Blade of Truth
Farsight is back! As the legendary commander comes out of retirement, can he deal with both a vicious alien invasion and the plotting of an ethereal to save his home? It's another action-packed tale from the master of the t'au empire, Phil Kelly.
Deep in the Vior'losan desert, an exile both revered and reviled lives a life of solitude. Farsight has retired his uncanny alien sword and bleeding-edge XV8 battlesuit so that his beloved enclaves can prosper in peace. But when the jaws of a tyranid bio-fleet close in on Vior'los, threatening to devour his adopted home, he must once more take up his blade in its defence.
As the tyranids consume the planet and its enclaves, however, an inside threat emerges in the form of the scheming ethereal Aun'Va, and the fortress world is soon reduced to its last eight warriors. Among them is Torchstar, a young rebel in possession of battlesuits prised from Aun'Va's iron grip, and as unlikely allies are thrown together in the dwindling hope of victory, Farsight's ultimate test is still to come.

Mistborn 1: Zrodení z hmly
Už tisíc rokov padá na impérium popol a nijaká rastlina nedokáže zarodiť. Vo svete, ktorému vládne krutý Pán vládca, sú skaaovia podradnou rasou, obyčajnými otrokmi, ktorí sa každé storočie pokúšajú o vzburu. A keď sa nádej stane už len spomienkou na neúspešné snaženie, z pekla pracovných táborov sa podarí uniknúť mužovi, ktorý sa to všetko rozhodne zmeniť. Kelsier je polovičný skaa, a preto má schopnosť čerpať silu z magických kovov, ktoré mu prepožičiavajú výnimočné vlastnosti. Sníva o zvrhnutí tyranského Pána vládcu a o svete, v ktorom by viac nebolo otrokov. No aj s pomocou tých najšikovnejších kriminálnikov je stále o krok pozadu. Až kým nestretne Vin, mladé šestnásťročné dievča so schopnosťami, o akých sa nikomu ani len nesnívalo. S jej pomocou by mohli nad Pánom vládcom zvíťaziť, no ich plán sa už od začiatku zdá odsúdený na neúspech. A aj keby sa stal zázrak, je to len jedna bitka z mnohých, ktoré ešte treba vybojovať.
