Esther Crossland did what she had to do, but it has left a trail of destruction in her wake. Now the wrecked ship is abandoned. Its inhabitants are in exile, trapped in sprawling make-shift shelters made up of warehouse, tents, shipping containers.
Esther and Nik, architects of the rebellion, are on the run. Esther is in hiding, desperate to do something to help her people, and Nik seems to have abandoned all hope, on a journey taking him further and further from home. And neither of them want to face up to their true feelings about one another . . .

Edgar Allan Poe was a writer of uncommon talent; in The Murders in the Rue Morgue he created the genre of detective fiction while his genius for finding the strangeness lurking within us all has been an influence on everyone from Freud to Hollywood. This complete collection of all his short stories and novellas contains well-known tales 'The Pit and the Pendulum' and 'The Tell-Tale Heart' alongside hidden gems that both unsettle and enthrall the reader.
On an epic voyage far beyond the Republic, the Jedi will confront their most extraordinary enemy-and test the limits of honor and sacrifice against their most devastating challenge. . . .
The Clone Wars have yet to erupt when Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth petitions the Senate for support of a singularly ambitious undertaking: the dream of Outbound Flight. Six Jedi Masters, twelve Jedi Knights, and fifty thousand men, women, and children will embark-aboard a gargantuan vessel, equipped for years of travel-on a mission to contact intelligent life and colonize undiscovered worlds beyond the known galaxy.
Unknown to the famed Jedi Master, the successful launch of the mission is secretly being orchestrated by an unlikely ally: the evil Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, who has his own reasons for wanting Outbound Flight to move forward.
Yet Darth Sidious is not the mission's most dangerous challenge. Once underway, the starship crosses paths at the edge of Unknown Space with the forces of the alien Chiss Ascendancy and a brilliant mastermind named Thrawn. Even Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, aboard Outbound Flight with his young Padawan student, Anakin Skywalker, cannot help avert disaster. Thus what begins as a peaceful Jedi mission is violently transformed into an all-out war for survival against staggering odds-and the most diabolical of adversaries.
The specter of the meancing Grand Admiral Thrawn looms over Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade as they embark on a journey to recover an important piece of Jedi history.
Sometimes it seems a Jedi's work is never done and Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker know this only too well. Despite the bond they share in the Force, after three years of marriage the Jedi Master and his wife are still learning the ropes of being a couple-and struggling to find time together between the constant demands of duty. But all that will change when they're united on an unexpected mission: They must pool their exceptional skills to combat an insidious enemy and salvage a part of Jedi history.
Whatever may await, the Skywalkers will not face it alone. Joining them on the strange and solemn journey are an officer of the post-Palpatine Empire, escorted by a detachment of Imperial stormtroopers; a party of diplomats from a gentle alien species that reveres the fallen Jedi for saving them from bloodthirsty conquerors; and a New Republic ambassador who harbors his own mysterious agenda.
Soon enough, suspicion, secrecy, and an unknown saboteur run rampant aboard the isolated ship. But it is within the derelict walls of Outbound Flight itself, buried for half a century on a desolate planetoid, where the gravest danger lies. As the marooned hulk yields up stunning revelations and unexpected terrors to its visitors, Luke and Mara find all they stand for-and their very existence-brutally challenged. And the ultimate test will be surviving the deathtrap carefully laid by foes who are legendary for their ruthlessness . . . and determined to complete the job Thrawn began: exterminating the Jedi.

However things start to get more complicated when she meets her brooding mentor, Jordan.
Nothing is quite as it seems in the Order and it isn't long until Quell realises her enemies may be closer than she thinks . . .

Featuring two of Philip Pullman's best-loved characters, this is an adventure-filled short story that builds on the world of His Dark Materials and The Book of Dust.
Published as a 'shilling shocker', Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with 'damnable young man' Edward Hyde, the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer, and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil. The other stories in this volume also testify to Stevenson's inventiveness within the gothic genre: 'Olalla', a tale of vampirism and tainted family blood, and 'The Body Snatcher', which shows the murky underside of medical practice.

