A mind-blowing epic from Keanu Reeves and China Miéville, unlike anything these two genre-bending pioneers have created before, inspired by the world of the BRZRKR comic books. There have always been whispers. Legends. The warrior who cannot be killed. Who's seen a thousand civilizations rise and fall. He has had many names: Unute, Child of Lightning, Death himself. These days, he's known simply as B. And he wants to be able to die. In the present day, a U.S. black-ops group has promised him they can help with that. And all he needs to do is help them in return. But when an all-too-mortal soldier comes back to life, the impossible event ultimately points toward a force even more mysterious than B himself. One at least as strong. And one with a plan all its own. (immagine)

(W/A) Jonathan Rosenberg With webcomics like Penny Arcade and Megatokyo being published successfully in book format, the webcomics scene is fast becoming the red-hot incubator of comics talent. The Goats site (www.goats.com) has one of the most devoted followings on the web, and has more than 1.5 million hits a month. Goats' wicked, weird, and deliciously geeky sense of humor places it in the tradition of such cult favorites as Futurama and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - it's a major sci-fi parody epic. In Infinite Typewriters, two lowly techies are tasked with saving the universe from utter destruction. Along the way, they'll encounter cyborg goldfish, omnisexual aliens, satanic chickens, random celebrities, Mayan death gods, and the other strange and wonderful denizens of the Goats universe.

Grand Admiral Thrawn faces the ultimate test of his loyalty to the Empire in this epic Star Wars novel from #1 bestselling author Timothy Zahn. Thrawn has been one of the Empire's most effective instruments, pursuing its enemies to the very edges of the known galaxy. But as keen a weapon as Thrawn has become, the Emperor dreams of something far more destructive. Now, as Thrawn's TIE defender program is halted in favor of Director Krennic's secret Death Star project, he realizes that the balance of power in the Empire is measured by more than just military acumen or tactical efficiency. As Thrawn works to secure his place in the Imperial hierarchy, his former protégé Eli Vanto returns with a dire warning about Thrawn's homeworld. Thrawn's mastery of strategy must guide him through an impossible choice: duty to the Chiss Ascendancy, or fealty to the Empire he has sworn to serve. Even if the right choice means committing treason. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror
