The Indiscretion of the Prime Minister
Jennie must surely regret her impersonation of the Princess von Steinheimer at the Duchess of Chiselhurst’s Ball. Detectives know it wasn't the real Princess and are pressing her for more information. And, in the meantime, she received a letter from her Highness:
"My dear Jennie,” her Highness wrote, “I am sure the detectives are after you, and so I thought it best to send you a word of warning. Of course it is only surmise on my part, but for days there has been a woman hovering about the castle, trying to get information from my servants. My maid came directly to me and told me what she knew. The woman detective had spoken to her. This inquisitive person, who had come from Paris, wished particularly to know whether I had been seen about the castle during the week in which the Duchess of Chiselhurst’s ball took place; and so this leads me to suppose that some one is making inquiries for you. It must be either Lord Donal Stirling or the Duke of Chiselhurst, but I rather think it is the former. I have written an indignant letter to Lord Donal, accusing him of having caused detectives to haunt the castle. I have not yet received a reply, but Lord Donal is a truthful person, and in a day or two I expect to find out whether or not he has a hand in this business. Meanwhile, Jennie, be on your guard, and I will write you again as soon as I have something further to tell.”
Ominous developments, indeed! And how does the Prime Minister fit into all this?

A mágia diadala
Miután a Végzetnek nevezett betegség elpusztította a civilizációt, a mágia mindennapossá vált, és Fallon Swift azzal töltötte az ifjúságát, hogy elsajátítsa minden csínját-bínját. Fallon addig nem élhet békében, amíg fel nem szabadítja azokat, akiket a kormány vagy a fanatikus Tisztaság Harcosai üldöznek. Eltökélt szándéka, hogy még azokat is megmentse, akik félelemből vagy gyengeségből bűnrészességet vállaltak ezzel a gonosszal… ha valóban megmenthetők.
Duncanhez, a harcostársához fűződő köteléktől megerősödve Fallonnak már számtalan alakváltót, manót és hétköznapi embert sikerült megmentenie. Most segítenie kell nekik, hogy meggyógyuljanak… és újra felfedezzék a fényt és a hitet magukban. Mert bár születésétől fogva ő a kiválasztott, akkor is csak egyetlen ember. És most, hogy egy régi nemezissel néz szembe, az ellenség fellegvárára veti a tekintetét, és beteljesíti a sorsát – hogy helyreállítsa a titokzatos pajzsot, amely egykor mindannyiukat védte –, egész hadseregre lesz szüksége…

Az Éden kapui
Úgy hiszed, a Föld biztonságos?...
Lee és Mal, a két jó barát hobbiszörnyvadászok. Akkor is éppen különös lényekről szóló mendemondáknak jártak utána a Bodmin-lápvidéken, amikor valami túlságosan is valóságosra bukkantak, és az útról egyedül Lee tért vissza. Most, négy év után az eltűnt Mal váratlanul megjelenik – de hol járt eddig, és mi történt vele?
Dr. Kay Amal Khant, a kormánynak dolgozó fizikust támadás éri, a tettesek kézre kerítésében a titkosszolgálat segítségét kérik. Julian Sabreur, az MI5 ügynöke a nyomozás folyamán rémisztő terepre téved, ahol egy ismeretlen hatalommal és annak félelmetes erejű ügynökeivel kerül szembe. Az egyetlen nyom, amely Julian rendelkezésére áll, egy biztonsági kamera szemcsés felvétele – rajta egy lány, akinek sok-sok éve nyoma veszett a Bodmin-lápvidéken. Dr. Khan extradimenzionális kutatásai tisztán elméletinek számítottak. De csak addig, amíg véletlenül repedésekre nem bukkant a valóságunkban, amelyeken át más világokra nyert bepillantást, párhuzamos Földekre, ahol különös teremtmények élnek. Ezek a repedések napról napra tágulnak, és ki tudja, miféle lények settenkedhetnek át rajtuk. És ugyan mi fog történni, amikor a világokat elválasztó falak leomlanak?
Adrian Tchaikovsky az elsöprő sikerű Az idő gyermekeiben hosszú utazásra hívta olvasóit térben és időben. Ezúttal a végtelen űr helyett alternatív valóságok labirintusába invitál, szédítő ötletei és féktelen képzeletének eredménye egy újabb sodró lendületű, szenzációs regény.

