Might makes right…

In their ongoing quest for new allies, Atlantis's flagship team travel to Halcyon, a grim industrial world where the Wraith are no longer feared — they are hunted. Horrified by the brutality of Halcyon's warlike people, Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard soon becomes caught in the political machinations of Halcyon's aristocracy. In a feudal society where strength means power, he realizes the nobles will stop at nothing to ensure victory over their rivals.

Meanwhile, Dr. Rodney McKay enlists the aid of the ruler's daughter to investigate a powerful Ancient structure, but McKay's scientific brilliance has aroused the interest of the planet's most powerful man — a man with a problem he desperately needs McKay to solve.

As Halcyon plunges into a catastrophe of its own making the team must join forces with the warlords — or die at the hands of their bitterest enemy…

Книга, написанная по сюжету игры Half-Life 2. Продолжает сюжет книги серии HL1

Новый роман знаменитой игровой вселенной "Halo"!

Впервые на русском языке полная история великого и трагического противостояния!

В кровавом сражении между людьми и ковенантами, разразившемся на мире-кольце Гало, все надежды человечества оказались возложены на одинокого воина-спартанца. Джон-117, больше известный как Мастер-Шеф, - один из немногих выживших в отчаянном, жестоком поединке за планету-крепость Предел.

Защитники Предела - последнего форпоста на пути ковенантов к сердцу человеческой цивилизации - не могли позволить превосходящим силам противника прорваться к Земле. У них было немного шансов. И среди них тот факт, что Предел был испытательным полигоном для создания первого поколения суперсолдат, лучших воинов Вселенной. Но даже лучшие воины Вселенной не бессмертны…

The most wanted salvage marine in the universe thought he was done fighting. He was wrong.

For Samuel Hyst the nightmare was over, left behind upon dead worlds and within the derelict ships drifting through space, he and his family having fled to the edges of the frontier to begin a new life of peace. In the aftermath of a violent raid by slave traders, the long suffering marine discovers that a relic of the ancient machine civilization has been left at the doorstep of his pristine forest homestead. He feels the menace radiating from it, and knows that the various powers and factions that rule necrospace will soon come for all of them. Samuel cuts a deal with Captain Dar of the freelance prospecting ship Rig Halo, who years ago saved Samuel’s wife and son from the trade war. Tension is high aboard the ship, as the Hyst family adjusts to being in the rough company of the Halo and a life on the run. As it turns out, the Rig is also a ship full of mercenaries, and once more Samuel finds himself with rifle in hand and squeezing the trigger just to stay alive.

The hunt has already begun and Grotto predators are closing in.

Их называют "сборщики пепла", потому что им приказано искать все, что осталось от цивилизации, погибшей более ста лет назад. Все, что может помочь выжить остаткам человечества, пережившим в убежищах ядерную зиму. Но руины прошлого — это еще один повод начать новую войну.

Год 2115, который не наступил. Мир, который был уничтожен. Люди — потомки тех поколений, которые в глубине убежищ рождались и умирали, никогда не увидев солнечного света. Но восьмидесятилетняя ядерная зима закончилась, и узники убежищ вышли на поверхность, чтобы получить в наследство жестокий мир, где свирепствуют смертельные болезни, хищники и безжалостные кланы Диких, идет тайная война между военными группировками за обладание научным и технологическим наследием прошлого, чудом уцелевшим после Катастрофы. Мир третьего ледникового периода, населенный мутантами, на которых охотится человек по имени Зих. И так уж обернется, что пути Зиха и таинственных "сборщиков пепла" — бойцов элитного постъядерного спецназа HEAVEN, — однажды пересекутся. У них разные цели, но цена победы или поражения велика — жизнь. Жизнь одного-единственного человека, и жизни всех, кто пережил ядерную зиму.

Centuries after World War III, humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe. Enter the Hell Divers—men and women who scavenge the surface for parts that keep their homes in the air. But there’s something down there—something that threatens the fragile future of humanity.

Helliconia is a planet that, due to the massively eccentric orbit of its own sun around another star, experiences seasons that lasts eons. Whole civilisations grow in the Spring, flourish in the Summer and then die in the brutal winters. The human-like inhabitants have been profoundly changed by their experience of this harsh cycle.

Whole civilisations grow in the Spring, flourish in the Summer and then die in the brutal winters. The human-like inhabitants have been profoundly changed by their experience of this harsh cycle. In orbit above the planet a terran mission struggles to observe and understand the effects on society of such a massive climatic impact. Massive, thoroughly researched, minutely organised, full of action, pulp references and deep drama this is a classic trilogy.

Iain M. Banks

‘A marvellous journey to another world — a remarkable feat of the imagination.’

