Summary

We, written by Russian author Evgenii Ivanovich Zamiatin, is a groundbreaking dystopian novel that explores the concept of a totalitarian society where individuality is suppressed in favor of collective unity. The book, originally published in 1924, serves as a precursor to other famous dystopian works such as George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Zamiatin's distinctive literary style combines elements of satire, science fiction, and political commentary to create a thought-provoking and timeless story. The novel is presented in the form of diary entries by the protagonist, D-503, offering readers a unique and intimate glimpse into the protagonist's inner thoughts and struggles. Through vivid imagery and allegorical storytelling, Zamiatin paints a vivid picture of a society under constant surveillance and control, challenging readers to contemplate the dangers of conformity and the importance of individual freedom. Evgenii Ivanovich Zamiatin's own experiences living under a repressive regime in early 20th-century Russia undoubtedly influenced his writing of We, making it a poignant and relevant read for those interested in exploring themes of government oppression and the struggle for personal identity. This novel is a must-read for fans of dystopian literature and those interested in delving into the complexities of human nature and societal control.

Exiled from the court of Queen Elizabeth for accusing a powerful nobleman of treason, swordsman-turned-spy Mal Catlyn has been living in France with his young valet Coby Hendricks for the past year. But Mal harbours a darker secret: he and his twin brother share a soul that once belonged to a skrayling, one of the mystical creatures from the New World. 
 
When Mal's dream about a skrayling shipwreck in the Mediterranean proves reality, it sets him on a path to the beautiful but treacherous city of Venice-and a conflict of loyalties that will place him and his friends in greater danger than ever. 
 
"The Merchant of Dreams never fails to entertain. Whether you like action, magic, romance or mystery there is something for you here." -Mazarkis Williams

THE FINAL HUNT BEGINS 
The Star Federation is at war. When the Seventh Sun ambushed Sciyat—a glowing beacon of peace—the galactic military retaliated with a purge, calling for the elimination of all Neo-Andromedans across the galaxy. Fleet Commander Erica Anderson helped initiate the purge. She now fights to destroy the Seventh Sun, no matter the cost. 
Captain Jason Stone tried to stop the purge. He failed. Now, Jason is torn between his duties as a soldier and his beliefs as a man. He has his orders, but when he swore to protect the galaxy, he never imagined genocide. Fighting enemies both within and outside of the Star Federation, Jason resists the purge where he can, and holds on to threadbare hope for a disgraced officer and a bounty hunter. 
Lance and Lissa are out to find and eliminate the leaders of the Seventh Sun. They agree that they need to destroy the dangerous Neo-Andromedan organization, but this hunt may demand too much from Lissa. Hunting bounty targets is easy; hunting her own people is unforgivable. Together, Lance and Lissa must face their enemies, but if either of them breaks, they will lose far more than their lives.The hunt is on, and only the strong will survive.

Andrey has finally obtained the first of the five swords he needs to complete the Goddess of Fate's quest. Now his path is taking him to the subterranean city of the Gremlins, Arkem. Gremlins are unpleasant, rascally creatures, with a twisted system of logic and a penchant for limitless chaos. So trying to negotiate with them is always fraught with danger. Fortunately, they happen to worship the mechanisms of the Ancients, which are somehow, mysteriously, connected to Andrey's hidden "Slider" class. This means that Andrey has a chance of recovering the second sword after all. Everything gets complicated, however, when a breach to the Inferno opens in Arkem, through which comes an invasion force headed by none other than Lamia, the Succubus who dreams of shredding Falk into tiny little ribbons.And the real world is full of problems, too—mysterious people keep trying to kidnap Andrey, and he's forced to use his newfound abilities to protect himself. As if that weren't enough, the game menu is now popping up in real life, which is making him question his own sanity. But the main question is: are there other people who've acquired powers from the game like he has? And what will it all lead to in the end?
