It is a dark time for the world. Humanity is just crawling out from under 300 years of domination by the race of vampires known as the Nobility. The war against the vampires has taken its toll; cities lie in ruin, the countryside is fragmented into small villages and fiefdoms that still struggle against nightly raids by the fallen vampires - and the remnants of their genetically manufactured demons and werewolves.

No, I didn't kill the dead human. If I had, I wouldn't dump the body in the station mall. When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people—who knew?) Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans! Again!

In Antarctica, a research expedition discovers an ancient structure buried deep in the ice. In Indonesia, a genetics researcher identifies a breakthrough treatment for autism.

Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah—its former owner (protector? friend?)—submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit. But who’s going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue? And what will become of it when it’s caught?

Muy pocas veces alguien se atrevió a recomendar tan fervientemente una novela. "Merece vender más ejemplares que la Biblia", afirmó Rebel Inc., una insolente revista literaria escocesa. De inmediato celebrada por los críticos más estrictos pero leída también por aquellos que raramente se acercan a los libros, "Trainspotting" se convirtió en uno de los acontecimientos literarios y también extraliterarios de la última década.

Fue rápidamente adaptada al teatro y luego llevada a la pantalla por Danny Boyle, uno de los jóvenes prodigio del cine inglés...

Alcatraz Smedry ha derrotado al ejército de Bibliotecarios Malvados y ha logrado salvar el reino de Mokia.

Lo malo es que se las arregló para acabar con los Talentos de los Smedry en el proceso. Lo peor es que su padre está intentando llevar a cabo una treta que podría destruir el mundo, y su amiga Bastille está en coma. Para revivirla, Alcatraz debe infiltrarse en el Highbrary, la Biblioteca del Congreso de los Hushlanders, el lugar donde reside el poder de los Bibliotecarios Malvados.

Si la isla de Mokia cae, también podrían caer el resto de los Reinos Libres. Y entonces todo el mundo estaría bajo el dominio de los Bibliotecarios Malvados. ¿Logrará Alcatraz salvarlos a todos una vez más?

O al menos lo es en la ciudad de Nalhalla, en los Reinos Libres, donde los castillos son rascacielos y los taxis dragones. ¡Gente a la que nunca había visto le pide un autógrafo!

Pero la novedad de la fama se acaba pronto. Los Bibliotecarios Malvados han llegado a la ciudad con un tratado en el que solicitan que el reino de Mokia se rinda, y los regidores de los Reinos Libres parecen ansiosos por firmarlo. Lo peor es que los Caballeros de Cristalia han degradado a Bastille y se han llevado su espada y su armadura. Pero algo extraño está ocurriendo.
