Beschreibung

Experience the end of the world as we know it in two classic novels from “one of science fiction’s most revered writers” (USA Today).   Now in one volume: two post-apocalyptic adventures from the visionary mind of Grand Master of Science Fiction and Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Poul Anderson.  The Winter of the World   A second Ice Age has destroyed civilization. From its ruins arises the powerful Rahidi empire, bent on seeking world domination and leaving devastation in its wake. But its invasion of the primitive Rogaviki may not go as planned, for at the head of their forces is the indomitable Donya of Hervar, a woman of courage and conviction who will not let her people perish without a fight . . .   “An intriguing mystery about the Rogaviki people . . . Quite a worthwhile read. Certainly [Anderson] put a lot of thought into this novel and he’s achieved something worthwhile and exhilarating.” —SFReviews.net  Twilight World   After the nuclear holocaust of World War III, humanity has to rebuild in the midst of famine, savagery, and chaos. Residual radiation has resulted in an increasing rate of mutant births. But as the human race faces its own extinction, some of the so-called abnormal children may have just what it takes to survive . . .  Praise for Science Fiction Grand Master Poul Anderson   “Anderson has produced more milestones in contemporary science fiction and fantasy than any one man is entitled to.” —Stephen Donaldson   “The great canvas of interstellar space comes alive under Anderson’s hand as it does under no other.” —Gordon R. Dickson   “One of science fiction’s most influential and prolific writers.” —The Daily Telegraph

    Gwen Waters gets the chance to find out when she’s recruited into the time traveling black op run by the FBI. In the six years since the loss of her husband and infant daughter, Gwen has been in survival mode, trying to just get through every day, barely living. Then the Transtemporal Agency comes knocking, offering Gwen a second chance at a life, and the opportunity to do good in the world. 
    Gwen quickly discovers that time travel is dangerous and challenging. She feels the exhilaration of having a purpose again--correcting rifts in the timeline. She also finds friends and support unlike she’s ever experienced. Gwen starts to realize that she could actually be happy. Despite the magical new life she’d been handed, Gwen can’t stop asking herself, what if her husband and daughter hadn’t died? Is it worth giving up all she’s gained to go back and undo the last six years? What will happen to the Transtemporal Agency if she decides to go back?

    Prison of a Billion Years by	C.H. Thames - Adam Slade was a man who had nothing to lose by making a break for it. The trouble was, he knew that no one had ever escaped from the—Prison of a Billion Years 
    Adam Slade crushed the guard's skull with a two foot length of iron pipe. No one ever knew where Slade got the iron pipe, but it did not seem so important. 
    The guard was dead. That was important. 
    And Slade was on the loose. With a hostage. 
    That was even more important. 
    The hostage's name was Marcia Lawrence. She was twenty-two years old and pretty and scared half out of her wits. She was, before she became a hostage, a reporter for Interplanetary Video. She had been granted the final pre-execution interview with Adam Slade and she had looked forward to it a long time but it had not worked out as planned. 
    It had not worked out as planned because Slade, only hours from the execution chamber with absolutely nothing to lose, had splattered the guard's brains around the inside of his cell and marched outside with a frightened Marcia Lawrence. 
    Outside. Outside the cell block while other condemned prisoners roared and shouted and banged tin cups on bars and metal walls and judas-hole-grills. Outside the prison compound and across the dome-enclosed city which served the prison. 
    Then outside the dome.

    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The apocalypse will be televised! Welcome to the first book in the wildly popular and addictive Dungeon Crawler Carl series—now with bonus material exclusive to this print edition. 
    You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That’s what. 
    Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show. 
    Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.

    The war of the three realms begins here… 
    In the heart of the Samtoy Nation during the pre-colonial era of Philippine history, the world of Filipino heroes, deities, and mythological monsters collide in an ambitious re-telling of a classic Filipino epic. 
    Our story begins with Namongan, a healer and midwife from an isolated village in the Ilocos Region who discovers that she is destined to bear a child blessed by the Poon deities. This child is Lam-ang and he is the first Lakandian. Maturing at a rate unheard of amongst mere mortals, Lam-ang also possesses the strength of a hundred men and was trained to be the greatest warrior for good the mortal realm has ever seen. 
    Together with Mangmankik, an anito spirit assigned to look after him by the Poons, Lam-ang sets out on a quest to find the missing pieces of the Gayaman Amulet and rescue his father who was abducted by the insidious night creatures on the night that he was born. 
    This book covers the first half of the life of Lam-ang, derived from the Ilocano epic Biag ni Lam-ang. The story follows the adventures of our hero as he uncovers the truth about himself as well as the truth about his role in the war between the forces of good and evil that threatens not just the fate of the world of men but all the realms of the spirit world as well.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    One morning, the world’s desires flip. Every sexual orientation has inverted — the straight are now drawn to their own sex; the gay find themselves reaching in the opposite direction. 
    The people you were drawn to yesterday no longer pull at you. The ones you overlooked suddenly blaze with possibility. Families fracture, relationships mutate, and governments scramble to regulate the chaos as if longing itself has become a biological hazard. 
    Across continents, ordinary lives tilt on their axes: In New York, scientists race to decode the phenomenon before panic hardens into policy. In Tokyo and Madrid, friendships, crushes, and marriages teeter as people try to understand who they are now meant to be. In Thessaloniki, a restless university student finds herself torn between fear and reinvention as the city rearranges itself around new truths. 
    And through it all moves the possibility of connection — fragile, dangerous, and newly recalibrated. 
    The Other Gaze weaves together humor, philosophy, global politics, and the intimate confessions of people trying to make sense of a world where desire no longer obeys old rules. From cafés to laboratories, dance floors to family kitchens, the novel traces the tiny rebellions and unexpected freedoms that emerge when the heart refuses to behave. 
    A sharp, moving, and unexpectedly hopeful literary novel for readers who love character-driven stories with big ideas at their core — a story about adaptation, longing, and the quiet courage of wanting more, even when the world feels newly impossible.
