City of the Uncommon Thief

A dark and intricate fantasy, City of the Uncommon Thief is the story of a quarantined city gripped by fear and of the war that can free it."Guilders work. Foundlings scrub the bogs. Needles bind. Swords tear. And men leave. There is nothing uncommon in this city. I hope Errol Thebes is dead. We both know he is safer that way." In a walled city of a mile-high iron guild towers, many things are common knowledge: No book in any of the city's libraries reveals its place on a calendar or a map. No living beasts can be found within the city's walls. And no good comes to the guilder or foundling who trespasses too far from their labors. Even on the tower rooftops, where Errol Thebes and the rest of the city's teenagers pass a few short years under an open sky, no one truly believes anything uncommon is possible within the city walls. But one guildmaster has broken tradition to protect her child, and now the whole city faces an uncommon threat: a pair of black iron spikes that has the power of both sword and needle on the rib cages of men has gone missing, but the mayhem they cause rises everywhere. If the spikes are not found, no wall will be high enough to protect the city—or the world beyond it. And Errol Thebes? He's not dead and he's certainly not safe.

City without End (The Entire and the Rose #3)

In this series Kay Kenyon has created her most vivid and compelling society yet, the universe Entire. Reviewers have called this "a grand world," "an enormous stage," and "a bravura concept."On this stage unfolds a mighty struggle for dominance between two universes. Titus Quinn has forged an unstable peace with the Tarig lords. The ruinous capability of the nanotech surge weapon he possesses ensures détente. But it is a sham. In what the godwoman Zhiya calls "a fit of moral goodness," he's thrown the weapon into the space-folding waters of the Nigh. This clears the way for an enemy he could have never foreseen: the people of the Rose. A small cadre led by Helice Maki is determined to take the Entire for itself and leave the earth in ruins. The transform of earth will begin deep in a western desert and will sweep over the lives of ordinary people, entangling Quinn's sister-in-law Caitlin in a deepening and ultimate conspiracy.In the Entire, Quinn stalks Helice to the fabled Rim City, encircling the heart of the Entire. Here he at last finds his daughter, now called Sen Ni, in the Chalin style. Outside of earth-based time, she has grown to adulthood. He hardly knows her, and finds her the mistress of a remarkable dream-time insurgency against the Tarig lords--and more, a woman risen high in the Entire's meritocracy. Quinn needs his daughter's help against the woman who would destroy the earth. But Sen Ni has her own plans and allies, among them a boy-navitar unlike any other pilot of the River Nigh--a navitar willing and supremely able to break his vows and bend the world. Quinn casts his fate with the beautiful and resourceful Ji Anzi who--sent on a journey to other realms--holds the key to Quinn's heart and his overarching mission. But as he approaches the innermost sanctuary of the Tarig, he is alone. Waiting for him are powerful adversaries, including a lady who both hates and loves him, the high prefect of the dragon court, and Quinn's most implacable enemy, a warrior whose chaotic mind will soon be roused from an eternal slumber.

City: Grotto Of The Dancing Deer And Other Stories, Heritage Of Stars, And City (The\works Of Clifford D. Simak Ser.)

Intelligent canines in a far-future city preserve the legends and lore of their absent human masters Thousands of years have passed since humankind abandoned the city--first for the countryside, then for the stars, and ultimately for oblivion--leaving their most loyal animal companions alone on Earth. Granted the power of speech centuries earlier by the revered Bruce Webster, the intelligent, pacifist dogs are the last keepers of human history, raising their pups with bedtime stories, passed down through generations, of the lost "websters" who gave them so much but will never return. With the aid of Jenkins, an ageless service robot, the dogs live in a world of harmony and peace. But they now face serious threats from their own and other dimensions, perhaps the most dangerous of all being the reawakened remnants of a warlike race called "Man." In the Golden Age of Asimov and Heinlein, Clifford D. Simak's writing blazed as brightly as anyone's in the science fiction firmament. Winner of the International Fantasy Award, City is a magnificent literary metropolis filled with an astonishing array of interlinked stories and structures--at once dystopian, transcendent, compassionate, and visionary.

Citónica (Escuadrón #Volumen 3)

La esperada continuación de Escuadrón y Estelar, la épica saga de Brandon Sanderson sobre una chica que viaja más allá de las estrellas para salvar el mundo que ama de la destrucción. La vida de Spensa como miembro de la Fuerza de Defensa Desafiante dista mucho de ser normal y corriente. Demostró ser una de las mejores pilotos de caza estelar en el enclave humano de Detritus y salvó a su pueblo del exterminio a manos de los krells, la enigmática especie alienígena que los tenía prisioneros desde hace décadas. Por si fuera poco, viajó a años-luz de distancia de su hogar como espía infiltrada en la Supremacía, a un lugar donde descubrió que había toda una galaxia más allá de su pequeño y desolado planeta natal. Ahora la Supremacía, el gobierno galáctico empecinado en dominar toda vida humana, ha desatado una guerra a escala galáctica. Y Spensa ha visto las armas que pretenden emplear para terminarla: los zapadores, unas antiguas y enigmáticas fuerzas alienígenas que pueden arrasar sistemas estelares enteros en un instante. Spensa sabe que, por muchos pilotos con los que cuente la FDD, no hay manera de derrotar a ese depredador. Sin embargo, Spensa es citónica. Se enfrentó a un zapador y percibió algo siniestramente familiar en él. Y quizá, si logra descubrir lo que es ella misma, podría ser algo más que solo otra piloto en la guerra. Podría salvar la galaxia. Pero la única manera de que Spensa descubra su verdadera naturaleza es dejar atrás todo lo que conoce y entrar en la ninguna-parte, un lugar del que muy pocos han regresado jamás. Tener valor significa afrontar el miedo. Y esta misión es aterradora. Sobre Escuadrón (mejor libro del año según Kirkus Reviews):«Revelaciones sorprendentes y consecuencias trascendentales... Es evidente que Sanderson se lo pasó pipa con esta primera novela de altos vuelos y ritmo frenético, y los lectores también lo harán.»Kirkus Reviews «En este primer volumen repleto de acción, Sanderson presenta a una heroína ingeniosa e intrépida, acompañada de un reparto memorable... [y] después de que la emocionante historia gane intensidad y revele sus secretos, el final nos plantea la siguiente entrega.»Publishers Weekly «Es imposible pasar las páginas lo bastante rápido.»Booklist«Sanderson nos ofrece una aventura cinematográfica que explora los aspectos definitorios del individuo frente a la sociedad... No decepcionará a sus lectores acérrimos.»SLJ Sobre Estelar (secuela de Escuadrón):«Nadie se lo pasa mejor escribiendo ni describe mejor los combates de cazas espaciales... Leed el primer libro por diversión o disfrutad del segundo por sí mismo.»Booklist
