""Der er noget på vej op af havet," advarede han sin søster. "Noget rigtig stort." Jaide så ud. Til at starte med kunne hun ikke se noget, men så kom strålen fra fyrtårnet fejende forbi og oplyste kortvarigt en enorm, monstrøs form, der var ved at trække sig selv op af det frådende hav for at komme op ad klippen. Tredive meter lange tentakler blev fulgt af en enorm oval krop på størrelse med en fisketrawler."Tvillingeparret Jack og Jaide er to helt almindelige børn i en helt almindelig forstad. Da deres far en dag vender hjem fra en af sine mange forretningsrejser, rører de ved et tilfælde en mystisk genstand i hans kuffert. Pludselig er der noget efter dem. Noget ondt. Og fra den dag er intet, som det var engang. Børnene er nødt til at flytte hjem til deres mystiske bedstemor i den lille kystby Portland. Her går det op for dem, at de ikke er som alle andre. Deres familie tilhører en hemmelig orden, der beskytter vores verden mod en ældgammel ondskab, og de to tvillinger besidder utæmmede magiske kræfter. Dem får de brug for nu, for ondskaben er fulgt efter dem til den lille by."Kaostvillinger" udkom oprindeligt i 2011.Kaostvillinger er første bind i de anerkendte forfattere Garth Nix og Sean Williams hæsblæsende nye fantasyserie.Den australske forfatter Garth Nix (f. 1963) er kendt og elsket for sine fantasifulde universer.

Klimaforandringerne er blandt de største udfordringer, menneskeheden står overfor. Alt tyder på at de accelererer, og hver ny fremskrivning tegner et mere dystert billede af klodens sande fremtidige tilstand. Naturligvis er det også en problemstilling, som science fiction-forfattere arbejder med, og i øvrigt har gjort gennem mere end hundrede år. Gennem det seneste halve århundrede er der i stigende grad tale om at science fiction-litteraturen diskuterer menneskets ansvar og mulighederne for at vende udviklingen.Mange fortællinger om klimakatastrofer og tiden derefter er dystre i udsynet, og er blevet kritiseret for negativitet. Men hvis en historie for alvor skal få læseren til at tænke over sagerne, nytter det ikke noget at lade problemerne løse sig af sig selv eller ved et eller andet mirakel. De bedste klimahistorier går ikke let hen over problemernes alvor.Til gengæld bliver der i stigende grad skrevet historier, der ganske vist tager klimaproblemerne alvorligt, men også forestiller sig måder at afbøde dem eller genetablere et menneskeligt samfund efter et eventuelt sammenbrud. Her viser science fiction en af sine styrker, nemlig teknologisk opfindsomhed, forbundet med ofte barsk realisme: Ingen siger at det bliver nemt, men der er stadig muligheder, stadigt håb. Strømningen er blevet kaldt hopepunk, og denne antologi rummer både historier af denne slags og af de mere dystre.Indhold:Kim Stanley Robinson: Det druknede VenedigMitch Sullivan: Kontoret for klimafaktaSam J.

In a remote city on the edge of two worlds, where blood has power and water is more precious than freedom, three far-flung friends unite on a quest to save their families. Sal Hrvati's estranged father has brought more into the world than the woman he loved. Instead of saving her from the Void Beneath, he has summoned an unknown creaturea creature with a mission of its own and a past that stretches back to the beginning of the world. The quest to find both of them entangles Sal and his companions in a hunt for magical treasure on the floor of the Divide, a mighty crack in the earth inhabited by creatures that are not remotely human. Desert landscapes and dirigibles feature in a fast-paced fantasy that combines romance, adventure, and humor with an original take on magic. The Books of the Cataclysm take inspiration from many arcane and mythological sources. In positing that this world is just one of many realms, three of which are inhabited by humans during various stages of their lives, it begins in the present world but soon propels the reader to a landscape that is simultaneously familiar and fantastic.

In the action-packed, drama-filled, politically incorrect sequel to The Last Man, The Last Man: Rise of the Pink Army picks up a few weeks after the events of the first book, with the introduction of various new characters and new theaters to the war. One thing becomes obvious to our antiheroes, everything comes with a price. Ian still continues his quest to become the man and leader he was born to be while slowly realizing that morality in this war is a sham; he understands this now completely, but is there anything left of the boy who would once jump through flaming hoops to help others? Mandy now faces a paradox, a powerful new ally who threatens not only her leadership of the Pink Army, but her relationship with Ian. From rocky beginnings in Ireland to war winning triumphs in North Africa and the Middle East, the battle between the Femtheists and the Pirates has now entered a new level of brutality and intensity, including a cliff-hanger that will leave readers on the edge of their seats waiting for the final bout.