The Fabulous Feats of Billy
Billy’s new tech start-up sits on the verge of greatness. A fantastic reward for leaving his rotten old job in the dust.
Until a miscalculation lands Billy in a nightmare.
And he only sees one way out.
Unfortunately Billy’s way out puts him squarely in cybercrime expert Dana Sanderson’s sights.
Will Dana catch him before it’s too late?
A Dana Sanderson Short Mystery
An excerpt from The Fabulous Feats of Billy:
The first line you cross is the easiest
??Billy pulled the power cord out, running it idly through his fingers.?
The lax security and asset tracking wasn’t all he knew about Gossalor. ?
He knew the yearly, quarterly, and monthly profit numbers for the place. They were nowhere near AllState or State Farm numbers, no. ?
But they were easily a thousand times more profitable than the amount Billy was pulling his hair out over.?
And twenty-eight thousand wasn’t much, not really. Not compared to the settlements Gossalor paid out every single day. Many times a day. Paying out was part of doing business for them, and they clearly had plenty to spare.?
Sometimes a gold-plated nest could do without a feather or two.?
Especially if no one would ever be the wiser.?

Melting Point
An Invisible Countdown to Death
A cookie-cutter suburban house. A strange aroma. A dead body, and a suspect refusing to talk.Sometimes a stumped investigation needs a non-standard mind.A perfect case for Dana and her best friend Andre to work their magic.Can they solve the crime before the next victim's time runs out?
A Dana Sanderson Short Mystery
An excerpt from Melting Point:
Mira took a long drink of her coffee, staring out over the trees outside before she focused on Dana again.
"We've got the suspect, sure. Sitting in lockup, smug as hell, and not saying a word. What we need from you, Dana, is how on earth she did it."
Dana drew back, blinking. "Me? I'm just an insurance investigator. This is your field. Surely the GBI has people on this." "
They do. And they're coming up empty so far. Some of these cases are months old. They're afraid this woman had a longer list of people she was paid to knock off."
Mira took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a few seconds.
"They'll probably find it," she said, "but I can't stop wondering what would have happened if someone totally innocent had walked into that bedroom instead. Like maybe her niece or nephew."

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - A két mutáns
A kíváncsi szemek elől magát áthatolhatatlan anomáliákkal védő Patkó-tó csábítja a könnyű pénz szerelmeseit. A tó közepén lévő házban ugyanis egy öreg stalker él, aki a pletykák szerint nem kevés ritka relikviát halmozott fel. Ám a Zóna semmit sem ad túl egyszerűen. Sem a banditákkal ideiglenes szövetséget kötő Szabadság klán tagjainak; sem a Szolgálat osztagának, akik elesett bajtársaikat akarják megbosszulni; sem a katonai stalkereknek, akiket parancs kötelez, hogy bármi áron megtaláljanak és kihozzanak onnan egy embert. A Zóna mindannyiukat a tó partjára „hívta”, és most lehetőséget ad számukra eldönteni, melyikük méltó megpillantani a kincseket. De csak az események középpontjába keveredett két mutáns érti meg igazán, hogy a próbatételek egy náluk nagyobb erőtől származnak, és senki sem az, aminek látszik…

From what you’re telling me about this jimsonweed, we need to make damn sure they don’t brew it up thinking they can settle down for their afternoon naps.”Regina held her breath, trying not to imagine Trevor’s face if he was part of something like that happening, even with his usual best of intentions.

Show me where I won’t be in your way. We’ll find him.”