With the defences of the Southern Appalachians sundered, the only thing standing between the ravening Posleen hordes and the soft interior of the Cumberland Plateau are the veterans of the 555th Mobile Infantry. Dropped into Rabun Pass, the only question is which will run out first: power, bullets or bodies.

When the world of Armageddon is attacked by orks, the Black

Templars Space Marine Chapter are amongst those sent to

liberate it. Chaplain Grimaldus and a band of Black Templars

are charged with the defence of Hive Helsreach from the

xenos invaders in one of many battlezones. But as the ork

numbers grow and the Space Marines dwindle, Grimaldus

faces a desperate last stand in an Imperial temple. Determined

to sell their lives dearly, will the Black Templars hold on long

enough to be reinforced, or will their sacrifice ultimately be in

vain?

Однажды утром в тишину обычного провинциального городка вмешиваются звуки стрельбы, крики и пугающее урчание. «Небось, какие-то беспорядки, полиция разберется» — подумает большинство и будет съедено одной из мерзких и быстро мутирующих тварей.

Андрей всю свою жизнь привык рассчитывать только на себя. Ему не раз приходилось выбираться из смертельно опасных передряг. Но теперь все иначе, ведь он не обладает никакой информацией о происходящем. Ему не ведомо, что на свежаков здесь охотятся не только мутанты, но и внешники, их приспешники муры, да и от обычных рейдеров пострадать тоже можно. К тому же, он несет ответственность не только за себя, но и за свою девушку Нику, которая совсем не подготовлена к реалиям Улья.

Удастся ли ему выжить и сохранить жизнь своей спутницы?

Atlantis has returned to Earth. The team members have dispersed and are beginning new lives far from the dangers of the Pegasus galaxy. They think the adventure is over.

They're wrong.

With the help of General Jack O'Neill, Atlantis rises once more — and the former members of the expedition must decide whether to return with her to Pegasus or to remain safely on Earth in the new lives they enjoy…

Picking up where the show's final season ended, STARGATE ATLANTIS Homecoming is the first in the exciting new STARGATE ATLANTIS Legacy series. These all new adventures take the Atlantis team back to the Pegasus galaxy where a terrible new enemy has emerged, an enemy that threatens their lives, their friendships — and the future of Earth itself.

Ryan Cawdor’s post holocaust odyssey across America is about to come full circle — Ryan Cawdor is going home.

Forced away from Front Royal years earlier by a power-mad brother who had already committed fratricide, Ryan had roamed a devastated America searching out the small pockets of life where civilization was being reborn.

Emerging from a gateway in the ruins of New York City, Ryan decides to put his own house in order — it’s time to avenge the deaths of his father and older brother.

Accompanied by Krysty Wroth and J.B. Dix, Ryan Cawdor comes face to face with the harsh reality of post holocaust America. In the Deathlands, honor and fair play are words of the past. Vengeance is a word to live by.

Duty. Honor. Country.

Three words that resound in the heart of the warrior. But what is duty when country is gone? Where does honor lie when allies are revealed as enemies, when friends are not who they seem and when enemies are the ones we love?

For Cally O’Neal and the O’Neal Bane Sidhe, underground fighters against the tyranny of Earth’s Darhel “allies,” duty lies in the overthrow of the established order. For Major General Michael O’Neal, her father, duty lies in maintaining that order to prevent a reinvasion by the dreaded Posleen.

When diamond meets diamond, when O’Neal battles O’Neal, the only sure outcome is fireworks.

When the hunted become hunters…

Ronon Dex is a mystery. His past is a closed book and he likes it that way. But when the Atlantis team triggers a trap that leaves them stranded on a hostile world, only Ronon’s past can save them — if it doesn’t kill them first.

As the gripping tale unfolds, we return to Ronon’s earliest days as a Runner and meet the charismatic leader who transformed him into a hunter of Wraith. But grief and rage can change the best of men and it soon becomes clear that those who Ronon once considered brothers-in-arms are now on the hunt — and that the Atlantis team are their prey.

Unless Ronon can out hunt the hunters, Colonel Sheppard’s team will fall victim to the vengeance of the V’rdai.

Heris Serrano—formerly a commander in the Regular Space Service—must take whatever job she can get after her resignation under a cloud. What she can get is the captaincy of a rich old lady’s space yacht... a rich old horsewoman, who has little liking for the military, and whose spoiled nephew Ronnie (and his equally spoiled friends) have been foisted on her after his folly embarrassed the family. Lady Cecelia’s only apparent interest is horses—she intends to go fox hunting on the private pleasure planet of a friend of hers, Lord Thornbuckle. But events conspire to make it far more than a fox hunt.
