Brandon Sanderson strana 5 z 15

SLUNEČNÍ VÝSPA Zatímco se Spensa přesunula na svou výpravu do území nikoho, její přátelé z Nebeské letky brání Detritus z plošiny Rozkvět proti přesile útočníků, kterou vyslala Nejvyšší instance. Jejich jediná šance na záchranu je získat hyperpohon, a aby uspěli, musí využít jediného cytonika, který zde zůstal, Jorgena. A získat si důvěru slimáků, což je úkol pro empatickou FM. NOVÝ ÚSVIT Nebeská letka se vydává na pomoc Alanik na Nový úsvit, kterým zmítá spor mezi dvěma politickými frakcemi. Nejvyšší instance chce vytvořit z planety UrDailů závislou kolonii, ale díky nově objeveným schopnostem taynixů, Jorgenovým cytonickým dovednostem i Šmodrchově důmyslu se však lidé v čele s Alanik Stanou pro Nejvyšší instanci rovnocenným soupeřem. NEKONEČNÝ BŘEH Obranné síly Vzdorovitých zachytí signál z planety kitsenů. Výprava přivádí Nebeskou letku nejen na stopu zmizelého Cobba, ale i k záhadnému portálu do území nikoho. Vyslanci Detritu mají šanci na uzavření další galaktické aliance pro boj s Nejvyšší instancí. Proti technicky zdatnému nepříteli je však možné uspět jen se špičkovými cytonickými schopnostmi.

#1 New York Times Bestselling author Brandon Sanderson brings us deeper into the Cosmere Universe with a standalone adventure that will appeal to fans of The Princess Bride. The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie. But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?

In Sunreach, after a planet-destroying Delver suddenly appears in the sky of Detritus and vanishes just as suddenly, FM knows that the last free human society got lucky. Her Skyward Flight companion Spensa figured out how to draw this Delver away, but it won't be so easy next time. Humanity has to be prepared... In ReDawn, Alanik has recovered from the shock of answering a distress call and finding a planet of humans making a stand against the Superiority, only to be dismayed to discover they're considering a peace overture from their enemy. Worse, when she returns to her home planet of ReDawn, she find her own people falling into exactly the same trap. With her mentor captured, she turns to her new friends to help: can Alanik, FM, Jorgen and Rig coax an ancient technology into life in time to save both their planets from disaster? And in Evershore, the government of Detritus is still in disarray following Superiority treachery, and no word has come from Spensa, on her mission deep in the Nowhere, leaving Alanik, Jorgen, FM and Rig to pick up the pieces. So when the Kitsen send word from the planet Evershore, saying they have some humans and wish to return them, they have to decie if the strange message can be trusted... A gripping collection of novellas, told from the perspectives of three different characters, these superb adventures are essential Skyward reading!

Po vytvoření koalice lidských království proti invazi nepřátel tráví DalinarKholin a jeho rytířský Paprsek rok ve zdlouhavé a brutální válce, která nemá vítěze. Každý strategický tah spojenců je ohrožen hrozbou Taravangianovy zrady. Zatímco objevy badatelského týmu Navani Kholinové pomalu začínají charakter války měnit, nepřítel se chystá na rozsáhlou a nebezpečnou operaci. Závody ve zbrojení, které následují, mění samotné jádro ideálů Paprsku a poodhalují tajemství starodávné věže, která kdysi bývala centrem jejich síly. Kaladin Bouří požehnaný se mezitím vyrovnává se svou měnící se rolí v Rytířském Paprsku a větroborci čelí novému problému: zatímco se probouzejí noví a zákeřní Žhnoucí a zapojují se do války, spreni odmítají svazky s člověkem, které by posílily řady Rytířského Paprsku. Adolin se Šalán se tedy vydávají jako vyslanci Paprsku do pevnosti ctisprenů ve Stínomaru a na výsledku jejich diplomatického jednání do značné míry závisí budoucí existence lidstva.

Spensa's life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell - the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. What's more, she travelled light-years from home as a spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home. Now, the Superiority - the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life - has started a galaxy-wide war. And Spensa has seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant. Spensa knows that no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there is no defeating this predator. Except that Spensa is Cytonic. She faced down a Delver and saw something eerily familiar about it. And maybe, if she's able to figure out what she is, she could be more than just another pilot in this unfolding war. She could save the galaxy. The only way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere. A place from which few ever return. To have courage means facing fear. And this mission is terrifying.

Now in paperback for the first time, featuring all new covers, the Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians middle-grade series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson. Sneaking into the evil Librarian cult HQ! So there I, Alcatraz Smedry, was, tied to an altar made from outdated encyclopedias, about to get sacrificed - wait, you’ve heard that before? Oh yeah, I wrote it at the beginning of my first book. Well, this is the one where that actually happens, I promise! I managed to beat the evil Librarians attacking Mokia (it’s not on the maps the Librarians let you see, so don’t try to find it), but Bastille was hit by some kind of knockout ray and is in a coma. The antidote is locked away in the heart of evil Librarian power - the Library of Congress. I already infiltrated one library, so a bigger one shouldn’t be that hard, right? (Help!) My father has this crazy idea about giving everyone in the world the Smedry Talents, and he’s convinced that ancient books in the Library of Congress hold the secret. But the Talents already destroyed one entire civilization, so he has to be stopped- even if I did accidentally break all the Talents during the battle. (Oops.) And now there’s a rumor that the original evil Librarian, Biblioden, has been spotted, but that can’t be true - he founded his dark cult centuries ago. There’s no way he could be back! The Dark Talent is the fifth book in this action-packed fantasy series for young readers.

