Après Carbone modifié, le roman à l''origine de la série Netflix phénomène Altered Carbon, Richard Morgan nous replonge dans l''univers cyberpunk sombre et palpitant de Takeshi Kovacs. Réenveloppé dans un corps conçu pour le combat tactique, Takeshi Kovacs est désormais un mercenaire engagé dans une guerre sanglante qui ravage la planète Sanction IV. Kovacs profite du conflit pour rejoindre un petit groupe qui essaie de s''approprier une découverte archéologique inestimable. Et, de fait, il est propulsé dans un maelström d''intrigues et de trahisons en comparaison duquel le conflit qu''il vient de quitter fait pâle figure. En effet, toutes les corporations tueraient pour cette découverte. Car elle risque de signifier la fin de l''humanité ou le début d''une nouvelle ère. Or dans ce XXVIIe siècle d''une humanité ravagée par la violence, les hommes sont bien mal préparés à l''héritage qui s''offre soudain à eux : les étoiles !

Earth, 2020. United States Special Forces Major Laurence ''Prophet'' Barnes and the soldiers of Raptor Team thought their deployment on the Lingshan islands was a basic covert op against North Korean forces. They couldn''t have been more wrong. Archaeologists have awoken a nightmare on the island that has lain buried for millions of years, the Ceph, an alien race utterly hostile to human life. In a battle that stretches across the solar system and back, can Prophet and Raptor Team stop the aliens and save mankind?

A compelling standalone dark fantasy set in a gritty post-WWI Britain which has been overrun by the fae, from the award-winning author of Altered Carbon. The Great War was supposed to be the war to end all wars—and maybe it would have been, had an even greater, otherworldly foe not arisen to extinguish the conflict. Overnight, as guns blazed away in France and Flanders, village after village in the quiet British countryside were swallowed by the Forest. And within the Forest lurk the Huldu—an ancient fae race, monstrous in their inhumanity, who have decided that mankind''s ascendency over the world can endure no longer. Enter Duncan Silver. Scarred by the war, fueled by a rage deeper than the trenches in which he once fought, Duncan is determined to show the Huldu that the world is not theirs for the taking. Armed with a cut-down trench gun filled with iron shot and a deadly iron knife, Duncan will stop at nothing to return the children the Huldu have stolen from the arms of their families. No matter how many Huldu he may have to slaughter along the way. But when he is hired by a mother to return her four-year-old daughter, Miriam—taken by the Huldu six months past and replaced with a Changeling—all hell breaks loose. Miriam is a pawn in a much bigger game for dominance than Duncan ever expected, and several long-buried secrets from his past are about to be violently resurrected.

In the distant future, the human body is a temporary and interchangeable commodity - if you can pay. For the interstellar elite, bodies are swapped out and reused without a second thought. You never grow old; you never die. However, some bodies are more temporary than others... Takeshi Kovacs was once a member of the Envoy Corps, stormtroopers for the Interstellar Earth Protectorate, ultra-lethal adepts in switching bodies across the stars. While he served, he was known by a variety of names--Mamba Lev, One Hand Rending, the Icepick--all testament to his capacity for rapid response and extreme violence in whatever flesh he wore. Now he''s out of the service and trying to live a different life. But the Protectorate hasn''t changed its spots, no matter what world Kovacs drifts to, and with that old combat rage still burning deep inside him, will he ever really be able to walk away? Created by Richard K. Morgan, Altered Carbon was previously adapted as a Netflix television series. This original graphic novel, written by Rik Hoskin (Brandon Sanderson''s White Sand/Pierce Brown''s Red Rising, expands upon the Altered Carbon universe.
