Zwarte Nevel: Boek II in de Chronicles of Kerrigan-serie.
by W. J. MayNiets is meer zoals het lijkt. Na het gruwelijke incident aan het einde van haar eerste jaar op Guilder Boarding School, is Rae Kerrigan vastbesloten om meer te leren over haar nieuwe tatoeage. Haar verwachtingen zijn hoog, een gemakkelijk seniorjaar en een gelukkige hereniging met Devon, de jongen die ze niet hoort te daten. Alle hoop op geluk verandert in verbrijzelde dromen op het moment dat ze terug stapt op de campus. Leugens en geheimen zijn overal, en een verraad raakt Rae diep. Onder haar conflicten en vijanden lijkt het alsof haar vader uit het graf reikt om haar leven te ruïneren. Omdat niemand te vertrouwen is, weet Rae niet waar of bij wie ze terecht kunnen voor hulp. Staat haar bestemming geschreven? Of zal ze het enige worden dat ze het meest haat - het wonderkind van haar vader. Dit is Boek II in de Chronicles of Kerrigan-serie.
Zwartbaards Revenge (De Reizen op de Queen Anne’s Revenge #2)
by Jeremy McLeanLof voor boek 1: “Ik bleef de pagina’s maar omslaan en omslaan, om te ontdekken wat er zou gebeuren.” -Teressa J Betts “...Als een scene uit de film van Indiana Jones.” - Alycia Tillman Revenge is een krachtige motivator. Het verandert de gelovigen in zondaars, de meest timide tot woede, en de meest deugdzame onder ons in koelbloedige moordenaars. Als het correct gebruikt wordt, kan het verlangen naar vergelding ook gebruikt worden als een hulpmiddel. Edward Thatch, de beginnende piraat die bekend staat als Zwartbaard, is uit op wraak. Wraak tegen degenen die zijn bemanningsleden en hemzelf onrecht aandoen. Voordat Edward zijn vergelding kan nemen, moet hij zijn schip, Freedom, ontgrendelen door het spel van Benjamin Hornigold te spelen. Edward moet nog drie tests uitvoeren om de laatste sleutels van zijn schip te bemachtigen. Hiervoor zal hij zijn lijf en ledematen, en dat van zijn bemanning, moeten riskeren om de beproevingen te doorstaan. Hoe ver zal Edwards verlangen naar wraak hem brengen, en in welke gevaren zal hij zijn bemanning plaatsen voor zijn Freedom? Ontdek welke actie Edward zal ondernemen in Zwartbaards Revenge, en volg zijn fantasie-avontuur vol piraten, kapers en alles daartussenin in de Reizen op de Queen Anne's Revenge!
Zwartbaards Freedom (De Reizen van Queen Anne's Revenge #1)
by Jeremy McLeanFantasy ontmoet geschiedenis en reilt en zeilt in dit alternatieve verhaal over hoe Zwartbaard de plaag van de zeeën is geworden. "Pirates of the Caribbean ontmoet Indiana Jones!" - James (Amazon.co.uk) Wat zou jij doen voor jouw vrijheid? Zou je stelen? Moorden? Sterven? Voor Edward Thatch, bestaat er geen twijfel over hoe ver hij zou gaan voor zijn vrijheid. “Ik bleef de pagina’s maar omslaan en omslaan, om te ontdekken wat er zou gebeuren.” -Teressa J Betts Edward had geen idee dat hij een voormalig piratenschip had gekocht. Als de marinierskapitein, Isaac Smith, dreigt om het schip, en zijn vrijheid van hem af te nemen, neemt hij het heft in eigen hand. Door Edwards actie wordt hij, samen met zijn beste vriend Henry Morgan, een voortvluchtige op een avontuur door het historische Caribisch gebied en Latijns-Amerika. De twee zullen niet alleen moeten vechten om in leven te blijven, maar ook om vrij te blijven tijdens de zogenaamde "Gouden Eeuw" van de piraterij. Edward ontdekt ook dat de helft van het schip dat hij kocht op slot zit. In plaats van sleutels, vinden ze raadsels en aanwijzingen achtergelaten door de vorige eigenaar. Edward en zijn bemanning moeten de raadsels oplossen, de aanwijzingen volgen, en een spel om leven en dood onder ogen zien voordat ze de sleutels van de rest van het schip kunnen claimen. En al die tijd ademt een zekere marine-kapitein in hun nek en richt zich op hun leven. Zullen Edward en Henry het leven omarmen dat hen is opgedrongen, of zullen ze tegen de rotsen van hun ongeluk botsen? Zie hoe de piraat Zwartbaard de plaag van de Caribische Zee en daarbuiten is geworden, en volg hem op zijn avonturen vol piraten, kapers en alles daartussenin in De reizen op de Queen Anne's Revenge!

Zones of Thought: A Fire Upon the Deep, A Deepness in the Sky
by Vernor VingeVinge's masterpieces together at last, in one epic volumeThe Hugo Award winning A FIRE UPON THE DEEP and its epic companion novel A DEEPNESS IN THE SKY, set in the same universe but 20,000 years earlier, were benchmarks for SF in the last decade of the 20th century. In FIRE 'Vinge presents a galaxy divided into Zones - regions where different physical constraints allow very different technological and mental possibilities. Earth remains in the "Slowness" zone, where nothing can travel faster than light and minds are fairly limited. The action of the book is in the "Beyond", where translight travel and other marvels exist, and humans are one of many intelligent species. One human colony has been experimenting to find a path to the "Transcend", where intelligence and power are so great as to seem godlike. Instead they release the Blight, an evil power, from a billion-year captivity.' Publisher's Weekly In DEEPNESS, 'the story has the same sense of epic vastness despite happening mostly in one isolated solar system. Here there's a world of intelligent spider creatures who traditionally hibernate through the "Deepest Darkness" of their strange variable sun's long "off" periods, when even the atmosphere freezes. Now, science offers them an alternative. Meanwhile, attracted by spider radio transmissions, two human starfleets come exploring - merchants hoping for customers and tyrants who want slaves. Their inevitable clash leaves both fleets crippled, with the power in the wrong hands, which leads to a long wait in space until the spiders develop exploitable technology. Over the years Vinge builds palpable tension through multiple storylines and characters.' Dave Langford
