  He has lost it all – his family, his health, his job. When life loses all meaning but revenge against your enemy, you can follow him even to another world from where you have no chance of returning. With nothing but uncertainty ahead. 
  Now he is a teenager who has been sold for debts to the school of Quan. The school is little different from a prison, and the hero’s status – from slavery. 
  There one is expected to work tirelessly and take tablets that cause addiction. Once you begin taking them, there is no escape from the place. 
  There are only two ways out – become a fighter and win a chance to achieve freedom by becoming a soldier of the Zhou family; or work to exhaustion until adulthood and be sent off to the silver mines, where few survive longer than three years. 
  Our hero’s body is weak, his status in the school low, and he has no friends. He would appear to be doomed, but the spirit of the one who finds himself in the boy’s body in pursuit of his enemy forces him to cling to life, to grow stronger and stronger instead of breaking. His memory cannot give him a complete answer as to who he is and what was in his past. But his recollection steadily returns, and his weak body is ready to grow strong through training with his teacher and through the abilities of the Chosen One. He is ready to challenge those who want to break him. 
  Now he is called Lei, which means Thunder. And he intends to rumble so loud that the one he seeks will hear him. 
  Martial arts, superpowers and a hero’s story of growth. The first of five books of an exciting progression fantasy tale in wuxia style. Read this new series, already a bestseller in its home country, now in English too!

  The Inquisitor by Robert Silverberg - It wasn't that Kroll enjoyed watching the traitors broken in body and spirit. But why did they keep insisting they were innocent before—The Inquisitor 
  When Conway Kroll reached his office that morning, there were three prisoners waiting to be interrogated. He smiled coldly at the sight of them, standing in the large bare room awaiting their fate. 
  "Good morning," he said, with steely politeness. "My name is Kroll. It is my job to conduct the interrogation to which you three will be subjected today." 
  One of the three—a tall, youthful-looking man—glared up at him bitterly. "Interrogation? Torture, you mean!" 
  Kroll brought his eyes to rest on the man who had spoken slowly, almost scornfully. "You have the wrong idea completely, my friend. It is necessary to persuade you to divulge certain facts. The State requires it of you. If you refuse—" He gestured sadly—"we must compel you. But you are all so determined to make things hard for us. I don't want to hurt you, you know." 
  "But you will hurt us," said another of the prisoners. She was a girl, no more than twenty, slim and darkhaired. Even in the dreary prison garb, thought Kroll, she retained her beauty. "You're going to torture us!" 
  Kroll shrugged: "I repeat: I don't want to." 
  He looked at his watch. "Come; we are wasting time, and the Inquisitor is waiting. Miss Horniman, you must be first." 
  The girl shrank back behind the bitter-eyed young man. The third prisoner, a resigned-looking, balding man of fifty or so, did not change his expression. 
  "Take me first," the man said. "Leave her alone." 
  Again Kroll shrugged. "The Inquisitor would like Miss Horniman first, Mr. Leslie. This is the preferred order, and this is the order that will be."
