Amie Kaufman Knihy

Hanna pobyt na vesmírné stanici v galaxii kdesi na konci vesmíru vždy vnímala jen jako ztrátu normálního společenského života. Nikdo jí ale neřekl, že jí pobyt tady může stát život. Sága, která začala již v Illuminae, nyní pokračuje na palubě Skokové stanice Heimdall, kde se dva noví hrdinové musí střetnou s vražedným komandem BeiTechu. Hanna je hýčkanou dcerou velitele stanice, Nik naopak rebelujícím členem ze špatné rodiny. A zatímco se oba potýkají se životem na tom nejnudnějším místě v celém vesmíru, netuší, že se k nim blíží zkáza. Když elitní útočný tým BeiTechu napadne stanici, Hanna a Nik jsou donuceni spolupracovat, aby bránili svůj domov. A aby toho nebylo málo, cizí forma života zabíjí jednoho obyvatele stanice po druhém a porucha na červí díře hrozí, že časoprostorové kontinuum může být rozerváno ve dví. Brzy tak Hanna a Nik nebojují jen o svůj vlastní život – osud celého Heimdallu a možná i celého vesmíru je v jejich rukou. PRO INFORMACI: Román je vyprávěný skrze ohromující kombinaci dokumentů, záznamů, e-mailů, vojenských rozkazů, pohovorů či přepisů ze sledovacích kamer. Gemina navazuje na Illuminae a vtáhne čtenáře do úchvatného nového příběhu, který jim vyrazí dech.

Poté co se Kady, Ezra, Hanna a Nik zachránili a porušili přitom všechny existující zákony, musí se společně s několika tisíci přeživšími dostat do trvale osídlené části vesmíru. Ovšem obchodní konsorcium, které stálo za invazí na mírumilovnou planetu, to nehodlá nechat jen tak. A tak se všichni musí spojit, aby odvrátili hrozící zničení sebe, evakuační lodi i jedné malé promrzlé planety, která byla na začátku toho všeho.

Bez boje se nevzdají... doufejme! Druhý díl série Aurora od autorů Illuminae. Začněme špatnými zprávami: prastaré zlo bylo probuzeno. Dobré zprávy? Jednotka 312 je připravena všechny spasit. Snad. Jen nejdřív musí vyřešit pár drobností. Třeba klan grempů, který jim touží maličko pocuchat ksichty. Zástupy děsivých falešných agentů GIA, kteří se ze všech sil snaží zmocnit Auri. Nebo taky Kalovu naštvanou sestru, za kterou stojí syldrathská armáda. V galaxii zas bude pořádné horko – tahle skvadra v tom už ale umí chodit. Víceméně.

Dramatický příběh o přežití, ztrátě domova a bezmoci doprovází mimořádně originální grafické zpracování dokumentů, e-mailů, vojenských zpráv a novinových článků. Píše se rok 2575 a korporátní těžební kolonie na planetě Kerenza IV je napadena korporací BeiTech. Obyvatele před útokem nikdo nevaroval, nikomu na nich nezáleží a pro BeiTech jsou jen potenciálním zdrojem problémů. Kady Grantová, její bývalý přítel Ezra a několik tisíc dalších lidí dokáže utéci díky intervenci lodě pozemské vlády Alexander. Jenže po celé planetě se šíří zmutovaná epidemie. Úniková flotila se snadno může stát pastí a jejich hrobem. A jedna z lodí BeiTechu se přibližuje, rozhodnuta dokončit, co začali.

Konec je zatraceně blízko. Třetí díl série Aurora od autorů Illuminae. Co se stane, když požádáte partu ztroskotanců, aby zachránila galaxii před prastarým zlem? Prastaré zlo samozřejmě zvítězí. Počkat… ne tak rychle. Když se Jednotka 312 naposledy zapletla do mezigalaktické bitvy, všechno se strašlivě pokazilo. Ale jak se ukazuje, ne všechny konce jsou vážně konce. Je v silách týmu navazovat spojenectví, nandat to nepřátelům a tvořit historii ve velkém stylu? Jistě. Ale skutečná záchrana galaxie? Na to bude potřeba zázrak.

Píše se rok 2380 a kadeti, kteří ukončili studia na Akademii Aurora, míří na první mise. Snaha Tylera Jonese hrát si na hrdinu způsobí, že na něj zbyde jen jednotka odpadlíků a problémových typů. A do toho je tu Aurora Jie-Lin O´Malleyová, dívka, která může spustit válku gigantických rozměrů. Tyova banda podivínů teď představuje jedinou naději celé galaxie. Nejsou to hrdinové, které si zasloužíme, ale ti jediní, co byli po ruce. Hlavně žádnou paniku.

Magie, romantika a bohové ve strhující fantasy od autorky sérií Akta Illuminae a Aurora. Selly uvázla na pevnině, ale rozhodně tam nehodlá strávit zimu. Moře totiž volá a ona musí najít svého otce, který o sobě už dlouho nedal vědět. Plány jí však zkříží pohledný kouzelník. Ten potřebuje dokončit rituál na posvátných Ostrovech bohů, a tak postaví Selly i její posádku před složitý úkol: nepozorovaně překonat Půlměsíční moře. Plavba se vlivem zrady promění v noční můru, na jejímž konci se mohou dva nebezpeční bohové probrat ze staletého spánku Vražedné dobrodružství na širém moři právě začíná!

Píše se rok 2575 a dvě znepřátelené korporace jsou ve válce kvůli planetě, která je jen obřím kusem kamene. Obyvatele před útokem nikdo nevaroval, nikomu na nich nezáleží. Kady je nucená spojit se s bývalým přítelem Ezrou a snaží se dostat k evakuační lodi, která oba dostane do bezpečí. Jenže po celé planetě se šíří zmutovaná epidemie. Úniková flotila se snadno může stát jejich hrobem. Hanna a Nick se v jiné části galaxie pokoušejí zabránit zhroucení vesmíru. A Asha a Rhys? Ti se prostě pokoušejí přežít.
