New Releases by Daniel Abraham

Ramon Espejos Leben verläuft bei Weitem nicht so wie geplant. Nicht nur, dass er auf einem kaum erschlossenen Kolonieplaneten gestrandet ist. Er muss auch noch vor der Justiz in die Wildnis flüchten, weil er im Streit um eine Frau seinen Gegner getötet hat. Dort wird er von einem bislang unbekannten Alien-Volk gefangen genommen. Da entkommt ein anderer menschlicher Gefangener der Kontrolle der Aliens. Diese zwingen Ramon, den Flüchtigen für sie zu verfolgen. Er soll ihn aufhalten, bevor die Kolonie von der Existenz der Aliens erfährt. Aber vielleicht ist das auch die Gelegenheit für seine eigene Flucht?

The epic conclusion to The Dagger and The Coin series, perfect for fans of George R.R. Martin. Lord Regent Geder Palliako''s great war has spilled across the world, nation after nation falling before the ancient priesthood and weapon of dragons. But even as conquest follows conquest, the final victory retreats before him like a mirage. Schism and revolt begin to erode the foundations of the empire, and the great conquest threatens to collapse into a permanent conflict of all against all. In Carse, with armies on all borders, Cithrin bel Sarcour, Marcus Wester, and Clara Kalliam are faced with the impossible task of bringing a lasting peace to the world. Their tools: traitors high in the imperial army, the last survivor of the dragon empire, and a financial scheme that is either a revolution or the greatest fraud in the history of the world.

Und während am anderen Ende der Welt Träume in Flammen aufgehen, beginnt im Feuer zugleich ein neues Zeitalter. Das große Fantasy-Epos als Graphic Novel

THE RISE OF THE DRAGON AND THE FALL OF KINGS Lord Regent Geder Palliako''s war has led his nation and the priests of the spider goddess to victory after victory. No power has withstood him, except for the heart of the one woman he desires. As the violence builds and the cracks in his rule begin to show, he will risk everything to gain her love - or her destruction. Clara Kalliam, the loyal traitor, is torn between the woman she once was and the woman she has become. With her sons on all sides of the conflict, her house cannot stand, but there is a power in choosing when and how to fall. And in Porte Oliva, banker Cithrin bel Sarcour and Captain Marcus Wester learn the terrible truth that links this war to the fall of the dragons millennia before, and that to save the world, Cithrin must conquer it.

Bestselling writer Daniel Abraham and acclaimed illustrator Tommy Patterson bring their stunning graphic-novel adaptation of George R.R. Martin''s classic A GAME OF THRONES to a stunning finish that merits a place on the bookshelf of every fantasy fan alongside the majestic original. The death of King Robert Baratheon and the imprisonment of his Hand, Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell, has set the great houses of Westeros at one another''s throats. In Winterfell, Eddard''s eldest son and heir, Robb Stark, has gathered an army and is pushing south, determined to free his father. Along the way, he pledges to marry the daughter of Lord Walder Frey in exchange for a military advantage that allows him to capture Jaime Lannister--a powerful bargaining chip to ensure Lord Eddard''s safe release. But it is one thing to capture the Kingslayer and quite another to hold him. Meanwhile, in King''s Landing, young King Joffrey has other ideas than an exchange of prisoners. Ignoring the advice of his mother, Queen Cersei, he throws oil on the flames of conflict and ignites a conflagration that seems likely to consume not only the Starks but all of Westeros--unless Tyrion Lannister, the Imp, can bring the mad boy-king to heel. Beyond the Wall, greater dangers are brewing, as a winter as brutal as any in history approaches, bringing with it unnatural creatures out of legend. There, Eddard''s bastard, Jon Snow, must decide once and for all where his loyalties lie. And across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen will learn the true measure of grief--and emerge from its fiery depths transformed, hardened, and ready to claim what is hers by right: the Iron Throne.

A new generation of aces comes of age as twenty-one of them compete against each other in a series of tasks and stunts on the blockbuster TV reality show "American Hero," and John Fortune, son of the show''s creator, discovers his destiny.

La città-stato di Saraykeht, la cui opulenza supera ogni immaginazione, è tra le più ricche delle città dell’estate. Al suo porto confluiscono i più importanti mercanti del mondo, e per le vie si sentono parlare tutte le lingue conosciute, portate dal fiorente commercio. La pace e la prosperità sono garantite dagli andat, pensieri dotati di forma umana e poteri quasi divini, affidati ai poeti, che li mantengono sotto uno stretto controllo e per questo rivestono una posizione di prestigio all’interno della società. Ma Saraykeht diviene il bersaglio di un’elaborata congiura che comincia con l’astuto inganno di un andat, il quale innesca un processo distruttivo dalle conseguenze catastrofiche. E davanti all’ombra che si allunga sulla città e sul suo futuro, Amat, supervisore di un’importante casata, tenta di proteggere la sua gente dalla povertà e dalla guerra che sembrano avvicinarsi, intessendo rapporti tanto cruciali quanto pericolosi. Comincia così un complesso gioco d’intrighi e sotterfugi, in cui lealtà, onore, amicizia e tradimento porteranno ognuno a fare scelte estreme e immensi sacrifici. Da uno degli autori di Fuga impossibile, il primo volume di una tetralogia che ha rivelato a lettori e critica un nuovo talento.

