Depuis le drame qu'ils ont vécu, Valentina et Preto s’éloignent l'un de l'autre, pris au piège de leurs silences et de leurs blessures. Chacun tente de survivre à sa manière : elle, en fuyant la douleur, lui, en sombrant dans la vengeance. Pendant ce temps, le cartel menace de s'effondrer, car leur ennemi invisible complote toujours dans l’ombre. Les alliances se brisent, les trahisons s’accumulent, et la guerre vient détruire leur seul refuge, Isla Mujeres. Le sang appelle toujours le sang. Avant de pouvoir guérir, il leur faudra se battre... Une dernière fois.

Pendant ce temps, rien ne semble pouvoir arrêter l'ascension fulgurante de Preto. Son ambition le pousse à ignorer tous les avertissements, quitte à attiser la convoitise de nouveaux ennemis. Au cœur de cette escalade de violence, Preto n'a pas peur de défier Angel Cortès pour récupérer celle qu'il n'arrive pas à oublier. Et s'il peut en profiter pour prendre son trône et contrôler le trafic de drogue au Mexique, il n'hésitera pas à rendre cette guerre plus que sanglante.

Depuis le décès de leur mère adorée, chacune des soeurs Scott est retournée à son train-train quotidien. Convoquées à Wilmington par leur père pour passer le 31 décembre en famille, elles s'attendaient à tout… sauf à une soirée faite de révélations, d'amour et de chaos.

My name is James Thorne, and I wasn't supposed to matter. Before the invasion, I was just a guy in a dead-end job, keeping my head down and my past buried. The Gehenna want our annihilation. Thankfully, they angered the Aetherion who may help humanity not only fight back, but turn the tide. When I’m offered the chance to be Cleansed, to become something more than I was, I take it. And it turns out I’m special. No, I’m not the Chosen One. And yes, there are others like me, but as a Psyker, I can do things most can't. Things that make me very dangerous.

Jonathan Strahan, the award-winning and much lauded editor of many of genre's best known anthologies, is back with his 11th volume in this fascinating series, featuring the best science fiction and fantasy. With established names and new talent, this diverse and ground-breaking collection will take the listener to the outer reaches of space and the inner realms of humanity with stories of fantastical worlds and worlds that may still come to pass.

After narrowly surviving my debut into the magical world, I made a promise to myself: no more hiding in broom closets. But with the Mages’ Guild reorganizing faster than anyone thought possible, and naming me as their number one target, that promise seems a little far-fetched. Especially since my training with Callie and Dizzy, the highly experienced dual-mage pair, goes off like a cake in a cannon. Left to find someone that can fill the role, it isn’t until a formal dinner party goes horribly wrong that I find the best (and worst) solution imaginable: Reagan Somerset.

Something has always been missing from my life. A hole that I could never seem to fill. When I accidentally turn a coven of witches into nightmares, I find out what that something is. Magic. And it turns out, I have a crap load of it. As a latent power awakens deep inside of me, I’m exposed to one of the most powerful and corrupt organizations in the magical world—the Mages’ Guild. Barely knowing a spell from a few swear words and luck, I won’t be able to evade them alone. And that’s when I meet him.

One thing has become perfectly clear: The Mages’ Guild won’t stop coming for me until I am either under their control, or dead. So rather than wait to be cornered…I’m going to take the fight to them. But Emery and I can’t do it alone. We have to assemble enough power in the magical world to rip the Guild off of their high horse. And to do that, we’ll need the shifters as well as the vampires. Except, shifters and vampires would rather kill each other than work together. And after a surprise run-in with a strangely powerful goblin, my world is slapped sideways.

Reagan's trip down to the underworld was never going to remain a mystery. And now Lucifer is actively looking for the woman and her vampire cohort that raised hell in his domain. When a band of demons come to the surface with a note asking after Lucifer's heir, the truth of Reagan's true lineage can no longer be hidden. The problem is, the elves remember Lucifer's past heir, and how he nearly took down the Realm. This time, they do not intend to stand by while Lucifer finds his heir and raises her to power. This time, they'll cut the problem out at the root.

With Lucifer wanting revenge and the elves desperate to hold onto their power, a battle is inevitable. The question is, which side will Reagan choose? The elves have treated her and her friends badly. Lucifer held her captive. Will she claim revenge…or will she seek to help balance the worlds? Is that even possible? Regardless, she’s not one to back away from trouble. As the worlds heat up and fates are realized, Regan’s future is anything but decided.

After a life of hiding and laying low so as not to end up trapped in the Underworld, that's exactly where Reagan finds herself. It could be worse, though. She could've had a hostile father as her jailor instead of a man eager to teach her magic. She might've been trapped with someone other than the steadfast Druid. She could've gone her whole life without riding a dragon! When push comes to shove, maybe the Underworld isn't so bad. Or maybe Lucifer is doing what he does best—deceiving her to get what he wants.

My name’s James Thorne. I used to be someone, once—Psyker, Apex-ranked, battle-tested. Now I’m just another ghost drifting through the black, looking for somewhere quiet to land. We find Dresen. Dust-choked, half-dead mining town on the edge of nowhere. It looks like peace. Smells like rot. The local militia’s too clean. Their weapons are too new. And the mines? Something down there still breathes. Worse, it’s hungry.

I’m James Thorne—Level 25 Psyker Apex—and I’m bouncing back from a pretty catastrophic battle on Rithos. The thing is, I’m stranded deep within a hostile jungle crawling with things that want to eat me. I’m going to survive this jungle. I’m going to survive the Emperor. And I’m absolutely not going down quietly.

Als 1727 "Gullivers Reisen" von Jonathan Swift erschien, ahnte bestimmt niemand, dass dieser als zeitgenössische politische Satire gemeinte Roman ein Welterfolg als Kinderbuch werden würde. Dieser Erfolg ist Gulliver treu geblieben und hat ihm - zu seinem und dem Ruhm seines geistigen Vaters und uns zur Freude - dieses Hörspiel beschert. Noch einmal erleben wir Gullivers aufregende Abenteuer bei den Zwergen und bei den Riesen - und wieder streifen wir mit ihm durch Liliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa und Lagado. Durch alle Kontinente der phantastischen Welt des Dichters Jonathan Swift.
