retaliation against InterGal could blow Maul's cover — and all of Sidious's fiendishly laid plans…

Danger stalked Queen Ehlana’s realm. When an ambassador from the far-off Tamul Empire begged for help, Sparhawk, Ehlana’s champion and Prince Consort, was the Emperor’s last hope. For surely the knight who had killed the evil God Azash could prevail against the terror in Tamul. But waiting for him was a glittering court seething with corruption, treachery—and the greatest danger Sparhawk would ever face!

Asins, meža, vīraku un eļļu smarža, miesas un nāves smārds ir burtiski līdz zosādai izjū­tams. Bruņu, zobenu žvadzoņa un kažokādu švīkstoņa ir dzirdama tepat blakus. Krāsas spilgtas un tēlu apraksts neuzbāzīgs, bet detaļās precīzi izveido raksturus, sejas, augumus. Šī grāmata pirmatnēji vienkārši, arhetipiski runā par cilvēcei bū­tiskākajām lietām: Drosmi, Godu, Ģimeni, Bailēm, Varaskāri, Atriebi, Iekāri…" Sandra Zvīgule, aktrise "Pēdējā laikā, lasot kādu grāmatu, nereti rodas sajūta, ka tiek lasīts jau sen zināms stāsts mainījušies tikai varoņu vārdi. Tādēļ arvien svarīgāk ir sajust rakstnieka pienesumu, viņa domas un idejas, viņa radītos tēlus un stāstus. Džordžs Mārtiņš to izdara ar glanci. Tas ir stāsts par naidu, mīlestību, kaisli vis­dažādākajās nozīmēs. Stāsts par karu un sadzīvi. Katrs šeit varēs atrast varoni, ar kuru pēcāk sevi identificēt.

Džordžs R. R. Martins Dziesma par ledu un uguni-5-1. Deja ar pūķiem. Rietmalā milzu soļiem ziema nāk, tādēļ romāna “Deja ar pūķiem” varoņi meklē iespējas, lai nokļūtu siltajos dienvidos, tuvāk Pūķu Karalienei Dinerīsai Tārgārjenai. Septiņas valstības ir ārkārtīgi nobriedis auglis iekarošanai, un atšķirībā no Rūža Boltona, kurš, iespējams, sapņo kļūt par Ziemeļu karali, un Stanisa Barateona, kurš cīņu par Dzelzs troni izcīna ziemeļos, Dinerīsa pirms došanās uz Rietmalu ar mainīgām sekmēm turpina cīnīties par pasaules iekārtas maiņu Vergu līčī. Romānā “Deja ar pūķiem” fiziski jūtama virzība un nojaušama atrisinājuma tuvošanās. Turklāt ir atgriezušies varoņi, kuru gaitām nespējām sekot “Vārnu dzīrēs Tīrions, Dinerīsa un Džons, kas padara šo sāgas daļu vēl labāk un kārāk lasāmu par iepriekšējām. . No angļu valodas tulkojis Allens Pempers Noskanējis grāmatu un failu izveidojis Imants Ločmelis imantslochmelis@inbox.lv WB Kamēr rūdīti sāgas "Dziesma par ledu un uguni" eksperti izsaka minējumus, ka gaidāma pavisam svaiga sāgas grāmata, kurā liela da|a notikumu būšot aprakstīti no Hodora skatpunkta, izmantojot Hodora valodas specifiskos izteiksmes līdzekļus, lasītāju rokās nonāk romāna "Deja ar pūķiem" pirmā daļa. Mēs jau esam pieraduši, ka šīs sāgas grāmatas nelutina ar kulmināciju. Katra atsevišķa kauja eskalē sižetu, katrā nodaļā ir frikciju paātrinājums, kas gan iztiek bez ejakulācijas, toties atstāj neskaitāmus jautājumus (sev, autoram, grāmatai) un tantriskas alkas lasīt tālāk. Neteikšu, ka "Deja ar pūķiem" literatūras teorijas ziņā idejiski atšķirtos no sāgas iepriekšējām grāmatām, taču šoreiz mēs fiziski jūtam vir­zību un nojaušam atrisinājuma tuvošanos. Varbūt tāpēc, ka ir atgriezušies varoņi, kuru gaitām nespējām sekot "Vārnu dzīrēs" Tīrions, Dinerīsa, Džons, bet varbūt tāpēc, ka sižeta līnija patiešām saasinās. "Deja ar pūķiem" man personiski šķiet vēl labāk un kārāk lasāma par iepriekšējām sāgas daļām. Visiem noteikti ir pazīstama tā neveiklā sajūta, kad, klausoties dziesmu, pie­dziedājumu tā arī nesagaidām bieži vien mēs pat spējam iztēloties, kādas piedzie­dājuma notis dziesmā būtu iekļaujamas. Līdzīgi ir grāmatā "Deja ar pūķiem" ja mēs tiktu pie rakstīšanas, tad gan zinātu, kādas dēkas piedēvēt varoņiem! Bet vai Džordžs Mārtiņš ar mums būs vienisprātis?