Los dragones son seres del pasado, pero fueron los creadores de todas las razas humanoides que pueblan el mundo, cada una de ellas adaptada a una función determinada: la guerra, el arte, la minería con éxito desigual y origen de casi todos los conflictos que conducen al Sendero del Dragón, el camino que lleva a la guerra. Durante el verano se vuelven a producir escaramuzas entre los nobles, pero esta vez la caída de unos granos de arena sin importancia va a provocar un alud que amenaza con arrastrar a los protagonistas de la novela: Marcus, un mercenario especializado en proteger caravanas, Cithrin, un huérfano criado por un banco que debe trasladar grandes riquezas a través de una zona de guerra, y Geder, descendiente de una familia de la nobleza, más interesado en la filosofía que en la espada.

An amazing array of the most popular and exciting names in epic fantasy are set to appear in this, the first in a brand new series of anthologies of fantasy fiction.

George R. R. Martin''s Wild Cards multi-author shared-world universe has been thrilling readers for over 25 years. Now, in addition to overseeing the ongoing publication of new Wild Cards books (like 2011''s Fort Freak), Martin is also commissioning and editing new Wild Cards stories for publication on Tor.com. Daniel Abraham''s "When We Were Heroes" is an affecting examination of celebrity, privacy, and the different ways people deal with notoriety and fame--problems not made easier when what you''re famous for are superpowers that even you don''t fully understand. At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

The heart of the world is bleeding, the People''s Paradise of Africa is having it out with the Caliphate, and the Sudan is a charnel house. The powers-that-be aren''t doing anything. The UN might set up a committee. But the time for action is now. So, one by one, the aces join the fight, each for their own reasons.

When a private envoy of the queen and member of Lord Carmichael''s discreet service goes missing, Balfour and Meriwether are asked to look into the affair. They will find a labyrinth of dreams, horrors risen from hell, prophecy, sexual perversion, and an abandoned farmhouse on the moors outside Harrowmoor Sanitarium. The earth itself will bare its secrets and the Empire itself will tremble in the face of the hidden dangers they discover, but the greatest peril is the one they have brought with them. Balfour and Meriwether in the Incident of the Harrowmoor Dogs is the first novella length work in the Balfour and Meriwether stories by Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award nominated author Daniel Abraham.

Otah Machi, caught between ancient wonders and a modern empire, has survived more than most men endure in two lifetimes. In Price of War, an omnibus collection of An Autumn War and The Price of Spring, magic and treacherous politics bring a bitter harvest of violence and tragedy to the world he must defend. But when all is darkest and the world seems utterly lost, there is yet hope for the salvation of a future yet undiscovered. All depends on Otah, and those with the power to shape it, if they can find the courage to forgive their own trespasses and redeem their lost hopes. This unforgettable fantasy epic series, the Long Price Quartet, marks Daniel Abraham as a unique voice and one of the most enthralling fantasy writers to emerge in recent years.

War and madness cast shadows over the lands dragons once ruled. Geder Palliako''s star is rising. He is a hero of Antea, protector to the crown prince, and darling of the court. But storms from his past are gathering, and with them, a war that will change everything. Cithrin bel Sarcour founded a powerful bank on stolen wealth, forged papers, and ready blades. Now every move she makes is observed, recorded, and controlled. Unless Cithrin can free herself from her gilded cage, the life she made will be for naught; war may provide just the opportunity she needs. An apostate priest sees the hidden hand behind all: a long-buried secret of the dragon empire threatens everything humanity has built. An age of madness and death approaches, with only a few doomed heroes to stand in its way.

A value-priced omnibus of the first two novels of Daniel Abraham''s classic Long Price Quartet—groundbreaking, unique fantasy of rare power and originality In this omnibus edition of A Shadow in Summer and A Betrayal in Winter, the aggressively expansionist Galt empire has already conquered lands across a huge continent. But the cities of the Khaiem resist Galt''s power with the andat—creatures of magic with godlike powers. Each andat is brought into being by a "poet" who must say the right words and exert the iron will needed to control gods. The industrialized Galt war machine is helpless against the powers of the andat...but political intrigue and deep treachery combine to shift the balance of power in a world of ancient empires and immortal magics. One man, Otah Machi, stands at the crossroads of history in these imaginary world fantasies, the fulcrum around which the wheels of epic history rotate through achingly poignant cycles of life and death, love and betrayal. Shadow and Betrayal marks Daniel Abraham as one of today''s most brilliantly original young fantasy writers.
