    Book : The Way Of Kings (the Stormlight Archive) - Br (6679)

    -Titulo Original : The Way Of Kings: Book One Of The Stormlight Archive (The Stormlight Archive, 1)-Fabricante : Tor Books-Descripcion Original: bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, , Book One of the Stormlight Archive begins an incredible new saga of epic proportion. Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them. One such war rages on a ruined landscape called the Shattered Plains. There, Kaladin, who traded his medical apprenticeship for a spear to protect his little brother, has been reduced to slavery. In a war that makes no sense, where ten armies fight separately against a single foe, he struggles to save his men and to fathom the leaders who consider them expendable. Brightlord Dalinar Kholin commands one of those other armies. Like his brother, the late king, he is fascinated by an ancient text called The Way of Kings. Troubled by over-powering visions of ancient times and the Knights Radiant, he has begun to doubt his own sanity. Across the ocean, an untried young woman named Shallan seeks to train under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinar's niece, Jasnah. Though she genuinely loves learning, Shallan's motives are less than pure. As she plans a daring theft, her research for Jasnah hints at secrets of the Knights Radiant and the true cause of the war. The result of over ten years of planning, writing, and world-building, The Way of Kings is but the opening movement of the Stormlight Archive, a bold masterpiece in the making. Speak again the ancient oaths: and return to men the Shards they once bore. The Knights Radiant must stand again.

    Book : For The Win - DOCTOROW, CORY

    -Titulo Original : For The Win-Fabricante : Tor Books-Descripcion Original: Its the twenty-first century, and all over the world, MMORPGs are big business. Hidden away in China and elsewhere, young players are pressed into working as gold-farmers, amassing game-wealth thats sold to Western players at a profitable markup. Some of these pieceworkers rebel, trying to go into business for themselves but theres little to stop their bosses from dragging them back into servitude. Some of them, like young Mala in the slums of Bombay nicknamed General Robotwallah for her self-taught military skill become enforcers for the bosses, but that only buys them so much. All the way over in L.A., young Wei-Dong, obsessed with Asian youth culture and MMORPGs, knows the system is rigged, knows that kids everywhere are being exploited. Finally, he and his Asian counterparts begin to work together to claim their rights. Under the noses of the ruling elites, they fight the bosses, the game owners and the rich speculators, outsmarting them with their street-gaming skills. But soon the battle will spill over from the virtual world to the real one, leaving the young rebels fighting not just for their rights, but for their lives…. Review “Doctorow is indispensable. Its hard to imagine any other author taking on youth and technology with such passion, intelligence, and understanding.” Booklist, starred review on The Win “For the Win is not a perfect book merely a glorious one.” The Seattle Times on The Win “A rousing tale of techno-geek rebellion--as necessary and dangerous as file sharing, free speech, and bottled water on a plane.” Scott Westerfeld, Author of Uglies, Pretties, and Specials on The Win “A terrific read... A cogently written, passionately felt argument.” The New York Times on Little Brother “A believable and frightening tale of a near-future San Francisco.

    -Titulo Original : Sati-Fabricante : Tor Books-Descripcion Original: I once knew this girl who thought she was God. She didnt give sight to the blind or raise the dead. She didnt even teach anything, not really, and she never told me anything I probably didnt already know. On the other hand, she didnt expect to be worshipped, nor did she ask for money. Given her high opinion of herself, some might call that a miracle. I dont know, maybe she was God. Her name was Sati and she had blonde hair and blue eyes. For all who meet her, Sati will change everything. Sati may change everything for you. Review “The ancient hope for redemption is recast in this sprightly contemporary parable, the first adult novel from a bestselling author of young adult fiction” Publishers Weekly “[A] carefully and sparingly written fantasy…Sati could be a valuable addition to a growing library of multicultural literature for high school students. Although its characters are not from minorities, it will make a fine introduction to non-Christian religious beliefs, for Satis philosophy and persona is based on a mixture of Buddhist, Hindu, and other spiritual thought.” School Library Journal About the Author CHRISTOPHER PIKE is a multi-million copy bestselling author whose books have appeared multiple times on the USA Today, New York Times, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists.

