It's time for the Great Navigator Rosgard to lead his seafaring armadas toward the far-off new continent. Waldyra's players are impatient to get there. But instead, Rosgard becomes a father. Although his mischievous daughter is only a digital creation of this virtual world, the challenges of being a father are the same. Besides, she isn't a child anymore but a restless teen. The girl is a potential goddess in the making, and her arrival into this world isn't exactly welcome by the gods of old whose thrones are getting a bit shaky.

When Glenn’s old friend, Zack Silverstone, and the fugitive Soulseer, Anna Bronzelight, uncover an ancient threat that could destroy Wolfpine, Rebecca Coldbreaker and her fellow Blazers are called to action once more. Circumstances arranged by the Gods will set Glenn, Zack, and the Blazers on a path that may end up costing all of them their lives. Even if they manage to save Wolfpine, none will ever be the same... and some may not survive.

Besitzt ein einziger Mensch das Recht, über das Schicksal aller zu entscheiden? Im Stadtstaat Neo-Orbis hat sich der Großteil der Bevölkerung längst mit einer uneingeschränkten Überwachung durch die Regierung abgefunden. Es fehlt nur noch wenig zu einem totalitären System. Als die Auftragsdiebin Sia nach einem Einbruch im Besitz eines unscheinbaren USB-Sticks ist, erkennt sie noch nicht die Bedeutung der darauf gespeicherten Datei Eden.exe. Doch die Staatsgewalt versucht mit allen Mitteln, das Programm an sich zu reißen. Für Sia beginnt eine wilde Flucht quer durch die Mega-City.

Now short of a house, Basil and his pets are leaving the countryside for the wider world. Their goal? To show the factions vying for control over post-apocalypse Europe that nothing can beat a dragon-riding tamer and his monster menagerie. However, Basil's crusade soon encounters new challenges.

Gestern war Altai noch ein Kriegsheld. Heute ist er ein Gefangener, der die Verbannung auf den Planeten Rhapsodie der Todesstrafe vorgezogen hat. Das Sperrgebiet kennt keine Gnade. Tausende von Gefangenen kämpfen hier gegeneinander um einen Platz unter der seltsamen, kalten Sonne. In den Ruinen lauern die Überbleibsel außerirdischer Biomechanismen und außer Kontrolle geratene terranische Kriegsmaschinen. Das menschliche Leben wird in virtuellen Erfahrungspunkten gemessen, die gegen Rüstungen und Implantate eingetauscht werden können.

Segundo tomo de esta saga del padre del cyberpunk. Enviaron un sabueso explosivo en busca de Turner por Nueva Delhi, cargado con sus feromonas y el color de su pelo. Las zaibatsu Biolaboratorios Maas y Hosaka se enfrentan por la dominación mundial, mientras mercenarios como Turner o vaqueros del ciberespacio como el Conde Cero no son más que peones de un juego que escapa a su comprensión: útiles, pero prescindibles en última instancia.

Streng nach den Regeln spielen? Das kommt für Kronprinz Georg nicht in Frage! Um sein Erscheinen am Hof des Imperators hinauszuzögern, lockt er feindliche Aliens in sein eigenes Sternensystem. Das gesamte Imperium verfolgt wie gebannt die Liveübertragungen, die den Kampf seiner Flotte gegen die furchteinflößenden Eindringlinge zeigen. Die Iseyek - gigantische intelligente Gottesanbeterinnen - sind ebenfalls schwer beeindruckt und erinnern den Kronprinzen prompt an seine Verpflichtungen als ihr Verbündeter. Die Flotte von Sektor Acht eilt den Insekten zur Hilfe.

Esiste una guerra silenziosa. Le armi sono invisibili, gli schieramenti fluidi e di difficile identificazione. Potrebbe sembrare una spy story da romanzo, eppure vicende come quella degli attacchi informatici avvenuti nel corso delle ultime elezioni americane sono soltanto alcuni tra i più eclatanti episodi di cyber war, una realtà a metà strada tra spionaggio e atto di guerra. Cina, Corea del Nord, Stati Uniti, Russia, cani sciolti, mercenari del web.

How tough do you need to be to withstand life's storms? What would you do, if everything that you've worked so long and hard to achieve comes crumbling down within an hour? Presumably, when this happens in life, it takes great effort to overcome despair—even if this life is virtual. For the dwarf named Crow, virtual life is no less important than reality. This is because the game holds great meaning, currently known only to the hero of the story, while the listener can only make guesses.

