New Releases by Rick Yancey

Flesh-eating danger abounds in the chilling sequel to The Monstrumologist that is “as fast-paced, elegant, and yes, gruesome as its predecessor” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). While Dr. Warthrop is attempting to disprove that Homo vampiris, the vampire, could exist, his former fiancée asks him to save her husband, who has been captured by a Wendigo—a creature that starves even as it gorges itself on human flesh. Although Dr. Warthrop considers the Wendigo to be fictitious, he relents and performs the rescue—but is he right to doubt the Wendigo’s existence? Can the doctor and Will Henry hunt down the ultimate predator, who, like the legendary vampire, is neither living nor dead, and whose hunger for human flesh is never satisfied? This second book in The Monstrumologist series explores the line between myth and reality, love and hate, genius and madness.

This fast-paced, action-packed adventure—which is set in the world of I Am Number Four—is perfect for fans of the Darkest Minds series and the X-Men franchise. After the battle in Switzerland, the Fugitive Six find their allegiances torn, dividing them into two factions. Taylor, Kopano, and Nigel return to the Academy with Nine, but nothing is the same. As fear and resentment of the Human Garde continues to grow, the United Nations decrees that all humans with Legacies must be implanted with inhibitors. So our heroes will have no choice but to rebel. And with the Foundation still at large, Isabela, Caleb, and Ran have decided to join forces with their former foes Einar and Five to hunt them down. But when a new threat is revealed, the group may find itself painfully outmatched. Facing capture or annihilation from all sides, the only hope the Human Garde have for survival is to stand together once and for all to fight back against their true enemies. Return to Zero is the epic conclusion to the story of the Garde.

La segunda parte de la espectacular trilogía épica La quinta ola. Después de la quinta ola... Los otros buscan supervivientes en el mar infinito. Cassie Sullivan y sus compañeros han sobrevivido a las cuatro olas de destrucción de los Otros. Ahora, con la raza humana prácticamente exterminada y la quinta ola arrasándolo todo, se enfrentan a una elección: esperar a Evan Walker o huir en búsqueda de otros supervivientes antes de que el enemigo los alcance. Consumidos, pero no derrotados. Acosados, pero no sometidos. Esta guerra ha dejado de ser de humano contra alienígenas. Es la lucha de la esperanza contra la desolación. De la fe contra el miedo. Del amor contra el odio. Y la humanidad es el campo de batalla. Saben cómo piensas, saben cómo matarte. Creen que no tienes ninguna oportunidad. Pero no saben... que no estás solo.

Hur förgör man hela jordens befolkning? Man berövar människorna deras mänsklighet. I Den femte vågen kämpade Cassie för att hitta sin lillebror. Hon lyckades, men striden mot De andra är långt ifrån över. Cassie, Ben, Ringer och de andra måste fortsätta kämpa mot en osynlig fiende. Men en sak är säker: De andra kommer inte att ge upp förrän hela mänskligheten är utrotad.

Cassie har överlevt de tre första faserna av en utomjordisk attack. Hennes föräldrar är döda och lillebrodern tillfångatagen. Nu flyr hon för livet, hon flyr från De andra. De andra ser ut som människor, men de har ett uppdrag som de sköter med kallblodig perfektion - att döda alla de ser. Cassie har valt att inte lita på någon. Hon vet att ensam är stark inte bara är ett utnött uttryck, utan det kanske enda sättet att hålla sig vid liv.

Comment débarrasser la Terre de ses sept milliards d''habitants ? Retirez aux hommes leur humanité... Cassie Sullivan et ses compagnons ont survécu aux quatre premières vagues destructrices lancées par les Autres. Maintenant que l''espèce humaine a été presque entièrement exterminée et que la 5e Vague déferle sur la planète, le groupe se trouve face à un choix : se préparer à affronter l''hiver en espérant le retour rapide d''Evan Walker, ou se mettre en quête d''éventuels survivants avant que l''ennemi ne referme sur eux son impitoyable piège. Personne ne peut prédire à quels abîmes de cruauté les Autres sont prêts à s''abaisser, ni à quelles hauteurs l''humanité saura se hisser. La bataille finale ne fait que commencer... Ils connaissent notre manière de penser. Ils savent comment nous exterminer. Ils nous ont enlevé toute raison de vivre. Ils viennent maintenant nous arracher ce pour quoi nous sommes prêts à mourir. Le deuxième tome de la trilogie phénomène, adaptée au cinéma par Tobey Maguire et les producteurs de World War Z, Argo, Hugo Cabret, Aviator, Gangs of New York, Ali.