    Book : Four And Twenty Blackbirds - Cherie Priest

    -Titulo Original : Four And Twenty Blackbirds-Fabricante : Tor Books-Descripcion Original: Although she was orphaned at birth, Eden Moore is never alone. Three dead women watch from the shadows, bound to protect her from harm. But in the woods a gunman waits, convinced that Eden is destined to follow her wicked great-grandfather--an African magician with the power to curse the living and raise the dead. Now Eden must decipher the secret of the ghostly trio before a new enemy more dangerous than the fanatical assassin destroys what is left of her family. She will sift through lies in a Georgian ante-bellum mansion and climb through the haunted ruins of a 19th century hospital, desperately seeking the truth that will save her beloved aunt from the curse that threatens her life. From Publishers Weekly The classic Southern gothic gets an edgy modern makeover in Priests debut novel about a young womans investigation into the truth of her origins. What Eden Moore digs up in the roots of her diseased family tree takes her across the South, from the ruins of the Pine Breeze sanitarium in Tennessee to a corpse-filled swamp in Florida, and back in time to the Civil War, when the taint in her family bloodline sets in motion events building only now to a supernatural crescendo. Priest adds little new to the gothic canon, but makes neo-goth chick Eden spunky enough to deal with a variety of cliche menaces-a scheming family matriarch, a brooding Poe-esque mansion and a genealogy greatly confused with inbreeding-that would have sent the genres traditional wilting violets into hysterics. Eden is a heroine for the aging Buffy crowd, and her adventures will play best to postadolescent horror fans. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist In this new edition of a novel that was 100 pages shorter in its original, regional-publisher printing in 2003, Priest sinks deep into the tale of a Tennessee orphan who draws upon grit worthy of Scarlett OHara to extract an evil canker from her Spanish moss-hung family tree. Visitations by spirits spur Eden, who has grown up seeing ghosts, to pursue dangerous genealogical research. Also fueling her investigations are attempts on her life by a maniacal cousin, whose plots have the blessing of a crusty old matriarch resentful of Edens slave--descended branch of the family. This southern-gothic closet is fairly overflowing with skeletons, from a polygamist wife murderer to a coven of voodoo priests. It all screeches to a somewhat unsatisfying halt after a cinematic climax, but theres mystical, sultry appeal in the thick Chattanooga atmosphere and strong characterizations (Edens tongue is as sharp as the heels of her signature black boots), and a mixed-race heroine lends welcome diversity to a genre well populated with porcelain-complected heroines. Jennifer Mattson Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved Review “Cherie Priest kicks ass! Four and Twenty Blackbirds is lush, rich, intense, and as dark and dangerous as a gator-ridden swamp.” Maggie Shayne, New York Times bestselling author of Blue Twilight“Fine writing, humor, thrills, real scares, the touch of the occult . . . had me from the first page. I read straight through. An absolutely wonderful debut, and a book not to be missed.” Heather Graham, New York Times bestselling author of Haunted“Cherie Priest has created a chilling page-turner in her debut novel.

Banks, author of Minion and The Vampire Huntress Legend Series“Spooky and engrossing, this revenge play is as sticky as a salmagundi made from blood and swamp dirt. Priest can write scenes that are jump-out-of-your-skin scary. This is the first installment in what I can only hope will be a long and terrifying friendship.” Cory Doctorow, author of Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town“Won...

ISBN: 978-0-7653-7776-0 CHAPTER 1 Collinsport, 1797 Even though I had promised Peter never to leave the cottage without him by my side, nor to wander into the village alone - people were still suspicious and many persisted in the belief that I was the witch - that afternoon I found myself in the woods on the other side of the stream from the gypsy camp, peering through the trees and trying to get a glimpse of the settling in. I had heard the wagons passing before dawn, the snorts of the tired horses whose hooves had been padded with straw, and the squeaking of wheels in the ruts. I crept to the window and pushed open the shutter to watch the vardoes with their rounded roofs lumber down the road like giant snails silhouetted against the brightening sky. Peter woke and mumbled into his pillow, Stay away from the commons, Victoria. Those wretched people are not to be trusted. I withdrew and closed the latch thinking I should heed his words, but there was so little excitement in sleepy Collinsport, a fishing village where the only topic of conversation was whether the sea was calm or violent, or who had drowned in the last storm. Watching the caravan pass in the mist had flushed a longing in me to catch sight of the earliest gypsies, to see how they managed, these roaming travelers who called no country their own. I thought I would only observe them from a distance, and I would be back in my kitchen before dark. The day was warm and windy with thin streaks of cloud painted across the sky, and I breathed in the rank odor of the ...

Jordans hefty addition to his massive series begins very much in medias res as an unknown danger threatens the city of Tar Valon, home of the powerful, nunlike Aes Sedai. In a whirlwind of uncertainty stirred up by the conflicting motivations of such groups as the Whitecloaks, the Darkfriends and Trollocs (among an abundance of others), Rand travels to the city of Rhuidean in the Aiel Waste for answers. Jordan ( The Dragon Reborn ) seems to be intent on turning the series into an endless soap opera; in each successive volume he introduces more new elements than he resolves. What was originally a mood-setting technique--the tendency of most characters not to share their special knowledge with either their companions or the reader--has by now become boring. Hundreds of characters and dozens of conflicting plots cause much of the action to take place offstage. As a result, this fully imagined saga threatens to burst the seams of its steadily more intricate design. Nevertheless, the sheer force of his invention develops a momentum that established Jordan fans, and probably like-minded new readers, will find hard to resist. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal As the power of the Dark One grows stronger, Rand alThor and his friends face greater challenges in their war against the Shadow. From the halls of Tar Valon, where the Aes Sedai mystics discover agents of darkness in their own ranks, to the Aiel Waste, where a hidden city holds secrets forbidden to all but a few, Rand and his companions seek to fulfill the destiny laid out for them. Jordans multivolume epic continues to live up to its high ambitions. Complex plotting, an array of strong characters, lavish detail, and a panoramic scope make this series a feast for fantasy aficionados. Expect demand for this.Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review...
