    Thuvia, Maid of Mars

    From the epic John Carter of Mars series by Master of Adventure(TM) Edgar Rice Burroughs. TWO PRINCES. ONE PRINCESS. A PLANET ON THE BRINK OF DESTRUCTION. Kidnapped by a treacherous rival, the fragile peace of Mars shatters, but Thuvia of Ptarth is not a simpering damsel in distress. She proves her mettle by facing the unthinkable: how hard can it be to tame a Barsoomian lion with ten legs, an enormous jaw, and several rows of long needle-like fangs while trying to escape a forced marriage? Son to John Carter, Carthoris of Helium follows her trail across the ochre moss of dead sea bottoms to the ruins of a lost civilization. What would you do for the one you love? Where reality is an illusion and mind-power is the ultimate weapon, Carthoris and Thuvia fight for their lives-and a future that could unite two warring kingdoms. Now with a new foreword by the internationally award-winning Christopher Ruocchio, author of The Sun Eater series

    Empire of Silence. L'Impero del silenzio. The Sun Eater. Vol. 1

    Sul pianeta sbagliato, ma al momento giusto e per le ragioni migliori, Hadrian Marlowe intraprende una strada che non poteva che finire nel sangue. La galassia lo ricorda come un eroe: l'uomo che ha bruciato fino all'ultimo Cielcin alieno. Loro lo ricordano come un mostro: il diavolo che ha distrutto un sole, annientando con disinvoltura quattro miliardi di vite umane - Imperatore compreso - contro gli ordini imperiali. Ma Hadrian non è un eroe. Né un mostro. E neppure un soldato. Fuggendo dal padre e da un futuro come torturatore, Hadrian si ritrova bloccato su uno strano mondo arretrato. Costretto a combattere come gladiatore e a destreggiarsi fra gli intrighi di una corte planetaria straniera, finisce a combattere una guerra che non ha iniziato lui, per un Impero che non ama, contro un nemico che non potrà mai capire.

    Songs of the Sun Eater

    Thirteen tales from the universe of the bestselling Sun Eater series, compiled for the first time. Plus a never-before-seen novelette set after the series' conclusion! Ambitious universe-building combines with intimate character portraits for storytelling on a truly epic scale: for fans of Orson Scott Card, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Patrick Rothfuss and Jack Campbell. A green soldier faces an inhuman enemy. A machine attempts to kill her makers for daring to bring her into this world. On Delos, Crispin Marlowe must face his brother's growing legend--and the small part he played in shaping it. In the far future, an ordinary soldier comes face-to-face with a god older than time. An enemy long thought dead attacks the future from the past, and on the Planet of Fire, an old hero must kill to save his unborn daughter and prevent a war that could shatter several worlds. Here are songs of the noon of mankind, set in an age when humanity's dominion stretches far across the stars: an age of struggle, of great evil, and of still greater good. Here are songs of war, loss, and hope. Here, too, are songs of a man who changed the face and future of the galaxy entire. Songs of the Sun Eater, of Hadrian Marlowe himself.

    Shadows Upon Time

    The seventh and final novel of the galaxy-spanning series merges the best of space opera and epic fantasy, as Hadrian Marlowe at last lights the greatest fire humanity has ever seen Ambitious universe-building combines with intimate character portraits for storytelling on a truly epic scale--for fans of Orson Scott Card, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Patrick Rothfuss, and Jack Campbell The trumpet sounds. The end has come at last. After his victory at Vorgossos, Hadrian Marlowe finds himself a fugitive, on the run not only from the Extrasolarians, but from his own people, the Sollan Empire he betrayed--and who betrayed him. Hidden safely beyond the borders of human space, Hadrian awaits the arrival of the one ally he has left: the Jaddian Prince Kaim-Olorin du Otranto. What's more, the inhuman Cielcin have vanished, unseen for more than one hundred years. The armies of men have grown complacent, but Hadrian knows the truth: the Cielcin are gathering their strength, preparing for their final assault against the heart of all mankind. Only Hadrian possesses the power to stem the tide: an ancient war machine, forged by the daimon machines at the dawn of time. The mighty Demiurge. With it, Hadrian must face not just the Cielcin horde, but their Prophet-King, and the dark gods it serves--the very gods who shaped the universe itself. This must be.

    Imperio del Silencio, El

    Hadrian Marlowe, a man revered as a hero and despised as a murderer, chronicles his tale in the galaxy-spanning debut of the Sun Eater series, merging the best of space opera and epic fantasy. It was not his war. On the wrong planet, at the right time, for the best reasons, Hadrian Marlowe started down a path that could only end in fire. The galaxy remembers him as a hero: the man who burned every last alien Cielcin from the sky. They remember him as a monster: the devil who destroyed a sun, casually annihilating four billion human lives - even the emperor himself - against Imperial orders. But Hadrian was not a hero. He was not a monster. He was not even a soldier. Fleeing his father and a future as a torturer, Hadrian finds himself stranded on a strange, backwater world. Forced to fight as a gladiator and into the intrigues of a foreign planetary court, he will find himself fighting a war he did not start, for an empire he does not love, against an enemy he will never understand.