TRZYNAŚCIE OPOWIEŚCI GROZY FRANCUSKIEGO MISTRZA NOWELISTYKI
Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) nie miał sobie równych w tworzeniu genialnych opowiadań. I pisząc opowieści grozy, tylko potwierdził tę klasę. A w historii gatunku zapisał się jako autor legendarnej noweli „Horla”. I nie można sobie wyobrazić żadnej antologii francuskich opowieści niesamowitych bez tego utworu. Już samo jego powstanie jest intrygujące. Bo znany jest w... trzech wersjach! Najpierw jako „List szaleńca”, potem jako klasyczna opowieść, która nie zadowoliła jednak autora, więc rozwinął tę historię, zmieniając sposób narracji na zapis z dziennika. W wyborze nowel francuskiego mistrza oprócz tych trzech wersji „Horli” przedstawiamy dziesięć innych opowiadań – równie zaskakujących i oryginalnych, zwłaszcza gdy uświadomimy sobie, że od ich powstania minęło półtora wieku...
A divided realm must rally, an unstoppable enemy must be defeated, and the fate of the world rests on a blade's edge.
Andry, a former squire, fights for hope amid blood and chaos.
Dom, a grieving immortal, strives to fulfill a broken oath.
Sorasa, an outcast assassin, faces her past when it returns with sharpened teeth.
Valtik, an old sorceress, summons a mighty power.
And Corayne, a pirate's daughter with an ancient magic in her blood, steps closer to becoming the hero she's destined to be.
Together they must assemble an army to face Queen Erida and Taristan's wicked forces. But something deadly waits in the shadows, something that might consume the world before there's any hope for victory.
The follow-up to the instant #1 New York Times bestselling Realm Breaker features breathless action, deadly twists, and gripping magic. Perfect for fans of THE CRUEL PRINCE, SIX OF CROWS and THE HUNGER GAMES.
To jeden z najlepszych współczesnych horrorów. Nastrój grozy i napięcia potęguje się w niej z każdą minutą. Pięcioletni chłopiec Danny znalazł się z rodzicami w opustoszałym na zimie hotelu. Wrażliwe, obdarzone zdolnościami wizjonerskimi dziecko odbiera fluidy czające się w jego murach; były one świadkami krwawych porachunków świata przestępczego i milionerów. Straszliwe zdarzenia, które kończą fabułę, są jednak niczym w porównaniu z przejściami psychicznymi bohaterów.
Do czego się posuniesz, by chronić swoje dziecko? W świecie dotkniętym kryzysem bezpłodności ostatnie naturalne narodziny zdarzyły się ponad dwadzieścia lat temu. Obecnie jedyną drogą do poczęcia jest przejście bolesnego procesu indukcji. Wszystkie noworodki są ściśle monitorowane, a ich rodzice muszą przestrzegać drobiazgowych reguł, bo jeśli państwo uzna ich za niezdolnych do pełnienia obowiązków rodzicielskich, dziecko zostanie poddane ekstrakcji i umieszczone w jednym ze specjalnych kompleksów. Kit widziała już wielu rodziców, którzy stoczyli heroiczną walkę: najpierw by spłodzić, a potem zatrzymać potomstwo. Sądziła więc, że nie chce zostać matką. Jednak gdy poznała Thomasa, urodziła im się Mimi. Wkrótce kumulacja drobnych błędów sprawia, że groźba ekstrakcji staje się coraz bardziej realna, a Kit musi zdecydować, jak daleko jest gotowa się posunąć, by nie dopuścić do utraty dziecka i rozpadu rodziny. „Opowieść podręcznej” w futurystycznych realiach. - Sarah Langan, autorka powieści „Dobrzy sąsiedzi” Trzymająca w napięciu opowieść o miłości i determinacji. - Deirdre Sullivan, autorka powieści „Perfectly Preventable Deaths” Doskonale oddaje siłę miłości i wynikający z niej strach. - Dave Rudden, autor serii „Rycerze pożyczonego mroku” Pełen napięcia thriller, jest w nim wszystko. - Emily Koch, autorka powieści „Czy umrę, nim się zbudzę?” Mocna i głęboko poruszająca, spadkobierczyni „Nie opuszczaj mnie” Kazuo Ishiguro i „Roku 1984” George’a Orwella. - Tim Major, autor powieści „Hope Island” Mroczna, piękna i słodko-gorzka.

Rozpoczyna się kolejna przygoda z okresu Wielkiej Republiki, rozgrywająca się wiele pokoleń przed „Światłem Jedi”. To era eksploracji. Jedi przemierzają galaktykę, pogłębiając swoje zrozumienie Mocy oraz wszystkich światów i istot, które ona łączy. Tymczasem Republika, dowodzona przez dwoje kanclerzy, stara się jednoczyć planety we wciąż rosnącej społeczności pośród gwiazd – zarówno tych pobliskich, jak i odległych. Orbitujące blisko siebie światy Eiram i E’ronoh dotkliwie odczuwają bolączki galaktyki: niedobór zasobów, przy wciąż rosnących galaktycznych ambicjach. Nienawiść, jaką żywią wobec siebie, podsyca eskalujący od połowy dekady konflikt, który grozi teraz rozprzestrzenieniem się na sąsiednie układy. Ostatnia nadzieja na pokój leży w dziedzicach rodów królewskich obu planet, którzy chcą się ze sobą pobrać. Nim jednak udaje się zawrzeć trwały rozejm, próba zamachu wymierzona w parę wprowadza Eirama i E’ronoh ponownie w stan wojny. Aby ocalić światy, rycerka Jedi Gella Nattai zgłasza się na ochotniczkę, aby przeprowadzić śledztwo w tej sprawie, podczas gdy kanclerz Kyong wyznacza swojego syna, Axela Greylarka, aby towarzyszył jej jako reprezentant Republiki. Jednak głęboka nieufność Axela wobec Jedi ściera się z silną wiarą Gelli w Moc. Dziewczyna nigdy wcześniej nie miała do czynienia z tak zadufanym w sobie lekkoduchem, on zaś nigdy nie spotkał tak poważnej i nieugiętej krzewicielki dobra. Im usilniej starają się rozwikłać mroczne wątki spisku, tym bardziej wydaje się on skomplikowany. Pośród licznych oskarżeń i potencjalnych wrogów czających się w cieniach, ta dwójka będzie musiała współpracować ze sobą ściśle, jeśli chcą sprawić, aby prawda wyszła na światło dzienne, i ocalić dwa światy…