Nová epická sci-fi séria od kultového autora o dievčati, ktoré sa túži stať pilotkou vo vojne s mimozemskou rasou. Spensa žije vo svete, ktorý už desaťročia čelí útokom mimozemšťanov. Piloti sú pre zvyšok ľudstva hrdinami a Spensa od detstva sníva o tom, že tiež vzlietne ku hviezdam a preukáže svoju odvahu. V ceste jej však stojí minulosť jej otca pilota, ktorého pred rokmi zabili za dezerciu. Spensa je preto pre všetkých len dcérou zbabelca a jej šance na prijatie do leteckej školy sú viac-menej mizivé. Ona je však stále odhodlaná lietať, a keď v dávno zabudnutej jaskyni nájde vrak starobylej vesmírnej lode, uvedomí si, že jej sen by sa mohol splniť – za predpokladu, že dokáže loď opraviť a (čo je možno najdôležitejšie) presvedčiť podivný stroj, aby jej pomohol. Zdá sa totiž, že loď, čo objavila, má dušu – a najmä vlastnú hlavu a pomerne svojráznu osobnosť.

Now in paperback for the first time, featuring all new covers, the Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians middle-grade series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson. It’s good to be the king! So, remember how I told you that the evil Librarians who control your world are trying to take over all the countries they don’t let you know about?the Free Kingdoms? In the last book (you’ve read the first three, right?) I, Alcatraz Smedry, foiled a plot that would have seen the rulers of those countries giving up the kingdom of Mokia for the promise of a cease-fire (which the Librarians totally would have broken in a few years). That means the battle for Mokia continues, and it’s up to me to somehow keep the Librarians from conquering it. That’s going to be super hard, because they have a ton of soldiers and even giant robots, and their powerful weapons knock people unconscious. With the royal family of Mokia all in comas, suddenly that makes me acting king! All I have to fight back with are some teddy bears and my talent for breaking stuff. Plus the dubious contributions of my uncle, Kaz, who gets lost all the time, and my cousin Aydee who is terrible at math. (We’re doomed.) At least Bastille will always be there to get me out of trouble, right? Is my first day as king bound to be the last day of my life? The Shattered Lens is the fourth book in this action-packed fantasy series for young readers.

#1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn series Brandon Sanderson continues the epic adventure he began in Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians So now you've read all about me, Alcatraz Smedry, and how I was swept out of my life in your normal world and into the fight against the Librarians (jerks!). After being all heroic and stuff in that tale, I didn't expect to charge headlong into enemy territory: the Library of Alexandria, where I--and my grandpa and my grouchy bodyguard Bastille and her even grouchier mother and some weirdly gifted cousins--would face the Curators (ghosts who will gladly help you check out a book as long as you don't mind giving up your mortal soul) and some new nasty Librarians who hate our guts...and would be happy to rip them out for us. But none of that comes close to the horror we would have to face if we succeeded in finding what we were searching for... MY DAD! (DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!) The Scrivener's Bones is the second book in this action-packed fantasy series for young readers.

Now in paperback for the first time, featuring all new covers, the Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians middle-grade series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson. I am awesome! So I told you how Grandpa Smedry showed up at my house and said “Alcatraz, come with me to save the world!” (That totally happened. You read the first two books, right?) Well, this is the book where you find out how awesome I really am! I finally make it to the Free Kingdoms?lands outside of evil Librarian control (like where you live)?and there’s a bunch of castles! And dragons! And a giant crystal mushroom where knights hang out! And a huge pig butt you can ride in! (Okay, that’s exactly as not-cool as it sounds.) Plus everyone loves me there because I’m a celebrity! (Don’t worry, I won’t let that go to my head.) Anyway, some bigwigs from the evil Librarians are in town trying to negotiate a peace treaty?and I don’t believe for a second that they actually mean it. I hope I can convince the Council of Kings it’s a terrible idea. Also, Bastille is in big trouble with the Knights of Crystallia because I broke her magic sword (whoops), but if I explain what happened they’ll let her be a full knight again, right? They’d better, or I might break something else important! (Err, knowing me, that’s bound to happen anyway...)

Experience the action-packed first book in #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson's laugh-out-loud middle-grade fantasy series like never before?Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians is now in paperback with all new covers! AN ANCIENT RIVALRY REAWAKENS. Everything I'd known about the world was a lie. On my thirteenth birthday, I, Alcatraz Smedry (yes, I got named after a prison, don’t ask) received my inheritance: a bag of sand. And then I accidentally destroyed my foster parents’ kitchen. It’s not my fault, things just break around me, I swear! I thought the sand was a joke until evil Librarians came to steal it. You’re probably thinking, “Librarians are nice people who recommend good books,” but that’s just what they want you to think! It turns out they’re actually a secret cult keeping the truth from you?a hidden world filled with magical eyeglasses, talking dinosaurs, and knights with crystal swords! Or so my Grandpa Smedry claimed when he suddenly showed up to rescue me. So now I have to go with him to invade the local library and get that sand back, before it's used to conquer the world. And Grandpa says how I keep breaking things is actually an amazing talent. There’s no way that can all be true, right? Will I ever make it back home alive?
