Titoli in Post-apocalittici

Tutto ciò che Jamie Allenby ha sempre desiderato è avere spazio intorno a sé, in cui sentirsi finalmente libera. Per questo ha abbandonato la Terra, sovrappopolata e claustrofobica, rifacendosi una vita in un mondo di frontiera, ai bordi della civiltà. Quando però un virus dilagante colpisce l'umanità, annientandola e lasciandone solo un vago ricordo, Jamie si ritrova definitivamente sola, finché un messaggio giunto dalla Terra accende in lei una flebile speranza... Chi è il suo autore?

In 2007, the Center for Automation in Nanobiotech (CAN) outlined the hardware and software platforms that would one day allow robots smaller than human cells to make medical diagnoses, conduct repairs, and even self-propagate. In the same year, the CBS network re-aired a program about the effects of propranolol on sufferers of extreme trauma. A simple pill, it had been discovered, could wipe out the memory of any traumatic event. At almost the same moment in humanity’s broad history, mankind discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall. And the ability to forget it ever happened.

The orcs have been driven back, and Ironshore still stands. But for Elijah Hart, victory rings hollow without his family. Ready to resume his search for them, he'll trek across monster-infested wilds, to magical rifts that spill nightmares into the world, and through the ruins of a shattered Earth.

"– Vous ne savez pas ce qui est arrivé ? Tous les moteurs d'avions se sont arrêtés hier à la même heure, juste au moment où le courant flanchait partout. Tous ceux qui s'étaient mis en descente pour atterrir sur la terrasse sont tombés comme une grêle. Vous n'avez rien entendu, là-dessous ? Moi, dans mon petit appartement près du garage, c'est bien un miracle si je n'ai pas été aplati. Quand le bus de la ligne 2 est tombé, j'ai sauté au plafond comme une crêpe... Allez donc jeter un coup d'œil dehors, vous verrez le beau travail !"

Ominous Obelisks land on Earth with a single message: Join the Games to give humanity a fighting chance to survive... Or roll over and die. Too bad for them, Warren isn't the rolling over type. Warren is on the Battle World and, in order to survive, he needs to summon his inner diplomat. Warren is no diplomat. But despite lacking a mouth filter, he's forming very unlikely allies. Will they last? Or is Warren just setting himself (and humanity) up for a knife in the back?

Indefinibile trovarsi all'interno di una cattedrale sapendo che fuori nulla è più come prima, sapendo che il mondo non è solamente cambiato... Non esiste semplicemente più. Il progresso, che non fu quasi mai sinonimo di civiltà, ha cancellato i secoli. Fuori da quell'edificio, che aveva caparbiamente resistito, l'umanità è regredita in maniera irreversibile, ma... Due sconosciuti si incontrano, un uomo e una donna... Tutti e due figli dello stesso silenzio... C'erano state tante persone nelle loro vite... Ma avevano attraversato altri ponti...

In un gustosissimo mix letterario, che coniuga scenari post-apocalittici e sperimentazioni linguistiche, la vulcanica chimera Mazza-Sensolini ci trascina con sé in un’avventura truculenta, cinica e spassosissima. Dopo il Crollo, l’estate dura sei mesi e in Emilia Romagna vigono i decreti anti-mutagene. Il Cinno e il Gasato sono due mezzi sopravvissuti: "ultimo dei bolognesi" l’uno, mutante di Riccione l’altro, costituiscono il perfetto filtro per narrare un mondo stravolto in cui la mitologia è costituita ormai dalle icone pop della nostra epoca.

Coloro che per uno scherzo del destino sono stati condannati a un'esistenza desolata e pericolosa su quello che un tempo era considerato il mondo degli uomini, sanno di avere un conto in sospeso con il male oscuro e sconosciuto che li ha scelti come vittime. Sono soli e abbandonati a sé stessi, eppure inscindibilmente legati a coloro con cui condividono la sorte, uomini che un tempo avrebbero forse disprezzato e che ora invece considerano l'unica speranza rimasta in quel nuovo universo, dominato da forze insondabili e nemiche. Brent, Luca, Charlie, Boricio.

Growing stronger has brought its own challenges as Silas is more of a target than ever. Worse, the Earth and its allies become targets too. Decisions have been made and obligations accrued. The threats exist at many levels, but the one that must be dealt with first is one that doesn't seem to have any agenda but raw destruction. Silas must walk his own path and create a new way if he wants a future that diverges from the horrors he has been shown.

Anhelo los días previos a la Última Desolación. Los días en que los Heraldos nos abandonaron y los Caballeros Radiantes se giraron en nuestra contra. Un tiempo en que aún había magia en el mundo y honor en el corazón de los hombres.

After a brief and deadly civil war, in which forbidden weapons were used, Russia is just a fraction of what it used to be. The border of what now proudly calls itself the "Moscow Empire" is set just a few hundred miles away from the capital, by the broad river Volga, now poisoned by the fallout...

Setting off on an initial quest to discover a hidden evil, Jonnie unlocks the mystery of humanity’s demise and unearths a crucial weakness in their oppressors.

The day Jerusalem falls, Miriam Elmahdy knows her life is over. Houses are burning, the streets run red with blood, and a traitorous army is massacring every last resident. There is no surviving this, especially not once Miriam catches the eye of War himself. But when the massive and terrifying horseman corners Miriam, he calls her his wife, and instead of killing her, he takes her back to his camp.

Durante mil años han caído las cenizas y nada florece. Durante mil años los skaa han sido esclavizados y viven sumidos en un miedo inevitable. Durante mil años el Lord Legislador reina con un poder absoluto gracias al terror, a sus poderes y a su inmortalidad. Le ayudan "obligadores" e "inquisidores", junto a la poderosa magia de la alomancia. Pero los nobles a menudo han tenido trato sexual con jóvenes skaa y, aunque la ley lo prohíbe, algunos de sus bastardos han sobrevivido y heredado los poderes alománticos: son los "nacidos de la bruma" (mistborn).

The world is on the brink of a chain reaction of cataclysmic natural disasters, threatening to thrust the planet into a full-fledged extinction-level event.