Die erste Welle brachte Dunkelheit. Die zweite Zerstörung. Die dritte ein tödliches Virus. nach der vierten Welle gibt es nur noch eine Regel fürs Überleben: Traue niemandem! Das hat auch Cassie lernen müssen, denn seit der Ankunft der Anderen hat sie fast alles verloren: Ihre Freunde und ihre Familie sind tot, ihren kleinen Bruder haben sie mitgenommen. Das Wenige, was sie noch besitzt, passt in einen Rucksack. Und dann begegnet sie Evan Walker. Er rettet sie, nachdem sie auf der Flucht vor den Anderen angeschossen wurde. Eigentlich weiß sie, dass sie ihm nicht vertrauen sollte. Doch sie geht das Risiko ein und findet schon bald heraus, welche Grausamkeit die fünfte Welle für sie bereithält ...

Di notte, Cassie non può più guardare il cielo stellato con gli stessi occhi di prima; ora sa che loro arrivano da lì, da quegli astri luminosi e distanti, e arrivano per distruggere il suo mondo. Cassie è tra gli ultimi superstiti, sola, in fuga da loro, esseri mandati sulla Terra per sterminare la specie umana: l''unica speranza che le resta è ritrovare Sammy, il fratellino che le è stato strappato dalle braccia. Quando il misterioso Evan Walker si offre di aiutarla, Cassie capisce che deve prendere una decisione: fidarsi o rinunciare alla sua missione, arrendersi o continuare a lottare. In un''avventura che mescola la suspence de La guerra dei mondi e l''azione di Io sono leggenda, Rick Yancey narra l''avvincente lotta di una giovane donna determinata e temeraria.

Soms denk ik dat ik de laatste mens op aarde ben. Dat betekent dat ik de enige mens in het universum ben. Dat is onzin, ik weet het. Ze kunnen niet iedereen gedood hebben nog niet.

Zij die het land doorkruisen om eenieder te vermoorden die ze tegenkomen. Cassie gelooft dat er maar één manier is om te overleven: door alleen te blijven.

Maar Cassie moet kiezen tussen vertrouwen en wanhoop, tussen verzet of overgave. Tussen leven... en dood.

Als Schüler von Dr. Pellinore Warthrop hat Will Henry sein Leben der Monstrumologie gewidmet: dem Studium von Monstern. Aber als Dr. Warthrop die Existenz des mythischen Wendigo beweisen will, gerät Wills Welt aus den Fugen. Will und der Doktor müssen die Einöden Kanadas durchqueren. Und dabei entdecken sie eine Wahrheit, die viel schrecklicher ist, als sie sich je hätten träumen lassen.

Will Henry is an orphan, and assistant to a doctor with a most unusual specialty: monster hunting. Working by the doctor''s side, Will must help fight back against creatures from the darkest myths and legends in human history to protect the people of the world.

When Dr. Warthrop goes hunting for the "Holy Grail of Monstrumology" in 1888, twelve-year-old orphan Will Henry follows him to Socotra, plunging into depths of horror worse than anything he has experienced so far.

There are some things deep within the belly of the earth that should never be disturbed. Which is exactly why Alfred wants to stay at home. When a vision foretells a cataclysmic battle between the "Sons of Light" and the "Sons of Darkness", Alfred is called into action. Whoever finds the fabled 13th skull of Merlin, will have in his hands the power to usher in a new Dark Age ... and the Apocalypse. And so the race is on to find the skull, which rests at the bottom of an abyss called Krubera - a place so terrifying it nearly drove Alfred''s mentor, Op-Nine, insane...

Alfred Kropp, orphelin de quinze ans solitaire et maladroit, vit dans une famille d’accueil sinistre et est persécuté par ses camarades. C’est pourtant le dernier descendant de Lancelot ! Porteur d’un sang guérisseur, il est déjà mort et revenu, après avoir sauvé le monde... Alors qu’il vient d’apprendre qu’il est l’héritier d’une fortune colossale, Alfred est enlevé par l’OPIPE (l’Office des paradoxes interdimentionnels et des phénomènes extraordinaires), qui compte bien l’utiliser. En effet, les mythiques sceaux du Roi Salomon ont été dérobés et les déchus qui y sont enfermés depuis 3000 ans feront régner l’enfer sur terre s’ils recouvrent leur liberté... ce qui ne tarde pas à arriver ! Entraîné dans une course-poursuite infernale avec le mystérieux Agent Neuf, Alfred doit vaincre ses peurs pour retrouver les sceaux et affronter les démons... Grâce à l’espoir, seule valeur qui distingue l’homme des déchus, il parviendra une nouvelle fois à sauver le monde.
