Chaos and Order
by Stephen R. DonaldsonAs the planetoid Thanatos Minor explodes into atoms, a specially-fitted cruiser escapes the mass destruction and hurtles into space only a step ahead of hostile pursuit. On board Trumpet are a handful of bedraggled fugitives from an outlaw world - old enemies suddenly and violently thrown together in a desperate bid for survival. Among this unlikely crew of allies are Morn Hyland, once a UMC cop, now a prisoner to the electrodes implanted in her brain; her son, Davies, "force-grown" to adulthood by the alien Amnion and struggling to understand his true identity; the amoral space buccaneer Nick Succorso, whose most daring act of piracy could be his last; and Angus Thermopyle, unstoppable cyborg struggling to wrest control of his own mind from his UMC programmers.From the Paperback edition.

Chaos: Une romance paranormale de harem inversé (La bibliothèque des Profanes #1)
by Jb TrepagnierUne bibliothèque sentiente, un dieu primordial, et une bibliothécaire qui en a assez de vos absurdités. La Bibliothèque du Profane possède tout ce que votre cœur noir désire. Mais nous n'accordons pas de carte de bibliothèque à n'importe qui. Besoin de convoquer un démon ? De relever les morts ? Un clan de vampires qui vous dérange ? Vous appréciez l'érotisme de loup-garou particulièrement épicé ? La Bibliothèque du Profane a tout cela, mais tous ne peuvent pas gérer son contenu (Certaines personnes ne peuvent pas supporter leur érotisme de loup-garou). Cela fait cinq ans que je suis bibliothécaire ici et quand je dis que j'ai tué pour obtenir ce poste, je ne fais pas de l'humour noir. Vous ne pouvez pas emprunter nos livres. Certains d'entre eux sont sentients et n'apprécient guère cela. Nous avons des salles pour exécuter les sorts ou, par les temps qui courent, nous avons également une photocopieuse (les copies sont payantes). Quand une sorcière est entrée en disant qu'elle avait besoin de faire un peu de nécromancie, je ne l'ai pas remise en question. On ne lui aurait pas accordé de carte de bibliothèque si elle s'apprêtait à faire revenir quelqu'un de vraiment mauvais. J'ai aidé avec la nécromancie parce que c'est simplement mon rôle en tant que bibliothécaire. Sauf que ce n'était pas une résurrection normale. C'était l'incarnation physique du Chaos et quand il s'est réveillé, il m'a vue en premier et maintenant il est accro. Le Chaos personifié est un horrible invité de bibliothèque et il ne veut pas partir avec la sorcière qui l'a ramené. Il s'immisce constamment dans des affaires qui ne le concernent pas et il est vraiment friand de l'érotisme de loup-garou. Je ne peux pas le laisser sortir parce que la Bibliothèque du Profane est conçue pour contenir le Chaos. Le reste du monde ne l'est pas. Il est également désastreux pour garder son identité secrète.