Susanna Klārka Džonatans Streindžs un misters Norels Anglija, 1806. gads. Jau gadu simteņiem Anglijā sevi par burvjiem dēvē džentlmeņi, kas ir tik vien kā knauzerīgi maģijas vēsturnieki — uzburt tie nespēj ne nieka vēršaci pašu brokastīm. Tomēr krāšņās pagātnes entuziastiem izdodas atklāt, ka viens īsts burvis Anglijā vēl ir atrodams: tas ir vecīgais savrupnieks misters Norels, kuram gan svarīgāk par nožēlojamu sadzīves buršanos šķiet pārliecināt britu lordus izmantot viņa spējas valsts labā — kaut vai karā ar Napoleonu. Taču, kamēr piesardzīgais, mūžam tramīgais misters Norels lauž ceļu uz valdības kabinetiem, no nekurienes uzrodas sāncensis: kāds Džonatans Streindžs, kurš ir jauns, gudrs, izskatīgs un nepazīst baiļu. Neviens pat nenojauš, pie kā var novest divu īstu burvju džentlmeniskās domstarpības… žurnāls Time atzinis par gada labāko romānu Hugo balva par labāko romānu fantāzijas žanrā 2005. Pasaules Fantāzijas balva par labāko romānu 2005. Ločus balva par labāko pirmo romānu 2005. British Book Avvards balva gada spožākajam jaunajam autoram Fiktīva zinātniska traktāta formā stilizēta alternatīva Eiropas vēsture, kur asprātīgā, aizraujošā pasaulē jautri un arīdzan ne tik jautri sadzīvo burvji un šarlatāni, vēsturiski personāži un elfi, komiķi un traģiķi, — pilns komplekts cilvēcisku dīvaiņu. Romāns rotaļa, kas gan uzjautrina, gan noskaņo apcerei par memento mori. Normunds Naumanis Susannas Klārkas maģija ir… absolūti reālistiska. Un autorei piemīt vēl viena reta spēja: viņa prot attēlot ļaunumu — viņa rok pārsteidzoši dziļi, aizsniedzoties līdz fantāzijas tumšajām, mezglainajām saknēm. žurnāls TIME Šī grāmata notver kā lamatās. Nesteidzīgais, humorpilnais vēstījums par 19. gadsimta angļu džentlmeņu dzīvi iemidzina modrību, liekot pasmaidīt par viņu ekscentrisko aizraušanos ar maģiju. Bet — tikai viens solis, un kopā ar grāmatas varoņiem šķērsota netveramā robeža starp realitāti un fantāziju, "īsto"un "izdomāto" vēsturi, saprātu un neprātu. No teiksmainās pasaules, kur "kļūst saprotama vēja, lietus un koku maģija", var arī nebūt atpakaļceļa, bet tā saglabā savu valdzinājumu līdz pat pēdējai lappusei.

Mientras Elayne y Nynaeve tratan de hacer funcionar el Cuenco de los Vientos, Perrin se dirige a Ghealdan para que la reina Alliandre respalde públicamente al Dragón Renacido. Rand continúa en Illian, intentando pacificar el país. El tan deseado cambio climático, propiciado por el Cuenco de los Vientos, provoca bruscos cambios de temperatura que dificultan el desplazamiento de tropas. Rand decide hacer frente a los seanchan en las costas de Ilian para frenar el avance del ejército invasor, pero además de al enemigo también tendrá que enfrentarse a la traición

Tras el ataque en el Palacio del Sol, Rand viaja con Min dejando pistas falsas a sus perseguidores. En Cairhien, Cadsuane continúa preparando la estrategia para la Última Batalla. Perrin organiza el rescate de Faile y en Tar Valon se suceden las intrigas de la Torre Blanca. Los seanchan han conquistado Ebou Dar y Mat se encuentra atrapado allí junto a sus compañeros. Mientras se encuentra convaleciente, planea su fuga, para lo que aprovechará la ausencia de Tylin. La situación se complica cuando se ve forzado a ayudar a tres Aes Sedai a las que las Suldam todavía no han detectado

Las fuerzas del mal se agitan y tienden sus garras sobre el mundo, al mismo tiempo que surgen señales que auguran la proximidad de la Ultima Batalla, donde ha de decidirse la suerte de la humanidad. Según afirman las profecías, en ella tendrá que luchar el Dragón Renacido para proteger a la Luz del avance de las Tinieblas. Padan Fain, un siniestro seguidor del señor de la Oscuridad, ayudado por las abominables criaturas que componen sus ejércitos, roba el Cuerno de Valere, un objeto decisivo para decantar la supremacía en el combate. Rand y sus amigos parten en su persecución en compañía de un pelotón de soldados del reino de Shienar. El largo y azaroso viaje los llevará hasta los confines del continente, donde al fin recuperan el Cuerno, y a cuya llamada acuden los héroes de todas las eras. Entretanto, Rand averiguará inquietantes detalles acerca de su origen y de su verdadera identidad, y la vorágine de los acontecimientos lo obligará a ocupar un lugar fundamental en el desenlace de la historia del mundo

