Jay Kristoff strana 3 z 4

From the coauthor of the New York Times bestselling Illuminae Files comes the first book in a new series that's part Romeo and Juliet, part Terminator, and all adrenaline. On an island junkyard beneath a sky that glows with radiation, a deadly secret lies buried in the scrap. Seventeen-year-old Eve isn't looking for trouble--she's too busy looking over her shoulder. The robot gladiator she spent months building has been reduced to a smoking wreck, she's on the local gangster's wanted list, and the only thing keeping her grandpa alive is the money she just lost to the bookies. Worst of all, she's discovered she can somehow destroy machines with the power of her mind, and a bunch of puritanical fanatics are building a coffin her size because of it. If she's ever had a worse day, Eve can't remember it. The problem is, Eve has had a worse day--one that lingers in her nightmares and the cybernetic implant where her memories used to be. Her discovery of a handsome android named Ezekiel--called a "Lifelike" because they resemble humans--will bring her world crashing down and make her question whether her entire life is a lie. With her best friend Lemon Fresh and her robotic sidekick Cricket in tow, Eve will trek across deserts of glass, battle unkillable bots, and infiltrate towering megacities to save the ones she loves...and learn the truth about the bloody secrets of her past.

From bestselling author Jay Kristoff comes the second installment in the LIFEL1K3 trilogy--hailed by Marie Lu as "a breathless, action-packed exploration of what humanity really means." In the wake of a climactic battle in the ruined city of Babel, two former best friends suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the same quest. Eve is torn between the memories of the girl she was, and the synthetic she's discovered herself to be. Together with her lifelike "siblings" Mercy and Gabriel, Eve sets out to find the real Ana Monrova, whose DNA is the key to unlocking the supercomputer that will enable them to build an army of lifelikes. Meanwhile, Eve's best friend, Lemon, is coming to terms with a power that she has long denied--and that others want only to harness as a weapon. When she meets an intriguing boy named Grimm, he offers to lead her out of the horror-ridden landscape and to an enclave of other abnorms like herself. There, Lemon quickly finds a sense of belonging--and perhaps even love--among the other genetic deviates. But all is not what it seems, and with enemies and friends, heroes and villains wearing interchangeable faces, Lemon, too, will join the race to locate Ana Monrova before her former best friend can get to her.

Book two of the thrilling new series by internationally bestselling author of The Nevernight Chronicle and the Illuminae Files 'EVERY KIND OF BADASS' Laini Taylor

From the New York Times and internationally bestselling authors of The Illuminae Files comes a new science fiction epic... The year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the Academy would touch: A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates A smart-ass tech-whiz with the galaxy's biggest chip on his shoulder An alien warrior with anger management issues A tomboy pilot who's totally not into him, in case you were wondering And Ty's squad isn't even his biggest problem that'd be Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, the girl he's just rescued from interdimensional space. Trapped in cryo-sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth. But she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler's squad of losers, discipline-cases and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy. NOBODY PANIC.

Our heroes are back. Kind of. First, the bad news: an ancient evil-you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal-is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They've just got to take care of a few small distractions first. Like the clan of gremps who'd like to rearrange their favorite faces. And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who'll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri. Then there's Kal's long-lost sister, who's not exactly happy to see her baby brother, and has a Syldrathi army at her back. With half the known galaxy on their tails, Squad 312 has never felt so wanted. When they learn the Hadfield has been found, it's time to come out of hiding. Two centuries ago the colony ship vanished, leaving Auri as its sole survivor. Now, its black box might be what saves them-but time is short, and if Auri can't learn to master her powers as a Trigger, the squad and all their admirers are going to be deader than the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis IV. Shocking revelations, bank heists, mysterious gifts, inappropriately tight bodysuits, and an epic firefight will determine the fate of the Aurora Legion's most unforgettable heroes-and maybe the rest of the galaxy as well.

Itreyská republika se propadla do chaosu. Mia Corverová zavraždila kardinála Duoma a zvěsti o smrti konzula Scaevy se ženou ulicemi Božího hrobu jako vichřice. Mia a její bratr Jonnen musí projít hlubinami starodávné metropole a dostat se až k mystické Koruně Měsíce. Tam nemilosrdná vražedkyně konečně odhalí původ Temných a zjistí, co osud chystá pro ni i její svět. Ale tři slunce pomalu zapadají za obzor a přichází temnotma – může ji vůbec přežít?