Never before did the world of Waldyra face a threat as terrible as this one. A whole continent has gone insane—and it's heading towards the Old Continent on a collision course. If the two continents collide, the whole world will shake to its very foundation, and the ensuing destruction will be unimaginable.

I am Andrew First, Leader of the Architects Clan. We've managed to leave Novosibirsk, where the zombies and mutants are becoming stronger and more numerous by the day. Our goal now is to found our own city. But there are many other groups of survivors besides us, and every one of them wants to get the best spot for themselves. We've fought against zombies, fought against mutants, fought against monsters. Can it really be that now we're going to have to aim these weapons at other people?

I'm a college student who watched with my own eyes as the world descended into hell. A Dark Sphere arrived on Earth, turning half the planet into zombies. They thrive on killing us—people—as every kill fuels their development and makes them stronger. Besides zombies, there are also mutants—mutated animals—plus monsters: bizarre creatures in possession of striking strength and abilities. Levels, skills, new yet unheard-of objects…our world has changed.

Few people on Rhapsody have ever managed to achieve what Altai has achieved. The status of a champion, a high level, increased loyalty of the Administration . . . But when things go completely sideways and the Range system falls apart, virtual achievements lose value. When forts perish and the Perimeter collapses, when the Xenos have swarmed Limbo and are trying to break into Elysium, the only things that matter are the thick walls, a supply of ammunition, and a friend's shoulder to lean on.

For Olgerd, the month in recovery which followed his month-long full immersion stint in Mirror World may have felt like a single day. But while he relaxed in the bosom of his loving family, in-game events progressed in leaps and bounds. The clans of both Light and Dark continue their lightning expansion into No-Man's Lands. Reports of violent clashes between clan scouts—both with other contestants and local top-level monsters—fill the pages of game and multimedia news feeds as everyone is trying to win the juiciest morsels of these new territories for themselves.

Staggering clear of the final showdown with Drakainis, Halek Cain gets bad news. Scheid is on his way to petition the Sovereignty of Oroth to become their emergency dictator. With hundreds of worlds and billions of people to feed his grand armada, the man will be unstoppable. What’s a Reaper to do but light a cigar, snap out a cybernetic blade, and saunter into the heart of enemy territory. Can he and his friends infiltrate the Oroth home world and stop their ultimate enemy from seizing absolute power? Will they survive the final battle that follows?

Уильям Гибсон прославился трилогией "Киберпространство" ("Нейромант", "Граф Ноль", "Мона Лиза овердрайв"), ставшей краеугольным камнем киберпанка и определившей лицо современной литературы на десятилетия вперед.

Cursed and dying, Thorn has landed at a crossroad. He can either give up and die, or walk a path he never wanted to touch. Reluctantly accepting that his only chance at life rests in corrupt magic, Thorn soon finds himself exploring a world of ancient mysteries, all while trying to hide his tracks from those who want to hunt him down. Pursued by bounty hunters intent on dragging him back in chains, Thorn soon discovers the plot is deeper than he thought. Even the Tardoff clan, one of the powerful challenger families, is intent on capturing him and extracting his knowledge of ancient runes.

Уильям Гибсон прославился трилогией «Киберпространство» («Нейромант», «Граф Ноль», «Мона Лиза овердрайв»), ставшей краеугольным камнем киберпанка и определившей лицо современной литературы на десятилетия вперед. Но очень быстро жанровому революционеру стали тесны рамки любого жанра — и за совместной с Брюсом Стерлингом стимпанк-эпопеей «Машина различий» последовала «Трилогия Моста» («Виртуальный свет», «Идору», «Все вечеринки завтрашнего дня»), действие которой происходит в своего рода альтернативном настоящем, а фабула триллера, футуристический антураж и виртуозная скупость стилевых приемов порождают взрывоопасный, но неотвратимо притягательный коктейль.

The year is 2375, and the world has been drained of most of its natural resources. In order to preserve their dying planet, the government puts The Digital Life Initiative into action. Those deemed of low economic value are placed into a state of cryogenic sleep, their minds connected to a myriad of virtual worlds. They become digital citizens, living out their lives in virtual cities. Kadia Greene wasn’t someone who had any interest in the virtual worlds, unlike her brother who spent his days wasting away in a VR capsule.