El Dragón Renacido, el profético adalid que ha de salvar al mundo, el libertador que enloquecerá y matará a todos sus seres queridos, ha iniciado una carrera para huir de su destino. Rand al Thor es capaz de entrar en contacto con el Poder Unico, pero no puede controlarlo, ni tiene a nadie que le enseñe a hacerlo, pues ningún hombre lo ha conseguido desde hace tres mil años. Tiene la certidumbre que ha de enfrentarse al Oscuro, pero ¿cómo? Perrin Aybara va en busca de Rand, acompañado por Moraine Sedai, su Guardián, Lan, y Olial el Ogier. Acosado por extraños sueños, Perrin afronta otro problema insoluble: ¿cómo eludir la pérdida de su propia condición humana? Por su parte, Egwene, Elayne y Nynaeve se aproximan a Tar Valon, el lugar donde Mat será curado... si aún sigue vivo al llegar allí. Sin embargo, ¿quién comunicará a la Amyrlin la noticia de que el Ajah Negro existe realmente? Y en el Corazón de la Ciudadela aguarda la próxima gran prueba a la que debe someterse el Dragón Renacido

Cuando Robert Wolff encuentra el extraño cuerno en una casa deshabitada, halla en verdad la llave que habrá de franquearle un universo alucinante y distinto. Un soplo en el cuerno le abrirá la puerta del espacio-tiempo que ha de permitirle entrar en un cosmos cuyas dimensiones y leyes no tienen parangón alguno con el sistema que rige nuestra conocida galaxia. Ese otro universo es una conjunción de mundos, como escalonados uno encima de otro, accesibles mediante la ocasional resonancia del referido cuerno, hasta que Wolff se encuentra frente, cara a cara, con el cerebro creador de este otro sistema. Pero... ¿quién es en realidad este Señor, Hacedor de Universos? ¿Cuál es la verdad?

Rand Al’Thor y sus amigos disfrutan de una apacible vida en Campo de Emond hasta que Moraine, una joven misteriosa capaz de encauzar el Poder Único, llega al pueblo y anuncia el despertar de una terrible amenaza. Esa misma noche, Campo de Emond se ve atacado por espantosos trollocs. Mientras los habitantes del pueblo repelen el ataque, Moraine y su guardián ayudan a Rand y a sus amigos a escapar. La huida sólo será el comienzo de sus problemas, ya que Moraine, miembro de la antiquísima orden de las Aes Sedai, cree que Rand Al’Thor está destinado a desempeñar un papel protagonista en los acontecimientos que se avecinan y de los que dependerá la supervivencia del mundo

Rand se esfuerza por unir a las naciones para combatir al Oscuro al tiempo que sortea las trampas que los Renegados tienden a la desprevenida raza humana. Pero además tiene que enfrentarse a los Hijos de la Luz, cuyo capitán general se propone desprestigiarlo y dirigir la batalla contra la Sombra. Por su parte, las Aes Sedai buscan a Rand para ofrecerle su apoyo, aunque éste sospecha que su verdadera intención es usarlo para sus propios fines

Mat Cauthon huye con la hija de las Nueve Lunas mientras la Sombra y el imperio seanchan emprenden una persecución implacable. Por su parte, las Aes Sedai sienten un inmenso flujo de Poder en un lejano paraje del oeste y temen que sea obra de los Renegados o incluso de la propia Sombra. La heredera del Trono de Andor, rodeada de enemigos y de amigos siniestros que planean su destrucción, puede caer en manos de la Sombra y arrastrar consigo al Dragón Renacido, y Egwene al’Vere pone sitio al centro de poder Aes Sedai, pero ha de vencer con rapidez para evitar que los Asha’man sean los únicos capaces de defender el mundo del Oscuro. Tras limpiar la mitad masculina de la Fuente Verdadera, Rand al’Thor se ve obligado a correr grandes riesgos sin saber con certeza quiénes son sus aliados y quiénes son sus enemigos

All the glorious panorama of Earth's planetary twin, barbaric Gor, is present in John Norman's latest novel. When the shield ring of the much feared Kurii falls into the possession of a mysterious black explorer, it becomes vital to the Priest-Kings that Tarl Cabot himself regain that ancient product of an alien science. His quest brings him to the unmapped interior of the great equatorial rain-forests and into new dangers without parallel. Here are jungle kingdoms and tropical trade cities, fierce beasts and fiercer men. And at the heart of this full-bodied Gorean novel is a lost city - and a linkage of the loveliest enemy agents ever lured from the cities of far-off Terra