Píše se rok 2380 a kadeti, kteří ukončili studia na Akademii Aurora, míří na první mise. Snaha Tylera Jonese hrát si na hrdinu způsobí, že na něj zbyde jen jednotka odpadlíků a problémových typů. A do toho je tu Aurora Jie-Lin O’Malleyová, dívka, která může spustit válku gigantických rozměrů. Tyova banda podivínů teď představuje jedinou naději celé galaxie. Nejsou to hrdinové, které si zasloužíme, ale ti jediní, co byli po ruce. Hlavně žádnou paniku.

The thrilling and heart-breaking conclusion to Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling Nevernight Chronicle. Pale Daughter. Kingmaker. Crow. A killer of kings. Gladiatii. Escaped slave. Infamous assassin. Mia Corvere is on the run. After winning the greatest games Godsgrave has ever seen and giving the gift of murder as her victor's speech, Mia is being hunted by every Blade of the Red Church and every soldier of the Luminatii legion. Her mentor Mercurio has been captured and Consul Julius Scaeva stands on the edge of total dominance over the Republic. Truedark approaches and if Mia is to have any hope of defeating Scaeva and saving her family, she must make a perilous journey across the Republic seeking the final answers to the riddle of her life. Night is falling on the Republic for perhaps the final time.

Dcera popraveného zrádce Mia Corverová se ukrývá ve městě postaveném z kostí mrtvého titána. Vydává se na cestu, aby se stala učednicí nejobávanějšího a nejtajemnějšího sdružení vrahů v celé zemi – Rudé církvi. I když vyniká v použití jedů a zbraní, nemůže ji to zachránit před spiknutím, které se na ni v temnotě chystá. Dokáže ho odhalit včas, než ji dostihne, a pomstít se těm, kteří můžou za smrt jejího otce?

The squad you love is out of time. Prepare for the thrilling finale in the epic, bestselling Aurora Cycle series about a band of unlikely heroes who just might be the galaxy's last hope for survival. Is this the end? What happens when you ask a bunch of losers, discipline cases and misfits to save the galaxy from an ancient evil? The ancient evil wins, of course. Wait . . . Not. So. Fast. When we last saw Squad 312, they were working together seamlessly (aka, freaking out) as an intergalactic battle raged and an ancient superweapon threatened to obliterate Earth. Everything went horribly wrong, naturally. But as it turns out, not all endings are endings, and the team has one last chance to rewrite theirs. Maybe two. It's complicated. Cue Zila, Fin and Scarlett (and Magellan!) making friends, making enemies and making history? Sure, no problem. Cue Tyler, Kal and Auri joining forces with two of the galaxy's most hated villains? Um, okay, yeah. That too. Actually saving the galaxy, though? Now that will take a miracle.

The thrilling finale of the LIFEL1K3 trilogy from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Nevernight Chronicle and The Illuminae Files. Best friends have become enemies. Lovers have become strangers. And deciding whose side you're on is a matter of life and death. For Eve and Lemon, discovering the truth about themselves - and each other - was too much for their friendship to take. As a new world war looms, they must navigate strained loyalties, unlikely alliances, and betrayals. Heartbreaking choices will reveal the true heroes... and they may not be who you think they are.

It has been twenty-seven long years since the last sunrise. For nearly three decades, vampires have waged war against humanity; building their eternal empire even as they tear down our own. Now, only a few tiny sparks of light endure in a sea of darkness. Gabriel de León, half man, half monster and last remaining silversaint – a sworn brother of the holy Silver Order dedicated to defending the realm from the creatures of the night – is all that stands between the world and its end. Now imprisoned by the very monsters he vowed to destroy, the last silversaint is forced to tell his story. A story of legendary battles and forbidden love, of faith lost and friendships won, of the Wars of the Blood and the Forever King and the quest for humanity’s last remaining hope: The Holy Grail.

But the last silversaint faces peril, within and without. Pursued by children of the Forever King, drawn into wars and webs centuries in the weaving, and ravaged by his own rising bloodlust, Gabriel may not survive to see the truth of the Grail revealed. A truth that may be too awful for any to imagine.
